At least 109 people have died amid devastating flooding in Texas. Distressingly, 27 deaths occurred at a summer camp for girls, and the toll continues to rise.  This week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt angrily lashed out at the news media and Democrats for asking whether Trump administration policies bear any blame for the disaster's impact. What struck us, though, is her demand that we all treat this as a “national” tragedy. She's right that we should do this. But that solicitude is precisely what Donald Trump and MAGA deny to non-MAGA America at other urgent moments. And that's the true MAGA ethic at its ugliest. We talked to New Republic staff writer Kate Aronoff, who has a new piece on all this fallout. We discuss why Leavitt is wrong to silence hard questions, why Democrats should talk about GOP priorities at times like these, and why MAGA's approach to solidarity is so deeply twisted.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Tim Kurkjian joined Ken Carman and Anthony Lima and shared the national perspective on the Cleveland Guardians and how they're viewed around Major League Baseball. He explained why the front office and ownership deserve more credit than fans are giving them, how the team can string wins together and what road blocks they'll face in the process. Tim also talked about whether or not the team should trade Steven Kwan or extend him, and if Jose Ramirez is getting the recognition he deserves.

At a rally, President Trump declared that he now may suspending deportations for farmworkers and other migrant workers. Trump openly admitted this will anger the “radical right,” by which he likely meant Stephen Miller and others who want every last undocumented immigrant in this country removed—or else. Indeed, leading MAGA influencers sharply attacked the move: One declared that it will “break” the MAGA coalition. The other flatly demanded that Trump keep on deporting “grandmothers.” We think all this should be understood as a display of weakness: Trump badly wants the public to think he's considering relaxing his mass deportation regime precisely when Congress has given him tens of billions of additional dollars for it. We talked to journalist, historian, and podcaster Garrett Graff, who has a new piece on his Substack about what's coming. He explains why rapidly expansion of Trump's paramilitary force is so dangerous, how his effort to pseudo-moderate on deportations has exposed serious political vulnerabilities, and why he has no easy way out of them.

In today's episode, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg makes a crucial point: During months of debate about President Trump's now-signed budget bill, there was very little public debate about what its explosion in Immigration and Customs Enforcement funding will inflict on America. Rosenberg chalks this up in part to Democrats' failure to engage on the matter. We discuss the bill's extraordinarily large health care cuts and its massive upward redistribution of wealth—and how Democrats should attack that. But now that it has passed, it's also sinking in that the tens of billion of dollars the bill pours into expanding Trump's detention complex will supercharge those masked, unidentified “secret police” that keep snatching migrants and legally-present immigrants off the streets. The whole project just got much darker. Rosenberg also discusses the intense civil conflict that this is already starting to unleash, and why it will get much worse. He reflects on how Democrats can campaign against the “shocking” darkness that Trump is inflicting on the country. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

This week, President Donald Trump issued many angry threats against Zohran Mamdani, the underdog winner of New York Democratic mayoral primary. Trump has been attacking Mamdani, a state Assemblyman, as a “Communist,”  threatening to arrest him along with other foes, and questioning Mamdani's U.S. citizenship, hinting at a possible effort to try to strip his citizenship.  What caught our eye is Mamdani's response: It was sharply worded, illuminated the real stakes in this battle in a novel way, and effectively declared that the threat posed by Trump's secret police to immigrants actually threatens us all. Democrats can learn from this, because Trump's threats to denaturalize foes may soon become real. We talked to David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute. He explains what Trump would need to do to denaturalize Mamdani and other political opponents, what liberals and Democrats be preparing for right now, and why basic freedoms are hanging in the balance—for all of us.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The Senate just passed its version of President Trump's big budget bill, which will cut $1 trillion from Medicaid to fund huge tax cuts for the rich. In a series of angry tweets, Vice President JD Vance downplayed the Medicaid cuts while saying what really matters is the bill's massive funding for ICE and migrant detention. It was a revealing moment: Vance basically told MAGA voters not to think too much about their pending loss of health care via Medicaid cuts; instead they should focus on how many migrants the bill will end up jailing and deporting. That scam is integral to getting the Medicaid cuts passed in the first place. But what will voters think? We talked to Kristen Crowell, who is campaigning against the bill for the advocacy group Fair Share America. She explains how Trump voters and other constituencies are reacting to the bill in many communities with anger and fear; why the public is not receptive right now to typical GOP attacks on the safety net; and whether this can be converted into midterm gains for Democrats.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

