Hundreds of thousands of California families rely on federal housing assistance programs to make rent- you might know it as Section 8 vouchers. Based on their income, they'll pay a certain percentage of the rent and the government pays the rest. Recipients include seniors, veterans, people with disabilities and children. But the Trump administration is expected to introduce new rules to these programs in the coming months. Some lawmakers argue that could make assistance harder to access. Guest: Sharon Quirk-Silva, California State Assembly California's investing billions of dollars into a new grade for 4-year-olds called transitional kindergarten. But the state hasn't set aside any money to evaluate it. Reporter: Elly Yu, LAist On Wednesday, the city of Escondido in San Diego County will discuss a controversial contract that its police department has with the Department of Homeland Security. The contract allows federal agents to use a local gun range for 20 days a year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode - John discusses the recent blizzard affecting the Northeast, the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's tariffs, and the ongoing political drama surrounding the State of the Union address. Then, he is joined by Professor Corey Brettschneider. The conversation touches on critical issues such as executive overreach, judicial accountability, and the state of democracy. Next, John speaks with Miles Taylor who is a national security expert that works in Washington, DC. Taylor previously served as chief of staff at the US Department of Homeland Security, where he published an “Anonymous” essay in The New York Times, blowing the whistle on presidential misconduct. He later published the #1 national bestseller A Warning, revealed himself to be the author, and launched a campaign of ex-officials to oppose Donald Trump's reelection. He's worked as an advisor in the George W. Bush administration, on Capitol Hill, as a CNN contributor, and is the cofounder of a DC-based charter school and multiple democracy-reform groups. His latest book is "BLOWBACK". And winding it up, comedian Rhonda Hansome returns to joke with John and listeners about the State of the Union boycotts and Toddler Trump's Tirades and Tantrums.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In the past few weeks, the Department of Homeland Security has posted regular lists of criminals it is deporting. Despite the Trump administration's claim that it is focused on the "worst of the worst," data from the nonpartisan TRAC clearinghouse shows nearly 75% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction.

When Donald Trump returned to office, he pledged the largest immigration crackdown in U.S. history. While public debate centered on mass deportations, a quieter — and potentially more consequential — transformation has taken shape: the rapid expansion of immigrant detention capacity inside the United States. New 2025 data shows that 77% of people newly placed into deportation proceedings had no criminal conviction. At the same time, ICE is consolidating more than 200 detention sites into 34 massive facilities — including proposed “mega-centers” capable of holding up to 10,000 people each. Planned sites span Georgia, Maryland, Texas, and Arizona, with total capacity projected to approach 100,000 beds. A controversial Department of Homeland Security memo now directs mandatory “re-vetting” of refugees at the one-year mark, allowing detention during inspection with no defined time limit. Critics argue this creates the risk of prolonged — even indefinite — confinement for people lawfully admitted to the United States. Federal judges have rebuked elements of the policy, citing constitutional concerns and unlawful detention practices. Meanwhile, fatal encounters involving federal immigration officers and a wave of collapsed federal prosecutions have intensified scrutiny. Supporters call the overhaul modernization and a restoration of order. Opponents see the construction of a permanent detention infrastructure that could outlast any single administration.

Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has received an approximately $1.5 million purchase order from the United States Coast Guard for the installation and deployment of previously ordered buoy systems. The award completes the acquisition cycle and clears the way for near-term field deployment of the systems in support of Department of Homeland Security maritime security missions. The company expects the order to contribute to near-term revenue as installation and deployment activities begin. Stratmann explained that under the scope of work, OPT will manage deployment, commissioning, and operational activation to ensure the systems are fully integrated and mission-ready. The buoys are expected to enter active service shortly after installation. Designed to provide persistent offshore presence, the systems enhance maritime surveillance, situational awareness, and operational effectiveness in challenging ocean environments. OPT's role spans manufacturing through installation and in-field support, ensuring continuity from delivery to operational performance. In addition, Stratmann shared that the company has shipped a WAM-V® autonomous surface vehicle to Greece to support ongoing customer operations and regional field activities. The deployment expands OPT's international footprint and underscores continued engagement across both defense and commercial maritime markets. The company has also advanced its integrated docking and charging program from prototype to full-scale build, incorporating autonomous docking and redeployment capabilities. Orders have been placed for key components to support system integration and open-water validation as OPT moves toward launching its first early access commercial solution, currently targeted for 2026. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann, #USGovernmentContract, #USCoastGuard #MaritimeSecurity #DefenseTech #AutonomousSystems #BuoySystems #WAMV #UncrewedSurfaceVehicle #MaritimeSurveillance #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity #OffshoreTechnology #BlueEconomy #AutonomousDocking #NavalTech #OceanInnovation #DefenseContracts #GlobalExpansion #2026Launch
Most people who talk about the Bible are pretty sure they know what it is they're talking about. But do they? Do you? How sure are you that when you say "the Bible" you're talking about the same thing as the person next to you? Today, we're diving into the surprisingly broad category of books that all bear the name "Bible". We'll explore who believes which canon, and why certain texts made certain cuts, while others were excluded. You'll never look at your Bible the same! Then... Woof. When Trump's Department of Homeland Security decides to quote Jesus in a recruitment video, you KNOW we're going to talk about it! And when they quote the Beatitudes? Something is seriously out of whack. Maybe DHS is taking on a new role, really trying to promote peace? But let's face it: probably not. ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma Follow us on the various social media places: https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma Have you ordered Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book The Bible Says So yet???

Snow is piling up by the foot across parts of the eastern United States today… but here in Washington, we're mostly dusting off our boots. Even so, the storm is having an impact — Congress canceled votes for the day, and federal offices opened on a delayed schedule. Still, preparations for tomorrow night's State of the Union address are moving ahead inside the Capitol. At the White House, President Trump held one of his final public events before that speech — highlighting what he calls one of his early policy wins, the Laken Riley Act. We'll bring you some of his remarks in just a moment. Meanwhile, reaction continues to Friday's Supreme Court decision striking down much of the President's tariff authority. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will oppose any effort to extend the current tariffs — while reports suggest Republicans are split on how to respond. That same divide is playing out over funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Talks between Republicans and Democrats remain stalled, and the White House has yet to offer a new proposal after last week's plan was rejected. And on the foreign policy front — questions over potential military strikes on Iran are fueling debate over a House War Powers resolution, already dividing lawmakers in both parties.

New Book: Lost in Time — Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge | An Interview with Jack R. Bialik | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli There's a particular arrogance embedded in how we talk about progress. We speak about innovation as if it moves in one direction only — forward, upward, smarter, faster. But what if the line isn't straight? What if it loops, doubles back, and occasionally vanishes entirely? That's the uncomfortable question at the center of my conversation with Jack R. Bialik. His book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge doesn't read like a history lesson. It reads like a case file — evidence, example by example, that the civilization we assume is the most advanced in human history is also, in some critical ways, deeply amnesiac. Take cataract surgery. We learned it in the 1700s, right? Except we didn't. Indians were performing it in 800 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had diagrams of the procedure dating back to 2,400 BCE. The knowledge existed, worked, and then — somewhere in the chaos of collapsing empires and burning libraries — it vanished. We didn't progress past it. We forgot it, and then reinvented it from scratch, centuries later, convinced we were doing something new. Or the Baghdad Battery: clay pots, 2,000 years old, that when filled with acid can generate 1.1 volts of electricity. We don't know what they used them for. We don't know who figured it out. We just know it worked, it existed, and then it didn't anymore. This is what Bialik calls the pattern of loss — and it's not random. It follows catastrophe: the Library of Alexandria, the systematic destruction of Mayan records, the slow erosion of oral traditions as writing systems took over. Knowledge disappears when the systems that carry it collapse. And here's where the conversation gets uncomfortably relevant: we are building those systems right now, and we are not thinking about how long they'll last. The curator at the Computer History Museum told Bialik that to preserve the data from early IBM PCs and Macintosh computers, they had to print it on paper. The floppy drives had become brittle. The formats were unreadable. The digital archive was failing — and the only solution was to go analog. A vinyl record from the 1920s still plays. A CD from the 1980s may not survive another decade. I've been thinking about this since we recorded. My brain is analog — that's not just a podcast title, it's a philosophy. I grew up in Florence, surrounded by things that had survived centuries because they were made to last: stone, fresco, manuscript. Then I jumped on the digital train like everyone else, seduced by infinite libraries on my phone, music on demand, knowledge at my fingertips. But what Bialik is pointing out is that fingertips are fragile. And so are hard drives. The deeper issue isn't storage format. It's the distinction Bialik draws between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the data — the cataract surgery technique, the battery design, the pyramid engineering. Wisdom is knowing why it matters, when to use it, and what the consequences might be. We've gotten extraordinarily good at accumulating knowledge. We are considerably worse at transmitting wisdom. And wisdom, Bialik argues, doesn't live in databases. It lives in the space between people — in stories, in teaching, in the slow transmission of judgment across generations. That's why oral tradition survived when everything else failed. Not because it was more sophisticated, but because it was more human. It didn't require a device to run on. I don't know how to solve the digital longevity problem. Neither does Bialik — not yet. But I think the first step is admitting we have one. That's actually one of the quietest, most powerful arguments in the book: be humble. We don't know everything. We never did. And some of the things we've lost might be exactly what we need right now. The question isn't just what we've forgotten. It's what we're forgetting today, while we're too busy scrolling to notice. Grab Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge — link below — and spend some time with a perspective that goes very, very far back. Which is maybe the only way to see very, very far forward. And if this kind of conversation is what you come here for, subscribe to the newsletter at marcociappelli.com. More of this.

