    This week on It’s News To Us:

    Lauren Boebert pushes back against a House Ethics complaint alleging inappropriate relationships with staffers and a reported $200,000 payment to a former aide. We break down what’s actually alleged, what Boebert and the people named in the complaint are denying, and why the ethics questions go beyond the more sensational headlines.

    CNN, MS NOW, and Politico sue the Trump administration after being barred from the White House, while major television networks refuse to fill CNN’s spot in the presidential press pool. We look at the First Amendment fight, the 1977 Sherrill v. Knight precedent, and the surprising return of the same judge involved in CNN’s 2018 Jim Acosta case.

    Joe Rogan criticizes some of Donald Trump’s most devoted supporters as “rabid” and “f***ing nuts,” despite endorsing Trump in 2024. We dig into Rogan’s increasingly complicated political identity and his recent criticism of both Trump and Bernie Sanders.

    Trump’s approval rating falls to 32% in new Reuters/Ipsos polling, with some of the steepest declines coming from Republicans dissatisfied with the economy and cost of living.

    The FBI warned immigration agents about an alleged scheme involving fake “tradwife” dating profiles designed to lure and potentially dox law-enforcement officers. The catch: the FBI itself described the intelligence as not fully evaluated, and the memo did not identify any confirmed victims.

    More than 70 people are involved in a proposed lawsuit against Meta over claims that its smart glasses captured highly private footage and that some AI-related imagery may have been reviewed by human workers. We get into the much larger consent problem created by wearable cameras and AI.

    On The Horse’s Mouth, Red Leather and WesGhost join the show to talk about their new collaborative project REDGHOST, their debut EP WASTEDYOUTH, the strange reality of becoming famous while remaining anonymous, building music for outsiders, balancing accessibility with mystery, and taking the project
