Jensen Huang Steps Down as Affairs Pile Up & Scott Colom Paints Mississippi Blue | Heather Cox Richardson

Desi Lydic dives into Mississippi turning blue for Senator-elect Scott Colom, how protein and blocked federal judge appointments took his opponent Cindy Hyde-Smith down, Trump’s accidental role in advancing racial equality, and Jensen Huang’s mistress getting out-mistressed by two new reveals. Under Trump, the EPA has been shirking its responsibilities and rolling back regulations. But one group of Cape Cod women is stepping up. Meet the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage, aka OLAUG. By diving into ponds and hauling out crap (from cinder blocks to tires to toilets), these iron old maidens are pouring their hearts into doing what the EPA won't. Grace Kuhlenschmidt spent a day with OLAUG, whose stereotype-defying exploits inspired her to suit up and help save the planet one pond at a time -- if she can just pass the tryout. Historian and “Democracy Awakening” author Heather Cox Richardson chats with Desi about her work on the political state of America and her most-read Substack politics newsletter, “Letters from an American.” The two discuss how the historic 2026 midterms compare to past eras of American political change, how the Democrats’ road to progress requires holding corrupt leaders accountable, and historical figures (dead or alive) Richardson would invite to a hypothetical dinner party with her and Donald Trump. --To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