A 16-year-old asylum seeker was apprehended by immigration agents in north Minneapolis last month. And unlike the thousands of people who were sent to the Whipple building, the Department of Homeland Security ended up sending him to a Christian youth shelter in Michigan. Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Susan Du followed his story and spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about her reporting on the young asylum seeker.
This special episode of The GovNavigators Show features a live conversation with Socure's Jordan Burris, former chief of staff to the Federal CIO, recorded at the Government Executive Federal Technology Priorities Conference.Jordan lays out a stark warning: modern fraud is not a series of isolated schemes, it's an industrialized, AI-enabled ecosystem operating at global scale. He explains how adversaries are using the same large language models, automation, and data-sharing techniques as legitimate organizations to defeat traditional identity controls in days instead of months, creating what he calls a “zero-day” environment for fraud.The discussion explores why long-standing federal fraud defenses are being outpaced, how commercial sectors have pulled ahead, and what agencies can do now to measure risk, modernize verification, and collaborate across silos. With hundreds of billions of dollars at stake each year, Jordan argues the government must move faster, test new approaches, and learn from industries already fighting these threats in real time.If you care about improper payments, digital service delivery, customer experience, or cybersecurity, this is a roadmap for how identity has become the front line.Show Notes:USA Today's story on Socure's age verification workSupreme Court rules against the administration's tariffsICYMI: upcoming changes to 8(a)What's on the GovNavigators' Radar:Feb 24, 2026:Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Hearing on Security ClearancesState of the Union AddressMar 4, 2026:Alliance for Digital Innovation's Understanding OneGov: Discussions with GSA LeadershipMar 5, 2026:Driving Government Efficiency Summit

After a series of protests that led to a protracted evaluation period, the General Services Administration is moving forward with the Alliant 3 procurement, announcing Friday the first round of awards for the governmentwide IT services contract. GSA said in an online award notice that it received 133 proposals for the Alliant 3 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) solicitation and selected 43 winners for the first phase. Those not chosen are still eligible for future award phases until the agency has selected all 76 recipients, per the notice. The announcement comes more than a year after the GSA issued the request for proposals for the next iteration of the GWAC award, which has no maximum dollar ceiling, due to unsuccessful bid protests from multiple vendors. The latest iteration of the vehicle is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for a variety of IT-based services that builds upon the GSA's Alliant and Alliant 2 GWACs. With these awards, agencies can issue task orders for services including cybersecurity, data solutions, systems engineering and cloud services, the GSA said. Longtime government contractors like Maximus, Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics Information Technology, and Leidos were among the 43 phase one winners. Democratic lawmakers are once again pushing back on the Department of Homeland Security's expansive use of surveillance technology, with more than a dozen members of a House Oversight subcommittee expressing concern in a letter to Secretary Kristi Noem over the agency's processes for collection and analysis of cellphone data.The representatives pointed to recent reports of the agency procuring tools from Penlink, which is said to collect cellphone location data and allow customers to search for devices, and Paragon, a vendor known to enable access to a mobile device without the owner's knowledge or consent. Without guardrails, these tools introduce risks to data privacy and civil liberties, according to the signatories of the letter, which was led by Rep. Shontel Brown of Ohio, ranking member of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation. “Location data can reveal intimate details of a person's life, including where they live, work, worship, go to school, or seek medical care,” the lawmakers said. “DHS could use these tools to identify individuals for targeting based solely on their presence in certain locations, without a warrant or probable cause and regardless of their citizenship or residency status.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Following are three email templates you can use if you live in the Great State of Washington. For all other states, please check the Substack article comments to find yours.

