It was a warmer than usual day for Santa Barbara’s half marathon over the weekend, but that doesn’t explain why 30 runners received medical treatment, 27 of them rushed to the emergency room with two ending up in the ICU. There are serious questions surrounding the mass mystery illness, where several runners fainted, lost consciousness or described feeling foggy with no memory of running portions of the race. Santa Barbara police are asking for the public’s help, even setting up a tip line for answers after unverified rumors on social media suggested a water station along the course may have been spiked. While there is no proof of any type of contamination, there is a search underway to figure out what went so wrong for more than two dozen runners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s beyond just a coincidence, it’s now a glaring trend: President Trump continues to fire every high profile woman in his orbit.

Before that, it was DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Greece Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Actor, comedian and YouTuber Russel Brand has been sentenced to 10 and a half years behind bars in a London courtroom today. Four women submitted victim impact statements to the court after last week’s convictions. One victim chose to appear in person, behind a curtain, to personally read the impact Brand’s assault had on her over the years.
