UNBIASED University is officially in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she's breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we continue the UNBIASED University series by breaking down the First, Second, and Third Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. What protections do these amendments actually guarantee, and how have their meanings evolved over time? We explain the freedoms of speech, religion, the press, assembly, and petition, the right to keep and bear arms, and the historical context behind the rarely discussed Third Amendment's protection against the forced quartering of soldiers. Along the way, we explore the historical origins of these rights, the major Supreme Court decisions that have shaped how they are interpreted today, and the ongoing legal and political debates surrounding them. Whether you're looking to better understand your constitutional freedoms or simply want a clear, nonpartisan refresher on the Bill of Rights, this episode provides a straightforward guide to the first three amendments.

This Day in Legal History: Hiram Rhodes RevelsOn February 25, 1870, Hiram Rhodes Revels was sworn in as the first African American to serve in the United States Senate. His election came during the turbulent Reconstruction era that followed the Civil War, a period defined by constitutional change and political uncertainty. Revels represented Mississippi, a former Confederate state that had only recently been readmitted to the Union. In a moment heavy with symbolism, he filled the Senate seat once held by Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy. The contrast between the two men reflected the profound transformation taking place in American law and government.Revels' swearing-in came after the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which abolished slavery, guaranteed equal protection, and protected voting rights regardless of race. His presence in the Senate gave tangible meaning to those constitutional promises. Yet his path to office was not without challenge. Some senators argued that he did not meet the Constitution's nine-year citizenship requirement, claiming that the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford had denied Black Americans citizenship before the Civil War. Supporters countered that the 14th Amendment had settled the question of citizenship, making Revels eligible to serve. The Senate ultimately voted to seat him, affirming the legal force of the Reconstruction Amendments.Revels served only a brief term, but his impact was lasting. His election marked a rare window in American history when federal power was actively used to expand civil and political rights in the South. Although Reconstruction would eventually give way to decades of segregation and disenfranchisement, February 25, 1870 stands as a reminder of a constitutional moment when the nation attempted to redefine equality under the law.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released its first major update to its enforcement manual in eight years, outlining a new vision focused on fairness and transparency. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins described the revisions as overdue and said the agency will now review the manual annually. The updated 115-page guide provides clearer direction on how enforcement investigations will proceed and what options are available to individuals and companies under scrutiny.One key change involves the Wells process, which notifies potential defendants that SEC staff intend to recommend enforcement action. Under the revised policy, recipients of a Wells notice will have four weeks to submit a written response. After filing that response, they may request a meeting with senior leadership in the Division of Enforcement to argue against pursuing charges or to present their perspective on the case.Atkins has previously indicated that reforming the Wells process is a priority, emphasizing the need for accurate and carefully considered enforcement actions. Enforcement Division Director Meg Ryan also noted that a persuasive Wells response can influence whether commissioners ultimately approve a case. The manual further reinstates the ability of settling parties to request waivers from automatic industry bars that can follow enforcement actions. In addition, it introduces clearer guidance on how cooperation may reduce penalties and explains how the SEC may coordinate with criminal authorities. Overall, the agency says the revisions aim to clarify how it enforces federal securities laws and strengthen public confidence in the process.SEC Lays Out New Enforcement Vision In Revised Guidelines - Law360Paramount Skydance has submitted a revised proposal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, as a bidding battle with Netflix continues. The