Podcasts about Election day

This week, New York City sent letters to 17,000 homeowners who may have to pay a non-primary residence tax, or pied-à-terre tax, starting next year. The tax played a role in closing the city's budget deficit earlier this year and helped Mayor Zohran Mamdani deliver on his campaign promise of taxing the rich. But some city homeowners are blasting this week's notification rollout, calling it "sloppy." NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Bernadette Hogan break down the backlash. After that, the race for governor is on with less than 100 days until Election Day. The "Off Topic" team checks in on where things stand between candidates Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and what voters can expect as they prepare to head to the polls.

(Courtesy Administration for Native Americans for Children & Families) U.S. Rep Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) introduced two bills this week to modernize the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) and potentially bring higher teacher salaries and more federal funding for tribal schools. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) has more. The Indigenous Students Excel through Parity Act and its supporting Act II bill would create a study under the Department of Interior (DOI) to recommend reforms in order to provide funds that could increase teacher pay, and provide more educational opportunities. An identical bill is sponsored in the Senate by U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). DOI administers BIE, which funds 183 schools across the country. New Mexico has one of the highest concentrations of BIE-funded schools with 44. Despite this, Rep. Stansbury says BIE schools have traditionally been underfunded, but they are competing with state-funded schools to recruit teachers. “So what this bill would do is study the current formula funds that are allocated per student to these tribally controlled schools to evaluate one how to increase funding per student, how to address increasing teacher and staff pay, and how to make sure that those schools who have extra costs and needs can have their needs met.” Stansbury says the goal of the bills is to bring teacher salaries in tribal schools up to the same level as those in state-funded schools. “If you’re a teacher, I mean, think about it, and you really want to work in a tribal community, whether you are a Native person yourself or not. And you’re looking at the difference of getting paid, let’s say, $50,000 by the federal government versus going and teaching in APS (Albuquerque Public Schools) making $60,000, you know, you’re going to have to make that economic decision for yourself and your family, and so we don’t want teachers to have to make that decision. We want teachers to be teaching in the schools they want to.” The proposed bill does not have a cost included with it, but if the study recommendations are enacted, BIE would have to boost funding for tribal schools.

