Story of the Week (DR):End of summer anti-woke bro rage brigade MMNew Cracker Barrel Logo Sparks Right-Wing Backlash—From Trump Jr. And MoreMAGA erupts over Cracker Barrel logo change, and stock plungesRight-Winger, Others Call Out 'Woke' New Change To Cracker Barrel's Peg GameThe goal of the game is to whittle down the number of pegs on the board to one through a series of “jumping” pegs, not unlike checkers. Previously, directions on the game explained that people who have only one peg left on the board are geniuses, while people with two pegs left are “pretty smart.” However, if you leave three pegs, the game considers you “dumb,” while anyone who leaves four pegs is an “EG-NO-RA-MOOOSE.”That was the old game. New peg games have removed the playful insults and instead say, “leave three or more ― no reason to be embarrassed. Try again.”Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist: Cracker Barrel didn't just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe. It also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.Until October 2017, The Federalist had a "black crime" tag, which aggregated articles related to criminal activity by African AmericansChristian College's Hot Take On Cracker Barrel Has People Saying, ‘Huh?'Hillsdale College in Michigan: A post on its official account on X (formerly Twitter) likened the updated logo to a vandalized statue of President George Washington that was defaced during the 2020 protests over the police killing of George Floyd.MAGA Rep Drags Jesus Christ Into ‘Woke' Cracker Barrel MeltdownCongressman Byron Donalds slammed the restaurant chain for daring to rebrand after he had a religious experience in one of its Florida parking lots: “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee,” the Florida Republican wrote on X, “I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand.”‘Cracker barrel goes woke': CEO under MAGA fire for changing logo first time in 48 years, removes ‘white guy'Steak 'n Shake slams Cracker Barrel CEO for eliminating 'old-timer' from logo: 'We take pride in our history'“This is what happens when you have a board that does not respect their historical customers or their brand.At Steak n Shake, we have gone back to basics. Our tallow fries are waiting for you. Oh yeah, you can also now pay with Bitcoin!”Entrepreneur Sardar Biglari owns Steak ‘n ShakeOwns 9.3% of Cracker barreltook control of Steak 'n Shake in August 2008 after three years of declining same-store sales and losses of $100,000 per day.Biglari controls the Steak 'n Shake Company, First Guard Insurance, Abraxas Petroleum, Maxim, Southern Oil of Louisiana, Southern Pioneer Insurance and the Western Sizzlin' corporation. Biglari was born in Iran in 1977However the chain ran into more problems in 2016 and onward, with revenue declining sharply.In 2021, Steak N' Shake made a strategic decision to transition away from casual dining and become a fast food restaurant. Steak 'n Shake replaced lunch counters with self-serve kiosks in 2021 to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Changing the service model allowed a significant reduction of store staffIn 2024, Biglari fought and lost a proxy contest with Cracker Barrel, trying to get himself and two buddies on the CB board.This marks the sixth time since 2011 that Biglari has initiated a proxy contest seeking seats on the Board (the fourth time for Sardar Biglari personally), and the seventh contested solicitation overall during that span.POP QUIZ:Was that the original logo?No. The Cracker Barrel chain opened first in 1969 and had a text-only logo. In 1977, the famous logo with a man and a barrel was introduced.Is Cracker Barrel's new-ish CEO (11/23) a man or a woman?Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino and the new logo controversyMs. Masino previously served as the President, International of Taco Bell, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) from January 2020 to June 2023. From January 2018 to December 2019, she served as President, North America of Taco Bell.“Cracker Barrel's new logo isn't an accident — it's CEO Julie Felss Masino's project. She scrapped a beloved American aesthetic and replaced it with sterile, soulless branding.”Benny Johnson said the logo change could cause the company to collapse in a similar way that Target and other stores that embraced DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) did.‘Go woke, you go broke:' Ohio faith leaders urge Kroger to abandon LGBTQ+ policiesTrump calls on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resignLisa DeNell Cook is an American economist who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since May 23, 2022.

