2026 Elections and What Democracy Means This YearWhat if 2026 isn't just an election year, but the fight for representation itself? In this Season 6 premiere of Built by Us, host Kai McNeil sits down with Professor Dr. Irving Joyner from North Carolina Central University to examine the high stakes of the 2026 midterms and what democracy actually means for North Carolinians right now.Professor Joyner, who has spent decades studying civil rights and constitutional law, traces the history of voting rights expansion in North Carolina from the groundbreaking introduction of early voting in 1991 to the historic 2008 and 2012 turnout when Black voter participation outpaced white voter participation for the first time. But he also unpacks the ongoing attacks on those gains, from voter ID laws to the racial gerrymandering that has left one party controlling nearly 80% of our congressional delegation despite North Carolina being a 50-50 purple state.This episode breaks down what members of Congress, NC senators, and NC representatives actually do for everyday North Carolinians, not just the textbook definitions. From understanding provisional ballots to recognizing how gerrymandering in Congressional District 1 undermines fair representation, Professor Joyner explains why active participation matters now more than ever.As we enter a critical year with US House, US Senate, and NC General Assembly races on the ballot, this conversation is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the power they hold and the democracy they're fighting to protect.Support Democracy NC's work at demnc.co/donate and connect with us on Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.Support the showFollow us on all your favorite platforms!

Salazar, a five-time Emmy award-winning journalist, has a history of confronting powerful figures like Fidel Castro and Nicolás Maduro. She shares insights from her upbringing in Miami's Little Havana, emphasizing the impact of her Cuban refugee heritage and the importance of American values. Their conversation also covers the political situation in Venezuela, highlighting the need for stability and the role of American support in facilitating a democratic transition. Salazar criticizes Maduro as a puppet of Havana and discusses the challenges facing Venezuelan opposition leaders. Salazar's legislative focus includes The DIGNITY Act, which aims to reform immigration by providing a path to dignity for undocumented immigrants without granting citizenship. Her proposal seeks to secure the border, stabilize the labor force, and align with American values. The act emphasizes the importance of treating immigrants with dignity while addressing national security and economic needs. Salazar's book, "Dignity Not Citizenship," further explores these themes, advocating for a balanced approach to immigration reform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an exclusive interview in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to wrap up his nearly four-year-old invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskiy, the U.S. president said, was more reticent. “I think he's ready to make a deal,” Trump said of the Russian president. “I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.” Asked why U.S.-led negotiations had not yet resolved Europe's largest land conflict since World War Two, Trump responded: “Zelenskiy.”   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com  https://twitter.com/zeroDEIUSA/status/2011211989847326747?s=20  this point, dictated that Canada, Denmark, and NATO generally are allowed to sit on their collective asses vis a'vis Defense. Poland and Hungary are the exceptions since they rarely conform to WEF dictums. But we also know something else: This administration doesn't see the world and this hemisphere through a WEF lens. Those differences in world view, opinion, policy, and sense of urgency between America and our allies are bubbling up publicly. I don't think the friction is or will be inconsequential. In fact, I would posit that the hairline cracks we hear about, in terms of NATO cooperation and membership, will inevitably become full fledged fissures. There are any number of pressure points between this administration and our ANO's (allies in name only) most notably the UK. Saber rattling has become the norm in communiques from Germany, the UK, and the EU. Calls for a “European only” Army and Navy have come from the upper and middle echelons of the military in several NATO member nations in Europe. The Europeans are shocked and outraged by our statements and concerns about Greenland. Now I could be wrong; but it seems that NATO's members are viewing our actions in Venezuela as well as Trump's position that Ukraine is largely a Euro problem, and his vision that the “Donroe” doctrine should be a precursor to a solid military defense strategy as well as a strategic trading block composed by countries in the Western Hemisphere as an emerging existential threat. And indeed it is. We have all seen examples that, by now prove conclusively, that Trump and his advisers are some of the best “tea leaf” readers ever. I honestly think this administration sees the rapid cultural, political, and social deterioration in Europe (Germany, Austria, France, the UK) and other Western nations (Australia and NZ) as harbingers and not one off's. And as such, I believe Trump and his team have concluded that these EU countries have reached a point of no return in every measure that matters. I believe the head butting will, by the end of Trump's term, deteriorate or accelerate to locking horns with former allies and our eventual departure from them as a bloc in favor of the Western Hemisphere as a replacement block. The “Donroe” doctrine says as much. I believe Trump would prefer to capitalize on Geography. That is to say a land mass that stretches from the Arctic circle to the Antarctic circle with North America and South America in between. I believe he sees that as something America can control, protect, and develop. How this will play out, I'm not sure. But I believe he is quietly preparing an exit ramp for our departure from NATO per se. It will be interesting. He will leave office and hand this massive initiative to Vance and Rubio; confident in their judgment and ability to execute. Medical/False Flags President Trump Announces “The Great Healthcare Plan” President Donald J. Trump's Great Healthcare Plan is a broad healthcare initiative that will slash prescription drug prices, reduce insurance premiums, hold big insurance companies accountable, and maximize price transparency in the American healthcare system. This plan will deliver money directly to the American people, not insurance companies, big pharma and special interest groups—putting patients over industry leaders' profits, just as he promised. The Great Healthcare Plan also builds on the successes of his first term by promoting competition, eliminating wasteful spending, and putting consumers back in control.

