On the day before Thanksgiving, Dan Savage, Eli Sanders, and Rich Smith sit around the table and say things about Trump’s terrible, no-good, un-American week that you *might* not want to repeat while your conservative uncle’s carving turkey.

After that, Katie Herzog arrives with a shocking side-dish of inarguably good, Republican-supported criminal justice reform policy that really, truly has Trump’s approval and just might pass Congress before the end of this year. What???

Finally, Rich has some delicious, no-fuss recipes for you to fall back on if you’re panicking about what to bring to Friendsgiving.

Plus, as always, the music of Ahamefule J. Oluo.
