U.S. foreign aid advocacy groups are soul-searching in the wake of the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development and deep cuts to U.S. foreign assistance. Bipartisan support for U.S. aid programs crumbled quickly in the face of Elon Musk's attack on the agency via the Department of Government Efficiency, and USAID's legacy is now viewed through a starkly polarized political lens. In the aftermath of that collapse, advocacy organizations are trying to regain their footing — including by hiring conservative political veterans into key roles. Jim Richardson, a longtime congressional staffer and former aide to Mike Pompeo, coordinated one of the largest reorganization efforts in USAID's history during Trump's first term. He recently joined the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition — one of the most influential “soft power” advocacy groups in Washington, D.C. — as national outreach director. He joined the Theory of Change podcast to discuss the future of U.S. development advocacy — and what it will take to rebuild support for aid programs. "We have to really go back to the basics,” he said. “Where does the U.S. government have a comparative advantage? What does the power of international assistance do? What can it do?”

Why is housing so expensive, and why does it take years to build new homes in communities that desperately need them?In this episode of ChangeMakers, Katie Goar speaks with Laura Foote, founder and executive director of YIMBY Action, about America's housing shortage and the political choices that continue to limit housing production.Laura explains how restrictive zoning, lengthy permitting processes, local opposition, fees, and political pressure make it harder and more expensive to build. She also shares how the YIMBY movement is organizing residents to support new housing, influence local officials, advocate for policy changes, and hold cities accountable.The conversation explores how housing shortages affect teachers, nurses, small businesses, older adults, young families, and anyone who can't afford to live near their job or community.Laura also discusses the growing bipartisan support for housing reform, the expansion of YIMBY Action's 87 local chapters, and the organization's work to unblock tens of thousands of new homes across the country.You'll learn:• Why America is millions of homes behind• How zoning and permitting increase housing costs• Why local opposition carries so much political power• How housing shortages hurt businesses and essential workers• Why housing reform has support across the political spectrum• How ordinary residents can influence housing decisions• What YIMBY Action means by “units unblocked”Learn more about YIMBY Action and how you can get involved in supporting housing production in your community.ChangeMakers with Katie Goar explores the people, policies, and ideas shaping the future of affordable housing.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:41 Laura Foote's personal housing story02:09 Why high housing costs feel like personal failure02:28 How the YIMBY movement began04:34 Why new housing is so difficult to build06:52 The community-wide effects of housing shortages07:46 How residents can change the political math08:33 Addressing common objections to new housing10:49 How communities move from NIMBY to YIMBY12:59 Why older adults and employers are joining the fight14:00 Yes in God's Backyard and other policy reforms16:11 Why the housing shortage affects everyone17:01 America's self-imposed housing crisis18:21 Bipartisan momentum for housing reform21:20 Inside YIMBY Action's 87 local chapters22:31 When YIMBY Action takes cities to court24:15 How YIMBY Action measures its impact25:00 What “units unblocked” means26:21 Why YIMBY Action focuses on new construction27:00 Turning housing expertise into political action

Barrett Gruber and Donald Brock are back for another wide-ranging conversation that covers the World Cup, political conspiracy theories, daylight saving time, military testosterone testing, the Carolina Hurricanes, and Soda City Comic Con — roughly in that order, and all with the humor you'd expect from two guys who are definitely not experts.The episode opens with a deep dive into the World Cup, where Barrett and Brock break down the Argentina vs. Spain matchup and make the case that the tournament is less a sprint and more an endurance race — teams that can maintain performance across weeks, not just matches, are the ones that go deep. The second-half performance conversation is particularly sharp, and leads naturally into a broader discussion about all-star games across hockey, baseball, and the NBA. The Carolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup victory gets its moment too.From sports, the pair pivot to politics — starting with the conspiracy theories swirling around various political figures and their health, and the broader question of what geriatric leadership means for American governance. As Brock puts it, "geriatric leadership raises important questions." The South Carolina primary and election logistics come up, followed by one of the episode's most surprisingly engaging threads: daylight saving time. Bipartisan support for a permanent time change is rare political common ground, and Barrett and Brock unpack the state-by-state dynamics, including the fascinating case of the Navajo Nation's unique time zone practices.The conversation then takes a turn into AI-generated political imagery, military testosterone testing and physical standards in leadership, and the defense budget — before landing on a preview of the upcoming Soda City Comic Con and a closing thought on why deliberation beats debate every time.Topics Covered:World Cup Argentina vs. Spain analysis and team enduranceSecond-half performance and what separates contenders from championsAll-star games: hockey, baseball, and the NBACarolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup victoryPolitical conspiracy theories and health rumors around public figuresGeriatric leadership and governance concernsSouth Carolina primary and election logisticsDaylight saving time legislation and bipartisan supportAI's impact on political imagery and perceptionState-specific time zone practices and the Navajo NationMilitary testosterone testing and physical standardsDefense budget and potential reallocationSoda City Comic Con previewDeliberation vs. debate as a civic frameworkSoda City Comic Con in Columbia, SCBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeSoda City Comic Con | InstagramSoda City Comic Con | FacebookClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Here comes the sun! Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill to officially move the country into a permanent Daylight Saving Time. Now don't make any changes to your sleep schedule just yet -- the proposal still has to pass the Senate. And even though we talk about this every six months, it stills tops of the list of issues voters care about. Greg and Holly give their thoughts on whether to keep the change, move to Standard Time, or stay on Daylight Saving Time.