Florida Politics Publisher Peter Schorsch gives the inside scoop on the contentious battle between Florida Republicans.
What happens when a Republican author slams Trump's tariffs, calls out Medicare cuts, and pushes back on RFK Jr.'s health claims—all on a progressive podcast?In this episode of Lean to the Left, host Bob Gatty speaks with Michael Goodwin, Florida Republican and author of the political satire Vice Versa. With Wall Street experience and a sharp pen, Goodwin offers a rare, candid take on Trump's economic missteps, the Supreme Court's troubling direction, and the damage being done to Medicaid, Medicare, and biomedical research.
In this packed episode, Chuck opens with a sobering assessment of President Trump's plummeting approval ratings and questions about his administration's credibility before diving into critical structural concerns about the Department of Justice's independence and the need to expand the House of Representatives. He shifts to Florida politics, where a brewing corruption scandal threatens the governor's race and Republicans are increasingly willing to challenge Ron DeSantis's weakened political standing. New York Congressman Dan Goldman joins for an extended interview about the concept of rule of law before and after his experience during impeachment proceedings. Goldman offers insights into Trump's challenges to fundamental constitutional principles and proposes concrete reforms to better protect America's democratic institutions, including codifying limits on presidential interference in prosecutions, strengthening congressional subpoena powers, and potentially restructuring the Justice Department with Federal Reserve-like independence.The episode's second half features political handicapper Dave Wasserman analyzing the evolving electoral landscape heading into the midterms. Wasserman explains how understanding local communities is crucial to predicting election outcomes, while lamenting the lack of quality coverage in smaller markets. He delivers a forecast that Democrats could see sizable gains in the House, with Trump's tariff policies potentially hurting Republicans in farm states. The discussion explores gerrymandering's changing impact, with both parties now complaining about the practice, and examines how the 2030 census might reshape the electoral map. Finally, they discuss the prospect of a “blue wave” in the 2026 midterm elections and whether we could see one or both chambers of congress change hands.Timeline00:00 Multiple polls show sharp approval rating drop for Trump03:00 Trump's spokespeople are losing credibility05:00 Department of Justice needs more independence 7:30 The House of Representatives needs to be expanded8:45 White House Correspondents weekend was awkward12:15 Corruption scandal looming over Florida governor race13:15 Florida Republicans are no longer afraid of Ron DeSantis15:30 Ron DeSantis may be weaker, but Florida Democrats aren't stronger17:00 The Shedeur Sanders commentary was ridiculous19:10 Congressman Dan Goldman joins the show19:40 What are the highlights of his district, NY-10? 26:35 What did "rule of law" mean to you before and after working on the impeachment proceedings? 30:25 Fundamental tenets of rule of law are being challenged 31:00 Amendments 4-10 are about equal protection under the law, for citizens and non-citizens 34:20 Trump has exposed why government is susceptible to leaders willing to break their oath of office 36:10 We need to codify into law that the president can't weigh in on individual prosecutions 38:40 Enforcement of congressional subpoenas needs legal teeth 41:30 Should we set up Justice with a level of independence like we did with the Federal Reserve? 48:40 If impeachment couldn't hold Trump accountable, why would the justice system? 50:10 Trump's conduct warranted prosecution 52:55 The impeachment process is broken 54:10 Trump has an unexplained infatuation for Vladimir Putin 7:25 The Republican majority in the House has turned all of their authority over to Trump 1:01:40 What can Democratic members of congress do other than speak out? 1:05:25 If Democrats want to win in 2026, what should they be talking about? 1:08:55 Is Andrew Cuomo vs Eric Adams really the best that NYC can do?1:14:45 Chuck's thoughts on his conversation with Dan Goldman1:17:35 Dave Wasserman joins the show! 1:19:35 Mainstreaming interest in political handicapping 1:24:05 Understanding a local community is crucial to handicapping 1:27:05 Smaller markets not getting coverage they deserve 1:28:20 Determining how competitive a race will be? 1:31:05 House map is less skewed than it used to be 1:34:35 Complaining about gerrymandering has become more bipartisan 1:36:05 Democrats could see sizeable midterm gains 1:42:50 How will retirements affect the midterms? 1:4:05 Tariffs will cost Republicans in the farm states 1:45:05 Kansas headed toward swing state status? 1:48:05 Reappropriation from 2030 census could add several new red seats 1:49:35 Can Republicans further gerrymander states like Texas and Florida? 1:53:35 Virginia governor race isn't that competitive 1:58:50 Conventional wisdom is that Democrats shouldn't choose a woman for 28 1:59:50 Is a blue wave developing? 2:01:05 Trump doesn't care about Republicans other than himself2:03:16 Chuck's final thoughts