The subject then fled on foot. The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg. All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside. The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody. This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota's top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers.

For the Minnesota scenario described in the post (involving federal agents and no mention of a state request), §§252 or 253 would likely apply, allowing action without state consent. Next Steps for InvocationIf President Trump decides to proceed, the process is straightforward but must follow statutory requirements. Here’s a step-by-step outline based on the law and historical precedents: Assess and Determine Applicability: The President (or advisors) evaluates whether the situation meets one of the Act’s criteria, such as rebellion against federal authority or obstructions to law enforcement. This is an internal executive decision, often informed by reports from agencies like DHS, DOJ, or DOD. No formal public step is required here, but it sets the legal justification.  Issue a Presidential Proclamation (§254): Before deploying forces, the President must publicly issue a proclamation ordering the “insurgents” or obstructors to disperse and return home peacefully within a specified time limit (e.g., hours or days). This serves as a formal warning and is a mandatory prerequisite under the law. The proclamation is typically published in the Federal Register and announced via White House channels.  Failure to issue this could make any deployment unlawful. Monitor Compliance and Issue an Executive Order for Deployment: If the proclamation is ignored, the President can issue an executive order authorizing the deployment of federal troops or federalizing the National Guard. This order specifies the scope, duration, and rules of engagement. Troops can then be mobilized to enforce laws, restore order, or protect federal operations (e.g., supporting ICE in this case). Deployment is not automatic upon invocation; it’s at the President’s discretion. Oversight and Termination: Once invoked, the deployment continues until the President determines the crisis is resolved. Congress can potentially override or limit it through legislation, but this is rare. The Act requires reporting to Congress “as soon as practicable” on the reasons and measures taken. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2011886917311414381?s=20 Republican Rep.

In a stunning 7-2 decision, the High Court ruled that Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL) has the legal standing to challenge Illinois's unconstitutional law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day. This ruling reverses the Seventh Circuit and sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois' late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits This is the game-changer we have been waiting for. For years, Democrats and their media allies have relied on “late-arriving ballots” to shift the results of elections days or even weeks after the polls close. We all remember what happened in 2020. We remember the “pauses” and the late-night spikes. But now, the Supreme Court has finally opened the floodgates for Republicans to sue to stop it. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made it clear: candidates have a “personal stake” in the rules governing their elections. This destroys the liberal argument that Republicans can't sue unless they can prove a specific fraudulent ballot cost them the race. The following states accept ballots that arrive late, as long as they have a valid postmark: Alaska California District of Columbia Illinois Maryland Massachusetts Mississippi Nevada New Jersey New York Oregon Texas (Note: Must be received by 5:00 PM the day after Election Day) Virginia Washington West Virginia Note on Territories: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam also typically accept late-arriving ballots if postmarked by Election Day. Several states that previously accepted late-arriving ballots have recently passed laws requiring ballots to be in the hands of election officials by the time polls close on Election Day, regardless of when they were mailed. Kansas (Changed in 2024/2025) North Dakota (Changed in 2025) Ohio (Changed in 2025) Utah (Changed in 2025) In all other states (e.g., Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona), your ballot must be received by the county election office by the close of polls on Election Day.

Meet Daniel Betts, a husband, father, defense attorney, and conservative Texan who is running to represent the state's 21st Congressional District. With more than 15 years of legal experience, Daniel has built his career defending constitutional rights and pushing back against government overreach, both in and out of the courtroom. Daniel sits down to share the personal and professional journey that led him into public service — from his early career as a chemist, which shaped his fact-driven approach to policy, to his work as a defense attorney focused on due process and accountability. He explains why issues like border security, public safety, evidence-based mental health treatment, and combating synthetic drugs such as fentanyl and meth are central to his campaign. In this episode, you will learn: Why Daniel is running for Congress in Texas's 21st District. How his legal background shapes his approach to government accountability. Why family, faith, and community should be foundations for public service. The importance of public safety, border security, and protecting constitutional rights. From defending individual liberties to strengthening communities across the Texas Hill Country, Daniel outlines a campaign grounded in facts, family, and service — and a vision for keeping Texas strong, free, and prepared for the future.