new offer follows the expiration of a seven-day waiver period under WBD's existing merger agreement with Netflix. For Paramount's deal to move forward, WBD's board must first determine that the revised bid qualifies as a “Company Superior Proposal” under the Netflix agreement. After that, a four-business-day match period would need to pass, the Netflix agreement would have to be terminated, and a new definitive agreement would need to be signed with Paramount.While the board reviews the updated proposal, Paramount said it will keep its tender offer in place and continue urging shareholders to reject what it calls the less favorable Netflix transaction. The rivalry between the bidders has spilled into public statements, with Paramount criticizing the structure of the Netflix deal as potentially reducing shareholder value. Netflix has pushed back, accusing Paramount of mischaracterizing regulatory issues and focusing on appearances rather than results.WBD confirmed it received the revised bid but reiterated that its current merger agreement with Netflix remains active and that the board still recommends the Netflix deal. Specific terms of Paramount's updated offer were not disclosed, though it recently added financial safeguards, regulatory commitments, and an offer to cover the breakup fee if WBD exits the Netflix agreement. Netflix's agreement to acquire WBD's studio and streaming operations is valued at about $82.7 billion, while Paramount's competing proposal to purchase the entire company is valued at roughly $108.4 billion.Paramount Revises WBD Offer As Netflix Bid War Goes On - Law360​​A federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from freely searching devices seized from a Washington Post reporter during a national security leak investigation. The FBI searched reporter Hannah Natanson's home in January and took electronic devices as part of a probe into the alleged disclosure of government secrets. Natanson, who has reported on President Donald Trump's efforts to dismiss large numbers of federal employees, has not been charged with any crime.U.S. Magistrate Judge William Porter ruled that the government may not conduct an unrestricted review of the seized materials. Instead, he said the court will oversee the examination of the devices to ensure that journalistic protections are respected while still allowing investigators to seek relevant evidence. Porter rejected the Justice Department's request to let prosecutors carry out a broad, unsupervised search.Justice Department attorneys had argued that reviewing the materials was essential to a criminal investigation involving national security concerns. They proposed using a separate FBI “filter team” to screen the data and remove irrelevant content before investigators accessed it. The judge's order reflects an effort to balance press freedom with the government's authority to pursue evidence in sensitive cases.US judge blocks search of Washington Post reporter's devices | ReutersA California woman is set to testify in Los Angeles that her early use of Instagram and YouTube harmed her mental health, in a closely watched trial against Meta and Google. The plaintiff, identified as Kaley G.M., says she began using YouTube at age six and Instagram at nine, and later struggled with depression and body dysmorphia. Her attorneys argue the companies deliberately designed their platforms to attract and retain young users despite being aware of potential psychological risks.The case is part of a broader international push to address the impact of social media on children, with some countries already imposing restrictions. Earlier phases of the trial focused on what the companies knew about the effects of their platforms on young users and how they targeted that demographic. Now the proceedings are turning to Kaley's personal experiences and whether the platforms substantially contributed to her mental health challenges.To succeed, her legal team must prove that the design or operation of the platforms was a significant factor in causing or worsening her condition. Meta has pointed to her history of family instability and alleged abuse as alternative explanations for her struggles. Her lawyer, however, referenced internal company research suggesting that teens facing difficult circumstances were more likely to use Instagram compulsively.The lawsuit also challenges features such as autoplay videos, endless scrolling, “like” buttons, and beauty filters, which the plaintiff claims encouraged prolonged use and distorted self-image. YouTube's defense argues that she did not fully use available safety tools and presented data indicating her recent average viewing time was relatively limited.Woman suing Meta, YouTube over social media addiction takes the stand at trial | Reuters This is a public episode.

