Podcasts about Democratic Senate

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin with more fallout from Graham Platner's infamous Nazi tattoo, fueled now by his "sexting" scandal. Audio from MSNOW and NPR indicates Dems are beginning to realize the gravity of what this man truly represents to his party. Also President Trump's May 2025 executive orders have resulted in a productive year for nuclear power, audio from Senator Chris Murphy in 2024 on 'Face The Nation' lying about the impact of the Biden administration, and Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt agreed last Thursday that Texas' Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico needs to walk back his past comments if he wants to win in the Lone Star State.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including Paris erupting into riots, fires, vandalism, and mass arrests after Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League victory against Arsenal as French authorities deployed 22,000 police officers to contain chaos across the city; growing questions surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner after mounting scandals involving alleged Nazi-linked tattoos, resurfaced social media posts, and explicit text messages sparked speculation Democrats could eventually replace him before November; and the broader debate over political double standards, law and order, and why major Western cities increasingly seem unable to control public unrest, and much more.

Congress returns from recess with several unresolved items on the agenda. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and Dasha Burns walk through the stalled immigration spending bill, an upcoming war powers vote, and the mood among some Republican senators following the Texas primary. Then, a Democratic Senate primary in Iowa tomorrow and what it signals about Chuck Schumer's role as a Democratic leader. Plus: the latest on Iran negotiations, which remain at a standstill.

Today's show connects three volatile threads: a heated South Carolina governor's race shaped by a late Trump endorsement, a series of political scandals driving national outrage narratives, and escalating international conflict involving Iran, Israel, and U.S. military action. Layered underneath it all is a broader argument about power, institutions, and ideological division across the U.S. and abroad.

Deal talks continue, but so do the strikes. The U.S. and Iran exchange new attacks even as President Donald Trump sends revised terms back to Tehran. Plus, Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner pushes back against reports about his personal life, but his response has drawn very different reactions from some of the party's biggest names. And Trump thinks he has a solution to a concert lineup problem. After several performers pull out of a major America 250 celebration, the president volunteers a replacement that only he could propose. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Monday, June 1, 2026.

May 30, 2026, 8 AM; Trump pulled off a clean sweep in Republican primary battles, driving out or sidelining candidates he deems insufficiently loyal. However, as Republicans look ahead to the general, Trump says the midterms are the least of his concerns amid negotiations with Iran. Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign says it raised $3M in just 24 hours after Ken Paxton's runoff victory. President and CEO of Voto Latino Maria Teresa Kumar and Dave Weigel join The Weekend to discuss the upcoming Texas Senate election in November. Rep. Jim Clyburn also joins The Weekend to discuss Republicans' redistricting campaign and offers some advice to the Democratic party.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Sen. Susan Collins clashing with Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner over the Iraq War, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham claiming Democrats don't need men's votes to win elections, and the unraveling of the Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall.First, Jim and Greg break down the comments of Sen. Susan Collins and Democrat challenger Graham Platner after Platner accused Collins of voting to send him to die in Iraq. They applaud Collins for clearly correcting the record and welcome a Wall Street Journal column from the Purple Heart recipient whom Platner said he wished had died during the war.Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.Then, they react to comments from New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who told Democrats that if enough Democrat women vote, they won't need support from men to win elections. Jim and Greg consider what Lujan Grisham is really saying here and the massive media double standard that comes with it.Finally, they cringe as the majority of artists withdraw from an already lackluster lineup of Freedom 250 concerts on the National Mall starting next month. Jim and Greg have some fun discussing some of the names that were on the schedule but note how this news is also a reflection of how divisive our nation is right now.Please visit out great sponsors:OneSkinFor a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday.

