President Trump is tacitly threatening to interfere in the 2026 elections. He's urged Republicans to “nationalize” them and recently said he regrets not seizing voting machines in 2020. Last month the FBI seized ballot boxes in Fulton County, Georgia as part of some sort of criminal investigation that remains murky. Now it's being reported that this FBI move originated with claims from a well-known election denier that have been widely debunked. This raises serious worries that Trump could direct the FBI to seize 2026 midterm ballot boxes based on a similarly spurious rationale. We talked to Lauren Groh-Wargo, head of the voting rights group Fair Fight Action. She explains who this election denier is, decodes the latest revelations about the FBI's action in Georgia, walks through how Trump could attempt to disrupt the 2026 midterm vote count, and lays out ways that local officials—and the rest of us—can start preparing to fight back.

Julie K. Brown, the investigative reporter for the Miami Herald, not only reignited the Jeffrey Epstein case by exposing the sweetheart non-prosecution agreement in Florida but also turned her spotlight to Epstein's Caribbean operations. In a 2023 Miami Herald piece titled “U.S. Virgin Islands cozied up to Jeffrey Epstein. Now they're profiting from his sex crimes,” Brown detailed how Epstein benefited from deep ties to the territory's institutions—securing lavish tax breaks and beneficial financial dealings through shell companies like Southern Trust. Her reporting underscored how USVI authorities, including those in positions of power, either overlooked or enabled Epstein's operations, which later came under legal scrutiny through lawsuits and settlements.In the piece, Brown argued that the USVI not only allowed Epstein to operate with little interference but later positioned itself to collect financial benefits through penalties and settlements after his death. This framing suggested that the government was both complicit in allowing the criminal enterprise to flourish and opportunistic in profiting from its collapse. The article sparked strong pushback, including from the University of the Virgin Islands, which issued a public response disputing some of the claims. The controversy reflected the tension between investigative reporting that sought to highlight systemic failures and local institutions that rejected the characterization of their role.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:U.S. Virgin Islands profiting from Jeffrey Epstein's crimes | Miami Herald

Donald Trump's top trade adviser, Peter Navarro, just offered an extraordinary statement on Fox News. He admitted that we should lower our expectations for job creation because of Trump's success in removing immigrants from the country. In essence, Navarro suggested it was a good thing to have lower jobs numbers provided the (supposed) cause is higher deportations, and confirmed that removing immigrants isn't creating jobs for Americans. We think this provides an opening to explore what MAGA economics is really trying to accomplish. So we talked to economist Paul Krugman, author of an illuminating piece on his excellent Substack that takes apart Trump's immigration agenda. He explains how Navarro wrecked a core scam that Trump has long peddled about immigrants, how this undermines the most basic story MAGA tells about the economy, and how Democrats can seize on the failure of that story to tell a better one of their own.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We took a few days off, but we'll be back with a brand new edition of TV Confidential later this week. In the meantime, please enjoy this Blast from the Past clip from February 2016 in which Tony, Donna, and Ed discuss the television career of Sandy Duncan (Funny Face, The Hogan Family) as part of This Week in TV History. Sandy Duncan was born on Feb. 20, 1946.

Coming in hot post-Super Bowl with something that's been on my mind: Trending content. Because what better time to talk about trends than after the most-watched content drop of the year? In this episode of the I Do Wedding Marketing Podcast, I'm diving into some of the top questions I hear from wedding pros:Should I be jumping on trends?How often is too often?And are these trends actually turning into booked clients?You're getting my unfiltered take on what's actually working inside real wedding businesses right now. Because here's the truth: trends can grow your reach, but they are not a full content strategy if you're trying to get quality inquiries.Let's break down how to use trends strategically without relying on them to carry your business.

