Description

In the debut episode of The Week’s Worth, Jazzenai breaks down the three biggest stories in news, culture, and sports this week:

Harvard’s international student ban — Why the Trump administration’s move to revoke Harvard’s SEVP certification is more than a bureaucratic headline.
Young Thug vs. Kid Cudi — A deleted tweet sparks debate over snitching, loyalty, and trauma testimony amid Diddy’s federal trial.
Pacers stun the Knicks in Game 1 — A playoff comeback for the ages. We break down what Tyrese Haliburton’s game-winner reveals about team identity and pressure.

Plus: quick hits on the Summer House finale, penguin poop helping climate change, and a surprise legal twist in Taylor Swift’s world.