On today's Daily Detroit, we start the week with a conversation with State Senator — and Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful — Mallory McMorrow. It's the third in our series of Democratic Senate candidate interviews, and we're focused squarely on what federal power could actually mean for Detroit, Metro Detroit, and Michigan. McMorrow talks about why she first Googled "how to run for office" after the 2016 election, and why she frames governing as a design challenge to build policy that improves people's lives. She talked about an approach to ieconomic development that feels less like "Lucy and the football" and more like real, ground‑up regional growth — including transit as economic development, and keeping young people from leaving the state. From there, the conversation moves to the auto industry and EVs, competition from China, and why she wants incentives that grow talent and clusters of jobs instead of focusing on chasing megaprojects. We also touch on affordability: gas prices, housing, childcare, and McMorrow's push to scale ideas like universal pre‑K, free school meals, more housing production, paid leave, and cracking down on scammy online ads. You'll also hear her vision on healthcare access, expanding Michigan's red flag law approach to the federal level, and supporting Detroit‑grown community violence intervention. And because this is Daily Detroit, they close with some city love — from classic Michigan license plates helping fix roads to her favorite spots around town.  We'll be at the Mackinac Policy Conference all week, so be sure to check your podcast feeds and inboxes for updates.  Constructive feedback as always: 313-789-3211 or dailydetroit -at- gmail -dot- com.

Kevin O'Leary struck a nerve with younger internet users when he called out indulgent lunch expenditures, but does he have a point, or is it just more “boomer slop” (as Tinfoil Pat puts it)? Will and The Crew are joined by Barstool's Jack Mac, Host of 'Unpack With Jack Mac,' to break down the internet's outrage over Mr. Wonderful's concerns surrounding Gen Z's financial habits, before taking a look at yet another heater to come out of Maine's Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's Reddit account.

© Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com On our political radar this week… The $200-million, privately funded Trump desecration of the White House has morphed into a $1-billion project … with taxpayers picking up the tab. While the White House focused on the ballroom, taking over DC Golf Courses, repainting the reflecting pool, details of the White House UFC fight on July 4,  and signage at the newly renamed Donald J. Trump International Airport in West Palm Beach, Michigan Democrats maintained their slim majority in the state Senate with a landslide special election victory in the Saginaw Valley. Chedrick Greene did what Democrats have been doing for a year: outperformed 2024's numbers by a stunning 20-point margin.   In Indiana, Trump's vengeance … amplified by around $14-million … has purged 5 Republicans from that state's Senate as penance for daring to defy Trump's imperial decree: a reminder that Trump's Republican Party is a cult of servility – or else. The Trump bank account continues to grow, with nepo-grifters Don Jr. and Eric landing a multi-million-dollar contract from Daddy's Department of Defense. They've very quickly become successful entrepreneurs in the military drone business as a supplement to their hawking of worthless meme coins and cashing in on Daddy’s power/name/greed. The Michigan Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the battle over Michigan MAGA House Speaker Matt Hall's refusal to follow the state constitution when it comes to sending bills passed by the Legislature to the Governor to enact into law has a Supreme Court hearing. The state Senate is the plaintiff and their lead attorney: the honorable Mr. Mark Brewer Esquire. In the race for the Democrats' U.S. Senate nomination, Haley Stevens picked up two significant endorsements: retired 4-term U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, and the wife of the man she wants to succeed, Senator Gary Peters (who has said he will not endorse in the primary). All three Democratic Senate candidates are set to participate in a forum on the Pod Save America podcast, scheduled to air May 24. The podcast reaches around 1.5 million listeners … slightly more than this podcast! Republicans are claiming that Jocelyn Benson can't be trusted to run the November election because her name is on the ballot. One problem with their rhetoric: the elections are run by local clerks and the Board of State Canvassers, not the Secretary of State. Benson doesn't participate in validating signatures on nominating petitions or certifying the results and has taken the additional step of formally establishing a firewall between her and administration of the election. Not to be outdone in the “ignorance on display sweepstakes”, Trump has called for the impeachment and/or indictment of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Impeaching House members isn't a thing. It's one more word salad from the mouth of someone a majority of Americans think is lacking the mental sharpness to do the job. Trump held his first post-Correspondants' Dinner campaign-style rally … at the friendly turf of The Villages retirement community in central Florida. Speaking to a crowd of supportive retirees, he and his fellow TV celebrity Dr. Phil repeated one of his many lies regarding the horrendous Big Ugly Budget Bill, claiming he had ended taxes on Social Security while standing in front of a backdrop making the same bogus claim. Spoiler alert: it's not true. What passed was a three-year, $ 6,000 tax deduction for seniors. It expires at the end of Trump's term!

