Sam and Ivan discuss the Maine Senate race as their big newsy topic this week. They also hit on the Virginia Giuffre book, Trump's attempt to pay himself, and of course the destruction of the White House East Wing on the news side of things. Plus a coworker retiring, some movies, and the CC online presence gets some upgrades!
