Rick and Andrew are back after a few weeks off for the holidays and, well, because everyone needs a break.

Combined, inflation/prices & jobs and the economy are the top issues for nearly half of Americans. Immigration? Less than 10%.
Look. Even if Trump’s actions came from the purest, most democracy-loving, America-celebrating place, those actions stink. And that rancid odor is showing in the polling.