Email 1: To your Washington State County Prosecutor Dear, I'm writing to request that your office refer a matter to Attorney General Nick Brown for criminal investigation under RCW 43.10.232. In a January 16, 2026 court filing in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration (D. Md., No. 1:25-cv-00596), the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency, while embedded at the Social Security Administration, transferred agency data to an unauthorized third-party server called Cloudflare outside all SSA security protocols. The SSA has confirmed it cannot determine what data was shared or whether it still exists on that server. A DOGE team member also sent an encrypted file believed to contain the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 people to the Department of Homeland Security and DOGE leadership, and the SSA has been unable to access the file to verify its contents. The filing further revealed that a DOGE employee signed a "Voter Data Agreement" with a political advocacy group seeking to match Social Security records against state voter rolls to overturn election results in certain states. The SSA made two Hatch Act referrals to the Office of Special Counsel as a result. Separately, NPR has reported that DOGE engineer Aram Moghaddassi contacted the Florida governor's office about state voter data while working simultaneously at SSA and DHS, and that a DOGE associate publicly claimed to have matched SSA data against voter rolls at a political rally. SSA records include the personal information of Washington residents in [your county]. This conduct may constitute violations of Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). Federal officials do not have blanket immunity from state criminal prosecution when they exceed the scope of their authorized duties. I'm asking you to refer this matter to Attorney General Brown so his Criminal Justice Division can investigate whether Washington residents were victims of state crimes. The AG's office has confirmed it needs a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to act. You have the authority to open that door. Thank you for your time and your service to our community. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] Email 2: To the Washington State Governor Ferguson Dear Governor Ferguson, I'm writing to request that your office refer a matter to Attorney General Nick Brown for criminal investigation under RCW 43.10.232. In a January 16, 2026 court filing in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration (D. Md., No. 1:25-cv-00596), the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency, while embedded at the Social Security Administration, transferred agency data to an unauthorized third-party server called Cloudflare outside all SSA security protocols.

Separately, NPR has reported that a DOGE engineer contacted the Florida governor's office about state voter data while working simultaneously at SSA and DHS, and that a DOGE associate publicly claimed to have matched SSA data against voter rolls at a political rally. These actions may constitute violations of Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). The personal information of millions of Washington residents is contained in SSA records. Federal officials do not have blanket immunity from state criminal prosecution when they exceed the scope of their authorized duties, and a state conviction cannot be erased by a presidential pardon. The Attorney General's office has confirmed it requires a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to investigate and prosecute criminal matters. I'm asking you to make that referral so Attorney General Brown can determine whether Washington residents were victims of state crimes. Thank you for your leadership. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] Email 3: To the Washington State Attorney General's Office The Honorable Nick Brown, I understand that the Washington Attorney General's office requires a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to investigate and prosecute criminal matters. Toward that end I've written to both my [insert your county's name] County prosecutor [insert the prosecutor's name] and Governor Ferguson requesting that they make such a referral. Specifically, I've asked them to refer the matter of DOGE employees' handling of Social Security Administration data, as described in the January 2026 DOJ court filing and subsequent reporting, for investigation under Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). I wanted your office to be aware that this request is coming, and I hope Attorney General Brown will be prepared to act when the referral arrives.

