January 14th, 2026: Minnesota, Groundhog Day And Chat GPT

Host Lindsey Vernick walks through a mix of unsettling and oddly light headlines: six top federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned amid a controversial Justice Department-led crackdown, raising protests and concerns about civil liberties. She also covers Milltown, New Jersey’s struggle to replace its groundhog after safety and health rules blocked imports, and the death of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, whose career blended massive success with later controversy. Lindsey closes with a personal anecdote about hitting her messaging limit and everyday life stressors, delivering the news with a bit of humor and humanity. #dailynews #podcast #funny #comedy #chatgpt #minnesota #DOJ #ScottAdams #Dilbert
