Watch

Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj released two new episodes of Volume 6 this week. "We Cannot Stay Silent about George Floyd" and "Why the News Industry Is Dying" are definitely worth checking out. We encourage you watch with your friends or family to open up a conversation! Plus, no one can frown while watching Minhaj crack jokes.

It's National Corn on the Cob Day! Such a summer staple snack cannot go unacknowledged. 

Jamie's Sweet and Easy Corn on the Cob

  • 6 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
  • 2 tbsp. white sugar
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice

Directions

Fill a large pot about 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and lemon juice,

dissolving the sugar. Gently place ears of corn into the boiling water, cover the pot, turn off the heat and let the corn cook in the hot water until tender, about 10 minutes.
