Bad Data, Bold Arrests, and a President Who Forgot the Plot

We’re diving in headfirst because something ain’t right, and we can feel it in our spirit, our scalp, and our voter registration card. The Department of Homeland Security has rolled out a shiny new database tool supposedly designed to spot noncitizens on voter rolls—except the thing is glitchier than a dial‑up modem in a thunderstorm. And guess who’s getting kicked off the rolls? Actual eligible voters. Funny how that keeps happening, right?Then there’s the arrest almost nobody talked about: Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen, detained during the State of the Union and who recently testified before Congress about her brutal, unlawful treatment by ICE. We’re unpacking why this story should have been everywhere—and why it wasn’t.And because the world refuses to give us a moment to breathe, we’re also looking at a president who seems to have skipped the pregame, midgame, and endgame strategy sessions on Iran. We’re not saying the plan is missing—we’re just saying if it exists, it’s hiding better than Bigfoot.Finally, we’re heading to the NAACP Awards, where the BAFTA N‑word incident somehow managed to steal the spotlight. Yes, we’re going there—with honesty, humor, and the kind of compassion that still leaves room for a side‑eye.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.
