The Democratic National Committee is facing scrutiny over the release of its autopsy report on the 2024 presidential election. The biggest criticisms revolve around what is missing from the report, such as concrete sourcing or any mentions of Gaza, or President Joe Biden’s age when initially running for re-election. Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg joins “The Weekend: Primetime” to go over what he describes as “incompetence on top of incompetence,” and is joining calls for DNC Chair Ken Martin to resign.

A United Airlines Boeing 767 arriving from Venice, Italy just struck a bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike while landing at Newark Liberty Airport. 231 passengers were on board. Nobody was seriously hurt. And somehow this is the 6th time something like this has happened in just over a month.

That is not normal. And I think we need to talk about it.

In this video I walk you through all 6 aviation incidents that have rocked the US airline industry since early April 2026. We are talking about a close call at LAX where a Frontier jet nearly hit two trucks on the taxiway, a UPS Boeing 767 that narrowly avoided a collision at Muhammad Ali International in Louisville, a near miss between two planes at JFK that had cockpit audio released publicly, and now this, a passenger plane physically making contact with a vehicle on a New Jersey highway while 231 people were sitting in their seats.

The dashcam footage caught the whole thing on camera. The plane came in low on Runway 29, a shorter runway that literally passes over the I-95 corridor, struck the bakery truck, clipped a light pole sitting just 13 feet off the ground, and still managed to land. The crew has been removed from service. The NTSB is investigating human error, weather, and aircraft performance.

Six incidents. Just over a month. This is not a streak of bad luck. This is a pattern. And when patterns like this show up in aviation safety, history tells us what usually comes next.

Is it still safe to fly US airlines right now? That is the question I want you thinking about after watching this video.

Drop your take in the comments. If you are in the US, are you flying domestically in the US this summer or are you thinking twice?

Cannabis lawyer Tom Howard explains that the DOJ’s final rule moving medical cannabis to Schedule III did not legalize marijuana, but it created new DEA registrations and an online portal that could make state-licensed medical marijuana dispensaries more federally compliant than ever, while leaving adult-use sales in Schedule I contradictions.

He walks through the DEA application’s tabs, $794 fee per application, supplier and employee access disclosures, drug codes, and liability questions—highlighting a key yes/no question that could force operators to admit past controlled-substance activity without DEA registration, raising Fifth Amendment and “trap” concerns. The portal is open for a limited window (noted as closing June 26) with expedited review, yet legal challenges and possible injunctions are expected. Howard urges operators to weigh filing now versus waiting, given potential impacts on banking, taxes, insurance, and compliance.

Democrat Mike Jones won a Virginia Senate special election with 68% of the vote, defeating Republican John Thomas and preserving Democrats' narrow majority, while Democrat Charlie Schmidt won Jones' former House seat with 76%, and Democrat Iris Sanchez captured a Connecticut House seat by nearly 2-to-1.

The victories continue a year-long trend of Democratic overperformance, with the party exceeding 2024 presidential margins by an average of 15 points in special elections throughout 2025, according to the Democratic National Committee.

In South Carolina's House District 98, Republican Greg Ford narrowly held off Democrat Sonja Ogletree Satani by just 21 votes-triggering an automatic recount-in a district Republicans won by 14 points in 2024 against the same opponent.

Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue in a cash and stock deal worth about $48.7 billion, creating a massive consumer health goods company.

Shareholders of Kimberly-Clark will own about 54% of the combined company. Kenvue shareholders will own about 46% in what is one of the largest corporate takeovers this year. The deal must still be approved by the shareholders of both companies.

The combined company will have a huge stable of household brands under one roof, putting Kenvue’s Listerine mouthwash and Band-Aid side-by-side with Kimberly-Clark’s Cottonelle toilet paper, Huggies and Kleenex tissues.
