We’re wrapping up 2024 with a bang!
We take a hard look at Michigan’s lame duck session—spoiler alert: it’s living up to its name.
We also do our annual Year-End Superlatives, where we crown the heroes, villains, and biggest clowns of the year. No one is safe.
And of course, we’re making our bold (and maybe a little petty) wishes for 2025.

Oh, and it’s all of our birthdays this month, so we’re celebrating with sharp takes and unfiltered commentary.
