South Carolina Republicans fell short in an effort to eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district, preserving the seat held by Rep. Jim Clyburn. The failed vote came despite pressure from President Donald Trump and sparked sharp criticism from Clyburn over voting rights and the Constitution.

May 23, 2026, 8 AM; Clyburn is South Carolina's only Black member of the U.S. House and one of the most influential voices in congress and the Democratic party, and this move would further dilute Black voting power in the state for potentially decades. The new map still has to get through the State Senate, which yesterday failed to secure enough votes to finalize it before early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina's primary election. Some Republicans don't seem to be totally on board with five of them joining Democrats in opposing a rushed process. Fmr. Rep. Joe Cunningham and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss the latest redistricting efforts by the GOP in that state.

This week on Truth to Power, in this important mid-term election year, we bring you a conversation with U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn about his book "The First Eight: A Personal History of the Pioneering Black Congressmen Who Shaped a Nation," with Louisville's former Congressman John Yarmuth. Jim Clyburn is the U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993. He previously served as House Majority Whip from 2019 to 2022 and 2007 to 2010, making him the first African American to serve multiple terms as Majority Whip. Currently, he serves as the Ranking Member on the Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. The recipient of 39 honorary degrees, Congressman Clyburn's numerous awards include: the Lyndon Baines Johnson Liberty and Justice for All Award in 2015; the Harry S Truman Foundation's Good Neighbor Award in 2021; the NAACP's highest honor — the Spingarn Medal — in 2022, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honor — in 2024. His endorsement of Joe Biden for president in 2020 is credited with boosting him to an overwhelming victory in the South Carolina and subsequent primaries and setting Biden on the path to the presidency. Clyburn's book, The First Eight, is an extraordinary work of living history. It explores the powerful, untold story of the pioneering Black politicians from South Carolina who were elected to Congress in the aftermath of the Civil War, and a revealing explanation of why it took nearly a century before the ninth, James Clyburn, was elected. Learn more about the book at https://www.carmichaelsbookstore.com/book/9780316572743 John Yarmuth is a former United States Congressman who served eight terms as the representative of Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District (2007-2023) and was chairman of the House Budget Committee from 2019-2023. He was the primary sponsor of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Yarmuth became the first Kentuckian to join the Progressive Congressional Caucus. He has been recognized for his work to improve education and expand access to affordable health care. Prior to his congressional career, he founded and edited the Louisville Eccentric Observer (LEO), a weekly alternative newspaper. During his 15 years with LEO, Yarmuth won nearly 20 awards for column and editorial writing. This conversation was held before a live audience at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville on November 24, 2025. It was produced by the UofL Kentucky Author Forum and was released in January as the fifty-ninth episode of Great Podversations (https://kentuckyauthorforum.com/podcast/great-podversations-episode-59-clyburn-yarmuth/). Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://www.forwardradio.org