On this Politics Day, political scientists Donna Hoffman of the University of Northern Iowa and Jonathan Hassid of Iowa State University dissect the debate between Democrat Senate hopefuls Josh Turek and Zach Wahls.

Zach Nunn and the Iowa Secretary of State's choice to turn over voter data to the Trump administration.

Is this the tipping point in American politics? ⚡ HOOK (Opening Tease) What happens when political maps get redrawn… and the system itself starts unraveling?

Something has been happening in Michigan politics that deserves the attention of everyone who cares about the health of American democracy. And, as they so often are, the Jews are at the center of events. Taking root in Michigan is a specific and serious ideological threat—Islamism—that is gaining influence inside the Democratic party. This is a story about what happens when that influence is unnamed, accommodated, and finally normalized. And it is a story with major national implications. Muslim Americans serve in the U.S. military, teach in schools, build businesses, raise families, and love this country. Presumably, most Muslim citizens of America see their futures as bound up with the future of this republic, with no sympathy for those who would undermine it. But a radical Islamic political ideology has taken hold in specific institutions, among them the Michigan Democratic party. In March of this year, a Hizballah-inspired attacker drove a truck into the largest Reform synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, when over a hundred children were inside. Two weeks later, the Michigan Democrats held their statewide convention, and the incumbent Jewish regent of the University of Michigan—a man whose home had been attacked, whose family had been terrorized—was denied renomination and replaced by a Dearborn attorney who had praised Hizballah on social media. The leading candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination excused the synagogue attacker. And the pro-Israel Senate candidate was booed by delegates when she addressed the Jewish Voters Caucus. To discuss this growing threat, our guest this week is Jesse Arm, who grew up in West Bloomfield and is now a vice-president at the Manhattan Institute. This week's episode of the Tikvah Podcast is generously sponsored by Dr. Michael Schmerin and family.

Federal Election Commission filings for the first quarter of 2026 showed that billionaires Miriam Adelson and George Soros were the biggest donors backing GOP and Democratic super PACs, respectively, ahead of this year's midterms, while billionaire Marc Andreessen's venture capital firm poured $25 million into a pro-artificial intelligence Super PAC. KEY FACTS According to the filings published on Wednesday night, GOP megadonor Adelson donated $30 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the major super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates. Filings made by the GOP-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund—which backs GOP House candidates—showed Adelson had given the super PAC $10 million, bringing her overall contribution to $40 million so far this year. Billionaire George Soros, one of the biggest backers of Democratic candidates, donated $50 million to his Democracy PAC in January through an associated group, the Fund for Policy Reform. The Democracy PAC then donated $9 million to Senate Majority PAC—which backs Democratic Senate candidates. FORBES VALUATION According to Forbes' Real Time Billionaire's list, Adelson's total fortune is worth $37.3 billion, making her the 58th richest person in the world. In comparison Soros' net worth stands at $7.5 billion as of Thursday morning. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FUNDING FROM SILICON VALLEY ?Leaders from Silicon Valley launched the pro-AI super PAC Leading the Future in August last year, with venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz among its main backers. Wednesday's filings showed that the venture firm donated $25 million to the political action committee, with $12.5 million each coming from co-founders Benjamin Horowitz and billionaire Marc Andreessen. BIG NUMBER $27 million. That is how much Democratic Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico has raised in the first three months of the year so far, according to the New York Times. Talarico's strong numbers appear to reflect Democratic optimism about the race in deep-red Texas, as the GOP has been besieged by infighting among its top two candidates. SURPRISING FACT Filings for a Win for America, a super PAC backed by sports betting platforms, showed it raised more than $40 million in the first three months of the year. FanDuel contributed $19.5 million while DraftKings' holding company, DK Crown Holdings, donated 17.5 million. An additional $4 million came from Fanatics' subsidiary FBG Enterprises Opco.

