It's not strictly political, but it is "current events," LOL. V&M has long been my favorite. When we moved to DU.3, that (and LBN) were the two forums I volunteered to host. I think it deserves more attention than it normally gets and it's invaluable for DUers who aren't around at certain hours or don't have TV. And I haven't seen Seth's special - I generally post The Daily Show, Colbert and Seth - anything political - and TexasTowelie took over Jimmy Kimmel and any other late night political guests - so I just try to keep up with them, since those are the ones I regularly watch. They help keep me sane after a day of terrible Trump news.