Today let's join David Waldman in bidding adieu to yesterday's co-host Charlie Kirk. We at KITM wish him well in his future endeavors. Greg Dworkin, who is 100% available on Blue Sky, felt possessed to post his analysis of where we are, post yesterday's events, on the execrable X... At least he didn't dock his Raft O' Stories ™ over at the Tesla dealership. When will Democrats say or do enough to counter Donald K. Trump? Yesterday, and for more than 25 hours previously, Senator Cory Booker said and did enough. Great! OK, who's next at bat? Yesterday's elections were very special. Florida Republicans won, sure, but other than that, they can't really brag. In Wisconsin, Elon Musk had his ass handed to him, then claimed that he always wanted to look at it from that angle. Mike Johnson couldn't kill a new parents proxy voting measure, so he took his ball and went home. Donald K. Trump is furious to catch Senate Gops attempting to slip out of his Tariff Jonestown before the big event. What'll be in tonight's batch of Kool-Aid? Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans have already moved on, and Trump couldn't care less. Abducting people to disappear and destroying government and democracy sure sounded like good ideas at the time, but... The Signal witch-hunt continues, but which witch will Trump burn? Michael Waltz used to be “Signal stupid”, but now he's “Gmail stupid”, while Pete Hegseth is a special kind of stupid, and getting more special every day. All of Mel Gibson's flags are red, but when a Justice Department Official didn't want Mel to buy more guns, she was fired. Donald could pardon him. Donald will pardon anything.

The emerging Florida Republican majority took a thud in 1970 as Reubin Askew won back the Governorship for the Democrats and ushered in a decade of Dem dominance in the state up-and-down the ballot.
In this episode: Since taking total control of state government 25 years ago, Florida Republicans have systematically rolled back reforms that once kept state courts independent. It was a project launched by Jeb Bush, expanded by Rick Scott, and that has now culminated under Ron DeSantis with a Florida Supreme Court that is a rubber stamp for the governor and Legislature — and a roadblock for anyone who dares to challenge them. Learn more about how it happened from Martin Dyckman, a Florida journalist and historian whose investigative reporting once exposed Supreme Court corruption and spurred some of the very reforms that have been undone.Show notes:Read this Dyckman column in the Sun-Sentinel explaining some of the history and changes in more detail.And if you want to do a truly deep dive into the subject, check out his book: A Most Disorderly Court: Scandal and Reform in the Florida Judiciary (and don't forget his biographies of Govs. Reubin Askew and Leroy Collins, too).Questions or comments?