(Photos: Jason Biggs / courtesy Jaynie Parrish) The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day can still be counted. While the move is a win for Arizona’s Indigenous voters, it highlights the challenges Native people still face in rural parts of the state, as Mark Moran reports. Voting rights advocates say the debate highlights the challenges Native people face in trying to submit a ballot in person. The sheer geography, vast distances between physical polling places, and lack of transportation all present obstacles for Indigenous voters. In many places, the nearest polling place may be miles away, but Arizona Native Vote’s Jaynie Parrish says many people on reservations also lack physical addresses, which creates its own set of problems. “Even in some rural towns, they have physical addressing, but not on a lot of Tribal lands. We still predominantly use PO boxes. That means we have to go to a U.S. Post Office or another location to pick up mail, but our folks still vote by mail.” The Trump administration has pushed back on the high court’s ruling, asking justices to allow the president’s executive order to be implemented. The attempt to reject mail-in ballots received after Election Day is among a host of bold policy choices under the Trump administration. Parrish also points to efforts to challenge voter citizenship, which she says hit especially hard on Native reservations. “It’s just absurd. You get a look on people’s face when we have to explain this or when they hear about the news or what this means, and it’s another barrier. And it’s ridiculous to ask First Peoples, Indigenous Peoples of their citizenship.” According to research from the Brennan Center, Indigenous voters were about 7% less likely to cast their ballot by mail in the last General Election, reflecting a wider lack of participation among Natives.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Dr. Fauci's bizarre diary criticism of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that DeSantis takes as a 'badge of honor.' They also consider GOP concerns about low voter enthusiasm in key states heading into the midterms, intensifying demands from Kentucky's governor for proof that Sen. Mitch McConnell can still do his job, and whether a "sore loser" law could cause more upheaval in the Maine U.S. Senate race.First, they react to Anthony Fauci blasting Gov. DeSantis in August 2021 for blocking local mask mandates in schools. DeSantis was among the first governors to re-open their states in the spring of 2020, which also drew Fauci's ire. DeSantis was right both times and his victory lap is well-earned.Next, they grimace as personnel from the right-leaning Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) are reporting lackluster enthusiasm from reliable Republican voters in the Des Moines, Iowa, suburbs. They say the same is true in other battleground states. Inflation and the economy are the biggest reasons. Jim and Greg point out that there isn't much time to change their minds before Election Day.Then, they report on the latest proof-of-life photo and written statement from Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell. There is still no timetable for his return to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear says McConnell needs to offer a lot more proof of his ability to do the job or resign. Jim and Greg also explain how the calendar plays a big role in this standoff.Finally, they get a kick out of an effort to toss the new Maine Democratic Senate candidate off the ballot over "sore loser" laws. Troy Jackson lost the Democrat primary for governor before the party chose him to replace Graham Platner. Jim and Greg explain the laws and why the challenge probably won't succeed.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin Summer Bundles with promo code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3mlQuoMoney is on the line.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 24, 2026. We open with California's mail-in ballot system — and the 150,000 ballots rejected in the June primary as invalid. Out of 8.5 million ballots returned, nearly 94,000 arrived too late and another 50,000 failed signature verification. We connect it to the Los Angeles mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt held second place in ballots received before Election Day — and then mysteriously dropped to third as post-Election Day ballots arrived and a democratic socialist surged from third to first. We explain why California's system — which mails ballots to every registered voter, accepts them up to seven days after Election Day, and allows signature corrections after the fact — is designed for maximum permissiveness rather than maximum integrity. We also note that the pressure from Trump's DOJ is producing results: states are now publicly acknowledging ballot problems they would have quietly buried before. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump issued new tariffs on 60 countries — including Canada, Mexico, the UK, and EU members — based on a new legal justification targeting forced labor in supply chains, after the Supreme Court struck down his prior tariff authority earlier this year. Then four Somali immigrants in Minnesota pled guilty to defrauding Medicaid out of millions by using AI to fabricate patient notes for medical visits that never happened, billing the government for fictional services through a fake company called Brilliant Minds Services LLC. And the Democratic Party announced its 2028 primary schedule — placing South Carolina first because of its higher proportion of Black voters, a state Democrats haven't won in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. We call it what it is: racial politics dressed up as party reform. We also cover the man who disguised himself as a police officer and murdered Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband in a politically motivated attack — sentenced this week to life in prison. We say plainly: political violence cannot be given an inch, regardless of who commits it or who the targets are. What happens in Mexico — where candidates are killed and hung from bridges — cannot be allowed to happen here. We dig deep into a congressional reform proposal with two straightforward components that somehow don't already exist. First, ban members of Congress from having sexual relationships with congressional staffers — including colleagues' staffers, not just their own. Second, require FBI background checks for all House employees within 30 days of starting work, plus a foreign influence disclosure form requiring staffers to reveal any contracts or payments from foreign governments within the past three years. We explain why both of these are urgent: active investigations currently implicate congressional staffers as potential agents of Qatar, China, and Cuba — multiple cases involving China and Cuba alone. Congressional staffers write the bills, negotiate in back rooms, and exercise enormous real power. We should know who they are and who is paying them. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson revisit the question of how to find couple friends — and arrive at the same beautiful, frustrating conclusion they always do. Couple friendship is seasonal, it's fragile, it's devastated by divorce, and it is almost impossible to manufacture. The best couple friends come through your children's sports, through shared seasons of life, and occasionally through the miraculous coincidence of your children marrying each other's best friends' children. Guys don't have friends — they have wives. And their wives have friends. And those friends have husbands. That's the whole system. We also cover LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers — and President Trump's answer when asked in the Oval Office whether LeBron or Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. Trump said he only likes people who like him, and therefore: Michael Jordan, all the way. We agree with the conclusion if not necessarily the methodology. We also discuss John Fetterman's midterm strategy advice for Democrats — delivered in his signature style: don't be weird, don't be communist, don't be weirdo socialist, don't praise Mao, and don't do crazy stuff. We call it the most useful political advice any Democrat has given their party in years, and note that it will almost certainly be ignored. Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether Mamdani admitted he lacks authority to invade Poland, whether the EU makes more fining U.S. tech companies than taxing its own, whether right-wing extremists in the UK were arrested for planning to disrupt Muslim events, whether a Minnesota woman was convicted of saying a slur to a Somali man accused of rape who was never prosecuted, whether Ben Franklin performed electroshock experiments on slaves, whether the Smithsonian put that in a museum exhibit, whether Trump announced a third-term run, whether a New York school district hired a robot teacher, and whether the Obama Presidential Library stiffed its plumber out of nearly $4 million. Sophie Cunningham's shoes sold out in under 24 hours. We couldn't get any for prizes. For our Bright Spot, Paul Jackson was driving on I-5 near Seattle when he spotted an SUV drifting across three lanes with an unconscious driver and a terrified child in the back seat. He pulled alongside the out-of-control vehicle, wedged it against the concrete barrier, brought both cars to a stop, jumped out, put the SUV in park, and stayed with the woman and child until emergency services arrived.