Chuck Todd opens with Trump getting visibly defensive with reporters over a brutal new inflation report — and argues the bad economy is in worse shape directly because of Trump's policies, with the president himself having zero answers for the data. He notes that AI investment is essentially the only thing propping up the economy, and that we are at least weeks away from the end of the Iran war. He warns we're only at the beginning of the inflation problem and that Democrats can simply point to Trump's broken promises of lower costs and no wars — they don't even need to make a "for" case, just a sustained "against" case — but cautions that despite all of this, Democrats still have a serious brand problem that no economic data alone will fix. He argues the failed Virginia redistricting effort exposed the deeper issue: Democrats talk like the resistance but are viewed as institutionalists, while Republicans still behave like raw partisans, and the rise of independent voters represents a fundamental protest against both available parties — something that should worry Democrats more than Republicans because the GOP has already shown a willingness to blow up the system. He makes a sweeping argument that until the last decade, Democrats were a reform-focused party, but the Trump era has pushed them into becoming defenders of institutions at exactly the moment when public trust in institutions had collapsed. He closes with observations from the Musk-Altman trial, which he says has been revealing about the personalities actually building AI — with OpenAI employees testifying to Altman's lying and the internal chaos, and so much tech ego on display that the public, already feeling burned by big tech, is only going to grow more skeptical. This episode of the Chuck Toddcast features a deep dive into the AI governance crisis with two of the leading experts in the field. First, Miriam Vogel — president and CEO of EqualAI — joins the show to explain her organization's mission of establishing meaningful AI guardrails at a moment when American consumers are deeply skeptical of big tech and less than 1% of companies have anything resembling strong AI governance policies. Vogel argues that good governance means corporate leadership must take direct responsibility for AI deployment, walks through her five best practices for responsible AI adoption, and pushes back on the idea that federal preemption should override state-level regulation — noting that companies are pushing hard against state regulation precisely because they know most of the actual rules will be written in court cases over the next few years. She warns that we're seeing tremendous investment in AI without commensurate ROI so far, that gender and regional gaps in AI adoption are already emerging, and that the public urgently needs to be empowered with real knowledge about AI's upsides as well as its risks. Vogel asks the question that should keep every executive up at night: are we actually ready for AI to make decisions without humans in the loop? And she argues that transparency — letting employees and consumers see how AI errors play out — will be absolutely essential to safe deployment. Then former Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Neuberger joins to discuss what global AI governance should look like between superpowers, and whether the arms race framing between the U.S. and China is actually helpful or harmful. Neuberger argues AI is fundamentally different from nuclear regulation because it's being developed by the private sector rather than by governments, and questions whether it was a mistake to let the private sector spearhead this technology in the first place. Drawing on her cybersecurity background, she walks through how governments learned to combat ransomware: extending existing rules for fiat currencies to cover cryptocurrencies (which had helped criminals evade detection), disincentivizing ransom payments, and helping companies recover without paying — a template she argues could apply to AI regulation. Neuberger says AI drug development should be an international win-win rather than a zero-sum arms race, but acknowledges the national security applications make competition unavoidable, with advantages now measured in months rather than years and dangerously inadequate military-to-military communication between the U.S. and China. They debate whether an "FDA for AI models" might be necessary, that existing regulations can be updated to cover AI without requiring new legislation, and that AI will ultimately transform defensive cybersecurity by allowing companies to double-check their infrastructure at scale. Her bottom line: laws always trail technology, but governments have key roles to play in identifying cyber risks, helping companies patch their infrastructure, and ensuring America's defenders aren't left behind as Chinese models close the six-month gap.

On the Monday, May 11, 2026, broadcast of The Charlie James Show, the third hour (Hour 3) featured several key discussions centered on Republican legislative priorities and the shifting political landscape in South Carolina.Hour 3 Segments & TopicsSegment 9: The S.A.V.E. America Act & Senator ThuneCharlie James discussed the S.A.V.E. America Act, a GOP-led voter ID bill requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. The segment focused on conservative criticism of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who has been seen as an obstacle by some for resisting calls to eliminate the filibuster to pass the bill.Segment 10: Ralph Norman and A.I. ImpactsThe discussion turned to South Carolina Representative Ralph Norman, with commentary suggesting a perceived "softness" in current political stances toward him. The segment also addressed the economic impact of Artificial Intelligence, highlighting specific industries currently being disrupted or "hit hard" by rapid AI integration.Segment 11: Redistricting, Jim Clyburn, and the Black VoteA major focus was the redistricting of South Carolina's 6th Congressional District. James discussed how new maps could potentially eliminate Representative Jim Clyburn's seat—the state's only majority-minority district—and the subsequent impact on the Black vote and broader conservatism in the region.Segment 12: Spencer Pratt Attack Ad in LA Mayor's RaceThe hour concluded with a look at a controversial new campaign tactic in the Los Angeles mayoral race, where Democrats reportedly released an attack ad featuring reality TV personality Spencer Pratt to target an opponent

La famille Clyburn quitte New York pour sʹinstaller dans la vallée de la rivière Madison, dans le Montana. Confrontés au deuil et la résilience, les membres du clan tentent de se reconstruire après une tragédie, tout en s'adaptant à leur nouvel environnement. Par le créateur de Yellowstone Taylor Sheridan, avec Michelle Pfiffer, Kurt Russell, Beau Garrett

A heated South Carolina redistricting battle is exploding inside the GOP as lawmakers clash over whether to extend the session and redraw congressional maps that could reshape multiple districts—including Rep. Jim Clyburn's seat. At the same time, internal Republican divisions are on display as Senate leadership resists even debating new proposals. Nationally, the conversation shifts to rising socialist-aligned candidates gaining traction inside Democratic politics, sparking debate over ideology, messaging, and party direction.