President Trump is raging at GOP Senator Thom Tillis for telling the truth about the Senate version of his budget bill, which could knock 10 million people off Medicaid. Trump threatened him with a primary—whereupon he announced his retirement. Tillis has since been sharply criticizing the bill, noting it will bump 600,000 people from Medicaid in North Carolina. This reveals that when Trump vowed not to cut Medicaid, he was lying. But it also shows his much-advertised vow to remake the GOP as working class has proven a sham. By threatening Tillis, Trump has only drawn more attention to Tillis' truth-telling about his swindle of MAGA voters. And as Trump's own media allies are warning, this could put the Senate in play for Democrats. We talked to New Republic staff writer Timothy Noah, author of a new piece on GOP lying about the bill. He explains why Trump's Medicaid cuts are so indefensible, how they expose the core of Trump's “working class GOP” scam, and what it all means for Democratic hopes of regaining power.

This filing, submitted on behalf of Sean Combs and his co-defendants in the case English v. Combs et al., opposes the plaintiff's renewed request for a 60-day extension to secure a third set of legal counsel. The defense argues that the plaintiff has already cycled through two legal teams—both of whom withdrew due to serious breakdowns in the attorney-client relationship, including what they described as “self-destructive conduct,” refusal to follow legal advice, and irreconcilable differences. The filing outlines a timeline of delays and extensions already granted, emphasizing that the plaintiff's behavior has repeatedly stalled progress and wasted the court's and defendants' time and resources.The defendants urge the court to deny any further delay, asserting that the plaintiff's complaint is fatally flawed and that she is unlikely to retain new counsel willing to continue litigating what they call “baseless claims.” They argue that granting another extension would prolong an already mismanaged case that has made little progress nearly a year after being filed. Moreover, the defense indicates it is prepared to file a motion to dismiss all eight of the plaintiff's claims with prejudice and warns that continued adjournments serve only to avoid scrutiny of the case's legal shortcomings. Ultimately, the defense calls for the case to move forward without further delay, with or without new representation for the plaintiff.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.624352.74.0.pdf

It's becoming clearer that many of President Trump's supporters are realizing how badly they're getting shafted by his big budget bill and other leading initiatives. Senator Mitch McConnell just privately admitted that many Republicans are getting major blowback from “people back home” about the bill's deep Medicaid cuts, adding that “they'll get over it.” A stunning Fox News poll just found that a majority of white men without a college degree oppose the bill. Crucially, these voters make up “the heart of Trump's base.” Amazingly, Trump's own pollster just bluntly suggested that Trump voters are feeling betrayal. On top of all that, Trump supporters again and again have been horrified to learn that his deportations are victimizing immigrants they like. And the tariffs are already hurting Trump country. So how badly are his working class voters getting hit? To find out, we talked to economist Jared Bernstein, who paints a dark picture of the impact they're feeling from all these policies taken together. Add it all up, Bernstein concludes, and the Trump-GOP lack of concern as their voters learn they're taking it on the chin is “mind-boggling.”  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

President Trump's big budget bill is in some trouble after the Senate parlimentarian ruled that big chunks of it can't pass via a simple majority. That enraged MAGA: Marjorie Taylor Greene unleashed a furious rant demanding that Senate Majority Leader John Thune fire the parliamentarian. Other top MAGA figures, like Senator Tommy Tuberville and Representative Greg Steube, angrily demanded the same. Though Thune says he won't take this plunge, MAGA's anger could escalate, and the demand threatens to further undermine liberal democracy. All this comes as Trump's general approval is sliding in many new polls, disapproval of Trump is spiking on many major issues, and the budget measure is absolutely tanking. We talked to journalist Sarah Posner, author of good books on the religious right and its impact on MAGA. She explains what Trump's sliding numbers mean to MAGA, why MAGA's anger at the parliamentarian really matters, what's next for the budget bill, and how MAGA fury is partly rooted in Christian Nationalism.