UConn commit Colben Landrew was unstoppable, dropping 26 points. Jaron Saulsberry added 17, and Amare James chipped in 16, including a half-court buzzer-beater that sparked Wheeler’s comeback. Cherokee started hot—Sean Hamilton’s seven-point run helped build a 20-6 lead. But Wheeler clawed back, outscoring the Warriors 26-12 in the second quarter and never looking back. FALCONS: Kirk Cousins and the Falcons just shook up his contract—again. According to reports, they’ve reworked the final two years of his four-year, $180 million deal, giving Atlanta some breathing room with the salary cap. But here’s the kicker: by March 13, 2026, they’ll have to decide if Cousins sticks around. Why? A $67.9 million guarantee for 2027 kicks in that day. And let’s be real—at 38, with a no-trade clause, Cousins isn’t exactly a hot commodity. The new deal slashes his 2026 base salary from $35 million to $2.1 million, shifting that cash to 2027. Still, he’s got a $10 million roster bonus locked in for next year. Atlanta signed Cousins in 2024 with $100 million guaranteed, then drafted Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. But when Penix tore his ACL, Cousins stepped in, starting seven games. His numbers? Solid-ish: 1,721 yards, 10 TDs, five picks. Not bad for a guy nearing 40.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports another state is joining the redistricting battle.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 6, 2026. 0:30 Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is under fire after unleashing profanity-laced attacks on the U.S. Supreme Court following its decision to allow Texas to temporarily use its Republican-drawn congressional map. The Court issued a procedural stay—not a ruling on the merits—so Texas elections can move forward while redistricting lawsuits continue. Crockett’s outburst isn’t legal criticism but political theater, especially ironic for someone claiming sharp legal credentials while running for U.S. Senate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Congress is working on a series of spending bills designed to avert a second government shutdown. Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa died this week.LaMalfa had represented the 1st Congressional District in California since 2013. A former Georgia State Lawmaker has been indicted for COVID relief fund fraud.Democrat State Rep Karen Bennett announced in December that she was resigning her position in the Georgia House. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 New White House data shows President Trump spoke more than 2.57 million transcribed words last year and spent roughly 74% of his public time directly answering press questions, reinforcing claims he’s the most accessible president in U.S. history. Trump is dominating the bandwidth, bypassing legacy media and delivering his message straight to the public—even while sparring with hostile reporters. This constant engagement has blunted fake news narratives and weakened deep-state leaks that plagued his first term. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dig into whether social skills and personal responsibility are being sacrificed as elite colleges expand disability accommodations. The conversation points to reports claiming up to 38% of students at top universities identify as disabled, raising concerns about loopholes, academic advantages, and a growing culture of victimhood. The Mamas contrast today’s mindset with the pride and resilience of the Greatest Generation, arguing that hardship once built character, not special treatment. They warn that intelligence without ethics—and incentives to game the system—creates long-term consequences for society. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Joe Biden is set to receive the largest presidential pension in U.S. history—about $417,000 a year, paid by taxpayers. All while Americans rely on modest Social Security checks and delay retirement because of inflation and rising costs. Longevity in government, not merit or performance, is what drives massive pensions and perks in Washington. 27:00 Seattle and its new socialist leadership moved to stop prosecuting drug possession and public drug use, diverting offenders into social services instead of jail. The policy mirrors a failed 2021 experiment that coincided with nearly 2,000 overdose deaths in Seattle over two years. Abandoning law and order doesn’t reduce poverty or addiction, but accelerates crime, death, and urban decay—especially hurting working-class communities. Just another example of socialism ignoring recent history and real-world consequences in major U.S. cities. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down the Democrat hypocrisy over Venezuela. Democrats publicly demanded Nicolas Maduro’s removal for years and even backed multimillion-dollar bounties on his arrest. But once President Trump ordered decisive military action to capture Maduro, critics on the left suddenly condemned the operation as unlawful or politically motivated. Senator John Fetterman is a rare Democrat acknowledging the reality of the situation. 36:00 111 officers died in the line of duty in 2025, the lowest number in more than 80 years. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, that total represents a 25% drop from 2024 and a dramatic decline from the peak in 2021. Stronger leadership, better policing practices, and a renewed emphasis on officer safety and wellness under the Trump administration drastically reduced the number of deaths. Law and order can directly impact crime, officer safety, and public respect for police. 39:30 And we reflect on January 6 with new revelations that challenge the long-standing narrative, including reports of FBI plainclothes agents in the crowd and withheld video evidence. Many January 6 defendants had their constitutional rights violated when exculpatory footage was not turned over to defense attorneys. We also revisit President Trump’s request to deploy the National Guard and Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to authorize it. Taken together, the official January 6 story is unraveling as more facts emerge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down massive anti-regime protests in Iran and whether the ruling mullahs are finally in real danger, the death of a Republican congressman that tightens the GOP's already slim House majority, and the absurd congressional quest of George Conway.First, they cheer on the widespread protests erupting across Iran after the country's currency suffered a staggering collapse in value. Jim and Greg examine whether this latest wave of unrest has a better chance of toppling the regime than past uprisings, or if the theocratic government will once again respond with brutal crackdowns to stay in power.Next, they mourn the passing of Republican California Rep. Doug LaMalfa, a strong conservative who died at the age of 65. Combined with Monday's resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Republicans are left with an even narrower majority. Jim and Greg discuss how that complicates life for GOP leadership and criticize lawmakers who walk away from their seats mid-term for reasons other than serious health issues or scandal.Next, they mourn the passing of Republican California Rep.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin don't need a hastily prepared PVC pipe and black draped tent to deliver the action KITM listeners crave.  Today's apocalyptic earth-shattering black-swan event is the abduction of the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Nobody is really certain why we did it. Maybe Maduro is involved with Jeffrey Epstein, or the Nobel Prize committee? Maybe he just wanted to piss off Marjorie Taylor Green one last time? Maybe war with Venezuela was a campaign promise? Did a tariff payment check bounce? You know, Maduro was asking for it… a lot of people are asking for it... One thing is certain. It sure is fun to watch stuff blow up. Trump wanted Zero Dark Thirty and Delta Force delivered. Delivered clicks, that is, and what's more important than that? Everybody's wondering, "Where does this franchise go from here?" The possibilities are endless, but time is of the essence, as cheap overseas knockoffs are already in the works. Now, you are probably asking yourself, "Hey, remember Venezuela? What's happening with those guys?" Well, that's yesterday's news. Somebody down there surely has a handle on it. Marco or Stephen will check in later this week to look in on them or something. Right now, it's doing everything Trump needs it to.  If not, someone should expect to see a nasty email or drone arrive soon with their name on it. Of course, all of this is perfectly legal. In fact, it is illegal to say that it is illegal, that's how legal it is. Meanwhile, let's pretend that we still have a democracy. Tim Walz is taking time off from being an assassination target to spend more time with his family, opening the door for Amy Klobuchar to run for Governor. Amy has been preparing for this moment. California also still exists, and Matt Ortega is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 14th Congressional District. 