Our podcast today focuses on several U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving presidential authority, birthright citizenship, and election procedures. The conversation examines competing constitutional interpretations of executive power, the structure of federal agencies, immigration and citizenship policies, absentee ballot regulations, and judicial reasoning in closely divided court decisions. It also includes extensive discussions on American politics, ideological disputes, government institutions, immigration, capitalism, communism, national identity, and public remarks made by political figures regarding America and its values. 1. Presidential Authority to Fire Officials A Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies strengthened presidential control over the executive branch by overturning or limiting previous precedent that restricted a president's ability to remove agency officials. It is characterized as a major constitutional and political victory for presidential power. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should be fully accountable to the president because they are part of the executive branch. Bipartisan commissions may become less common as a result of these decisions. 2. Commentary on Zohran Mamdani and Progressive Politics His Fourth of July remarks were anti-American and compare progressive or socialist policies to communism. Communism produces poverty and authoritarianism and contrasts "American exceptionalism" with what we characterize as Mamdani's worldview. 3. Birthright Citizenship Another major topic is the Supreme Court's handling of birthright citizenship. Children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants should not automatically receive U.S. citizenship. Current policy, an argument for restricting birthright citizenship, expresses support for either a constitutional amendment or federal legislation to change it. 4. Mail-In Ballot and Election Law Case Supreme Court case concerning absentee ballots in Mississippi. The Court upheld a law allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted afterward. The ruling will make it harder to make elections fair and argue for stricter election procedures and federal election reforms. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

President Donald Trump says he will not sign a bipartisan housing bill passed by Congress because the Senate has not passed a separate bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to vote, so the housing bill will become law without his signature at midnight tonight under the Constitution.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports a bipartisan housing affordability bill will become law -- without President Trump's signature.

President Donald Trump declined to sign a bipartisan housing bill approved by overwhelming majorities in Congress, saying he was protesting until lawmakers pass the SAVE America Act. Under the Constitution, the legislation became law without his signature because he neither signed nor vetoed it while Congress remained in session.

George Black, guest author, concludes with the ongoing effort to address the war's legacy, which reached a milestone in 2019 with a bipartisan gathering at Bien Hoa airbase to launch a massive cleanup project. This initiative, supported by figures like Patrick Leahy and Charles Bailey, demonstrates that aid for disabled victims should be a humanitarian rather than a political issue. The human impact is exemplified by Yen, a young woman born with severe limb distortions who overcame local superstitions and her family's initial rejection to build a life in the city. As Searcy and Bailey argue, even small amounts of resources—like providing a two-dollar red plastic stool for a disabled repairman—can transform lives. The story concludes with the personal redemptions of the two protagonists. Manus Campbell has found peace by living in Vietnam, marrying a Vietnamese woman, and following the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh while working with orphans. Chuck Searcy recently returned to Athens, Georgia, to settle his affairs after decades of service in Vietnam. While the work of the "long reckoning" remains unfinished, these individual and collective efforts have begun to heal the wounds of the past. The Long Reckoning (8)1906