Matt Gaetz may be leaving Congress — and not to take a place in Donald Trump's cabinet — but there's little chance the Florida Republican will fade off into the darkness. More likely Gaetz will continue to be outspoken and reveal unpleasant truths, such as his recent allegation that a foreign government — albeit one he refused to identify — was responsible for murdering Jeffrey Epstein. Jimmy and guest Ian Carroll discuss just which foreign government Gaetz could possibly be talking about. Plus segments on Marjorie Taylor Greene's calls to expose all the reports on Congressional sexual misconduct, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirming that his country would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot on Canadian soil and Rachel Maddow taking a $5 million pay cut at MSNBC. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!
On tonight's program: Florida voters reject the constitutional amendment that would have legalized recreational marijuana use by adults. Many law enforcement officials are happy, but there are some who are not; Why does Florida have a 60 percent threshold anyway? That's a question on many minds after most Florida voters cast ballots in favor of an amendment to protect abortion rights, but the proposal still failed; The old saying is, it takes two to tangle. But there are those political analysts suggesting that only one national political party fought in Florida in advance of this week's election; A powerful Florida Republican shares his take on the election and how he saw it all coming; Few people expected this week's election to be any kind of a Democratic blow-out. But even fewer anticipated a Democratic blow-UP; And after all the election stress, perhaps seeking out spiritual sanctuary may help
Florida Republican says opponent's Humanism 'should disqualify her' from officeThe Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on October 16, 2024https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/florida-republican-says-opponentsIn Florida's District 38 State House race, the political landscape is heating up as Democrat Sarah Henry faces off against Republican incumbent David Smith in a highly anticipated rematch. This contest is particularly noteworthy due to the scrutiny surrounding Smith's campaign tactics, which have drawn criticism for their negative nature. Henry, who previously worked as a Communications associate for the American Humanist Association, brings her experience in advocacy and progressive values into the race.The dynamics of this election reflect broader trends in American politics, where negative campaigning often overshadows substantive discussions about policy and vision. Henry's campaign aims to respond to these tactics by emphasizing her commitment to constructive dialogue and progressive issues that resonate with constituents. As the election approaches, the focus will likely remain on how both candidates navigate the challenges of campaigning in a polarized environment and what this means for the future of District 38.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.44.2 featuring Scott Dickie, Damien H, Kelley Laughlin and Stephen HarderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

IT"S SEASON 4!! The first episode of season 4 I had the pleasure of interviewing the former Florida Republican Party Director Jamie Miller. Join us for a conversation about the election process, frozen iguanas and Florida politics. Come chat with me!
In this episode: Progressive activist and Ron DeSantis antagonist Thomas Kennedy joins the show to talk about why the DeSantis bubble burst so spectacularly on the national stage and to call out some of the Florida politicians from both parties who take money — and marching orders — from Big Sugar. We also talk about DeSantis' refusal to extend Florida's voter registration as a monstrous hurricane looms off the coast and new campaigns targeting Republican lawmakers who have attacked and exploited immigrants. Show notes:As promised on the show, here are links to watch the CBS Sunday Morning segment on the ways Florida's anti-immigrant laws are hurting Florida farmers and to see the infamous Tallahassee billboard mocking a cosplaying governor pretending to be a fighter pilot.You can also find lots more detail about the ways some top Florida Democrats teamed up with DeSantis and Florida Republicans to do Big Sugar's bidding in these stories and podcasts:After sugar's $11 million investment, a bipartisan push to protect industry (Miami Herald)Glades residents left behind: Nikki Fried's ‘changes' to cane burning served only Big Sugar (Palm Beach Post)How Ron DeSantis and Nikki Fried Teamed Up to Defend Big Sugar (Seeking Rents – The Podcast)Finally, make sure to check out Kennedy's Podcast, Why Are We Like This, and to follow him on social media (@tomaskenn on Instagram and @tomaskenn on Twitter).Questions or comments?

The clock is ticking. It's not just that we have endless untapped political opportunities in red states. It's that if we fail to utilize them, Democrats will eventually fill the vacuum, as we are seeing in Alaska, Georgia, and Arizona. I discuss as a case study the story of the Kentucky governor banning mental health counseling for kids suffering from gender dysphoria. This is able to happen in a state Trump carried by 30 points only because we have failed, and continue to fail, to place conservative ground game and education in states where voters broadly agree with us on the issues. I contrast this to Florida, where on issue after issue, DeSantis is utilizing power to destroy the Left. But even there, most Florida Republicans will go back to their old ways unless we elect a governor who is of the same caliber as DeSantis. Learn more about your ad choices.