American progressives at the turn of the 20th century saw major flaws in the United States Constitution and worked to correct them through the process of amendments. Each one was the subject of debate and controversy, and all four made measurable changes to American society (though one can debate the merits of some). Join us for this survey of the four progressive amendments--as well as a funny story from Jon's classroom--and tune in next week for our discussion about how these amendments shaped the future course of American history.

We'll be starting our Bill of Rights Breakdown with Amendments 1 and 2.

Attorney Jaaye Person-Lynn is a graduate of Hampton University and Howard Law School. He is a criminal and civil rights attorney with his own firm. On this podcast we focus on the 2nd and 4th Amendments in the age of the MAGA Trump Gestaspo ICE army and the SCOTUS Extreme Court.

This Day in Legal History: Fifteenth Amendment RatifiedOn February 3, 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, marking a pivotal moment in American legal history. The amendment prohibits federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Its ratification was the third and final of the Reconstruction Amendments, following the Thirteenth (abolishing slavery) and Fourteenth (guaranteeing equal protection and due process) Amendments.The Fifteenth Amendment was a direct response to the systemic disenfranchisement of Black Americans in the post-Civil War South. While it granted a legal foundation for Black men's suffrage, implementation faced immediate resistance. Southern states adopted literacy tests, poll taxes, grandfather clauses, and other discriminatory practices to circumvent the amendment and suppress Black political participation.Despite its passage, the amendment's guarantees would not be meaningfully enforced until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, nearly a century later. The legal battles stemming from the Fifteenth Amendment's promise have shaped much of the country's voting rights jurisprudence and continue to echo in current debates about voter ID laws, redistricting, and access to the ballot box.A U.S. federal judge is set to hear arguments on February 5 regarding Danish company Ørsted's request to lift the Trump administration's pause on its offshore Sunrise Wind project near Long Island, New York. Ørsted has asked for a preliminary injunction, warning that without a decision by February 6, it could lose access to a specialized vessel crucial for cable installation, putting the project's timeline, financial viability, and even survival at risk. The Interior Department halted five offshore wind projects in December, citing newly obtained, classified national security concerns, particularly radar interference. Ørsted's filing states the company has already committed over $7 billion to the Sunrise Wind project, which is about 45% complete and projected to power nearly 600,000 homes by October.Judge Royce Lamberth, who previously granted an injunction for Ørsted's Revolution Wind project off Rhode Island, will preside over the case. Four similar wind developments have already won legal relief allowing construction to continue during litigation. The ongoing delays reflect broader tensions between offshore wind expansion and the Trump administration's skepticism of the technology, as well as evolving security concerns.US judge to consider last project challenge to Trump offshore wind pause | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice has launched a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Pretti was killed during an enforcement operation that has since drawn national outrage and led the Trump administration to alter its tactics in Minnesota. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the FBI is conducting a preliminary review, with potential involvement from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, though he emphasized that the investigation is still in early stages.Video footage verified by Reuters shows Pretti being tackled by agents while holding a phone, and an officer retrieving a firearm from his body just before shots were fired. The Justice Department said a formal criminal civil rights probe would only proceed if the evidence supports it. Local officials have voiced distrust of the federal response and are conducting their own inquiry. Pretti is the second protester killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, and his family, represented by attorney Steve Schleicher, is demanding a transparent and impartial investigation. So far, no similar federal probe has been opened into the earlier shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer.US Justice Dept opens civil rights probe into Alex Pretti shooting, official says | ReutersIn this week's column for Bloomberg Tax, I argue that Volkswagen's decision to cancel plans for a new Audi plant in the U.S. highlights the limitations of using tariffs as a cornerstone of industrial policy. The assumption underpinning tariff-heavy strategies is that the U.S. market is irresistible enough to force global firms to onshore production, even as tariffs erode that market's size and appeal. Tariffs have come to function like sin taxes—meant to discourage consumption—but unlike cigarettes or soda, the goal with trade policy is not abstention, but investment and economic engagement. Instead, firms like VW are responding by pulling back, as higher costs reduce consumer demand and make U.S. market share too small to justify large-scale investment. The belief that global manufacturers can swiftly build U.S. capacity ignores the time, cost, and uncertainty involved, especially in capital-intensive sectors. VW's exit is rational: it doesn't make financial sense to break ground on a multibillion-dollar plant when the target market is shrinking and returns are questionable.Policymakers need to move beyond blunt tools and design trade incentives based on real market data, such as U.S. demand and potential return on investment. That means requiring ROI modeling before tariffs are imposed, and asking whether the targeted company has enough exposure to be moved by them. If the answer is no, we risk losing access to competitive products, jobs, and consumer choice—not gaining them. Trade policy should be surgical, not punitive, and should acknowledge that capital follows incentives, not threats.In a piece I wrote for Forbes late last week, and with apologies for a double dose of me today: I examined California's long-running flirtation with a mileage-based tax to replace its declining gas tax revenues—and how what began as a test program has quietly become a form of policymaking through delay. In 2014, the state authorized a pilot program to study a “road usage charge,” a per-mile fee designed to keep transportation funding solvent as gas consumption drops. That pilot wrapped up in 2017 and showed the system works: vehicles can be tracked, billing can be simulated, and the technical challenges are manageable. But nearly a decade later, no mileage tax has been implemented, and new legislation—AB 1421—would extend the advisory committee until 2035.The real issue now isn't feasibility but political avoidance. The state has drifted into a passive strategy where permanent pilots and advisory boards take the place of real decisions. This kind of inertia has a name: policy drift—when the law remains formally unchanged, but materially obsolete. California's ongoing study phase has become a way to defer a difficult conversation about revenue and equity in a post-gasoline economy. The technology exists, and other states have already tested it. What's missing is political will and public engagement.AB 1421 doesn't collect revenue or educate voters—it simply extends the status quo under the guise of preparation. From the outside, it looks like planning. In practice, it's a weather balloon designed to measure political tolerance, not policy readiness.California Mileage Tax—Pilot Programs And Permanent Policy Inertia This is a public episode.

