This segment dives into the ongoing saga of the Jeffrey Epstein files, questioning why a release promised by the Trump administration has been stalled. The host chronicles the bizarre timeline, from Trump's initial vow to expose the "rich and powerful" to his abrupt reversal, which the speaker claims has damaged his support. The discussion includes analysis of statements from Trump's former attorney Alina Habba, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who continue to push for the documents' release. The transcript suggests that the real obstacle to transparency lies not with the administration, but with liberal judges and powerful individuals, some of whom are in government and others who are not, who are using their influence to keep the information from becoming public. The host concludes by expressing deep cynicism that the full truth will ever come to light.

Just two lawyers have remained inside 26 Federal Plaza every day as it's become the epicenter of President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda in New York City, with “large masked men with guns” stationed outside of courtrooms to drag away people showing up for civil hearings. Allison Cutler and Benjamin Remy of the New York Legal Assistant Group's Immigrant Protection Unit talk with Harry Siegel about what what's different now than in Trump's first term as he's now targeting institutions as much as individuals, what they've witnessed inside the courthouse building in Lower Manhattan — and why those scenes are coming soon to a street near you.

As campaigns gear up for the 2026 midterms, new tech changes threaten online fundraising. Apple's iOS 26 will filter texts from unknown numbers, potentially blocking campaign messages from reaching 65% of donors who use iPhones. Meanwhile, Gmail has been flagging Republican fundraising emails with WinRed links as dangerous while ActBlue links pass through unfiltered.

A federal judge on Monday said the Trump regime is “absolutely forbidden” from removing mistakenly deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the U.S., for now. Judge Paula Xinis blocked Abrego Garcia's deportation to Uganda until she can hold a hearing to determine whether the administration will let him contest his removal to the third country. The bid to deport him comes just 3 days after he was freed from custody in a criminal case filed against him in federal court in Tennessee. He filed suit after he was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody Monday when he reported for a check-in at ICE's Baltimore field office.

