It's been a long summer, but Leah, Kate and Melissa are back together to break down the biggest cases and legal battles coming to the Supreme Court this term. Starting in October, the justices will hear challenges involving AR-15s and semi-automatic rifles, religious exemptions for schools receiving government funding, and the latest redistricting fights in Missouri and the 8th Circuit. Plus, Trump's big arch updates and allegations that a government contractor illegally funneled nearly $200,000 to a Susan Collins super PAC. Then, Melissa sits down with National Association of Black Journalists President and Crooked's Long Play cohost Errin Haines to discuss news outlets suing the President over press access. After, Leah talks to Columbia graduate and author Mahmoud Khalil about his new book, No Land to Stand On, the administration's crackdown on pro-Palestinian speech, and the treatment of people in ICE custody.

On today's show, Jane talks with Galen Druke, co-host of Crooked's new podcast, Still Counting, about what he's seeing in the latest polling and what it could mean for November.Show Notes: Check out Still Counting – youtube.com/@StillCountingPodcast Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com
This week, Nish & Coco are left reeling from the news that Tom Watson is the latest in a long line of politicians swapping the ballot box for big tech bucks. They consider the implications of Palantir's cosy relationship with former government officials, and ask where the line is with lobbying. Also, we're joined by 33.3% of the hosts of Crooked's new podcast, ‘Still Counting' - Galen Druke. He demystifies all things polls, explaining the methodology in the madness and how much we can learn from all these numbers. Plus, have you ever wondered who's the most optimistic about fighting a bear? And, Coco & Nish reunite with Nikesh Shukla, ten years after the publication of The Good Immigrant. They consider the role identity politics has played in the last decade, and how we can stay optimistic–and active–members of our communities during increasingly scary times.

Less than two months before the midterms, the Supreme Court made a shockingly good decision and rejected a Trump rule that would have restricted mail-in ballots and possibly disenfranchised millions of voters. But Trump and Republicans are not done messing with the integrity of America's elections. This week, Alex is joined by Janai Nelson, President and Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund, to discuss the gargantuan effort to defeat Trump's executive order on mail-in voting. Then she's joined by Kate Shaw, co-host of Crooked's Strict Scrutiny, to talk about the desperate need for Supreme Court reform, and how we ended up in this right wing nightmare of a justice system.Pre-order Alex's new book, The Steal: Four Right-Wing Hard-Liners, One Republican Presidency, and The Raid On America's Courts and subscribe to her Substack here.Hate listening to ads?

In the conclusion of the Stuck in a Moment series, Pastor Scott Engebretson explores Ecclesiastes 1:12–18 and 12:8–14to break down the limits of human wisdom and knowledge (Hokema). When we live purely with an "under the sun" perspective—relying solely on worldly information, self-effort, and human intellect—we eventually hit a wall of cynicism and painful helplessness. Access to more information in a modern world often brings more sorrow when we realize we lack the power to fix broken systems, tragedies, or our own mistakes. However, the narrator of Ecclesiastes offers a vital, hope-filled critique to the teacher's heavy reflections: there is a God beyond the sun who actively breaks into our reality. True wisdom isn't just about accumulating data, but living in proper awe, reverence, and obedience before our Creator. Where human effort fails, the God who restores and judges can step into our chaos, heal our brokenness, and make the crooked things straight.

