Good News Sandwich (feat. John Fugelsang)

Friday, September 4, 2026

Today, the Missouri Supreme Court has paused the Republican gerrymander netting Democrats 1 seat this November; ICE agent Christian Castro has been federally charged with false statements over his shooting of Sosa-Celis in Minnesota but not the actual shooting because the Justice Department blocked that; a federal judge has blocked Trump’s new order limiting birthright citizenship; ICE plans to spend $5M creating a national voter database; Speaker Johnson has canceled House votes for the next two weeks after Democrats propose a new Epstein Files discharge petition; the House has rejected Mike Johnson's amendment to keep the Supreme Court at 9 Justices; the Pentagon has suspended the testosterone testing program but for worse reasons than you think; a whistleblower says ICE skipped basic standards in a rush to recruit; Mitch McConnell’s staff says they hope he’ll return to the Senate September 14th; Maria Bartiromo is leaving Fox News effective immediately; the trailblazing journalist and activist Gloria Steinem has died at 92; plus Allison delivers your Good News.