Donald Trump was initially angry over the decision to feature Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl halftime show. But then, as he performed, Trump's rage worsened: In a furious rant, he claimed the show was a “slap in the face” to our country, that Bad Bunny's use of Spanish means “nobody understands a word this guy is saying,” and that the show was “absolutely terrible.” Other MAGA figures fumed that the show was a betrayal of America. Meanwhile, CNN polling guru Harry Enten details in a new analysis that Trump is hemorrhaging support from his working class base. What if those two developments—Trump-MAGA fury at the show and Trump bleeding his base—are related? We talked to Adrian Carrasquillo, author of The Bulwark's excellent newsletter “Huddled Masses.” We discuss how Trump-MAGA are in a bubble about Bad Bunny's show, how most Americans likely viewed it, why Trump's ICE raids and hostility to immigrants are costing him working class support, and how that wrecks various myths about 2024.  Learn more about your ad choices.

According to my weather app, we might hit 52° on Saturday! I'm so ready to get working on my backyard projects this Spring! In the news this morning, Ghislane Maxwell pleads the fifth, Savannah Guthrie issues another plea, a Burger King franchise in Wisconsin is in big trouble for child labor penalties, and a recall on a popular cake mix. In sports, the Bucks lost to the Orlando Magic last night, the Badger men's basketball team takes on #5 Illinois tonight, the Vegas Raiders officially hire Klint Kubiak, and an update on Lindsey Vonn's crash & surgery. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight & what's new on New Release Tuesday. Elsewhere in sports, the latest on the Falcons linebacker and the allegations of domestic assault, some Olympic medals are breaking, and a new-ish sport is upsetting the internet. Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show is back from California and we got his reaction to the Super Bowl. Cute story about an elderly couple who recently got engaged…and another kid got stuck in a claw machine and had a BLAST! Today is "Red Tuesday"…and if you're not feeling too secure in your relationship, this is the day you should break it off to avoid the fake romance & pressure of Valentine's Day. And speaking of V-Day, we took a look at how much a dozen roses will cost you in the Midwest. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who got into an argument with some teenagers at a McDonald's and mooned them, a thief who got caught by some llamas, a paramedic who was pissing all over the place, and a daycare worker who was allegedly giving the kids laxatives so they'd have to go home early.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Donald Trump posted a viciously racist meme depicting the Obamas as apes, a self-identified three-time Trump voter called in to C-Span and unloaded. He described the meme as an “embarrassment to our country,” apologized for backing Trump, called out his lying and bribe-taking, and ripped him as “rotten” and “pathetic.” This comes after many Republicans condemned the post, leading the White House to take it down and blame an unnamed staffer for it. We think all this captures a newfound Trump-MAGA weakness in the culture. So we talked to New Republic senior editor Alex Shephard, author of a great new piece on the waning of Trump-MAGA's cultural dominance. We discuss how formidable Trump-MAGA's cultural relevance looked in 2024, why it has waned, how ICE has turned the culture against MAGA on a deep level, and what it all says about the future of MAGA and our country.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Well listener, we're BACK from BED-STUY and we've got stories to tell. The Godling show was a BLAST, so many good friends and good fun chilling in the city all last weekend. We talk a little about the pieces, the venue, the community love that we felt from this event, and tackle some tough convos about what makes an artist with a capital A? On top of that Gage talks about priming inside a hotel room after learning the hack from BDCF, Steve's getting the next issue of Under the Dice wrapped up, and Terry cleans up his damn computer and makes it SLIGHTLY less slow.Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Illegally park on a snowbank, and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hive Scum Big Cartel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Knucklebones Miniatures' (@knucklebones_miniatures) New Hive Scum Flagellants! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Knucklebones Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the In Rust We Trust discord here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IRWT Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you'd like to support us further, take a look at our Patreon!