Louisiana's congressional districts, which it redrew following the 2020 census, currently sit in a state of legal uncertainty.The map initially only had one majority-black district. However, following a 2022 case called Robinson v. Ardoin (later Laundry), which held that it violated section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Louisiana re-drew the map to include two majority-black congressional districts.In January 2024, a different set of plaintiffs sued alleging the new map violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The case rose to SCOTUS and was heard as a part of the OT24 term. The issues before the Court included (1) Whether the majority of the three-judge district court in this case erred in finding that race predominated in the Louisiana legislature’s enactment of S.B. 8; (2) whether the majority erred in finding that S.B. 8 fails strict scrutiny; (3) whether the majority erred in subjecting S.B. 8 to the preconditions specified in Thornburg v. Gingles; and (4) whether this action is non-justiciable.On June 27, 2025, rather than issue a decision on the case, the Supreme Court issued an order restoring the case to the OT 25 calendar for reargument. This time, the Court has explicitly granted the question of "Whether Louisiana’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution." Oral argument (round 2) is set for October 15, 2025.Join us for a post-oral argument Courthouse Steps program where we will break down and analyze how this oral argument went before the Court.Featuring:Prof. Michael R.

Through amended SNAP waivers, which are special federal approvals that allow states to modify standard program rules, states may update which foods are eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits. Beginning in 2026, these changes enable participating states to limit certain non-nutritious items, such as soda, candy, and energy drinks, while encouraging healthier food choices, with the goal of improving long-term health outcomes and providing states with greater flexibility in administering the program.

The U.S. House of Representatives considers the veto message on H.R.504, the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act. The bill adds an area known as Osceola Camp to the reservation of the Miccosukee Tribe. The land is located within the Everglades National Park in Florida. President Donald Trump vetoed H.R.504 on December 30, 2025. He accused the tribe of obstructing his immigration agenda, disputed the tribe's connection to the land and balked at the federal government's trust responsibilities to Indian nations, inaccurately characterizing them as "special treatment." Following consideration on January 8, 2026, the House was unable to override the veto. The roll call was 236 to 188, falling short of the two-thirds majority of the House members.

If there's one thing every bulk fuel facility has in common, it's this: nothing stays the same for long - and your plans and permits shouldn't either. In this episode, Shannon and Haley dig into one of the most misunderstood (and most frequently violated) compliance requirements out there: plan amendments. Why are amendment rules so confusing? Because every regulation - SPCC, FRP, MSGP, ODPCP - plays by different rules, deadlines, timelines, and definitions. And yet inspectors expect facilities to keep everything updated accurately, on time, and without missing a beat. Shannon breaks down: Why plan amendments are one of the most common compliance findings What actually qualifies as an amendment The difference between technical vs. non-technical and major vs. minor What triggers an update for SPCCs, FRPs, MSGP SWPPPs, and ODPCPs How deadlines really work (and why they often cause headaches) If you've ever wondered whether a change at your facility requires an update - or if you've discovered you are months behind - this episode will help you make sense of it all. And if it still feels like “clear as mud,” don't worry: Integrity maintains hundreds of plans a year, and we're here to help. Support the showintro/outro created with GarageBand

In 2026 a return to our core principles as a nation will be the paramount goal. Constraints on power are reasserting themselves. System memory returns. Back to the founder's concepts. Federalism by friction. Borders will be redrawn not in ink, but in practice. Somali's were targeted for specific reasons. We'll hear about currency zones and sovereignty blocks. Europe is changing fast too. UK won't dissolve but unity is weakening. The world sees old rules no longer apply. Conformity is unenforceable. The eighth and ninth Amendments will be key. Power will flow back to the states. This is basic political physics and not rebellion. The economic hardships are real. Traditional structure will win and systems will stop pretending. America 250 matters. Trump's statements on the new year give hints. He won't be around forever. Since 2013, the power has returned to the people. Ohio minimized it's own state's constitution and invited federal overreach. That's important. Empires last about 250 years. Traditional colonialism is returning. China security buildup happening in the Sahel. There's South America and aliens too. Hardships are lessons. So much reckoning is coming. Above it all, President Trump is slowly and carefully returning power to the people.