Election Years Often Bring Volatility, Not Lasting Market Changes Investor questions surrounding the upcoming midterm election continue to increase, particularly regarding how election results could impact financial markets. Historically, heightened market volatility leading into an election is completely normal. Volatility has typically increased as Election Day approaches, with October often proving to be the most volatile month of the election cycle. Once election uncertainty passes, however, market volatility has generally declined. More importantly, history shows that investors should focus less on election outcomes and more on what happens afterward. Since 1950, every 12-month period following a midterm election has produced a positive return for the S&P 500, with an average gain of approximately 16.6%. Even the weakest post-election year generated a positive return. Political control has also shown surprisingly little impact on long-term market performance. Looking back to 1933, the S&P 500 has produced double-digit average annual returns regardless of which political party controlled Washington. While election outcomes certainly influence policy discussions, long-term market returns have been driven primarily by corporate earnings rather than politics. For long-term investors, maintaining focus on business fundamentals remains far more important than attempting to predict election results. Tariffs, Consumer Spending, and Interest Rates Remain Key Economic Drivers Trade policy continues to evolve following the Supreme Court’s ruling against tariffs implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In response, the administration implemented a temporary 10% universal tariff through Section 122, which expired after 150 days. Going forward, tariffs can now be implemented under Section 301, allowing for more permanent and country-specific tariff rates. While individual tariff rates may vary by trading partner, the overall economic impact compared to the previous structure remains relatively modest. Investors should expect continued headlines surrounding tariffs, but these developments are largely part of an anticipated policy transition rather than a significant shift in trade strategy. Beyond trade policy, consumer health remains one of the most important indicators for the broader economy. One metric receiving close attention combines average mortgage rates with average gasoline prices. Historically, when mortgage rates exceed 6% and gasoline prices rise above $4 per gallon, the combined burden begins placing meaningful financial pressure on consumers. Sustained periods above this threshold have often coincided with mid-cycle economic slowdowns or, in some cases, recessions. Despite these headwinds, the U.S. consumer has remained remarkably resilient. However, prolonged pressure from elevated borrowing costs and energy prices could eventually begin to weaken consumer spending, making this an important trend to monitor. Interest rate expectations also continue to shift. Current market expectations suggest the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut rates in the near term, with some investors now anticipating the possibility of additional rate hikes later this year. As leadership at the Federal Reserve evolves, markets will closely watch how policymakers respond to inflation, consumer strength, and broader economic conditions. Any unexpected shift toward higher interest rates would represent a meaningful change from the expectations many investors held entering the year and could influence both market sentiment and economic growth.

And as KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, incumbent President Buu Nygren will not be moving on to the general. Before midnight, the tribal radio station KTNN – known in these parts as the “Voice of the Navajo Nation” – called the 16-candidate race. Here is host “Navajo Bob” Sandoval reading the unofficial score from the 110 polling places. “Here we go, Justin Jones – 15,039. Crystalyne Curley – 8,424. Buu Nygren – 7,410.” Farmington attorney Justin Jones came in third behind Buu Nygren during the 2022 primary. Justin Jones speaks during his 2026 primary watch party in Window Rock, Ariz.

