“Gov Gavin Newsom To Atlanta Audience: “I’m Like You, I’m A 960 SAT guy”
Gavin Newsom is facing major backlash while out promoting his new book where he discusses his dyslexia. Newsom told an Atlanta audience that he was like them, and no better than them because he was a “960 SAT guy…. You’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.” Several people have strong reactions to Newsom’s comments, including Nicki Minaj, who said his way of bonding with black people “is to tell them how stupid he is & he can’t read.””

The BBC is apologizing after a racial slur was shouted during the BAFTAs last night in London. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo (both Oscar nominees for "Sinners") were presenting the first award of the night when the n-word could be heard shouted out in the theater. The show host later apologized to the audience and blamed the outburst on a man's Tourette Syndrome. But that didn't stop an intense and heated debate online; many suggesting there's no way this was a coincidence. Whatever you do, please listen to the end of this episode where Amy and T. J. apply context and explain "coprolalia," a term you might not be familiar with but might explain why the incident might not have anything to do with racism.

After announcing that TSA PreCheck would be suspended because of the government shutdown, the Department of Homeland Security -- a short time ago -- reversed course, and now says TSA PreCheck will remain open. The reversal comes after a swift outcry that the administration was using travelers as political pawns.