The Cook Political Report has shifted four Senate races toward Democrats, making a Democratic Senate majority a real possibility this fall. With seats in Maine, Ohio, Alaska, North Carolina, and Iowa now in play, the math is moving in Democrats' favor, and the stakes could not be higher when it comes to blocking Supreme Court picks and shutting down Trump's judicial appointments. Eric Swalwell is done. His accusers sat down with Nora O'Donnell on CBS Mornings in their first on-camera interview, detailing a years-long pattern of grooming, manipulation, and coercion targeting young staffers. Swalwell denied sexual assault but left nearly every other allegation unanswered, and he is now under criminal investigation in New York. Attorney Cheyenne Hunt helped these women connect and come forward, and more accusers continue to emerge. Viktor Orban lost his grip on Hungary, replaced by Peter Magyar, who is already signaling that Orban's use of Hungarian state funds to support CPAC may have been criminal. With Putin losing allies including Orban, Khamenei, and the Venezuelan government, the global authoritarian network is fracturing. On CNBC, Joe Kernan invited Rand Paul to discuss ICE's use of administrative warrants in place of judicial warrants to enter homes without a judge's signature, a direct violation of Fourth Amendment protections that apply to everyone on U.S. soil regardless of immigration status. The conversation went just as badly for Kernan as his earlier interview with Pete Buttigieg.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the explosive scandal engulfing California Rep. Eric Swalwell and its impact on the governor's race, escalating tensions after failed U.S.-Iran negotiations, and the growing controversy surrounding a Democratic Senate candidate's disturbing past.First, parental discretion is advised, as Jim and Greg dig into the details and fallout of four different women accusing Rep. Swalwell of sexual misconduct ranging from rape to sending and requesting explicit photos. Multiple lawmakers and reporters say none of this comes as a surprise about Swalwell. So why did the Democrats decide to kick Swalwell to the curb noe when they've known about him for years?Next, they react to the U.S. and Iran failing to reach a deal to end their six-week war through negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend. In response, President Trump is blockading the Strait of Hormuz and key Iranian ports. What does this mean for the war and your wallet/Then, they react to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner blaming his Nazi Totenkopf tattoo and past inflammatory comments about rape on what he calls a hyper-masculine military culture. But he says he has much different views now. Jim and Greg are not buying it at all.Finally, Democrats forced Swalwell out of the California governor's race, but they're somehow conflicted about whether he should stay in Congress. Jim and Greg predict whether he will be forced out or allowed to finish his term.Please visit our great sponsors:Prioritize restorative sleep with a mattress made just for you from Brooklyn Bedding—go to https://BrooklynBedding.com and use promo code 3ML for 30% off sitewide.When life feels overwhelming, find your balance again with BetterHelp—sign up at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML to get 10% off.New episodes every weekday. 

The leader of the Republican National Committee knows he will have to defy history to defend President Donald Trump in Texas and beyond as Democrats vow to retake control of the U.S. House. In an exclusive interview with Texas Take host Jeremy Wallace, RNC chair Joe Gruters said he knows almost every president over the 150 years has lost seats in Congress during midterm elections. But the GOP has to overcome the odds in order to save Trump from an endless stream of investigations and impeachment hearings during his final two years in office. “We have no other option. We have to win,” Gruters said. A big part of that mission is Texas. With the GOP national convention scheduled for Houston in 2028 and a potential midterm convention in Dallas this year, Gruters has been in Texas a lot, preparing to fight Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico and other threats to Trump's legacy up and down the ballot in the Lone Star State.

Texas held its primary elections yesterday, and Attorney General Ken Paxton and incumbent John Cornyn will be going to a runoff. However, President Trump says one of them should drop out.

The two discuss new polls showing Platner leading Janet Mills in the Democratic Senate primary, how his tattoo controversy has resonated with Maine voters, and what he wants to change about the Democratic Party to rebuild a winning, working-class coalition.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