This Day in Legal History: Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation ActOn August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act into law, reshaping the American welfare system in ways that continue to spark debate. Billed as a way to "end welfare as we know it," the law imposed strict work requirements on recipients and introduced a five-year lifetime limit on federal benefits, regardless of economic conditions. The legislation replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), transforming a federal entitlement into a state-administered block grant system.Supporters of the reform hailed it as a bipartisan success, encouraging employment and reducing long-term dependency. But critics argue that the law eroded the social safety net and punished the poor, particularly single mothers and children, by prioritizing ideological goals over economic realities. States were given broad discretion in how to allocate funds, leading to uneven access and accountability. Many used their new flexibility not to expand support systems but to restrict eligibility and reduce caseloads, often with little evidence of improved outcomes.The law also failed to account for structural barriers to employment—such as childcare shortages, low wages, and racial discrimination—leaving many without support when they failed to meet work requirements. Moreover, the block grant's fixed funding has not kept pace with inflation or need, effectively shrinking welfare over time. While welfare rolls dropped sharply in the years following the reform, poverty did not—suggesting that many were simply pushed out of the system rather than lifted out of hardship. The 1996 law codified a narrative of moral failing over structural inequality, framing poverty as a matter of personal irresponsibility rather than systemic dysfunction.A federal judge ordered an immediate halt to new construction at the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center in Florida's Everglades. The facility, championed by Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, was barred from accepting new detainees and required to dismantle supporting infrastructure—including generators, waste systems, fencing, and lighting—within 60 days. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, sided with environmental groups who argued the project violated federal, state, and local environmental laws.The detention center, estimated to cost $450 million annually and house up to 5,000 detainees, had drawn backlash for its location in a fragile wetland ecosystem populated by endangered species. Environmental advocates and some local leaders had long criticized the plan, noting it conflicted with decades of political pledges to protect and restore the Everglades. The Department of Homeland Security had tapped FEMA funds to support the project, raising additional controversy over funding priorities.In her ruling, Judge Williams emphasized that the project ran counter to longstanding legislative commitments to environmental protection. Florida has already filed an appeal, but environmental groups hailed the decision as a critical victory. Despite mounting opposition, Trump dismissed ecological concerns and reaffirmed his intent to replicate the model nationally as part of his broader immigration crackdown.Judge orders halt to new construction at 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center | ReutersAlligator Alcatraz Expansion Blocked for Harm to Environment (1)California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a pair of redistricting bills designed to redraw congressional districts in favor of Democrats—part of an aggressive political response to a newly passed gerrymandered map in Texas. Both states are now embroiled in legal and constitutional battles, as Republicans and Democrats seek to lock in partisan advantages ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Newsom also set a special statewide election for November 4, asking voters to approve the new map. If passed, it could flip up to five Republican-held House seats and secure four Democratic-leaning swing districts.California's strategy sidesteps its voter-created independent redistricting commission, which has been enshrined in the state constitution since 2010 to prevent political interference. Because of that, lawmakers are now required to get voter approval to implement their plan—creating a high-stakes ballot measure, Proposition 50. Republicans and good-government advocates, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Munger Jr., have vowed to fight the plan in court and on the ballot. A pending GOP lawsuit argues the legislature violated the state's 30-day waiting period for new bills, pushing through the redistricting effort without proper transparency.In Texas, the Republican-controlled legislature approved a new congressional map at the urging of President Trump, hoping to maintain a narrow House majority. Voting rights groups immediately challenged the plan, claiming it violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by racially diluting Black and Latino voting power. The case will be heard by a federal three-judge panel in El Paso, with a likely fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court. Texas Republicans, including Governor Greg Abbott, deny any racial bias and argue the map reflects demographic shifts and Republican gains among minority voters.This escalating redistricting clash highlights the legal vulnerability of U.S. voting systems when partisan manipulation goes unchecked. Though the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that federal courts cannot weigh in on partisan gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering remains justiciable under the Voting Rights Act. Meanwhile, California Democrats are relying on voter sentiment—and Trump's unpopularity in the state—to justify a temporary abandonment of anti-gerrymandering principles.Explainer: The legal battles over redistricting in Texas and California | ReutersNewsom Signs California Redistricting Plan to Counter Texas Republicans - The New York TimesA federal judge ruled that Alina Habba, President Trump's controversial appointee as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, had no legal authority to hold the office after her temporary term expired. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann found that the Trump administration violated federal law by firing Habba's court-selected successor, Desiree Grace, and then using a series of procedural maneuvers to reinstall Habba. These included appointing her as “special attorney,” then naming her first assistant U.S. attorney to invoke the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.Brann concluded that Habba was unlawfully performing the duties of U.S. Attorney as of July 1 and that her actions from that point forward “may be declared void.” The ruling blocks her from overseeing or participating in criminal cases, and it extends to prosecutors operating under her supervision. The judge criticized the administration's strategy as an attempt to bypass Senate confirmation entirely by exploiting loopholes in temporary appointment rules, warning that this interpretation could let the executive branch install preferred prosecutors indefinitely.The Trump-appointed Attorney General, Pam Bondi, vowed to appeal, and Brann stayed his ruling pending the outcome. Still, the decision casts a shadow over prosecutions under Habba's leadership, and some courts in New Jersey have already paused proceedings. Brann also rejected the idea that firing interim appointees before their terms expire could justify continual reappointments without oversight.Defense attorneys in the case that triggered the ruling argued that the executive branch cannot sidestep a process designed to check prosecutorial power through judicial or Senate involvement. Though the judge refused to throw out defendant Cesar Pina's indictment—since the investigation began before Habba's unlawful tenure—the ruling reinforces that prosecutorial authority must be rooted in lawful appointment.Alina Habba Blocked From Handling Cases in Rebuke to Trump (3)This week's closing theme is by Claude Debussy.This week's closing theme comes from Debussy, born on August 22, 1862—an apt choice as we mark the anniversary of his birth. Debussy was a revolutionary figure in Western music, often associated with Impressionism, though he rejected the label. He sought to break from the rigid structures of the Germanic tradition, instead favoring color, atmosphere, and suggestion over clear-cut form and resolution. His music evokes shifting light, fluid motion, and emotional ambiguity—more akin to poetry or painting than to classical architecture.One of his early works, Rêverie, composed in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the world he would come to define. The title means “daydream,” and the piece unfolds with a gentle, unhurried lyricism that floats outside of time. Though simple in construction, it is harmonically rich and emotionally resonant—hinting at the innovations to come in Clair de Lune, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, and Pelléas et Mélisande.Rêverie was one of Debussy's first pieces to gain public attention, though he later dismissed it as “a piece for salon use.” Listeners have disagreed ever since. Its introspective tone and delicate touch make it a lasting favorite among pianists and audiences alike. It feels like a whisper—never urgent, never insistent, always inviting. In that sense, it's a fitting farewell for the week: contemplative, unresolved, and open to interpretation.Without further ado, Claude Debussy's Rêverie enjoy! This is a public episode.

On June 18, 2021, Cook acquired a loan on a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the mortgage agreement, Cook represented to “use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the execution of her agreement, Pulte said. On July 2, 2021, just two weeks later, Lisa Cook also purchased a condo in Atlanta and entered a 30-year mortgage agreement and affirmed the property would serve as her primary residence within 60 days of the execution of the mortgage and would serve as her primary residence for a full year, Pulte's referral said. According to Pulte, while Cook affirmed her Atlanta property would serve as her primary residence, online records indicate that the property was listed for rent in September 2022. “ https://twitter.com/pulte/status/1958111353505189889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958111353505189889%7Ctwgr%5E7b1ea1c18c3ea4f7d32cb6a97cb37da17b87743d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F08%2Fbreaking-trump-calls-biden-appointed-federal-reserve-governor%2F https://twitter.com/pulte/status/1958153869503975559?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958153869503975559%7Ctwgr%5E7b1ea1c18c3ea4f7d32cb6a97cb37da17b87743d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F08%2Fbreaking-trump-calls-biden-appointed-federal-reserve-governor%2F https://twitter.com/pulte/status/1958138434171629636?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958138434171629636%7Ctwgr%5E7b1ea1c18c3ea4f7d32cb6a97cb37da17b87743d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F08%2Fbreaking-trump-calls-biden-appointed-federal-reserve-go...