Now, Jones and Curley will pick their VP running mates before November. If elected, Curley would be the first Diné female president. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) makes remarks regarding her bill that passed out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on July 17 2026. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announced last week that her bill allowing five Alaska Native communities in Southeast Alaska to receive land entitlements passed out of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The legislation, called The Alaska Native Landless Equity Act, would allow Petersburg, Wrangell, Haines, Ketchikan, and Tenakee to form Alaska Native corporations and each receive about 23,000 acres of federal land, as KFSK's Baiz Hoen reports. Those communities were excluded from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) when it became law over 50 years ago. ANCSA transferred 44 million acres of land to more than 200 regional, village, and urban corporations to resolve land claims throughout Alaska. The Landless movement is not without controversy. ANCSA mandated the newly recognized Native corporations to make a profit. Because of this, some who oppose Sen. Murkowski's bill argue that it would privatize 115,000 acres of land in the Tongass National Forest. Murkowski spoke directly to the opposition in her committee remarks last week. She addressed concerns about environmental conservation, but said “this should not be the controversial measure it has historically been viewed as.” “There are no better stewards of our Alaska lands than the people who have lived on them for thousands of years.” The Alaska delegation has been introducing landless legislation since the early 1990s without success. In 2023, a landless bill introduced by Murkowski cleared committee for the first time. Murkowski also noted during remarks that a companion measure by U.S. Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) passed in the House of Representatives last month — with no recorded opposition. Rep. Begich's bill is the first Landless bill to clear the House. “ And I think there’s good reason for that because it comes back to the inequity that we have seen, uh, and in an effort to do right by the Alaska Native peoples who were excluded so many decades ago.” Murkowski's legislation now heads to the Senate floor for consideration.

Most of us picture democracy being decided on Election Day. Hannah Fried spends her life on the part nobody watches — the quiet, local decisions made months and years before a single ballot is cast.Hannah is co-founder and CEO of All Voting Is Local, a national nonprofit working year-round in eight states to remove voting barriers for Black, Brown, and Native American communities. She and her co-founder spent years saying "somebody should start an organization" focused on the local officials quietly deciding how elections run — then realized they were the somebody. They built it from her kitchen table with no money, got incubated by The Leadership Conference, and went independent in 2022.In this episode, you'll hear:Why the decisions that make or break your right to vote — where polling places go, what hours they're open, how vote-by-mail works — get made by local officials long before any ballot is castThe playbook for turning one county-level win into a national conversation — and why story is the engine that does itWhy "it's never too late to get involved" is more than a platitude, plus the concrete ways any person can plug in this yearIf you've ever wondered whether slow, local, unglamorous, years-in-the-making work actually adds up — this conversation is your answer.

Donald Trump does not need to stuff a ballot box to steal the 2026 midterm elections. He needs subpoenas, search warrants, and sixty one days of manufactured doubt between Election Day on November 3 and the swearing in of the new Congress on January 3. In this episode, I walk through the entire threat model, step by step, so you can spot the con before he runs it.We start with the January seizure of 656 boxes of ballots from Fulton County, Georgia, and Trump's July 16 televised address claiming China, noncitizen voting, and compromised election systems have already tainted the midterms. Then I break down how a stolen House majority would work in practice: manufacturing a presumption of fraud before votes are cast, turning close Democratic wins into federal criminal investigations, pressuring county boards to delay election certification, and exploiting the House clerk, credentials, and the opening roll on January 3 to keep an elected majority from organizing the chamber. No conspiracy corkboard, no fan fiction. Just what has already happened, what Trump has already said, and where the real choke points in the American election system sit.In this episode:The Fulton County ballot seizure and why grabbing original election records mid-cycle mattersTrump's foreign interference claims vs. what the intelligence community found about 2020How "election interference" became a magic phrase that replaces evidenceFederal election investigations across at least eight states and DOJ voter roll demands in roughly thirtyElection certification delays as a political weaponJanuary 3, the House clerk, certificates of election, and the credentials fight nobody is ready forThe Adelita Grijalva seven-week swearing-in delay and what it proved about procedural powerWhy the 25th Amendment fantasy is bullshit, and what the real defenses areThe 2020 playbook: Raffensperger, fake electors, and the pressure campaign before January 6Hungary's 79 percent turnout election and what blowout margins can and cannot doWhat voters can do right now: registration checks, ballot curing, poll working, and evidence preservationCheck your voter registration today at your state's official election website.

