Thursday, May 8th, 2025 Today, Republican Jefferson Griffin has conceded the North Carolina Supreme Court race to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs; a second US Navy jet has been lost at sea under the watchful eye of Pete Kegstand; the Trump administration has ordered the intelligence community to amp up spying on Greenland; Salt Lake City and Boise have adopted official pride flags in response to state laws banning them; a US appeals court allows Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk to be transferred to Vermont to challenge her immigration detention; lawyers have asked for a restraining order to stop the removal of migrants to Libya; the Abrego Garcia case is delayed again - this time because Trump is invoking privilege over discovery; a woman says a rent a cop at a hotel in Boston confronted her in the bathroom and demanded she prove her gender; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
