August 29, 2026; 9am: The Trump administration has appealed a ruling temporarily blocking his efforts to restrict mail-in voting, after a Massachusetts federal judge prohibited the U.S. postal service from carrying out Trump's plan. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who is part of the lawsuit over Trump's mail-in ballot order, and Brendan Ballou, former federal prosecutor and former lawyer with the DOJ National Security and Antitrust Division, join “The Weekend” to discuss.

The flood disaster on the Nepal-Tibet border is far worse than first known, with hundreds now dead and more than a thousand missing, including dozens of Americans, as a lake swelling behind the debris raises fears of a second flood and rescuers race to reach survivors.Federal Reserve chairman Kevin Warsh gives a speech in Wyoming today after disappointing investors last month with talk of curbing inflation, leaving markets eager to know what he'll actually do about high prices. And a federal judge is weighing whether President Trump can put his name on the Kennedy Center, where the board wants a sign up within two weeks calling it restored by Trump, even though a court already ruled that renaming the memorial takes an act of Congress.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

In the last year and a half, President Donald Trump has put his name, image, or both, on a whole host of things — federal buildings, passports, the resident National Park pass, the administration's child savings accounts, the under construction border wall, and of course, the Kennedy Center. But why? Why is Trump so obsessed with seeing his name on pretty much everything that isn't nailed down (and a lot that is)? To find out, we spoke with Alex Wagner, host of Crooked Media's Runaway Country.And in headlines, the Iran war hits the six-month mark, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh suggests the central bank may have to raise interest rates, Trump announces a U.S. Space Academy, and Trump plans to send Vice President JD Vance to Ground Zero for the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy 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 email transcripts@crooked.com

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy discuss: Donald Trump's bizarre move to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” as his attacks on Canada escalate and his regime desperately tries to distract from the economy, the Iran war, and depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles. The brothers break down Trump praising U.S. adversaries while attacking America's longtime allies, and the collapse of his much-hyped “Economic D-Day” threats against Iran. They also react to Speaker Mike Johnson's panicked warning about Republicans losing the midterms and what his comments reveal about the stakes of the election. Plus, Trump's latest Kennedy Center scheme, growing questions about America's military readiness, and much more on the brother show.

ABC / Rosie / FCC — ABC is airing Rosie O'Donnell and suing Trump's FCC after previously kissin trump ass Secret Service is reportedly alarmed by Natalie Harp's letters. Trump will tear down the Kennedy Center if they don't put his name on it.

RFK Jr. is tied to conspiracy-tinged comments about measles deaths. Byron Donalds blames spread on illegal immigration. ICE arrests — ICE arrests surged—they're arrestin people with no criminal convictions to make their dumb damn quotas.   More folks in immigrant camps  than ATL population Deaf migrants — Deaf migrants deported without sign-language interpreters A mile of border infrastructure in Big Bend reportedly costs more than the park's annual budget.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Washington Post opinion writer Karen Attiah, who was fired for her remarks after the death of Charlie Kirk, has been reinstated to her job after winning in arbitration.   Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook responded to Trump's latest effort to fire her by pointing out that multiple members of Trump's own cabinet made the same paperwork error she did on a mortgage application, and no one is accusing them of fraud.   Judge David Hittner, an 87-year-old Reagan appointee, struck down Texas's drag ban, finding that it would necessarily criminalize a lot of performances that are not obscene … including ones by Dolly Parton.   DOOFUS OF THE DAY:   Mike Lindell, the crackpot pillow pumper, lost his bid to be the Republican gubernatorial candidate in his home state of Minnesota. And he missed the deadline to pay for a recount. But he's not letting that stop him! He's suing everyone in sight demanding they surrender proof that the entire thing was rigged.   MAIN SHOW:   Florida Republicans are embroiled in a massive corruption scandal involving $10 million in taxpayer dollars for children's prescriptions, laundered through First Lady Casey Desantis's charity, and used for partisan political purposes, including defeating a marijuana legalization referendum. CBS in Miami got the grand jury report.   Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr. rebuffed Minnesota's motion to force Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to extradite ICE agent Christian Castro. Castro shot a man in Minneapolis and then lied about it, including filing a false police report. He was indicted in Minnesota, but Texas refuses to sign an extradition warrant, and now Castro has been released from jail.   Judge Cooper held a hearing today on the future of the Kennedy Center, after the board voted again to chisel Trump's name into the marble on the front of the place.   Judge Indira Talwani ordered the state plaintiffs to file an amended complaint in their effort to block the Trump administration seizing control of mail-in voting pursuant to Trump's executive order. Last week, the Supreme Court's conservatives blocked Judge Talwani's prior injunction on the theory that the states hadn't yet been harmed when they filed their original complaint.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   Update on Tuesday's hearing in our FOIA suit to get the evidence in the DOJ's ethics complaint against Judge Boasberg.   The Washington Post Fired Me.

Look Forward breaks down Trump escalating his trade war with Canada by signing an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America;" a genuinely bizarre 400 year old naming dispute born entirely out of tariff spite. Meanwhile, Trump's beef import plan is already causing real problems: 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef just got recalled in Texas and Florida, raising real questions about the plan's quality controls even as ranchers and consumers alike push back.Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner weeks before midterms that could make him Speaker of the House, a decision that's drawing serious criticism from the leftwing of the Democratic Party. SCOTUS handed Trump a technically favorable but ultimately inconsequential ruling on mail voting. A Republican midterm convention is shaping up to be an expensive, tone deaf disaster, with House members reportedly paying up to $100,000 to attend.In corruption news: the State Department is trying to sell a Kehinde Wiley painting because it's "too woke," the Trump administration is threatening to demolish The Kennedy Center if it doesn't get its way on renaming it, and Trump's own crypto ventures have left other investors nearly $5 billion underwater while he personally profits. We cover all of it; the pettiness, the corruption, and the genuinely bizarre.Look Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.