Built to Blast: The Rise of Moonshot Mark Built to Blast: The Rise of Moonshot Mark kicks off this power-packed episode featuring 13-year-old phenom Mark “Moonshot” Thompson. With SLIDE Field Reporters Lilah and Jake as co-hosts, Mark shares how he combines raw power, speed, and maturity to lead ZT National and inspire young athletes everywhere. Big Swings from Jacksonville to Fenway Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Mark plays for ZT National and attends St. Joseph's Catholic School. He’s earned his nickname the hard way—by blasting 21 home runs in just the spring season. From being raised on the ballfield to starring in elite events like Select Fest and Pitch, Hit & Run at Fenway Park, Mark is a rare mix of talent and humility. “Home runs aren't made—they come,” he explains, offering wisdom well beyond his years. A Multi-Sport Athlete with a Singular Focus While he still competes in basketball, football, and cross country, baseball is where Mark's heart is. He trains relentlessly—hitting four buckets of balls a day and refining his approach to go middle and oppo. His favorite bat? The OG Cat 9 Composite. Most overrated? The Icon. Off the field, Mark is just as dedicated—he's in the Honor Society and even won first in his science fair category. Mindset, Motivation, and the Moonshot Mentality Mark's maturity is part of what sets him apart. After struggling with emotions early in his career, he embraced failure as fuel for growth. “Greatness comes from failure, but failure makes greatness,” he says. Whether it's launching a 75-yard TD pass, competing against the nation's top hitters, or staying calm in clutch moments, Mark shows leadership that's rare at any age. Speed, Humility, and Dreams of The Show From learning under Blake Snell at Zilla to running a 13-minute two-mile and averaging 8–10 stolen bases a tournament, Mark proves he's more than a slugger. He dreams of being drafted—but only if it's first or second round. His backup plan? A full ride to play D1 baseball. His favorite player is Trey Turner, and his walkout songs—“TNT” by ACDC and “Calabria 2008”—reflect his explosive presence. “No moment is bigger than what you love. You gotta love the moment to be able to love the game.” – Mark “Moonshot” Thompson Check out Big Baller, Bigger Dreams and Bright Future featuring Brian Johnson Jr. for more elite youth athlete interviews.

President Donald Trump and his top advisers have worked themselves up into a fury about the leaked intelligence assessment casting doubt on the success of Trump's bombing of Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unleashed a wild, angry rant about it during a presser with Trump, viciously attacking intelligence officials for leaking the assessment. What Hegseth ended up revealing, however, is that we almost certainly cannot count on this administration to officially tell the truth about the Iran mission, because as Hegseth demonstrated, everything must always must serve the cult of Trump above all else.

President Donald Trump and his top advisers have worked themselves up into a fury about the leaked intelligence assessment casting doubt on the success of Trump's bombing of Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unleashed a wild, angry rant about it during a presser with Trump, viciously attacking intelligence officials for leaking the assessment. What Hegseth ended up revealing, however, is that we almost certainly cannot count on this administration to officially tell the truth about the Iran mission, because as Hegseth demonstrated, everything must always must serve the cult of Trump above all else. We talked to veteran national security lawyer Bradley Moss, who explains why this assessment is so important, what likely went into it, how the Hegseth-Trump-MAGA propaganda campaign is taking us to a very dangerous place as a country, and what to expect next.

Eagles DB Cooper DeJean is live with the WIP Midday Show at the Jason Kelce Beer Bowl in Sea Isle City! DeJean talks about his offseason, getting ready for next season, and some of the new things he's noticed and seen as a 2nd year player instead of a rookie!

BT and Sal are discussing Jasson Dominguez's rookie season, highlighting his impressive speed and recent four-hit game. Despite flashes of his talent, they express disappointment in his overall power production, noting he only has six home runs midway through the season, with three coming in one game. They believe that for a player with his hype and scouting report of immense power, his current numbers are not good enough, and he needs to hit for more power to be the high-impact player they expect for the Yankees, potentially making a difference in the team reaching World Series caliber.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez got into a major online battle over Trump's bombing of Iran. AOC said Trump had committed impeachable offenses. Trump responded with a wild, lengthy, unhinged  rant that dared Democrats to impeach him. And AOC responded by reiterating that the bombing is illegal. What struck us about this is that Trump let himself get spectacularly triggered precisely when his propagandists are blaring forth the message that his Iran saga shows him to be a statesman of world historical stature. Democrats should do more to bait Trump to trample on his own message at key strategic moments. We talked to Salon's Amanda Marcotte, who regularly decodes the pathologies of Trump and MAGA. She explains the deeper roots of Trump's fury at AOC, why his narcissism is already undermining his own message on Iran, how all this gives Democrats an opening, and what constrains them from taking advantage of it.

On Monday, President Donald Trump exploded in fury at reporters and news outlets for asking hard questions about whether the strikes really destroyed Iran's nuclear program completely, as he has proclaimed. And the questions are indeed mounting: There was clearly a lack of intelligence indicating that Iran's nuclear program posed an imminent threat. And reports have highlighted serious uncertainty about the whereabouts of Iran's enriched uranium. Trump thought he could bluff his way through this saga and count on Republicans to prevent any hard questions from being asked, but his rage at independent truth-seeking on the matter shows he knows he has a problem here. We talked to Democratic Congressman Sean Casten, who has forcefully argued that Trump committed impeachable offenses by bombing without congressional authorization. Casten goes deep on why Trump's unilateral action is so indefensible, why Trump is vulnerable to what the intelligence really shows, and why Congress has an urgent responsibility to step up.