This holiday season, we wish you peace, joy, and a new Supreme Court. In Part 1 of our discussion, we pulled the mask off originalism and called it what it is: the Southern Strategy of our courts, a legal laundering scheme for white terrorism. In Part 2, we discuss how to take our courts back from GOP extremism to protect our Constitution–before it rips apart our country. To hear this week's full bonus show, subscribe at Patreon.com/Gaslit and support our independent journalism.  According to legal scholar Madiba Dennie, author of The Originalism Trap: How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take It Back, the answer is finally taking the Constitution at its word. The Constitution was built on principles from Enlightenment ideas that fueled the American Revolution: human equality, self-government, and the radical notion that legitimacy flows from the people, not from tradition or bloodlines. We fought a Civil War to finally live up to those ideals. In the Reconstruction era, through the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments , the Constitution was fundamentally transformed into a document meant to support a multiracial democracy, one that promised equal protection, due process, and citizenship not tied to race. Taking back the Supreme Court means delegitimizing originalism and replacing it with a constitutional vision aligned with democracy itself. A Constitution that works for everyone. A Court that understands its job is not to drag us backward, but to help the country finally live up to its founding promises.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Chang to break down organic amendments that every gardener should have in their toolkit. We discuss what these inputs do, how to use them effectively, and why they play such a big role in building healthy soil and strong plants. Mike also shares important insights on heavy metals, OMRI certification, and what growers should be paying attention to when choosing products.Nature DisturbedMother Nature is one weird ladyListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

KrisAnne Hall (KrisAnneHall.com) is back with us after many months and tonight I want to discuss her thoughts on what obstacles remain in front of Donald Trump in his pursuit to "End the Income Tax". We are going to talk about who benefits the most, and which entities are going to be most ready to go to war to keep things as they are. Then I have a list of rejected Constitutional amendments that are both interesting and outrageous, so we'll go one by one, and perhaps even propose our own. In the second half we're going to five into a virtual ball pit of reels and calls from the audience and give away silver, and all that sheeeeit.

The New York Emerging Technologies Amendments to the New York Uniform Commercial Code are the result of a multi-year collaboration between the City Bar (led by the City Bar Presidential Task Force on Artificial Intelligence) and the Uniform Law Commission, including the New York State delegation to the Uniform Law Commission. This significant legislation modernizes the New York UCC to address advances in technology and digital assets, ensuring that New York remains the preferred jurisdiction for innovations in commerce and finance. In this episode, Task Force Co-Chair Jerome Walker sits down with City Bar stakeholders – including the City Bar Director of Advocacy (Elizabeth Kocienda) and two Uniform Law Commissioners from the Task Force (Ed Smith and Neil Cohen) – to talk about the years-long advocacy effort behind the passage of this bill, and to unpack the nuts and bolts of the bill's changes to New York's Uniform Commercial Code. Together we're celebrating a victory that preserves New York's leadership in the world of commerce and finance.

Host Linn Bumpers explains the EPA's proposed amendments to the 2024 PFAS reporting rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

With public comments open until December 29, 2025, this update provides timely insights for businesses navigating evolving environmental regulations.

At the dawn of the 20th century, American finance looked modern—telegraphs, syndicates, Wall Street empires—but it had no brakes. In this episode of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch follows the chain reaction from the Panic of 1907 to the creation of the Federal Reserve, revealing how crises, central banking, and policy choices concentrated power at the top and quietly reshaped who gets to own a home in America.We move from J.P. Morgan locking bankers in his library to stabilize markets, to the secret Jekyll Island meeting that birthed the blueprint for the Fed, to a global financial order built on austerity, gold, and central banks. Lynch unpacks how this shift—from robber barons to central bankers—centralized control over money and credit, setting the stage for a financial system that could either stabilize the economy or supercharge inequality.In parallel, the episode traces a second, brutal story: the clash between slave labor and wage labor, the Civil War, broken promises like Special Field Orders No. 15, Reconstruction, the 13th and 14th Amendments, and the massive land giveaways of the Homestead and Railway Acts that seeded a two-track wealth system. That system was later hardened by Black Codes, Jim Crow, and the rise of the National Association of Realtors, whose restrictive covenants and ethics codes turned racism and class exclusion into standard practice.As Lynch connects the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, Hoover's homeownership gospel, and New Deal housing programs—HOLC, FHA, Fannie Mae—listeners see how federal support for mortgages expanded opportunity for some while redlining, racial covenants, and “good neighborhood” ideology locked others out. Housing was transformed into a mass wealth engine built on division.This episode is a deep dive into how central banking, war finance, slavery, segregation, real estate professionalization, and federal housing policy fused into a system where housing isn't just shelter or asset—it's a sorting mechanism. If you want to understand why today's housing market feels rigged, this chapter shows how the rig was built.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.