The second hour of The Charlie James Show on May 6, 2026, featured interviews with Attorney General candidate State Senator Stephen Goldfinch, who discussed fighting federal overreach and state government efficiency, and District 1 candidate Craig Dean regarding his campaign platform. The program also featured former Representative Adam Morgan criticizing a $300 million South Carolina state budget earmark, alongside analysis of efforts to redraw Congressman Jim Clyburn's district to make it more competitive. Listen to the full episode on Audacy.

In the second hour of the broadcast, Charlie James sharpened his critique of establishment "RINOs" in Washington and Governor Henry McMaster's perceived hesitation to aggressively pursue mid-decade redistricting, despite meeting with White House officials to discuss the matter. The show contrasted this with the bold rhetoric of Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, who has consistently called for redrawing maps to dismantle the "Democratic stronghold" in Rep. Jim Clyburn's 6th Congressional District. Meanwhile, the segment addressed the fierce opposition from the left, where figures like Clyburn have denounced such efforts as "Jim Crow 2.0" and a "never-ending" attempt to disenfranchise minority voters following recent Supreme Court rulings.

Grief rarely arrives quietly. In "The Madison", it detonates and leaves a family trying to rebuild their lives in the emotional rubble. The sweeping Paramount+ drama from Taylor Sheridan follows the Clyburn family after a devastating loss sends them from New York City to Montana, where grief, reinvention, and culture shock collide. The series stars Michelle Pfeiffer as matriarch Stacy Clyburn alongside Kurt Russell, Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Beau Garrett, and more.On the latest episode of The Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast, host Mike DeAngelo spoke with Russell and Pfeiffer about the emotional core of the series and their long‑awaited on‑screen reunion, before sitting down with director Christina Alexandra Voros, who helmed all episodes of the show and has become one of Sheridan's most trusted collaborators.Pfeiffer's entry into the series came in a very Taylor Sheridan fashion. The filmmaker pitched the idea to her informally before any scripts existed over tequila.

The Madison (Paramount+, 12 eps)The Madison is new from Taylor Sheridan and stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, a ritzy New York City philanthropist and the matriarch of the successful Clyburn family. She seems intent to quit city living for the wilds of Montana after an event sees her questioning her life in New York. Scarpetta (Prime, 8 eps)Nicole Kidman is forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta who returns to her position as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner, where she investigates a murder with eerie reminders from her first big case decades ago. Scarpetta works alongside former detective Pete Marino (Bobby Cannavale) and her now husband FBI Agent Benton Wesley (Simon Baker) as they investigate a brutal strangling. Playing Kidman’s sister and Cannavale’s wife is Jamie Lee Curtis as a successful children’s author Dorothy who starts the series sharing a house with Scarpetta. Vladimir (Netflix, 8 eps)Who would have thought – two comedies sent in literature classes in small US colleges in two weeks on the TV Gold podcast. (We reviewed Rooster last episode.)Vladimir follows an unnamed, middle-aged protagonist (Rachel Weisz) who is a writer, professor, wife, and mom. As her life unravels, she becomes obsessed with a captivating new colleague, the eponymous Vladimir (Leo Woodall), at the small liberal arts college where she’s worked for decades. The cast are brilliant including John Slattery who plays the philandering college professor husband of Weisz’s character.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Iran war is somehow both ending and just beginning. Trump wants out, but there's no clean exit. The US bombed an elementary school in Tehran. Iran has a new Ayatollah who's likely worse than the old one. Israel bombed Iranian oil facilities—and the US is reportedly furious.

