January 23rd, 2026: Oscar Nominations, Snow And Hair Ties

Host Lindsey Vernick delivers a fast-paced roundup of the day's headlines: J.D. Vance's visit to Minneapolis amid an ICE crackdown, protests and legal concerns, the Oscar nominations with Sinners breaking the all-time record, and a large storm stirring snow panic across the Northeast. She breaks down the key details — from protesters and policy to Hollywood surprises and forecasting confusion — and offers practical takeaways about weather apps and what to trust. The episode also includes light personal moments (a gym hair-tie rescue, a laundry mishap), a cooking tip (truffle olive oil), and a reminder to stay safe and warm this weekend.