On today's episode, we discuss the escalating cartel violence in Mexico, how it has trapped American tourists in resort cities, and what it reveals about the Mexican government's loss of control to organized crime. The hosts connect this chaos to broader security concerns, including a partial shutdown of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and a foiled attack by a heavily armed intruder at Mar-a-Lago, raising questions about strained federal protection resources. They shift to lighter but telling moments, from Tesla's self-driving quirks around “low IQ” dogs to New York City's requirement of multiple IDs to get paid for shoveling snow while not requiring ID to vote, as an example of skewed policy priorities. The conversation then turns legal and political, covering Louisiana welfare fraud prosecutions, limits on what SNAP can buy, and a major lawsuit accusing Meta of making social media unreasonably addictive for children. Finally, they explore the public's growing hostility toward Elon Musk, the prospect of AI arbitrators and even AI juries in future legal disputes, and the continuing fight over election integrity laws like the SAVE Act. Don't miss it!
As the nation prepares for the annual State of the Union address, Washington remains divided over a partial government shutdown and new legal boundaries for trade policy. While the Supreme Court provides clarification on executive tariff authority, tensions rise following security threats at Mar-a-Lago. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) joins the Rundown to discuss the path forward for Department of Homeland Security funding, the GOP's economic strategy for the 2026 midterms, and the need to lower the political temperature in America. Optimism exists among the restaurant industry, but it remains cautious. Costs are rising and so is the challenge of keeping a business open as consumers grow weary of high prices. National Restaurant Association Chief Economist Dr. Chad Moutray joins the Rundown to discuss the economic struggles operators face in providing quality service for consumers.

The Department of Homeland Security made a late night announcement: TSA PreCheck and Global Entry are suspended until lawmakers reach a deal to fund DHS. Democrats, and the airlines themselves, have accused the administration of using Americans as a “political football” to try and end another government shutdown.

Homeland Security changes its announcement concerning TSA PreCheck at airports. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.
AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a new headache for some travelers.
It's been about a week since the Department of Homeland Security entered a partial shutdown, with Democrats refusing to fund the agency until changes are made to federal immigration enforcement. According to the White House, we are still no closer to a deal. But Democrats are reluctant to budge, and polling shows that most Americans think ICE has gone too far with its enforcement operations. Recent reporting from The Wall Street Journal paints a chaotic picture of DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem. In her colleagues' view, she's prioritized getting photo ops for herself over getting results for the Trump Administration. So for more on DHS scandals and what the future holds for Noem, we spoke with Michelle Hackman, a reporter covering immigration for The Wall Street Journal.And in headlines, President Trump worries America's 250th birthday might be soiled by the smell of feces emanating from the Potomac, former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor gets arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and the Trump administration alienates MAHA by ramping up pesticide production.Show Notes: Check out Michelle's reporting – https://tinyurl.com/3xfpycmd Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
ICE is waging an “information war” on social media, TV, and radio. Washington Post reporters got access to thousands of chats and internal communications from the employees running PR for the Department of Homeland Security. They run a taxpayer-funded media machine whose main goal is to go viral, whether people love or hate the content. The goal is to go viral. But recent polling suggests the strategy could backfire. Listen to our interview with reporter Drew Harwell. *Note: Days after this interview was recorded, Harwell was laid off along with 300 of his colleagues at the Post.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a memo this week advising federal agents they should detain refugees and migrants who have not yet obtained a green card for an indefinite period of time for rescreening. This puts many people admitted to the U.S. during the Biden administration at risk.Across the U.S., the mayors of major cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are taking steps to limit ICE's ability to operate within their limits, vowing to prosecute agents who violate local laws.And representatives for Meta and Google, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, went to court this week over social media addiction.And, in global news, the Board of Peace met for the first time this week in Washington, with big pledges, but not a lot of details.President Donald Trump says the world will find out “over the next, probably, 10 days” whether the US will reach a deal with Iran or take military action. In recent days, the U.S. has surged military forces to the region while progress was reported at talks between American and Iranian negotiators in Geneva, Switzerland.Also this week, England's former prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in connection to his time spent with Jeffrey Epstein.We cover the most important stories from around the world in the News Roundup.Find more of our programs online.

