Send us a textNavigating the Mess: White Women's Role in Politics and MotherhoodHosts Mandy Griffin and Katie Swalwell delve into a discussion about the pervasive and historical role white women have played in upholding white supremacy through politics and motherhood. They reflect on the disorienting state of current events, the importance of local action, and the influence of female political figures like Krisit Noem, Pam Bondi, and Joni Ernst. The episode primarily focuses on the book 'Mothers of Massive Resistance' by Elizabeth Gillespie McCray, which explores how white women have consistently contributed to segregation and racism in America. The hosts highlight their disillusionment with the political system and express the need to understand historical patterns to effectively combat ongoing inequalities.00:00 Welcome to Dirty Laundry00:46 Life in a Dissociative State01:39 Trump's Women and Media Overload04:12 Commercials and Political Ads07:16 Trump's Surgeon General Nominee Controversy14:36 The Importance of Science and Research20:24 Influencers and Misinformation20:53 Marketing Manipulation and Grifters21:20 Political Commentary on Joni Ernst25:40 The Role of Motherhood in Politics27:26 Plant Research and Mutual Aid29:11 Introduction to 'Mothers of Massive Resistance'30:33 White Women's Role in White Supremacy43:42 Call to Action and Future Plans

Eric and Eliot discuss this week's jackassery (Joni Ernst's dismissive attitude towards Medicaid cuts, Trump's obsessive posting on Truth Social and his disconnection from reality) before moving into a discussion of the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian Long-Range Aviation and the degree to which it represents an inflexion point in military affairs. How much will future wars in different parts of the world look like what we witnessed this past weekend? How will autonomy and AI combine to change the character of war? They also discuss the situation in Gaza, the difficulty of discerning a political objective in Israeli military operations, Israeli policy in Syria which may be self-defeating and its potential impact on how Bibi responds to what may be a Trump Iran deal that looks an awful lot like President Obama's JCPOA.

In this episode of ITR Live, the conversation centers on a persistent theme: the growth in government spending at every level, and taxpayers are the ones footing the bill. Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson argue that despite the headlines and partisan noise, the real problem isn't tax cuts—it's the continued growth of spending in federal, state, and local budgets.The episode opens with Iowa political news: Representative Eddie Andrews has entered the race for governor, launching what could be the first step in a long conversation about who will carry forward Governor Kim Reynolds' conservative legacy. With speculation mounting about whether Senator Joni Ernst will run, and the growing sense that Congresswoman Ashley Hinson would be the favorite if she did, the hosts discuss the emerging dynamics of the 2026 race.From there, the focus turns to the federal spending package recently passed by Congress. Elon Musk's public criticism of the bill for increasing debt and failing to cut spending gets a spotlight, reinforcing ITR's message that Iowa families are paying the price for fiscal irresponsibility in Washington. But the hosts are quick to point out that Iowa is not immune—local governments continue to grow faster than population or inflation, and state lawmakers must stay focused on spending restraint.This episode offers a timely reminder: lasting tax relief can only come with meaningful spending control, whether you're looking at D.C., the Iowa Capitol, or your county courthouse.
Iowa political scientists examine local and global politics, including Sen. Joni Ernst's town hall comments coming under fire and the latest 2026 election contenders.

Trump pardons a grab bag of weirdo scammers, but it's the potential pardon of an (alleged) pervert that drew the ire of the history's greatest hater, 50 Cent.

Is Joni Ernst f'ing kidding me? We're breaking down the viral Joni Ernst “we're all going to die” Medicaid response and what it reveals about the GOP's approach to healthcare. Then, special guest Dr. Annie Andrews—a pediatrician, public health advocate, and Democratic Senate candidate taking on Lindsey Graham in South Carolina—joins for a conversation about the real consequences of Republican Medicaid cuts, the fallout from RFK Jr.'s controversial tenure as HHS Secretary, and the party's escalating attacks on children's health, SNAP, and basic decency. Dr. Andrews shares her front-line perspective as a doctor and mom, why she's running for Senate, and how the culture wars are distracting from policies that hurt families. Hosted on Acast.

Can you believe it's already June? So much has happened since President Donald Trump returned to the White House four and a half months ago, it's hard to process. In that short amount of time, Trump has unilaterally thrown the global trading system into chaos and tried to end the constitutional right of birthright citizenship. His administration has stripped billions in federal grants from universities, arrested international students, and put tens of thousands of federal workers out of jobs. The constant din of chaos is exhausting, and it's easy to grow numb to it, to normalize it. New York Times opinion columnist M. Gessen explains the parallels they see with early 2000s Russia, when President Vladimir Putin consolidated power, and what we can — and can't — learn from that period.And in headlines: Ukraine said it destroyed dozens of Russian military bombers in a massive drone attack deep inside Russian territory, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump Administration to temporarily lift deportation protections for around half a million migrants, and Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst told constituents worried about proposed Medicaid cuts that ‘we all are going to die.'

SEASON 3 EPISODE 131: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump believes Biden was cloned and executed. Five years ago. He sent this out on his social media account Saturday night:"There is no Joe Biden – executed in 2020. Biden clones doubles and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see…” If you hear or read that this was Trump RE-posting something that some OTHER lunatic wrote on Trump’s social media site, or that this was Trump TROLLING, or owning the libs - this is incorrect and minimizes the severity of Trump’s accelerating complete mental breakdown. Unlike the original, TRUMP’S version also includes a photo HE has added. No matter what YOUR explanation for this is, or mine, or Fox’s, or his enablers, this country cannot have a president who promulgates theories that his predecessor was a clone, or a body double, or a robot. The dynamic tension keeping someone this damaged and disturbed from deciding now’s the time to nuke the world because don’t worry the people HE likes won’t be affected, is the same as the dynamic tension keeping a badly built bridge upright. It can hold for years or decades and then one day it just collapses and kills everybody. MEANWHILE, MUSK INCONTINENCE STORY LEAKS: Elon Musk was reportedly peeing his pants non-stop during the election? Afterwards? I don’t mean metaphorically. I mean… peeing his pants. New York Times about Musk in May, 2024: “Around that time, Mr. Musk told people that his ketamine use was causing bladder issues, according to people familiar with the conversations... The Food and Drug Administration (warns) chronic use can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain and control." Where is the Jake Tapper book about THIS? Between THIS and Trump’s revelation that Biden wasn’t cognitively challenged last year and that instead he was dead and cloned and a robot - what does Jake Tapper do now? B-Block (33:14) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Con writer Kurt Schlichter thinks somebody else is "Two clever by half" never realizing...he isn't. Andrew Cuomo's excuse for breaking NYC traffic laws? He thought the reporters waiting to ask him questions about running for mayor were protestors. And Jake Tapper is losing roughly two viewers for every Biden book he sells. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL/SPORTSBALL CENTER: Baseball's annual commemorations of Lou Gehrig have begun. It's the right time to remind you that when "The Iron Horse" was stricken by ALS, plenty of America's top sports authorities were convinced he was either faking it or not deserving of sympathy.