Play NowEpisode 394 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast kicks off with the cast's impressions after the recent reveal of the next two Primes from the Age of the Primes toy line, Liege Maximo and Nexus Prime. Additional discussion is prompted by both the Hasbro livestream of information about the toys, as well as preorder listings for the recently revealed second wave of figures for 2026. The talk then moves toward the "More than Meets the Eye" Collection's battle damaged Optimus Prime and Megatron. Blokees Wheels continue the reveal train before more listener questions roll in, which cover various topics including toys that the crew changed their mind about as time went on. Finally, a condensed "Bragging Rights" brings this episode to a close.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lost her temper with a reporter who asked if Donald Trump intends to flood polling places with ICE agents during the midterms. She called the question “silly” and “hypothetical” and “disingenuous,” even though Steve Bannon, who's influential in the White House, explicitly said this week that this will happen. This comes as Trump himself called for Republicans to “nationalize the voting.” Leavitt also struggled to spin this threat from Trump, suggesting that's not what he meant, only to have Trump undercut her by reiterating his demand soon after. The White House is all over the place on this. So we talked to legal expert Rick Hasen, author of the excellent Election Law Blog. He separates the real from the fake in Trump's threats, outlines the nightmare scenarios that Trump actually could attempt to pull off, and explains how we can gear up right now to fight back.

Andy grills Brian with three songs in this week's edition of Trace of Bass.

The explosion took place at a mosque in Islamabad. Numerous hospitals and medical research institutions in the capital city have gone into a state of emergency.

Donald Trump just claimed in an interview that the events in Minnesota suggest that ICE needs to use a “softer touch.” He also struggled to create the impression that he's been working constructively with local officials there. While all this is just spin, it reveals an awareness that these events have put him in a politically weak position. Indeed, this comes as Trump's plans for vast migrant prison camps are hitting angry opposition in unlikely places: In a deep red, partly rural county in Virginia; among Republican officials in other states; and even in Mississippi, where a GOP Senator has come out against a planned camp there. We talked to Brian Beutler, who's been arguing on his excellent “Off Message” Substack that Dems need to take charge of debates like these. We dig into the surprisingly robust backlash against Trump on immigration, why the prison camps present a big opportunity for Democrats, and why they must abandon the idea that Trump's 2024 win showed a big cultural shift against immigrants.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

After The New York Times reported that President Trump has backtracked on a major demand he'd made on Harvard University, he spiraled out of control in three wild tirades. He angrily insisted on a correction from the Times, and levied unhinged new threats against Harvard, demanding a new billion-dollar extortion payment while calling for the university's criminal prosecution. Harvard officials clearly leaked word of Trump's backtracking to humiliate him at a moment of political weakness. It worked: Trump appeared panicked and weak as he fired off half-cocked threats. Which raises a question: Why don't more institutions grasp that standing firm against Trump is the only way? We talked to Ryan Enos, a Harvard political scientist who has long argued for a strong stand. He explains the internal politics at Harvard leading to its current posture, why this fight's outcome has broader significance amid our slide into authoritarianism, and what the prospects are for Harvard holding firm.