President Trump says he will decide within 10 to 15 days whether to continue diplomatic efforts with Iran or authorize military action. On paper, talks in Geneva have been described as “positive.” In practice, the military posture tells a more urgent story. Significant naval assets are in place, including carrier strike groups positioned to project air power quickly.What stands out is the operational framing. The buildup appears geared toward air and naval strikes, not large-scale ground deployments. Bombs in, not boots in. That distinction matters politically and strategically. A rapid, targeted operation is easier to message and easier to contain. A prolonged engagement is not.I have no inside knowledge of what comes next. But the reporting suggests that every preparatory step short of execution has been taken. That does not guarantee action. It does mean the window for decision is real. If a strike happens, the political fallout will depend almost entirely on duration. Days are one thing. Weeks are another.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Andrew Montbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and later released. The scrutiny centers not on lurid allegations alone, but on claims that confidential trade documents may have been shared with Jeffrey Epstein during Andrew's tenure as a trade envoy.That is the pattern emerging from the latest tranche of disclosures. The most actionable material involves documents, authority, and institutional misuse, not the more speculative narratives that dominate online conversation. Trade secrets and official privilege are prosecutable. Rumor is not.If these allegations hold, the implications extend beyond Andrew personally. They could destabilize broader political relationships in the United Kingdom and intensify scrutiny of other high-profile Epstein associates. The sensational headlines grab attention, but it is the paper trail that moves prosecutors.DHS Funding and Pre–State of the Union BrinkmanshipBack home, the Department of Homeland Security funding fight remains stalled. Democrats are demanding immigration enforcement reforms, including stricter warrant requirements, ending certain patrol practices, and unmasking field agents. Republicans have labeled those proposals red lines and accuse Democrats of leveraging the shutdown for political positioning ahead of the State of the Union.Nothing substantive is likely to move before the president addresses Congress. The incentives run the other way. Democrats want to be seen as fighting. Republicans want to frame the impasse as obstruction. In the meantime, DHS operates in partial shutdown conditions, with essential personnel continuing work but long-term uncertainty hanging over the department.The broader dynamic is familiar. Shutdowns are blunt instruments. They energize bases but rarely deliver maximal outcomes. Eventually, one side cuts a deal and angers its most committed supporters. The only open question is who blinks first and how much rhetorical damage accumulates before they do.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:11 - Dave Levinthal on Dems' Midterm Fundraising00:27:24 - Update00:29:00 - Iran00:33:30 - Former Prince Andrew Arrested00:35:10 - DHS Funding Talks00:38:20 - Karol Markowicz on Republican Vibes01:21:35 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada is nobody's idea of a partisan firebrand. She's a moderate, swing-state Democrat with a résumé steeped in law enforcement — all of which makes her an unlikely leader of the Democratic-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which has now entered its sixth day.But over the past few months, Senator Cortez Masto said she was horrified by the conduct of federal immigration enforcement agents in her own state and across the country. By last week, she and many of her Democratic colleagues in the Senate decided to act on their outrage.In an interview with her on “The Daily,” Senator Cortez Masto talks about why she decided to support withholding homeland security funding, the political perils for her party in blocking that funding and why she believes most Americans support the strategy.Guest: Catherine Cortez Masto of NevadaBackground reading: Democrats and the White House traded offers, but a deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security remained elusive.A polling memo circulated among centrist senators urged Democrats to talk tougher on crime, while noting an opportunity for the party to appeal to voters with criticism of ICE.Photo: Eric Lee for The New York TimesFor more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

U.S. officials met with Iranian envoys in Switzerland Tuesday to negotiate the fate of Iran's nuclear program — and came away with a “set of guiding principles,” according to Iran's foreign minister. But trying to figure out what, exactly, each country wants in these talks is confusing at best. Both President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have made not-so-veiled threats of military action toward the other country. So what, exactly, is everyone doing here? Do they want a deal – or a war? To find out, we spoke to Nahal Toosi, the senior foreign affairs correspondent and columnist for Politico.And in headlines, CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert calls out his own network, President Trump lashes out over a sewage leak in the Potomac River, and Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin is leaving the Trump administration.Show Notes: Check out Nahal's work – www.politico.com/staff/nahal-toosi Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