Join us in this episode as Brian Stahl, Republican candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Texas' 6th Congressional District, shares his journey from law enforcement to politics – and his vision for a safer, stronger community… Brian is a Christian, husband, father, and lifelong public servant. With over two decades in law enforcement, he has protected Texas families in a variety of roles, from field training officer and undercover narcotics officer to SWAT team member, air support officer, firearms instructor, and HSI task force officer. In this conversation, we discuss: The difference between local and federal political processes.  Why Brian is so passionate about running for the 6th District of Texas. How serving in law enforcement has shaped Brian's political perspective.  The difference between local and federal political processes, and why it matters. Brian's vision for a government that is accountable, transparent, and community-centered. Tune in to learn how service, integrity, and commitment guide Brian Stahl's mission –  and what he hopes to achieve in Congress. To keep up with his campaign, visit Stahlfortexas.com!

The past year delivered a lot of big surprises and Rep. Jared Golden's sudden decision to abandon his reelection bid was among them. Maine Public chief politics correspondent Steve Mistler and fellow politics correspondent Kevin Miller recently sat down with Rep. Jared Golden for a lengthy conversation about the factors that led to his decision.During the conversation, he spoke about the warring factions within the Democratic Party; how some Democrats refuse to recognize the electoral realities of the 2nd Congressional District that he represents; and yes, about that infamous column he wrote before the 2024 election that made so many Democrats angry. He also had a few things to say about why he drew a primary challenger this year from former Secretary of State Matt Dunlap.