(Nov 26, 2025) For some North Country communities, local food options are few and far between. This Thanksgiving, special food boxes connect families in the Indian Lake school district with regional farms; Gov. Hochul approved amendments to the Adirondack State Land Master Plan, which notably did not include a special provision for electric mobility devices in wilderness areas, and we continue the story of how the hermit thrush got its song with Mohawk artist and storyteller Dave Fadden. 

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 25, 2025. 0:30 Anthropic—the company behind Claude, one of the most advanced AI systems on the planet—just dropped a bombshell: a Chinese state-sponsored group hijacked a modified version of their tech and used it to launch what may be the first actual large-scale cyber-espionage campaign run almost entirely by AI. We're breaking down how Anthropic eventually shut it down—but they had to tell our government, not the other way around. Meanwhile the CIA, NSA, FBI—agencies with budgets bigger than entire countries—were too busy chasing political vendettas to notice an AI-driven cyber breach unfolding under their noses. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has resigned from Congress. A federal Judge dismissed the indictments against both former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James. Texas' Redistricting Map has been reinstated by the US Supreme Court. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We take a look at the situation unfolding in Italy. The Italian Interior Ministry revealed that foreign nationals make up only 9% of Italy’s population… but nearly HALF of all sexual-violence arrests. The problem? Refusal to assimilate. 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the rising trend of the so-called “gray divorce”—why longtime couples in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s are suddenly calling it quits after decades together. From Oprah’s town hall to real-life stories of retirement shock, infidelity, complacency, and even the unexpected role of the little blue pill, the Mamas break down why so many marriages are unraveling late in life. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We unpack the situation in Chicago Public Schools where fewer than one-third of students can read at grade level, but district officials somehow found $14 million to blow on luxury trips, hotel suites, and feel-good “leadership retreats.” 26:00 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping City Journal piece that pulls back the curtain on repeat offenders and the revolving door justice system enabling them. We walk through the wild case of Sergio Highland — a convicted killer turned “prison reform activist” — who posed with a Soros-backed DA one day and was charged with murder again the next. We dig into why crime in America is driven by a small group of chronic offenders — and why locking up the worst of the worst isn’t harsh, it’s common sense. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a brand-new YouGov poll that shows Democrats got absolutely steamrolled in the latest government shutdown showdown. Only 8% of Americans think Democrats “won” the fight, a number so low it’s practically a political face-plant. Even Democrats themselves admit the GOP came out ahead. 35:30 Plus, the University of Notre Dame makes it's Catholic mission clear, and that's a Bright Spot. We dive into last week’s dust-up at the University of Notre Dame, after an official article outlined the school’s “refreshed values” — community, collaboration, excellence, innovation — but made no explicit mention of the university’s historic Catholic identity. The university clarified and re-emphasized its core purpose, updating the mission language to put its Catholic identity at the top: “Be the leading Catholic research university… be a force for good.” 40:30 We’re talking about the sanctity of life from beginning to natural end. And then we pivot to a jaw-dropping move out of Scotland, where lawmakers are opening the door to assisted suicide with virtually no safeguards. Amendments to protect young people, the disabled, those vulnerable to coercion, or even individuals battling temporary depression? All rejected. Just tossed aside, and we're saying, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about purpose.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA ballot can be as fragile as a night's sleep when terror rules the streets. We dig into the hard edge of Reconstruction and follow Ulysses S. Grant as he turns constitutional promises into enforceable rights, taking on the Ku Klux Klan with law, prosecutors, and troops. Guided by Fergus Bordewich's The Klan War, we trace how organized violence spread across the South, how courts and juries collapsed under intimidation, and how the federal government built a new playbook to defend Black suffrage and public order.We walk through the Enforcement Acts of 1870–71 and the Ku Klux Klan Act, the creation of the Department of Justice, and the use of federal power to prosecute conspiracies against civil rights. The picture is unflinching: lynchings, beatings, and threats aimed at the most capable Black leaders and their allies; rope and coffins left on lawns; revolvers by the door as families waited for the knock. Grant's response was equally clear—enforce the Amendments, protect the vote, and crush organized terror. By 1872, thousands were arrested and hundreds convicted, and the Klan's core networks were disrupted.Yet the victories faced headwinds. Economic anxiety, political fatigue, and the siren call of “local control” blunted momentum, even as Grant settled foreign disputes, reduced debt, and pushed early civil service reforms. We connect the dots from those choices to the present: the urgency of countering domestic extremism, the necessity of protecting voting rights, and the cost when political courage yields to partisan self-interest. This is a frank look at how a president, often underestimated, became the strongest defender of civil rights between Lincoln and Truman—and why that legacy still sets a standard.Key Points from the Episode:• the Klan's organized terror to suppress voting  • the collapse of local justice and jury nullification  • Grant's use of the Enforcement Acts and federal troops  • the creation of the Department of Justice and prosecutions  • measurable outcomes by 1872 and political backlash  • why courage and clear law still matter nowOther resources: Want to leave a review?

