Donald Trump is, of course, mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files, as one would expect given his close relationship with notorious pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but Trump's association with many of the names in those files did not end with Epstein's arrest, or even death. Rachel Maddow highlights some of the mentions that are oddly still enjoying impunity.The fight against Donald Trumps anti-immigrant agenda is being engaged with ferocity by ordinary citizens from all walks of life, including local who don't want their town to play host to one of Donald Trump's new immigrant prison camps. Rachel Maddow argues that major law firms who were made to look foolish cowering in the face of threats from Trump in 2025, would do well to seek redemption in 2026 by joining the effort to stymie Trump's plans of a nationwide network of immigrant prison camps.Michael Wriston, co-founder of Project Salt Box, talks with Rachel about using records of government contracts to figure out what the Department of Homeland Security is planning as it looks to build a network of immigrant prisons.Senator Jon Ossoff joins to talk about Doanld Trump's fixation on losing in Georgia in 2020 and the threat Trump poses to free and fair elections in Georgia as soon as the coming midterms.

Host Bakari Sellers recaps Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, the Puerto Rican singer gave a performance entirely in Spanish against the backdrop of a brutal deportation campaign occurring across the United States. The Trump Administration has said from the start that deportations would target primarily violent criminals, and Trump himself frequently claims that they’re deporting “the worst of the worst.” The reality looks far different, as revealed in a report from the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. AND Governor Wes Moore suggests that racism is the reason why he was singled out and uninvited to an annual meeting of governors at the White House. Want to ask Bakari a question?

Aaron McIntire recaps a week where the White House ramps up economic messaging, with President Trump forecasting explosive GDP growth under his anticipated Federal Reserve pick and Secretary Doug Burgum highlighting falling energy prices and broad prosperity gains. A fresh Gallup poll shows Americans growing more optimistic about economic growth and the stock market in the coming months. CBS reports on ICE arrests spark debate, but the data excludes key non-violent crimes like drug trafficking and other vile crimes. Another potential government shutdown looms over DHS funding, with Sen. John Fetterman admitting confusion over his party's priorities. Plus, viewership success for the TP USA alternative halftime show, the New York Times walking back marijuana legalization support, and Catherine Herridge detailing CBS suppression of Hunter Biden laptop stories.   A.M.

Japan's prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, has led her party to a decisive election victory. Her Liberal Democratic Party won more than two thirds of the seats in the lower house of parliament. It gives Ms Takaichi wide scope to push through her conservative agenda. She's promised to boost defence spending, tighten immigration and revise Japan's pacifist constitution. Also: Thailand's incumbent prime minister has claimed victory, after early vote counts gave him a big lead in the country's general election. The Hong Kong media tycoon and pro-democracy campaigner, Jimmy Lai, has been sentenced to twenty years in prison under the territory's strict national security law, which China says is necessary for stability. The man convicted of shooting dead fifty one people at two mosques in New Zealand seven years ago has begun an appeal against his conviction and sentence. The Seattle Seahawks have won the Super Bowl -- the biggest prize in American football.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 57: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: When they insist Trump's Thursday night racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn’t posted by Trump but by somebody else in the White House – and then he undermines the lie they spread on his behalf by saying he selected the video and had them post it but he just didn’t see the whole thing but so what it wasn’t a mistake they just deleted it – I think each part of that is a lie. It was a set-up. I conclude that this is not just blatant, human garbage racism, inherited Trump Family Branded racism, but I conclude the entire thing was designed – to whatever degree anything Trump and these scumbags do is DESIGNED – it was DESIGNED to turn out this way. Event happens, justifiable backlash, unrighteous indignation from press secretary Eva Braun, oops it wasn’t supposed to be posted, oops bad staffer, oops Trump comes out at the end of the day and… endorses the original racism anyway, quote, “I didn’t make a mistake.” And he did it this circuitous way, the way he expresses ALL his racism against BLACK people, because he can’t send ICE after them. But the point of the video was he was reminding his putrid, hate-driven base that he can't send ICE after them...FOR THE MOMENT. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There are actually people in politics and media who for some reason don't see that Jeff Bezos hired Will Allen to slowly destroy The Washington Post (to please Trump) and think this was all some sort of mismanagement, rather than a well-executed plan. Unfortunately at least two of them wrote it on their sites: Jim Vandehei and Dylan Byers. Sage Steele is back with not only anti-athlete, anti-freedom of speech conservative swill, but stuff that is almost a word-for-word duplication of what Laura Ingraham wrote 20 years ago. And incredibly, in Year 11 of the Trump Scam, there's still a guy on CNN thinks Trump just changed his tone. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Not to say I've had a lot of jobs but I just remembered one that I had FORGOTTEN: my two weeks as the entire sports department on a New York City newspaper that went daily, while the big papers were out on strike in 1978!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're just a few weeks out from the very first state primary elections of the year. And President Donald Trump and the GOP are, at the moment, unpopular.As people around the country prepare to head to the polls to decide who will run in this year's midterms, the president is once again trying to undermine the most basic functions of elections. He's still spreading lies about past elections he lost and is now sowing seeds of doubt in the local elections process. There is no evidence to support Trump's repeated, false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.In late January, the FBI seized boxes of 2020 election ballots and other voting records in Fulton County, Georgia, which for years has been the focus of his baseless conspiracy theory that the election was rigged.In this installment of our weekly politics series, “If You Can Keep It,” we explore what the president's latest attacks on election integrity mean for the future of our democracy.Find more of our programs online.