A very chaotic episode as Ms. Lauryn returns after 2 years and have a conversation about anything and everything.

On this powerful solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I explore the deep connection between blocked creativity, emotional trauma, and the womb—and how this interplay can directly affect your fertility. While so many focus on ovulation tracking, supplements, and diet, it's often the unspoken, unprocessed emotions that quietly influence conception. In this episode, I share the wisdom of ancient traditions and modern science, revealing how the womb is not just a physical organ but an energetic, emotional, and creative center. From Chinese medicine's heart-womb connection to somatic healing practices like visualization and movement, I offer actionable ways to reconnect with your womb and unlock its healing potential. Whether you're trying to conceive or simply seeking a deeper relationship with your body, this episode will invite you to listen inward, release what's been stored, and restore safety and softness to the womb space. Key Takeaways: How trauma, grief, and emotional blocks can be stored in the womb The ancient and energetic significance of the womb as a creative center How the heart and uterus are connected through Chinese medicine Practices to restore safety and regulation in the nervous system Simple tools like visualization, movement, and self-compassion to nurture the womb For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com https://www.michelleoravitz.com/the-wholesome-fertility-journey  To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility  The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504  Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Send us a textPeaches is back with a savage ops brief for August 7th—spitting truth, roasting bureaucracy, and dragging the Air Force's finest decisions through the mud. Public Affairs thought they could silence him by revoking access to curated news updates (LOL), but jokes on them—he's still lighting up your eardrums. From Cybertrucks as target practice to tragic gate incidents to the DOD quietly spending $175B on a missile shield no one's allowed to talk about, this one's packed with headshakers, jaw-droppers, and classic Ones Ready sass. Come for the updates, stay for the chaos.

Katie Herzog, co-host of the Blocked & Reported podcast, returns to Walk-Ins Welcome to discuss her new book Drink Your Way Sober. She and Bridget have a frank conversation about alcoholism, the steps you take to hide it from your loved ones, Katie's realization that it would kill her, and how Naltrexone helped her drink her way sober and banished the desire to drink, something she'd never experienced before. They cover how the drug works, why it won't work for everyone, the difference between drinking habits, reward drinkers vs. relief drinkers, their current addictions, why Perimenopause is just a branding term, driverless cars, Pee-wee Herman, the wild world of Mormon influencers who party without a drop, how to deal with family members who want to read the book you wrote, why as a writer, the impulse to self-protect is weaker than the impulse to tell a good story.

These back-to-back segments unravel a dual crisis facing Donald Trump's presidency: a collapsing trust in official economic data and a coordinated Republican establishment effort to derail his agenda. The first segment exposes how jobs numbers have been falsified under Biden—and possibly continuing under Trump—thanks to holdovers in federal agencies. The second reveals how Senate Republicans, not Democrats, are the real force blocking Trump's nominees and demanding he restore billions in slush fund spending, particularly to USAID, which is accused of funding censorship, foreign interference, and even terrorism. Together, the transcripts paint a portrait of a presidency under siege—not from the opposition party, but from within his own.

Jesse Singal is cohost of the podcast Blocked and Reported, author of the newsletter Singal-Minded, and a contributing writer at The Dispatch. His first book is The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can't Cure Our Social Ills, and he is working on his second, which is about the American debate over youth gender medicine. In this week's episode, Yascha Mounk and Jesse Singal explore whether wokeness is over, the future of the Democratic Party, and why social science is in crisis.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they applaud President Trump for ratcheting up the pressure on Vladimir Putin and scold him for refusing to allow the president of Taiwan to visit the U.S. And they examine the arrest of the illegal alien serving as a police officer in Maine. First, after noting the passing of Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg, they cheer President Trump for giving Putin a firm 10–12 day deadline to end the war in Ukraine. Trump appears to be losing patience with Putin's broken promises and ongoing escalations. Jim and Greg also explore how Trump might respond if Putin ignores the warning, and they question America's continued dependence on adversaries like Russia and China for materials vital to national security.Next, they slam Trump's refusal to let Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te stop in New York City en route to Latin America. While the move may be tied to sensitive trade talks with Beijing, Jim argues the U.S. should never let China dictate who can enter our country. They also examine how this decision may embolden the Chinese government. Finally, they break down the arrest of an illegal immigrant in Maine who was not only trying to buy a gun but was already working as a local police officer. While officials claim to have used E-Verify to confirm his status, Jim notes the system can't verify whether applicants actually own the documents they present.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