Annemarie Ettekoven publicly described Jean-Luc Brunel as a predatory figure who operated with impunity inside Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, portraying him as a man who openly trafficked in young girls and treated sexual exploitation as routine. She stated that Brunel moved comfortably among powerful people, leveraged his modeling connections to access vulnerable girls, and acted with a confidence that suggested he believed he was protected. Ettekoven emphasized that Brunel was not a peripheral player but an active participant in the same abuse ecosystem that sustained Epstein, and she made clear that his behavior was widely known within certain circles long before authorities intervened.Ettekoven also pointed to the importance of the evidence provided by Virginia Roberts Giuffre to French authorities, describing it as detailed, specific, and corroborative of long-standing allegations against Brunel. Giuffre's testimony included accounts of being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to Brunel in France, along with descriptions of locations, timelines, and conduct that French investigators treated as credible enough to form the backbone of their case. Ettekoven underscored that Giuffre's cooperation was central to establishing jurisdiction and momentum in France, and that without her evidence, Brunel likely would have continued to evade serious legal scrutiny for years longer than he did.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Donald Trump is making it explicit. In an angry diatribe to a right-wing podcaster, Trump told his usual lies about vote-cheating by undocumented immigrants, but this time he explicitly called on Republicans to “take over the voting.” He also darkly promised something new out of Georgia, where his FBI is investigating an election center. He singled out supposed fraud in Minnesota, lying that he won it three times. And he said he's not backing down in the state. Taken all together, the threat is clear: Trump may try to use federal forces to interfere in the midterms, in part by using ICE to intimidate voters and foment crisis. Notably, this comes as MAGA media figures are loudly calling on Trump to escalate the ICE crackdowns, as Media Matters documents. We talked to reporter Gillian Brockell, who regularly scrutinizes ICE and has a new piece detailing how ICE is getting more cruel. We discuss what Trump can do to interfere in the elections, how far his threats can really get, and how MAGA conceives of ICE as an instrument of authoritarian state terror.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Donald Trump is making it explicit. In an angry diatribe to a right-wing podcaster, Trump told his usual lies about vote-cheating by undocumented immigrants, but this time he explicitly called on Republicans to “take over the voting.” He also darkly promised something new out of Georgia, where his FBI is investigating an election center. He singled out supposed fraud in Minnesota, lying that he won it three times. And he said he's not backing down in the state. Taken all together, the threat is clear: Trump may try to use federal forces to interfere in the midterms, in part by using ICE to intimidate voters and foment crisis. Notably, this comes as MAGA media figures are loudly calling on Trump to escalate the ICE crackdowns, as Media Matters documents. We talked to reporter Gillian Brockell, who regularly scrutinizes ICE and has a new piece detailing how ICE is getting more cruel. We discuss what Trump can do to interfere in the elections, how far his threats can really get, and how MAGA conceives of ICE as an instrument of authoritarian state terror.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Donald Trump appears in deep denial about how widely hated his ICE raids have become. He let out a strange, rambling tirade to reporters about how the “silent majority” is still behind what ICE is doing, bizarrely citing approval of the raids among his own White House employees to make the case. In another rant, he lied uncontrollably about the protesters, about crime in Minneapolis, and more. Interestingly, this comes as a poll from none other than Fox News finds Trump deeply under water on immigration. It also finds that very large majorities of independents think ICE is being too aggressive. Incredibly, even majorities of rural whites and non-college whites—loyal base voter groups—think the same. We talked to pro-immigrant organizer Lia Parada, who represents groups losing lawful status under Trump. She recounts what she's seeing out there, shares details about surprising new signs of opposition to ICE, and explains how Democrats can seize this moment to effect a more durable shift in public opinion.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Annemarie Ettekoven publicly described Jean-Luc Brunel as a predatory figure who operated with impunity inside Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, portraying him as a man who openly trafficked in young girls and treated sexual exploitation as routine. She stated that Brunel moved comfortably among powerful people, leveraged his modeling connections to access vulnerable girls, and acted with a confidence that suggested he believed he was protected. Ettekoven emphasized that Brunel was not a peripheral player but an active participant in the same abuse ecosystem that sustained Epstein, and she made clear that his behavior was widely known within certain circles long before authorities intervened.Ettekoven also pointed to the importance of the evidence provided by Virginia Roberts Giuffre to French authorities, describing it as detailed, specific, and corroborative of long-standing allegations against Brunel. Giuffre's testimony included accounts of being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to Brunel in France, along with descriptions of locations, timelines, and conduct that French investigators treated as credible enough to form the backbone of their case. Ettekoven underscored that Giuffre's cooperation was central to establishing jurisdiction and momentum in France, and that without her evidence, Brunel likely would have continued to evade serious legal scrutiny for years longer than he did.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