Today's Headlines: This weekend was a lot. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan, and Vice President JD Vance managed to make himself the main character by getting booed at the opening ceremony and delaying U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu with his massive motorcade — after reportedly flying a plane full of food to Italy, of all places. Embarrassing, but not even close to the most serious news. The FBI has invited election officials from all 50 states to an unusual “election briefing” later this month, amid growing concerns about Trump's repeated calls to nationalize elections. At the same time, DHS has reportedly used administrative subpoenas to try to obtain user data on critics of the Trump administration, including people sharing information about ICE activity or emailing officials to oppose deportations. The Tulsi Gabbard saga also deepened, with new reporting revealing that she allegedly blocked the NSA from circulating a report about a suspicious phone call involving someone tied to foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump — a move that ultimately triggered the whistleblower complaint now under scrutiny. Meanwhile, fallout from the Epstein files continued, with multiple high-profile figures in the U.S. and Europe facing investigations, resignations, or calls to step aside. European governments in particular have moved quickly, launching probes into Epstein's ties to human trafficking, Russian intelligence, and elite institutions — while U.S. consequences remain scarce. Elsewhere, China announced a renewed crackdown on crypto trading loopholes, reports emerged that U.S. service members were pressured to attend screenings of a Melania Trump documentary, the Trump administration allegedly threatened to freeze $16 billion in infrastructure funding unless major transit hubs were renamed after the president, and New York City lawmakers overrode a veto to strengthen labor protections for Uber and Lyft drivers.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: The Daily Beast: Vance's Lavish Motorcade Wreaks Havoc at Winter Olympics NBC News: FBI invites state election officials to an 'unusual' briefing on the midterms The Guardian: NSA detected foreign intelligence phone call about a person close to Trump | US national security Tech Crunch: Homeland Security is trying to force tech companies to hand over data about Trump critics CNN: LA Olympics chief faces calls to resign after flirty emails with Ghislaine Maxwell are revealed in Epstein files Bloomberg: World Economic Forum Opens Probe Into CEO Over Epstein Meetings X: US Ambassador to Poland Yahoo Finance: China Reiterates Crypto Ban While Cracking Down on Tokenized Assets and Yuan Stablecoins The Daily Beast: Military Pressured to See ‘Melania' Against Their Will Rolling Stone: 'Chaos': Behind the Scenes of Amazon's Melania Trump Doc NYT: Officials Pressed Schumer to Help Name Penn Station and Dulles Airport for Trump Gothamist: City Council puts limits on how often Uber, Lyft can boot drivers off their apps Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

Sen. John Fetterman (PA) has stirred controversy within his party by saying that requiring voter ID is not "unreasonable," pointing to states like Wisconsin that already enforce similar laws. "It's not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote," Fetterman said, while rejecting comparisons between voter ID requirements and Jim Crow–era restrictions. The Sekulow team discusses the fallout from Fetterman's comments, the ACLJ's legal work and more.

With over 83 percent public support, the SAVE Act should be a layup. So why are Democrats attacking it as "Jim Crow 2.0," and why is Republican leadership in the Senate stalling behind procedural excuses? This episode breaks down what the SAVE America Act actually does, why voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan support, and how the "suppression" narrative relies on racial gaslighting. From the myth of nationalized elections to the Senate's zombie filibuster, Professor Nick Giordano provides a blunt analysis of why election integrity has become a controversial fight in Washington. What You'll Learn What the SAVE Act really changes and why proof of citizenship matters for secure elections Why claims that voter ID is racist collapse under real-world scrutiny and polling data Black and Latino communities How voter roll maintenance works everywhere else in government and why elections are treated differently Why the zombie filibuster allows Senate leadership to block popular legislation without taking a public stand What the GOP's hesitation reveals about political courage and the upcoming 2026 midterms.

As the 2026 midterm season kicks off with primaries in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas, the political landscape is being shaped by President Trump's push for increased federal involvement in election oversight. This movement coincides with raids of election facilities in Georgia and Puerto Rico, as the administration continues to re-examine the results of the 2020 election. Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies, Colin Reed, joins the Rundown to break down the key issues taking center stage as candidates begin their fight for party wins. President Trump has signaled a renewed focus on veterans' health care, highlighting a significant reduction in benefit claim backlogs and a record number of homeless veterans being placed in permanent housing during the first year of his second term. Building on the reforms started during his first administration, the current leadership is pushing for a "generational change" intended to shift the focus from bureaucracy to individual patient needs. U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, discusses the ongoing mission to eliminate wait times and address the critical issues of veteran homelessness and suicide.