The speech matters less for its facts than for its signal. Hawk reads it as telegraphing that this administration will not accept the results of the midterms, and he puts it alongside the rest of the week: Jay Clayton declining to say who won in 2020, Todd Blanche testifying the president may direct prosecutions of his enemies, and Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller announcing an expansion of groups designated as domestic terrorists under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7. His practical warning is about conspiracy charges, using a Texas ICE protest case where one participant reportedly received 30 years, and how one person's actions can be attributed to an entire group. He lays out the real timeline, the eight to ten weeks between Election Day and January when the new Congress is sworn in, notes Trump has lost roughly 15 election cases this year including before his own appointees, and asks where Democratic leadership is.

Circle August 4th on your calendar: Michigan is now the number one marquee primary matchup I'm watching. Mallory McMorrow is out of the race as of a couple of weeks ago, and what's left is a head-to-head contest between the Democratic establishment — or at least what's left of it — and the insurgent progressive movement. Yes, friends, it's Haley Stevens versus Abdul El-Sayed, and it's set to be a knockout fight.This really represents the first live test for the current Democratic Party. Can the progressive movement, with a more charismatic candidate and a high-energy, extraordinarily competent campaign, expand its coalition enough to win statewide? Or will it do what it's done in the past — hit a ceiling when the opposition consolidates?There's only one new clean head-to-head test: a Tavern Research survey from July 6th through July 7th of 2,211 likely Democratic primary voters. It found Haley Stevens at 42%, El-Sayed at 41%, with 17 to 18% undecided. That's a margin-of-error race, but it's the first time in a very long time that we've seen Haley Stevens up over Abdul. The same poll tested the old three-person field and found El-Sayed at 41%, Stevens at 38%, and the flagging McMorrow at five. In other words, when McMorrow disappears, the voters are forced into a binary choice, and they're making it more on the Stevens side than the El-Sayed side. But still: tight, tight, tight, tight, tight.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Because we live in reboot culture, this is essentially — coalitionally, at least — Bernie Sanders versus Hillary Clinton for a new generation. The Stevens coalition is exactly like Hill-dogs: older voters, Black voters, traditional self-identified Democrats, non-college voters, and on the Michigan side, Metro Detroit — particularly Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties. What's powering Stevens is Black voters. She's led El-Sayed consistently in almost every poll. Meanwhile, Abdul's coalition is younger voters, very liberal and progressive voters, college-educated voters, voters outside Metro Detroit, Democratic Socialists, Arab Americans, and Muslim organizing networks. He also has significant labor support, including the UAW endorsement, despite most UAW members being non-college educated, which would normally fall outside his coalition. A very strange world we live in.The one demographic that's going to decide this race is women. They're the biggest disputed demo in every poll we've seen. An April Glenn Gariff poll showed Stevens leading among women 29% to 17%. But in a June Mitchell poll, the exact opposite was demonstrated: El-Sayed led with women 51% to Stevens's 35%. So as we look at the rest of the polls from now until Election Day, keep an eye on the ladies. They're the majority of the likely Democratic primary electorate. If Stevens can consolidate older and Black women while also inheriting McMorrow's suburban women, she can win. But if El-Sayed's progressive and younger female support holds, his coalition may be large enough to break through.Which brings me to the latest front of this war. I don't know if it's being done to court women, I don't know if it's being done specifically on purpose, but the results are undeniable: El-Sayed and Stevens are in an out-and-out shooting match to be more cringe. For Haley Stevens, this isn't something she has to worry about. She's naturally gifted in this regard. She's awkward, she has a thick Great Lakes accent, and she speaks in this clipped, emphatic manner. On one hand, she is herself. She feels less like a polished Washington candidate and more like somebody who wandered out of a Detroiters sketch. Abdul El-Sayed has the opposite problem. He's clearly a charismatic, compassionate candidate, a strong communicator, and an aggressive counterpuncher. But if you're running against him, your job is to make El-Sayed scare the hos. I think his campaign has found a solution: make himself toe-cringingly embarrassing. My read — and this is analysis, not something the campaign has admitted — is that cringe is a form of inoculation against being defined as scary. If you're embarrassing, you can't be terrifying.So who's going to win? I'm an old-school guy. I tend to bet chalk unless I'm convinced otherwise. And while I very much believe El-Sayed has the better campaign, and I think he's the better candidate if we're just looking at raw talent, I'd still bet the Michigan coalition that usually wins. Haley Stevens is a suboptimal candidate, and I've counted her out at every step of this race. I thought McMorrow was going to win. That obviously didn't happen. So don't take my prediction for a whole lot. But Stevens doesn't really have to do anything but be her cringy self to get over the line. Meanwhile, waiting on the other side, smiling like the butcher's dog, is Mike Rogers. He nearly beat Elissa Slotkin in 2024, losing by only 18 to 20,000 votes, about 0.3%. This is supposed to be more of a blue-wave year, but Rogers is going to benefit from a fractured leftward coalition. After Stevens and El-Sayed spend weeks beating the hell out of each other, the question is whether the losing half comes home. If they don't, Rogers benefits.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:01 - Michigan Preview00:14:58 - Update00:22:04 - Trump's Upcoming Address00:25:40 - Reconciliation00:29:36 - Inflation00:32:37 - Interview with Bill Scher01:20:01 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Reactions after the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision that upheld Mississippi's mail-in ballot law, which allows election officials to count absentee ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive up to five days later. The justices determined that federal election laws do not preempt state laws that establish these ballot grace periods. 

Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read recently called for the United States Postal Service to look at its policies around mail pick up on Election Day, after officials in Benton county found some voters’ ballots were left in mailboxes. The postal service has said they prioritize package delivery when staffing is short.   Read has also pushed back against the Trump administration’s threats to elections officials in all 50 states and D.C.   President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked vote-by-mail with false statements and is pressuring Congress to pass his “Save America Act” in an effort to exert federal control over state elections in a variety of ways.  We talk with Secretary Read about federal interference in Oregon elections and the security of elections in this state.  

With Israeli elections set for October 27, Iran is increasingly pairing its military actions with aggressive online campaigns designed to sow chaos and conflict – alongside ongoing efforts to recruit Israelis as spies, Haaretz cyber and disinformation correspondent Omer Benjakob warned on the Haaretz Election Podcast, in a roundtable with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer and correspondent Linda Dayan. “We’ve let the digital arena fester,” Benjakob said, in a stinging critique of the way in which Israel’s vaunted security services have dropped the ball in online foreign influence that has now been “supercharged” by AI. One of the reasons the phenomenon has been difficult to combat is because “nine times out of 10, you can’t differentiate between a pro‑Iranian campaign and a pro‑Netanyahu campaign,” he added, noting that Israel’s prime minister and his far-right ruling coalition and the country’s enemies, he noted, have a stake in maximizing extremism and division in the months leading up to Election Day. In their review of the week’s political headlines, the Election Podcast panel also discussed U.S. Democratic presidential hopefuls Rahm Emanuel, who addressed Israelis in Tel Aviv last week, and Ro Khanna, who was detained by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the southern West Bank – and the rise of former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot in the polls and the nature of the threat he poses to Netanyahu. Eisenkot appeals to voters who identify as right-wing and voted Likud in the past, but are seeking a “sane right” this time around, Dayan observed. “He offers a security‑heavy, ‘big Z’ Zionist party” that, unlike Likud, “isn’t embarrassing itself by unleashing very loud but not very content‑rich people onto the public.” Read more: Iran's Other Weapon: How Israel Woke Up Late to the Threat of Election Interference Gadi Eisenkot Is Quietly Gaining Ground Inside Likud Territory.

From October 30, 2024: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has taken a leading role in coordinating efforts to secure the 2024 election—from ensuring the physical security of election workers, to protecting election systems from cyber threats, to identifying foreign influence campaigns and preparing for deepfakes. With a week until Election Day, Senior Editors Quinta Jurecic and Eugenia Lostri spoke with CISA's Cait Conley, Senior Advisor to the agency's director, about how CISA is working to protect the vote.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Election administration faces mounting confusion as Arizona debates uniforms at polling places, the FBI examines Fulton County's 2020 election, Alaska sees two Senate candidates named Dan Sullivan, and the Supreme Court defines Election Day as the day votes are cast, raising fresh questions about transparency, intimidation, counting, and constitutional authority...