President Trump and the GOP are in a growing panic over ICE. Trump's advisers are sinking into recriminations. Republican officials are publicly admitting that his immigration agenda “seems to be not working” and that the GOP is “losing” the political battle over it. Others are suggesting that Alex Pretti's killing was “murder” and that it's time to “recalibrate.” Yet MAGA figures are pulling in the other direction. Media Matters has a good roundup: Many are urging Trump to escalate, with white supremacist Nick Fuentes labeling Pretti a “race traitor.” MAGA doesn't want to let the GOP even appear to moderate. We talked to Jennifer Rubin, editor-in-chief of The Contrarian, who has a new piece urging Democrats to seize this moment. We discuss how MAGA's white nationalism has landed “moderate” Republicans in a trap, why this provides an opening to divide the Trump coalition, and what Democrats can do to demonstrate that they side with the American people against Trump-MAGA's violent lawlessness.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

We open up the show discussing John Wall night and how great the organization did to honor him.

Debra Richardson joined the police at age 18 in the 1980s, working undercover as a prostitute and surviving the Russell Street bombing. Years later, she met her foster son, Yuri, who had also survived disaster.Deb and her family met Yuri after they agreed to care for one of the many children brought to Australia for short-term stays following the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine.Decades later, a journey to help that foster son, now living in a war zone, ended up helping Deb in ways she never expected.This episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake and the Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores women in the police force, police academy training, sexism, undercover police work, the Russell Street Bombing, car bomb, PTSD, Chernobyl disaster, Chernobyl children, John Farnham, Russian mafia, Project Yuri, charity, war in Ukraine, aid work, family, foster care.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

GOP Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski have now called for the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. This angered Donald Trump, who lashed out at them as “losers” and “terrible Senators” and belittled them in other ways. But Noem's tenure does look shaky. A new government review of the killing of Alex Pretti undercuts Noem's initial account. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is declining to back Noem. And Stephen Miller undercut her, blaming DHS for a potential breach in protocol by the officers and even suggesting the initial smearing of Pretti was rooted in info supplied by the agency. This whole thing has gotten away from Trump. So we talked to New Republic contributor and Substack author Virginia Heffernan, who's been documenting the popular backlash against ICE. We discuss why Noem's standing will likely keep declining, what that tells us about Trump's own miscalculations, and how ordinary people have taken charge of this story in a manner Trumpworld cannot fathom.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

After we recorded this episode, we noticed that Axios is reporting that anger is rising at Stephen Miller inside Donald Trump's inner circle. Some White House officials blame Miller for smearing ICE murder victim Alex Pretti. This comes as reports in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times suggest that other top advisers want ICE to change course in a way that is running afoul of Miller's designs. That all this is leaking out shows internal dissatisfaction with Miller is growing. Meanwhile, a new YouGov poll finds 55 percent of Americans and 67 percent of independents have very little confidence in ICE. Both reflect large recent spikes. We think all this reflects a deeper Miller-MAGA miscalculation. So we're talking about all this with The Atlantic's Adam Serwer, who spent time in Minneapolis and wrote a good piece on the outpouring of popular energy there. We discuss what he saw on the ground among ordinary people, why it badly undermines the Miller-MAGA theory of American politics, and how MAGA poses a far bigger threat to social cohesion than immigrants do.

As the country absorbs the shock of Alex Pretti's murder by federal agents in Minneapolis, President Trump is politically on the defensive. He sent his border czar there and sort of made nice with Minnesota's Democratic governor. Meanwhile, Republicans and senior ICE officials are panicking about the situation. Democratic Senators are vowing to oppose funding for the Department of Homeland Security absent major restrictions on ICE. Will they hold the line? We talked to Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. He offers a bracing indictment of Trump-ICE lawlessness, saying bluntly that we're at a “breaking point” that will decide whether “we condone the federal government murdering our own citizens.” Murphy also lays out how Trump is losing the argument over immigration, what Democrats should demand to restrict ICE and explains why it would be disastrous—for his party and the country—if Democrats cave at such a critical moment.  Learn more about your ad choices.
