Dr. Anthony Fauci is still spitting truths on where America really is when it comes to COVID-19. Minnesota’s elected officials are urging citizens with absentee ballots NOT to mail them because there’s a chance they won’t be counted. The Trump administration is rolling back federal protections on Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. For the first time ever, Taylor Swift has allowed her music to be used in a political ad, and Keke Palmer released her own PSA too. Ariana Grande released her new album at midnight. And the general consensus is that it’s her filthiest yet. Plus, BuzzFeed’s resident advice-giver Stephen LaConte is back to answer more of your DM’s.

Philadelphia police are reviewing body camera footage after officers shot and killed a mentally ill black man armed with a knife, while his parents want to know why a taser wasn’t used instead. Emily Ratajowski reveals she’s pregnant and will not be sharing the gender with anyone, thankyouverymuch. The “Saved By The Bell” reboot trailer is here, and we have some concerns.

Has the White House just given up on controlling Covid-19, and what exactly went down during President Trump’s dustup with Lesley Stahl on 60 minutes? Bette Midler says not only is “Hocus Pocus 2” actually happening, but that she and the other Sanderson sisters will be in it! Did you know Dame Judi Dench once gave mouth-to-mouth to a fish?

The Final Debate - A Mute Point

Fri, 23 Oct 2020 21:55:00 GMT

A 19-year-old busted with a car full of guns and explosives was seriously considering killing Joe Biden. Colorado’s wildfires are only getting worse and, shocker, it might be because of climate change. Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat sequel is out on Amazon Prime, and the film’s star had a special message for Rudy Giuliani. Matthew McConaughey turned down an obscene payday after he decided he was done with romcoms for good. Ariana Grande has us wondering what it would really be like if she were president. Also, her new song is good. And, BuzzFeed News’ DC Editor Sarah Mimms & Congressional Correspondent Paul McLeod talk about last night’s debate, and ponder whether Mitch McConnell’s large hand bruise is actually a plague sent by Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Rudy Giuliani’s push to embarrass Biden before the election includes...texts that show how much he loves his son. Dr. Anthony Fauci gave his honest opinion about the country’s COVID-19 response and the president was not a fan. Issa Rae absolutely killed it in her Saturday Night Live debut. A Zamb-, er, an ice resurfacer caught fire and what a metaphor for this year.

Trump and Biden’s dueling town halls were...pretty dang different, let’s put it that way. The White House has turned down California’s request for disaster aid despite last month’s fires being the most destructive in state history. Stevie Nicks said that if it she hadn’t had an abortion, there would be no “Fleetwood Mac.” And BuzzFeed’s own Stephen LaConte is with us to dole out even more of his world-class advice in a new “DM 911.”

The Department of Justice absolutely wanted kids taken away from their parents at the border in 2018, according to a draft inspector-general report. Sorry, no stimulus before the election, Trump says, to literally everyone’s dismay and confusion. A Texas county is actually charging Netflix with a felony for its promotion of the French movie “Cuties.” Our audio engineer Dan has a fitting tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen. And screenwriter and director Miranda July is with us to talk about her new movie “Kajillionaire” and her own previous life of (very petty) crime.

Meanwhile, the CDC finally says, yes, the coronavirus can spread in the air across more than six feet. So, again, great timing, Mr. President. Rihanna had to apologize for using a song that samples a sacred Islamic text in her recent fashion show. And BuzzFeed News science reporter Stephanie Lee is with us to break down what we do and don’t know now about Trump’s condition now that he’s busted out of the fanciest hospital in the country.

Megan Thee Stallion made a hell of a statement on “SNL” this weekend. There’s women working on all the cool nerd stuff you love, and in her new Twitch streaming show “WomenR,” Felicia Day is showing them off.