Our podcast today focuses on several U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving presidential authority, birthright citizenship, and election procedures. The conversation examines competing constitutional interpretations of executive power, the structure of federal agencies, immigration and citizenship policies, absentee ballot regulations, and judicial reasoning in closely divided court decisions. It also includes extensive discussions on American politics, ideological disputes, government institutions, immigration, capitalism, communism, national identity, and public remarks made by political figures regarding America and its values. 1. Presidential Authority to Fire Officials A Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies strengthened presidential control over the executive branch by overturning or limiting previous precedent that restricted a president's ability to remove agency officials. It is characterized as a major constitutional and political victory for presidential power. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should be fully accountable to the president because they are part of the executive branch. Bipartisan commissions may become less common as a result of these decisions. 2. Commentary on Zohran Mamdani and Progressive Politics His Fourth of July remarks were anti-American and compare progressive or socialist policies to communism. Communism produces poverty and authoritarianism and contrasts "American exceptionalism" with what we characterize as Mamdani's worldview. 3. Birthright Citizenship Another major topic is the Supreme Court's handling of birthright citizenship. Children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants should not automatically receive U.S. citizenship. Current policy, an argument for restricting birthright citizenship, expresses support for either a constitutional amendment or federal legislation to change it. 4. Mail-In Ballot and Election Law Case Supreme Court case concerning absentee ballots in Mississippi. The Court upheld a law allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted afterward. The ruling will make it harder to make elections fair and argue for stricter election procedures and federal election reforms. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Lights were out, bills are up, and a lot of folks around here are just done with it.  On today's Daily Detroit, Norris and I talk through the long Fourth of July weekend that turned into days without power for hundreds of thousands of people across metro Detroit — including me. As it seems like every year living in a Detroit neighborhood, I deal with 3 to 4 days in a row without electricity. From there, we zoom out. We talk about DTE's grid, why it seems like storms knock out power every year, and the growing conversation around a ratepayer bill of rights and the Michigan Money Out of Politics (MMOP) petition. We ask what would it look like if major state contractors couldn't pour money into campaigns? A We also kick around whether our politics could work differently (although we know the change would be hard legally to pull off): calendar windows for campaigning like other countries have, hard caps on campaign cash, and even making Election Day a holiday.  In the back third of the show, we answer listener questions about what to do with your ballot now that Mallory McMorrow is out of the race, including how and when you can spoil a ballot and get a new one. As always, I'd love to hear how you're experiencing all of this. The outages, the bills, and the politics around it. Email me at dailydetroit@gmail.com or leave a voicemail at 313‑789‑3211.

Mary and Andrew start with a deeper dive into the Supreme Court's decision to allow the removal of Temporary Protected Status designations from over 330,000 immigrants from Haiti and Syria — a consequential ruling that affects TPS holders well beyond those who brought the case, leaving over a million people vulnerable to removal. As Andrew notes, this case was based on two claims: one being a statutory challenge that DHS didn't follow the procedures set out by Congress, and the other a constitutional equal protection claim that this TPS status removal was “motivated in part by race” — both of which were struck down 6-3. Then, a look at Trump's latest retribution efforts including the heavy sentences doled out over a protest that ended in a shooting outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center inTexas one year ago; a felony indictment of former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly tearing part of the liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool; and former CIA Director John Brennan going on offense to challenge the DOJ's investigation into him. Plus, Mary and Andrew analyze the DOJ's response to a “show cause” order to unredact some of the Epstein files in a lawsuit filed by journalist Katie Phang.

The Supreme Court's term just ended, and the results were mixed for voting rights. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the wins — including a 5-4 ruling protecting mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day — and the losses, including Louisiana v. Callais, which gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and the Slaughter case, which lets Trump fire independent agency officials at will (except at the Federal Reserve).  But there's no time to sit with these rulings. Trump doesn't accept a loss and move on. With 196 voting cases pending nationwide and the midterms just four months away, Marc explains why the pro-democracy movement needs to stay ready for what comes next.

