We start with some clueless college parents and then discuss new student loan limits, asking whether students, families, and ultimately colleges are finally going to have to take a more realistic look at the cost of higher education. We also take a moment to remember country music icon Dolly Parton following news of her passing and discuss the impact she had on music, entertainment, and American culture. Then we turn to late-night television as Jelly Roll steps in to host Jimmy Kimmel Live! — and how much we don't care about artists' political opinions. Finally, we head back to Texas politics for the latest in the Ken Paxton vs. James Talarico Senate race. We break down the candidates, the growing national attention on the race, and what could make this one of the most interesting political battles in Texas. We discuss a little 2028 look ahead and make a bold prediction.