There have been concerns about Trump's mental health going back almost a decade.  Recently released Epstein files show that in 2017, Jeffrey Epstein claimed Trump was showing signs of dementia.  He wrote, "Some at dinner with Donald last night, were concerned about dementia. Tons of makeup. did not recognize old friends." He wasn't the only one. Steve Bannon reportedly thought Trump had "early-stage dementia" back in his first term. That those close to him were worried so long ago, puts the latest concerns about Trump's cognitive issues and mental health in the forefront. We'll talk politics with iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich. We'll take a close look at revelations in the Epstein FIles with investigative journalist and author Sarah Kendzior.  The Mark Thompson Show 2/9/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v.

Japan's governing coalition led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is projected to have won two-thirds of the seats in the House of Representatives. Ms Takaichi sought and got a clear public mandate in a general election she called just four months after becoming leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.Also, the Iranian Nobel peace laureate, Narges Mohammadi, has received another prison sentence - for what the court said was "collusion to commit crimes." And we speak to one of the Epstein survivors who had a relationship with him for two years.(Photo: Sanae Takaichi appeared at the LDP headquarters on Sunday night for the vote count.

Mike is joined by Chris Cillizza to break down Donald Trump's rambling proposal to nationalize elections, debating whether it's a master plan or just the former president "saying s**t." They discuss why the scheme is constitutionally impossible but politically potent, how the "counter-mobilization" of voters might backfire on the GOP, and dissect the brutal layoffs at the Washington Post—questioning if Jeff Bezos is a villain or just a billionaire tired of losing $100 million a year.

The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trump's threats to “nationalize” elections in fifteen states, the recent F.B.I. raid to seize 2020 voting records at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, and the ways in which the Administration might meddle with a free and fair vote in 2026. Their guest, Richard Hasen, is the director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at U.C.L.A.'s School of Law. “I actually think that now is the time to be preparing for this,” Hasen says. “I think states and localities should think about getting injunctions from federal courts against Donald Trump to prevent him from interfering with the tabulation of ballots.”This week's reading: “Donald Trump Already Knows the 2026 Election Is ‘Rigged,' ” by Susan B.

An 84 year old woman is missing in Tucson. The President posted a racist video and won't apologize. The DNI is seizing voting machines. And Kamala Harris just relaunched her social media. It's been a week. Let's get into it.In This Episode:The Disappearance of Nancy GuthrieDay six of the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, taken from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. We break down the full timeline, the ransom notes sent to media outlets, the FBI's warning about AI deepfakes complicating proof of life, the arrest of a fake ransom scammer, a new message being analyzed by investigators, a vehicle of interest at a Tucson Circle K, and the towing of a car from Nancy's property Friday evening. Still no suspects. Still no proof of life. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward.The President Posted What?!Late Thursday night, Trump's Truth Social account shared a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, during Black History Month. The White House called the backlash "fake outrage." Then Tim Scott called it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." Then Republicans started calling the President directly. Then it came down. Then they blamed a staffer. Then Trump said he won't apologize. We walk through every layer.Tulsi Gabbard and the Election Conspiracy Road ShowThe Director of National Intelligence showed up at an FBI raid in Georgia, seized voting machines in Puerto Rico, skipped the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and has a classified whistleblower complaint locked in a safe alleging she restricted intelligence for political purposes.

On this special edition of Coffee House Shots, Tim Shipman is joined by Jonathan Hinder – a rising star of the back benches and a blue Labour acolyte – for a candid discussion about the state of the Labour party and the security of its leader.They discuss the Peter Mandelson scandal and the impact it has had on backbench support for the Prime Minister, as well as the implications it may have regarding decision-making at the top of government. Are Labour MPs considering moving against Keir Starmer? Should he fight the next election?This is set within the context of local elections, which Jonathan forecasts will be ‘bad' for the Labour party – ‘it's not a great time to be a Labour MP', he says. Is there a route back for the Labour party?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, WREC's Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. Sen Chuck Schumer has labeled the SAVE Act—a bill requiring ID and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections—as "Jim Crow 2.0," claiming it suppresses voters. This is racist – Schumer is implying that Black and Hispanic Americans cannot reasonably be expected to have or obtain an ID in 2026. Democrats support requiring ID for universal background checks when purchasing firearms but oppose it for voting. The only reason anyone would opposes voter ID is to exploit the system and cheat. The majority of Americans support voter ID. Later, President Trump realized that prescription drug prices have gotten too high. So, he launched Trump RX to lower these prices. This will save Americans billions of dollars. Also, Americans should closely follow the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery, as it extends far beyond a corporate deal to impact American jobs, media control, and national security.  Culture, storytelling, and media serve as key weapons in the global battle of ideas, where foreign adversaries—particularly China—exploit weakened U.S. companies to spread authoritarian influence and propaganda. The merger would strengthen an American entity, preserve hundreds of thousands of middle-class jobs across multiple states, enable major U.S. investments like Netflix's new studio project, and help domestic streaming compete against Big Tech and state-backed foreign players.  Approval of the merger can bolster U.S. cultural leadership and protect against foreign dominance in the information war, aligning with Ronald Reagan's belief in safeguarding freedom through strong American influence.