The Department of Justice has repeatedly argued that it cannot meet the congressionally mandated deadline to release all Jeffrey Epstein–related documents because of the massive volume of material and the need to review and redact sensitive information, particularly the identities of alleged victims, before publication. DOJ officials have said that millions of documents are still under review and that hundreds of attorneys and over 400 reviewers are working through the backlog, but they have also acknowledged that only a tiny fraction—less than 1 percent—of the files have been made public well past the Dec. 19, 2025 statutory deadline. The department further resisted efforts by lawmakers to appoint a special master or independent monitor to oversee compliance, claiming that Congress's cosponsors lack standing in the Maxwell criminal case and that judges do not have authority to compel faster action. In letters to the court, DOJ representatives have emphasized the logistical burden of the review and insisted the effort is ongoing, framing the delays as a byproduct of the sheer scale of the task rather than intentional obstruction.Critics have seized on the department's complaints as evidence of willful slowness, selective release, and a prioritization of protecting powerful individuals over transparency and accountability. Lawmakers, victims' advocates, and commentators have blasted the pace and extent of the release as insufficient to satisfy the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, and some have suggested the DOJ's invocation of redaction and procedural burden is being used as a pretext to conceal politically sensitive material. Bipartisan pressure has grown, with proposals for audits of the department's compliance and threats of contempt proceedings against top DOJ officials for failing to meet the law's requirements. Even a federal judge acknowledged the lawmakers' concerns were “undeniably important,” though he declined to intervene directly. The frustration stems from the perception that the department's complaints about being bogged down are enabling continued opacity, retraumatizing survivors, and undermining public trust in the justice system's willingness to confront Epstein's network fully.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Top federal prosecutors ‘crushed' by Epstein files workload - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

“There's a kind of exhaustion and resentment — maybe sometimes feeling a little foolish about still feeling attached to some idea of this country that seems like it's maybe not holding that strong or that healthy anymore.” — Christopher Hooks Happy fucking birthday, America. No, not my tasteless language. These words adorn the cover of the July 2026 issue of the 175-year-old Harper's, America's oldest monthly publication. From one alter kocker to another. It's no fun getting old. The Harper's piece, written by the Texas-based journalist Christopher Hooks, is a funereal essay about his travels around an exhausted America. It began as a reported account of America250 — the bipartisan commission set up in 2015–2016, at the end of the Obama era, to organise the semiquincentennial celebrations. Bipartisan? Internal bureaucratic dysfunction. Disagreements about purpose. Trumpian lawsuits. NDAs. Blah, blah, blah. Hooks found it demoralising. The landscape of Washington DC, he writes mournfully, is didactic and insistent. Some alter kocker is always trying to teach you something. But some people do, indeed, have something to teach us. Hooks' piece ends with Thaddeus Stevens — the club-footed, cranky, ugly radical Republican congressman who was born a few years after the Constitution was ratified. Stevens spent most of his long life believing in perfect racial and ethnic equality, helped frame the 14th Amendment as a second founding father, and died deeply disappointed. And, of course, that disappointment would only be compounded if he could see what Christopher Hooks saw in his recent trip around the contemporary United States. Dear America — happy fucking birthday. Love, uncle Thaddeus. Five Takeaways •       Happy Fucking Birthday: The Title, the Feeling, and the Cover of Harper's: Hooks' editor at Harper's came up with the title. Hooks is glad they did. It matches the feeling: exhaustion, resentment, and a kind of embarrassment at still feeling attached to an idea of America that seems like it's not holding together. His father — a Republican for most of his life until 2016 — wakes up every morning and has to deal with the fact that America is maybe not the thing he thought it was. He feels humiliated. His son does too. Nobody likes to be fooled. And part of the unique indignity of the Trump era is the delight Trump and his people take in rubbing the noses of liberals in the abuse of American symbols. •       The America250 Commission: Dysfunction, Lawsuits, and a Startup Fund: America250 was a bipartisan commission set up at the end of the Obama era to organise the semiquincentennial celebrations. By the time Hooks arrived at their press briefing, they had survived internal dysfunction, disagreements about purpose, lawsuits, and NDAs. Trump's people had been brought in; fighting followed. Their proudest achievement: a venture capital seed fund to help American college students start companies, as a way of repairing the lack of patriotism polling says younger Americans feel. It felt to Hooks like it came from a past political moment — discredited and distant. He came out of the briefing dispirited. •       The History of Semiquincentennials: 1876 Had Juice, 1976 Had Amnesia: Milestone commemorations have usually been emotionally complicated. 1926 was a disaster. 1976 — at the end of Vietnam and after Watergate — surprised many by producing an unexpected wave of patriotic sentiment that washed away, at least for a day, the gnawing doubts. That amnesia helped make possible both Jimmy Carter and the Reagan revolution. But the moment of maximum danger had passed by then. The one commemoration that had genuine juice, in Hooks' view, was 1876 — the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, a world's fair that was a genuine moment of national energy. The 250th is not that. •       Thaddeus Stevens: The Honest Version of America's Story: Hooks ends his piece with Thaddeus Stevens — the radical Republican congressman, club-footed, cranky, and widely described as ugly by his contemporaries. Born a few years after the Constitution was ratified. Believed in perfect racial and ethnic equality when almost no one else did. Helped frame the 14th Amendment as a second founding father of American democracy. Died deeply disappointed. His story, Hooks suggests, is the most honest version of how to be attached to America: feeling profound anger about the country as it is, working for something better, not living to see it, and laying the groundwork for what comes after. •       Not Going to a Sanctioned Celebration Zone: Hooks will spend July 4 in New York, having a few beers with friends. Probably not going to a sanctioned celebration zone. Not setting off fireworks. His father will be in Texas, doing roughly the same. Both men share what Hooks calls a feeling of humiliation — a sense that they were fooled about what America was, and that the process of reckoning with that is long and ongoing. The Gilded Age was also pretty bleak, Hooks notes, and in time it was replaced by the progressive era and the New Deal. American history swings in big pendulum arcs. He wants to have hope. Some days it's easier than others. About the Guest Christopher Hooks is a journalist who writes about Texas politics for Texas Monthly and national politics for Harper's Magazine, The New Republic, and others. He divides his time between Austin, Texas and Brooklyn, New York. His piece “Happy Fucking Birthday: An Exhausted America Turns Two Hundred and Fifty,” is the cover story of the July 2026 issue of Harper's Magazine. References: •       “Happy Fucking Birthday: An Exhausted America Turns Two Hundred and Fifty” by Christopher Hooks, Harper's Magazine, July 2026. •       Ben Fountain, Rasputin Swims the Potomac — referenced at the opening; recent KOA guest. •       Peter Wehner, “The Apotheosis of Donald Trump,” The Atlantic, June 14, 2026 — referenced; recent KOA guest. •       Thaddeus Stevens (1792–1868) — radical Republican congressman, abolitionist, framer of the 14th Amendment. •       America250 — the federal commission organising the US semiquincentennial celebrations. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of ...