Laura Meckler of the Washington Post explains why cellphone bans are spreading in schools amid growing mental-health worries. Longtime Republicans in Florida, Arizona, and other states are campaigning for abortion rights. The Wall Street Journal’s Laura Kusisto has details. A string of recent deaths in youth football has renewed calls for reform. NBC reports. The NFL has embraced a soft-shell helmet cover to protect players from concussions. CNN looks into what the science says about them. In the campaign to vaccinate kids in Gaza against polio, the World Health Organization says efforts are exceeding early targets. The BBC has the story. The U.S. Department of Justice charged six Hamas leaders over the October 7 attack. Reuters has more. And the Wall Street Journal reports on the American teen who stunned himself — and the world — to win two Paralympic golds. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu

The more Trump falls behind in the race, the more he seems inclined to move to the left and blame his electoral problems on conservatives rather than his own image. I go through some of his recent lurches to the left — not for the purpose of saying to stay home but to begin building a parallel movement to fix the GOP beginning today. Voting for Trump over Harris is not mutually exclusive with remaining true to who we are down-ballot and on the issues, even when that conflicts with Trump. Next, I delve deeply into a budding fight in Florida, with almost every elected Florida Republican purposely picking a fight with DeSantis over a tiny development project in a few state parks. The same people who refuse to join any of his fight against the Left, including on ubiquitous abortion and marijuana use, are suddenly feigning outrage over quality of life in the parks. It's built on insidious lies and exposes the fact that the Florida GOP is as bad as it always was. We need to do major surgery on this party no matter what happens in November.

Tonight in a campaign rally in her home state, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said her opponent, former President Trump, "pitched a fit" and "threw a temper tantrum" during his speech after he won the New Hampshire primary. After coming in second, Haley said the "race is far from over" as she prepares for the next contest in South Carolina next month. Katon Dawson is the former chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party and has supported Haley. He joins AC360 to discuss how he thinks she can slow the former president's momentum. Plus, a source exclusively tells CNN that the House Ethics Committee investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz has reached out to the woman he allegedly had sexual relations with when she was a 17-year-old minor. Sources also say the committee has also asked the Justice Department to for materials from its own investigation into the Florida Republican. That probe concluded in 2023 with no charges. Rep. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing. CNN Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent Paula Reid tells Anderson Cooper what more she is learning about the House committee's investigation.

Joy leads this episode of The ReidOut with a scandal in Florida, involving the Chair of Florida's Republican Party, Christian Ziegler. Ziegler is now under criminal investigation for allegations related to sexual battery, according to a complaint filed by the Sarasota Police Department. Joy and her guests discuss this plus Ziegler's wife Bridget Ziegler's anti-lgbtq activism as co-founder of Mom's for Liberty. Plus, new warnings about former President Trump's plans for a second presidency, which some say would move the country into a full-blown autocracy. Also, Ayman Mohyeldin joins Joy to discuss the latest on the ground in Gaza, with civilians receiving mounting pressure to flee despite no real options with Israel and Egypt refusing to allow refugees. This comes as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin delivered strong remarks Saturday, about Israel needing to protect civilians in Gaza, calling them the center of gravity in Israel's war with Hamas. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Two governors, a Florida Republican and a California Democrat, go head to head on which model of governance is right for America.

George Santos, but what precedent does this set in a polarized age? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Governor Ron DeSantis is running for president on the argument that he'll do for America what he's done for Florida. So what's it like in Florida? Prologue: Florida is now the fastest growing state, and DeSantis says people are moving there from all over because of him. We speak to people who did make the move, at least in part, for DeSantis's policies. (6 minutes)Act One: Among the big items in DeSantis's run for president is medical freedom. Producer Zoe Chace wanted to understand its appeal and its growing popularity. So she spent some time in Sarasota County, where one man — at the side of former Trump appointee Mike Flynn — is creating a sort of little parallel universe for this very thing. (33 minutes)Act Two: DeSantis has passed law after law about what can and can't be taught in Florida classrooms, starting as early as elementary school. And last spring, Florida Republicans introduced a bill initially proposing to ban things like critical race theory and identity politics, or students majoring in things like gender studies in Florida universities. Reporter Emmanuel Dzotsi followed how things unfolded at one of the biggest universities there, Florida State, from the bill's introduction all the way to its passage. He explains how professors and students have been preparing. (25 minutes)Act Three: Among the legislation introduced by DeSantis that has passed is a ban on minors receiving transition care. The bill passed into law a few months ago. We speak with a teen whose family has since had to flee the state in order to access the care they needed.