The President Is Sick

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 21:40:41 GMT

President Donald Trump, after months of downplaying the threat, has COVID-19. It’s a development that upends what was already set to be a chaotic final sprint to Election Day. We also have new audio of Melania Trump all but saying “fuck Christmas.” Thankfully, this year’s “Savage x Fenty” show is here for us, so all blessings to Rihanna. And BuzzFeed’s Stephen LaConte delivers some much needed advice in a new edition of “DM 911” — this time featuring post-pandemic wedding guest lists, a partner’s unfunny TikToks, and some blatant swaggerjacking.

An Epidemic of Gentrification

Millions of Americans are in danger of having their utilities shut off due to the economic recession. Chrissy Teigen shared her grief on Instagram and got a lot of love and sympathy in return. And with a wave of evictions still looming, culture writer Kovie Biakolo is looking ahead to what it could mean for the gentrification already encroaching on black and brown neighborhoods.

So That Was Some Debate, Huh

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 21:19:14 GMT

The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was, to directly quote a CNN reporter, “a shitshow.” And that’s how President Trump apparently wanted it. Oh, also he refused to condemn white supremacists directly. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans had players test positive for COVID-19 and Disney is laying off 28,000 park and cruise employees. So it was a bit of a relief to flash back to the awkward, amazing years of being a millennial teen with the Daily Beast’s Kevin Fallon, as we chat about the new season of Hulu’s hit show “Pen15.”

Hey! Following The Money!

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 21:48:59 GMT

President Trump only paid $750 in income taxes in 2016 and 2017, according to the New York Times. (Yes, that is $750, not $750 million or even $750 thousand.) Judge Amy Coney Barrett is Trump’s third pick for the Supreme Court and the Senate is set to hit the pedal to the floor to confirm her. (You can read all about her recent rulings here.) Mariah Carey was secretly doing vocals for an alt-rock band in the 1990s and we’re kinda shook. And we’re joined by BuzzFeed News’s Anthony Cormier and Azeen Ghoryashi to talk about the “Suspicious Activity” podcast and the way banks are letting illicit funds flow through their systems.

Immigrant women in ICE detention say a doctor performed gynecological procedures on them without their consent. Lizzo is actually pretty done with the “body positivity” movement and we can’t really blame her.

This Isn’t About Jeffrey Epstein

Protests broke out across the country, along with waves of sadness and exhaustion, with the news that nobody would be charged for Breonna Taylor’s death. Former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestants would like the fans to please, if they could, be less racist, that’d be great. We believe that everyday should be Bi Visibility Day, and so we bring to you our Salute to Bisexuals. And there’s a lot of lurid things about the Jeffrey Epstein abuse scandal — enough so that his actual victims are often forgotten. Tara Palmeri, host of the podcast Broken: Seeking Justice, joined us to talk about her attempt to change that.

Remembering RBG

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 23:00:45 GMT

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing was a major loss and a political earthquake. Senate Republicans seemed to have changed their mind since 2016 and think a new Supreme Court justice should be seated ASAP. Meanwhile, “Schitt’s Creek” swept the Emmys’ comedy categories, proving that Moira’s favorite season — (“awards”) — is the correct answer. BuzzFeed News’ Zoe Tillman gives us the rundown of Ginsburg’s legacy and how her loss may affect pending SCOTUS cases. And we’ve got a preview of tomorrow’s interview with former Housing Secretary Julian Castro — he gives us his thoughts on RBG’s passing and what Democrats should do about the seat she left open.

Madonna is going to be co-writing and directing her own biopic. Cardi B and Offset are donezo after three years of marriage.

“The Office” And The Gym In One Place

Our summer flashbacks roll on with today’s look back at two more classic interviews. First up, we talked to Brian Baumgartner — aka Kevin from “The Office” — when his podcast “An Oral History of the Office” first premiered. (Plus, we got to ask him about That Chili Scene.) Then, we take a trip back to June, when we spoke with two former CrossFit gym owners about the infamous Zoom call that led to the company’s CEO stepping down.