June 27, 2026; 7am: This week, President Trump cancelled a big bipartisan signing event on Capitol Hill for a bill that would make housing more affordable in this country. As lawmakers were gathering for the event, Trump said he would not sign it unless Congress passed his big voter suppression bill, the Save America Act. This comes after two federal judges blocked Trump's executive orders trying to restrict the use of mail-in ballots. Kimberly Atkins Stohr and David Drucker join The Weekend to weigh in on how this could actively hurt the Republican party's chances in November.

They explore her path from a Columbia neuroscience lab to fine art cake design, and the philosophy of "cake as therapy" that shapes her studio work. Then they turn to the commission itself: how she pitched it, why she landed on the theme American Made, and how children's artwork from all fifty states and the territories became the centerpiece.  Later, Grace walks through the congressional sessions she's running on Capitol Hill, the donated ingredients sourced from local farms and historic mills, the recipe she rebuilt from the first American cookbook, and the logistics of moving a cake the size of a car.

This morning, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo launched RAISE US, an initiative to directly confront what she calls America's missing piece: a people strategy to match its technology strategy. Raimondo joins Rapid Response to explain how she built a $500 million war chest, secured bipartisan backing, and signed up launch partners from Bank of America to Anthropic before the ink was dry. She also makes the case against the two most popular answers to AI displacement — slowing down development and Universal Basic Income, and explains why neither will actually work. What will? A collective reinvention of how America trains, transitions, and values its workers. The window, she warns, is narrower than most people think.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Tuesday, the House passed a comprehensive housing affordability bill 358–32, sending the measure to President Donald Trump to sign into law. The bill, titled the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, seeks to increase housing supply by rolling back construction regulations, expanding financing options, and restricting institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in most circumstances. The Senate voted 85–5 to pass the bill on Monday. After originally scheduling a signing ceremony today, Trump announced he would cancel the signing until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. He has not indicated that he would veto the bill.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!A conversation with Tim Urban.Why are otherwise intelligent people unable to resist falling into echo chambers, and how do some get out?

Republicans just passed the most consequential housing bill in years — and almost nobody is paying attention. Sold as a solution to housing affordability and corporate home ownership, the legislation instead expands federal housing programs, incentivizes local zoning changes, promotes higher-density development, and gives Washington unprecedented leverage over local communities. This sweeping new housing bill uses federal grant money as a "carrot and stick" to pressure local Republican politicians and developers into destroying local zoning laws. The ultimate goal? To overdevelop exurbs, suburbs, and rural areas with high-density, multifamily, and Section 8 housing and “smart cities.”  Yet, because of the idolatry of Trump, we have no men standing in the breach to fight this.  Learn more about your ad choices.