Washington state Democrats have passed a new 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires, the first income tax in the state's history. The measure now heads to the governor's desk and represents a major shift in a state long known for its lack of personal income taxes.But the policy debate is already colliding with economic reality. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has announced he is relocating to Florida, a state with no income tax. That move underscores a longstanding pattern in American economics: high earners often respond to aggressive tax policies by moving to lower-tax jurisdictions. If more states pursue similar policies, the migration of wealthy taxpayers to places like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee could accelerate.The broader question is what happens if that migration significantly shrinks the tax base in high-spending states. European countries experimented with wealth taxes for years before many rolled them back after wealthy residents simply moved elsewhere. Washington may now be testing whether the same dynamic will play out inside the United States.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Senator Ron Johnson is pushing for a vote to begin debate on ending the legislative filibuster, at least in its current form. The immediate catalyst is the House-passed SAVE America Act, which focuses on citizenship-based voter registration and voting ID requirements.Republicans do not currently have the 60 votes needed to pass the legislation under existing Senate rules. That reality has revived calls to weaken the filibuster by shifting to a “talking filibuster,” forcing senators who want to block legislation to continuously hold the floor rather than simply signaling opposition.Institutionalists in both parties warn that such a move could be the beginning of the end for the Senate's 60-vote threshold entirely. Supporters argue the change is inevitable anyway and that the current rules simply prevent major legislation from passing. Either way, the vote could force senators to go on record about how much they value the chamber's traditional rules.Jim Clyburn and the Persistence of IncumbencyFinally, South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn has announced that he plans to seek reelection at age 85. First elected in 1992, Clyburn remains one of the most influential figures in Democratic politics and a central leader within the Congressional Black Caucus.His decision highlights the enduring power of incumbency in American politics. While voters and activists often debate generational change, long-serving lawmakers frequently retain strong political machines and local loyalty that discourage serious primary challenges. For now, there is little sign that anyone in Clyburn's district is preparing to challenge him.Taken together, these developments offer a snapshot of the current political landscape: states experimenting with new tax policies, the Senate wrestling with its own rules of power, and long-time incumbents continuing to dominate the institutions they helped shape.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro on Iran and Elections00:08:47 - Iran Breakdown with Ryan McBeth01:07:54 - Update01:08:14 - Washington State Tax01:09:53 - Filibuster01:13:30 - Jim Clyburn01:14:37 - Oscar-Nominated Movie Talk with Jada Yuan02:38:28 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