Appreciating the Value of Imperfect Produce.Through years of culinary experience, I have observed that nature rarely produces flawless food. Many of the finest ingredients I have used are those commonly discarded. Crooked carrots often possess greater sweetness, and a scarred heirloom tomato typically offers more flavor and character than any visually perfect hothouse tomato I have encountered.I emphasize this lesson daily at my cooking school. Upon arrival, students are presented with two boxes: one containing uniform, visually appealing produce from a premium grocery store, and another filled with what the industry terms "ugly" or "imperfect" fruits and vegetables, which may be misshapen, blemished, small, or unusually colored. When asked to choose, most students select the more attractive produce. However, after tasting both, they are consistently surprised to discover that the so-called ugly produce is equally flavorful, if not superior. Crooked carrots tend to be sweeter, blemished tomatoes offer richer taste, and irregularly shaped apples are often more aromatic. This exercise demonstrates that appearance does not determine quality. As a chef, I am disheartened by the waste of edible food. My career is founded on respecting ingredients and recognizing the inherent value of food. Discarding edible produce is not only economically unsound; it undermines the fundamental principles of cooking. When I witness a perfectly edible eggplant discarded solely due to its shape, I see the potential for nourishing meals and culinary creativity.At my school, I am committed to teaching students how to utilize ingredients that are often disregarded. Our curriculum includes a dedicated section titled "The Blemish Kitchen." Each week, I purchase imperfect produce from local farmers who might otherwise dispose of it. This practice provides farmers with additional income and allows my students to access ingredients at reduced costs. I transfer these savings to students, as I believe that culinary education should remain accessible.The techniques I teach are straightforward yet impactful. For example, a bruised apple can be transformed into a smooth compote for pastries, while wilting greens become a vibrant pesto. Potatoes rejected by retailers due to their shape roast to a crisp, golden finish, consistently surprising students with their quality. I provide practical guidance, such as removing damaged areas with a sharp knife, peeling or slicing to access the usable portions, and employing creative presentation methods like chopping for stews or incorporating into soups to mask irregular shapes. My goal is for students to appreciate the value of every ingredient and recognize that they can reduce grocery expenses by up to 30 percent. It is unnecessary to rely on national delivery services to obtain imperfect produce. I encourage students to explore local farmers' markets, where discounted, high-quality but visually imperfect produce is often available. Some small grocers maintain a "seconds" section for slightly blemished items, and many farms offer weekly community boxes containing surplus or cosmetically flawed produce. Students benefit from engaging with growers and discovering local sources for these bargains. Several have returned to class enthusiastic about the quantity and affordability of food acquired, with one student reporting savings of over fifty dollars in a single week by choosing imperfect produce for family meals.However, this lesson extends beyond financial savings. By teaching students about imperfect produce, I also address sustainability. Food waste in landfills generates methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide. Selecting blemished fruit prevents edible food from entering landfills and supports farmers facing challenges in selling imperfect crops. Complete Content HereChef Walters Podcasts

Donald Trump just got one step closer to stealing the next election. The Senate confirms a new head of National Intelligence: former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton — a man who won't say who won the 2020 election. This week, Alex looks into whether or not Trump will try to steal the midterms. She's first joined by Errin Haines, an Atlanta native, editor at large at The 19th, author of the Amendment newsletter, and co-host of Crooked's newest show, Long Play, to talk about Georgia: the state Trump has focused his most intense efforts of election interference. Then Alex speaks with Joy Reid, host of The Joy Reid Show, to try and get a handle on Trump's latest efforts to subvert the election and figure out how prepared we really are.Hate listening to ads?

Challenging the Crooked Establishment in Sicily. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. The Roman Republic's political landscape was heavily influenced by money, a reality exemplified by the case of Verres. Verres was the governor of Sicily, the vital "breadbasket" of Rome, where he systematically plundered art and embezzled funds. Although Cicero usually preferred defense work to earn favors, he made a strategic decision to prosecute Verres on behalf of the Sicilians. This choice was influenced by a shifting political tide and the support of powerful figures like Pompey, who wanted a symbolic cleanup of government corruption. Verres was a well-connected billionaire and a former follower of the dictator Sulla, making the prosecution a high-risk endeavor for Cicero. Cicero positioned himself as a crusading outsider fighting against a "crooked establishment" to protect the interests of the Roman people. By taking on this case, Cicero aimed to prove that he could challenge the most entrenched members of the Senate. This trial solidified his image as a hero of the law who was willing to confront the wealthy and powerful when he had the necessary political backing. 2CARTHAGE
