The Longest 100 Days, Ghaznavi(!) Missiles in Pakistan, Canadians Rebuke Trump, and Vance Ruins Easter for the Italians
So much covered this week! The Trump administration crosses the 100 day mark, tensions rise in Kashmir, a surprising victory in Canada, and, of course, not to be forgotten, JD Vance keeps reminding us why he’s hated all over the world. And what's the deal with Seena's last name on a missile?
ICYMI here's what we covered:
100 Days of Trump
We did our own reckoning of Trump's first 100 days and then checked in with Stephen Miller, who was proclaiming three major Administration accomplishments on Fox News. Quite an impressive list....
We also looked into some recent polling that suggests maybe Americans aren't too thrilled with Trump. Although our buddy keeps insisting otherwise:

Terrorists in Kashmir
After talking through the tragic news of the recent terrorist attack in Kashmir, we take a brief look at the history of the region and why it continues to be fertile ground for violence in the on-going conflict between India and Pakistan. As both sides ramp up rhetoric and weaponry (including the Ghaznavi missile?!) we discuss our worries about where this escalation may lead.
A Check-In With Two of Our Neighbors to the North
Our Canadian neighbors send a message to Trump by electing the least exciting candidate to ever run for office. We look at what that means and other ways our former friends have distanced themselves. For more on what the elections in Canada and Australia mean, check out this NYTimes article.
Our other northern neighbors in Greenland also aren't too pleased with us. It's getting a little lonely out there.
JD Vance Pissing People Off
Speaking of not being liked, count on JD Vance to always take top prize.