A Marine's worst nightmare came true in a split second.In this episode of Urban Valor, Marine veteran Kyle Hansen recounts the devastating moment his AAV (Amphibious Assault Vehicle) ran over a natural gas line, sparking a massive explosion that left him severely burned and changed his life forever.Kyle served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2014–2018, starting in Marine Security Forces guarding nuclear assets at Naval Submarine Base Bangor. He later transitioned to 1st Marine Division's 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, training for overseas deployment. But during his final exercise, the explosion tore through the vehicle, injuring several Marines and a Navy corpsman.In this interview, Kyle shares the mental and physical aftermath of combat trauma, what it means to lead under fire, and how brotherhood shaped him. He also opens up about recovery, Wounded Warrior Battalion, and reclaiming purpose after being medically retired.

Emboldened by a partial court victory over his use of troops amid immigration protests in Los Angeles, President Trump is now threatening to expand deployment to other cities. This is unnerving, given that his manufacturing of fake rationales for “emergency” decisions like these is getting worse. Yet it comes as striking new polling shows that Trump's use of troops in California is deeply underwater with voters. Importantly, he's faring even worse on this with independents. In short, Trump recognizes zero constraints at this point, either from the law or, critically, from public opinion. We talked to Brian Beutler, author of the excellent Off Message Substack. He explains why Trump is losing the voters on two issues that pundits foolishly predicted he'd win on—the domestic deployment of troops and immigration—and how Democrats should respond by fighting a better information war than they currently seem capable of waging.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this podcast Jeff discusses a moment he never dreamed would occur: Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed by America and Iran is finally punished for its global terror. Every President from Carter through Biden looked the other way or appeased Iran's terrorism — Trump did not. Jeff eats some crow but points out the MAGA leading voices who sided with the Muslim terror state that tried to kill our President. And an update on Jeff's federal fraud sentencing before his fraternity brother. It was a hoot, it was surreal and it brought back a lot of memories.

President Trump is furious over a new poll from Fox News, and understandably so. It finds his approval upside down, with 54 percent disapproving. His standing is deeply underwater on many major issues, and remarkably, that includes immigration. So he erupted on Truth Social, fuming that Fox's pollster is “crooked” and has been “discredited,” and even (gasp!) that “MAGA hates Fox News.” But the surest sign of Trump's fury is that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rushed to soothe the Audience of One with a ridiculous, gushing tirade designed to create the grotesquely false impression that he has the support of a very large majority of Americans. We talked to former U.S. attorney and podcaster Harry Litman, who has a good piece for The New Republic about Trump's mounting losses and failures. He digs into the absurd disconnect between suggesting that Trump's support reaches deep into all corners of American life, as Leavitt did, and waging an all-out war on Blue America—and how that war is only wounding him further.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced striking questioning from Democratic Senator Elyssa Slotkin on Wednesday. She grilled him on whether he had given an order allowing members of the military to shoot unarmed protesters if necessary. She also pressed him on whether the military has the authority to arrest protesters. Hegseth stonewalled. What his obfuscation ended up revealing, though, is this: He knows that in response to Democratic questioning, he cannot be seen reassuring the broader public about the military's intentions toward civilians and especially toward Blue America. Trump would perceive this as weakness and as capitulation. Which itself reveals something deeply unnerving about the Trump-MAGA threat. We talked to Guardian columnist Moira Donegan, author of a great new piece about Trump's military parade. about Trump's military parade. She digs into the darker implications of Hegseth's testimony and explains why the sheer spectacle of authoritarianism is so central to the Trump-MAGA project. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

President Trump appears dead set on joining Israel's war with Iran. After a period of negotiations, Trump has now tweeted that he wants Iran's “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” The New York Times has a deep dive into his deliberations, and the findings are shocking. Trump is ready for war even though our own intelligence assessments don't support the case for it. And incredibly, the Times reports, Trump was influenced on all this by what he saw on Fox News, which broadcast relentless imagery of Israel's “genius” bombing of Iran. This led Trump to want “some credit for himself” for the attack, after which he “began hinting that he had played a bigger behind-the-scenes role in the war than people realized.” He then leaned more towards escalation. We talked to veteran national security hand Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, who has a great piece for Foreign Policy magazine on the situation. He explains why the case for war is so weak, how Trump is getting manipulated into it so easily, and what to expect as all this unfolds.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