✅ Victories 1. Expansion of Presidential Power Case: Trump v. Slaughter Outcome: The Court overturned Humphrey’s Executor (a long-standing precedent). Meaning: The President now has broader authority to fire officials in independent agencies (like the FTC). Seen as strengthening Article II executive power. A related case (Trump v. Cook) ruled the opposite for the Federal Reserve, limiting presidential removal power there. This creates a partial exception, showing the Court did not fully embrace unlimited executive control. 2. Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports Case: West Virginia v. BPJ Outcome: States can restrict participation in women’s sports based on biological sex. Impact: Laws in 27 states are upheld. The Court ruled such restrictions do not violate the Equal Protection Clause or federal law. 3. Campaign Finance / Free Speech Case: NRSC v. FEC Outcome: Political parties can spend unlimited money in coordination with candidates. Impact: Expands political speech rights. Removes restrictions on party-candidate coordination. ❌ Losses 1. Birthright Citizenship Key points: The Court affirmed that such a major change cannot be done via executive action. Leaves open: Constitutional amendment Possible congressional legislation 2. Mail-in Ballots / Election Law Case: Watson v. RNC Outcome: States may count ballots received after Election Day if postmarked on time. Impact: Election rules remain state-controlled. Some states can allow extended ballot receipt windows. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 that ballots arriving after Election Day can still be counted — handing Democrats another way to turn Election Night into Election Week heading into the midterms. Pat breaks down exactly why this is a massive blow to common sense and election integrity. Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals to uphold Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to roll in up to five days later. Nearly 30 states have similar rules, and we have seen how this drags things out — especially in places like California. The majority held that federal law doesn't require ballots to arrive by Election Day, just get postmarked. Dissenting conservatives, including Alito, warned it undermines the whole point of a single Election Day. Pat also covered: Clarence Thomas at the Capitol: 'Meeting nobody' — brushes off reporter cold. Hakeem Jeffries losing control as socialists take over Democrats? Last day of Pride Month — Pat Gray: Are YOU celebrating? "Extreme weather demands sacrifice" — from everyone except EU executives. The Left heading toward MORE violence toward rich Americans.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.”  And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

With the nation just days away from its 250th birthday, Solomon reflects on a surprising 5-4 decision allowing election votes to be counted after Election Day, a ruling that caught both conservatives and liberals off guard. He also highlights a major victory for President Trump, who now has enhanced authority to regulate independent board members, following a 6-3 ruling in his favor.Listeners will hear about the ongoing E. Jean Carroll defamation case, where the Supreme Court declined to intervene, as well as the alarming incident involving a JetBlue flight that was struck by a drone while landing at JFK Airport. Solomon emphasizes the growing dangers posed by drones in aviation and the need for increased awareness and regulation.Joining the discussion is Senator Rick Scott, who advocates for daily Senate votes on the Save America Act and shares his thoughts on recent tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The episode also features Keith Krach, CEO of Freedom 250, discussing the upcoming anniversary celebrations, and Carrie Severino, a Supreme Court expert, who provides insights into the significant rulings of the day.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The end is nigh! Or, the end of this Supreme Court term is nigh, at least. On the second to last day of this term, the court's right wingers delivered a sweeping ruling that will reshape the federal government for years to come. In Trump v. Slaughter, the conservative supermajority voted 6-3 to allow the president to fire members of independent regulatory agencies—overturning Humphrey's Executor, a 91-year-old unanimous precedent—and handing Trump effective control over agencies that regulate consumer protection, nuclear energy, union activity, mine safety, and more. But the Roberts majority weren't quite ready to hand the nation's credit card (and their investment portfolios) over to the mad king, and so the Federal Reserve got a carve-out in a separate 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Cook. How did they reach these wildly different conclusions in such closely related cases? Justice Roberts offered a barely argued rationale, but who needs a rationale if your red lines are painted in a crimson of pure cynicism?The court also handed down a significant Fourth Amendment ruling on geofence warrants, with Justice Kagan writing for a 6-3 majority that such warrants constitute a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. And in Watson v. Republican National Committee, the court upheld state laws allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive shortly after. But the squeaker of a 5-4 majority was deeply alarming in a case that played to some of the justices' fox-brained ideas about election fraud. Justice Alito and his fellow dissenters appear to have signed onto the wholly unsupported view that Democrat wins are always suspect, and the only way to restore trust in voting is to restrict voting.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled on two cases that deal with major political battles. The first deals with mail-in voting, which President Trump has criticized for years. The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later.In another ruling, the High Court ruled that Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, can stay in her job for now.Both rulings are considered a loss for President Trump. But are they the final word on these two issues?For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Jeffrey Pierre and Vincent Acovino, with audio engineering by Ted Mebane. Our director is Alejandra Marquez Janse.It was edited by Benjamin Swasey, Patrick Jarenwattananon, and Tinbete Ermyas.Our interim executive producer is Courtney Dorning.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