00:21 He is 85 years old and he is announcing that he is going to run for reelection. How will that go down on the hill? the kingmaker in the 2020 election, remember? Well, the queenmaker, really. Yeah, mean, was the guy. Joe Biden was losing in that primary until Jim Clyburn gave him that big endorsement. So now Jim Clyburn is going to... 00:45 The dude is 85 years old. Let's take a listen to, let's see, do we have some of this? Here we go. Here's a little bit of Clyburn today. can tell you it's not convenient trying to get through airports today. just told you, I just came in from Chicago last night and the line was long. I went to the airport three hours early in order to get here. Yeah, well, if your guys would fund the TSA, Jim Clyburn. 01:15 then maybe they wouldn't be so long. Now remember, this is the same guy, this is the same Jim Clyburn that said he don't know how to get his birth certificate. The password I was blocking on just then, but none other than that. How many people go out, get married, and then square their married name with their birth certificate? And that would be thrown out under that law? Under that law. Yeah. 01:42 So that's what just passed the House of Representatives now needs to get the 60 in the Senate. So I like what Schumer said, dead on arrival. Wow, that's ridiculous. Because the same documentation that women needed to change their name when they got married is the documentation that they would need to do that. But this guy, but here's the real frustrating part for me. 02:05 We had a chance here in South Carolina. 02:11 that we wouldn't even have to worry about Jim Clyburn. We had an opportunity, we had a window of opportunity to actually come in and redraw the congressional districts in South Carolina. 02:26 Congressman Ralph Norman wanted to do that. 02:31 Henry Disaster did not want to do that. Members of our state legislature did not want to do that. They could have done that and have picked up another seat for the Republicans, or at least eliminated one for the Democrats. And that's what they wanted to do. We could have done something about that, but we didn't. Why? Because we are a state that is run by a bunch of people that claim to be Republicans, but are actually Democrats in disguise. 03:03 Anybody that votes, and I won't tell you this, anybody that votes with Gilda Cobb Hunter is a Democrat. She is absolutely, they are a Democrat if they agree with her. You vote with Gilda Cobb Hunter, you vote with Leon Stavronakis, you vote with some of these. you go with the Republicans. You vote with Merle Smith, you're a Democrat. 03:28 in the vast majority of the instances. So we could have done something and never had to worry about Clyburn again. Clyburn's district. 03:38 Listen to this, is the worst district in the nation. 03:46 It is literally the worst district in the nation. That's where the corridor of shame is. And if you don't know what the corridor of shame is, they did a study some years ago about school districts. 03:59 and Jim Clyburn's district schools were the worst in America. They had peeling paint on the wall, had mold, had leaky roofs, they had books that weren't even usable because the pages were stuck together from all the moisture. It was a disaster. Absolute disaster. 04:21 And if you look at his district, this is no joke. When I lived in Charleston, the house I lived in, when we lived downtown on the peninsula, the house I lived in was the only house on the street, the only house on the street that was in Jim Clyburn's district. Everything else was in the first congressional district except for my house. I was so frustrated about that, but I voted against Jim Clyburn. um 04:51 But the way it was cut out, you tell me that's not gerrymandering? One house on a street is in one district, all of its neighbors? Another district? That's crazy. We could have done something about that. But no, no, no, no. Hey, Mike, I see your call. You're an in ...

Wes Moore's veto of a reparations study, and The Spiel turns to a new report on how white men have been squeezed out of cultural institutions—and what that shift means.

Meghan and Miranda are in full holiday mode with the decorations glowing and the cactus tinsel shining as they dive into a packed week of politics, pop culture, and online drama. Meghan opens up about the latest body shaming from Tucker Carlson's show and talks honestly about pregnancy, weight, and the pressure women face in the Ozempic era. The conversation is real, grounded, and deeply relatable. Political strategist Yemisi Egbewole joins the show for a wide-ranging discussion about Trump-world extremism, Tucker's sudden fascination with Qatar, the GOP's Nick Fuentes problem, and what all of this means for voters who do not want political chaos. They also break down the early buzz around Josh Shapiro, the Democrats' struggle with Black voters ahead of 2028, Clyburn's kingmaker influence, and whether Gavin Newsom's California brand can translate nationally. Then the fun starts. Meghan and Miranda get into Quentin Tarantino's attack on actors Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard (and his emotional response), and the very confusing 2026 Golden Globes nominations. They also talk about why television is outperforming movies right now, and tease their upcoming watch of 50 Cent's new Diddy documentary on Netflix, which they will review on the next episode.

Join me for a one-on-one discussion with fmr. House Majority Whip Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC 6th). We're breaking down a wild week in Washington: Senate brinkmanship narrowly averts a government shutdown as Chuck Schumer and 9 Senate Democrats throw their support behind a Republican-crafted funding bill—dodging disaster, but igniting Democratic backlash in the process. Meanwhile, Donald Trump rants about “weaponized justice,” conveniently ignoring the fact that his own administration handed a journalist front-row access to a classified war planning group chat on Signal. Yes, that actually happened. We unpack the staggering incompetence of Trump-world, the GOP's dangerous double standards on national security, and why Rep. Clyburn believes this moment requires not just resistance—but reinvention of how Democrats communicate and govern. From MAGA chaos to judicial power grabs by Jim Jordan and his crew, this episode cuts through the noise and asks: how do we defend democracy when one party keeps lighting matches? This isn't just politics as usual. It's power, hypocrisy, and the future of the republic—all on the line.