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson unpacks a significant federal court decision blocking the Trump administration from withholding or conditioning federal funds to UCLA in exchange for major campus policy changes. The discussion covers the court's reasoning under the Administrative Procedures Act, the First and 10th Amendments, and why the judge deemed the administration's actions coercive. Join us for a breakdown of this breaking legal news and its broader implications for university autonomy.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:Federal Funding Leverage Challenged: A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from freezing, terminating, or conditioning UC research funds—pointing out that the administration's approach may violate legal requirements, including the Administrative Procedures Act, the First Amendment, and the Tenth Amendment.Academic Freedom & Speech Protected: The court found that forcing changes to speech policies, DEI efforts, gender healthcare, protest rules, and admissions could unlawfully coerce universities and chill free speech, especially among public university faculty and students.States' Rights and Spending Clause Limits: The judge ruled that federal conditions on funding can't be so extreme they essentially take away states' ability to decide their own policies—a “gun to the head” tactic that threatens economic stability and state sovereignty.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

On November 15, New Orleans voters will go to the polls for the second time this fall. Earlier this week, we discussed the race for clerk of criminal court and the city council positions still at play. Today, we'll discuss the propositions and amendments voters will consider. For more, we're joined by Katie Jane Fernelius from Verite News.After Brian Kelly was fired as head football coach at LSU, word soon broke that Gov. Jeff Landry played a part in that decision. But this is hardly the first time a Louisiana governor got involved at LSU – more specifically, with its football team. LSU professor emeritus of mass communication Bob Mann is the author of Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU. In the book, Mann tells the story of former governor Huey Long's deep-rooted interest in LSU.One year ago, Mann joined us to discuss the book and how Huey Long's playbook of LSU involvement might influence Landry. First we give that conversation a second listen. Then, Mann joins us again to discuss his predictions and what he makes of the ousting of athletic director Scott Woodward. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

Today's Headlines: More election results are in, and Democrats are mostly keeping their momentum from Tuesday. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was re-elected, fending off a challenge from democratic socialist Ahmed Fatah. In Maine, voters approved a new red flag gun law and Colorado passed a statewide measure to fund free school lunches for all kids—because Colorado stays ahead of the curve. Meanwhile, California Republicans have already filed a federal lawsuit to block the new congressional map voters approved under Prop 50, claiming it violates the 14th and 15th Amendments. And in Maine, Democratic Rep. Jared Golden—one of the few Dems who could win a red district—announced he won't seek reelection, citing threats made against his family. The government shutdown officially hit day 37, breaking Trump's own previous record. The Transportation Department says it'll start cutting air traffic by 10% if the standoff doesn't end by Friday. Trump's still calling for Senate Republicans to scrap the filibuster to end it, but a bipartisan group is reportedly working on a short-term fix that would reopen the government and roll in some of the annual funding bills. Translation: they could've solved this if they wanted to. At the Supreme Court, justices heard three hours of arguments over whether Trump can unilaterally impose tariffs. Judging by their questions, they're not exactly buying it. And finally, investigators say the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that killed nine people began when the left wing caught fire and an engine fell off just after takeoff—sending debris and explosions half a mile downrange.