Let's talk about Trump demolishing the Kennedy Center if he doesn't get his way....

Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy joins Matt Wilstein on Obsessed to discuss her explosive new Netflix documentary, Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing. Kennedy reveals what she learned from Boeing whistleblowers, the devastating 737 MAX crashes, the Alaska Airlines door-plug blowout, and the tragic death of whistleblower John Barnett—while explaining why she now avoids flying on certain Boeing planes. She also opens up about growing up in the Kennedy family, her late mother Ethel Kennedy, speaking out against her brother Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump and the Kennedy Center, and the lessons she's learned from a career spent telling some of the world's most important stories.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showMost federal prosecutors win almost all the time, in part because they are careful about the cases they bring and in part because they're good at their jobs. Lately, Jeanine Pirro's US Attorney's office in Washington D.C. has only been winning about half the time. This week, we discuss what's likely driving the substantial number of acquittals and mistrials. We also look at Ghislaine Maxwell's unsuccessful pro se appeal, and about whether it matters that Michael Cohen recanted (sort of) his testimony that helped convict Donald Trump in the Manhattan DA's falsification of business records case.That's for all listeners this week. Paying subscribers also hear about:* A partial victory for Alex Jones on appeal of the defamation judgment against him in Texas* A win on appeal for James O'Keefe that causes us to revisit the Food Lion case.* A defamation loss for The New York Times.* A terse Supreme Court order on the White House ballroom, with more likely to come, and* Trump's latest Kennedy Center litigation gambit: Threatening to tear down the building.Upgrade your subscription to hear the whole episode at serioustrouble.show.

More than 165 people are dead and as many as 1,500 are unaccounted for following catastrophic floods devastating towns and valleys along the Nepal-Tibet border. In Nepal's hardest-hit Rasuwa region, videos show the power of the floodwaters as they tore apart bridges and swept people away. Authorities believe the disaster was triggered by a landslide associated with a glacial event in the Himalayas, which sent a massive surge of water. Emmy award-winning news anchor David Shuster is sitting in for Mark today. He'll speak with former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz about the recent ruling on voting by mail and so much more.

President Donald Trump signs an Executive Order renaming Lake Ontario on the U.S.-Canadian border to Lake America, as the U.S.-Canada trade war shows no sign of ending; President Trump flies to Houston, Texas to raise money for Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton, who is in a close race with Democratic nominee James Talarico; House Speaker Mike Johnson also campaigns today in Texas for Republican U.S. House candidates in Congressional districts that could decide the balance of power after election day; Data centers have become a campaign issue around the country seemingly overnight. We will talk about it with Nicol Turner Lee, director of the Brookings Institution's Center for Technology Innovation (34); Attorney General Todd Blanche in Puerto Rico announces a major international drug trafficking bust; Federal judge holds a hearing on the future of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, both its renovation and whether to add Donald Trump's name to the facade; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says goodbye on her last day on the job at the White House.

On our radar this week… Jeff takes a week off and just like that, Trump starts another war! This time with him smack-ass in the middle of it. Jeff and his bride were in Canada's Maritimes and was attacked with Canadian kindness, poutine, real beef and not diseased Argentinian horse meat, the best lobsters and oysters in the hemisphere, and the inability of artisans and merchants to ship their goods to their traditional U.S. partners – or even for me to ship purchases home, due to the economically illiterate tariffs and self-destructive imbecilic trade war with our closest cousins. Back here in the U.S.A.: Trump's war could really cost him, eh? Senate and gubernatorial races in Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine and Ohio are already being impacted by the economic turmoil spinning off Trump's latest stupidity. Too bad for John James and Mike Rogers, Porky POTUS spent much of the week focused on his issue Number One: naming things after him, including: Another effort to put his name on the Kennedy Center despite a court order, threatening to tear down the Center if he doesn't get his way; Stripping the name of a World War II hero off a new aircraft carrier, reportedly instead renaming it for him, while ordering the Navy to spend billions on redesigns of carriers so they looked like World War II carriers and revert to outdated steam-powered launch systems; Inscribing a plaque on his under-construction helipad with his signature, clearly delighted that the new granite slab outside the White House will be a great place for cocktail parties. Reportedly deciding to use his $400-million political bankroll to run an advertising blitz on the Greatness of Trump … instead of directly supporting Republican candidates. But Michigan Republicans aren't joining the Trump Name Game. At their weekend state nominating convention, none of their candidates for state office mentioned Trump even once. Their focus was putting lipstick on the pig that is the GOP record on the economy. I wish them all smashing luck as they contort themselves into cartoonish pretzels in their futile efforts to avoid being fatally tethered to Donald Trump's venereal disease-level job approval. State Republicans are also reeling from what appears to be a growing Blue Wave. The non-partisan Cook Political Report has moved two Michigan congressional races away from the GOP: in the Macomb County based 10th district, from Leans Republican to Tossup … and in the Saginaw Bay region 8th from “Lean Democratic” to “Likely Democratic.” State Democrats are sharpening their verbal axes as we approach the traditional Labor Day launch of the campaign. The Canada Trade War drew immediate fire from Lt. Governor nominee Winnie Brinks, and 10th district congressional candidate Christina Hines. Senator Elissa Slotkin, in a speech to UAW leadership, said a longer term threat posed by the Trade War is Canada's growing partnership with China on sales of EV's … and Trump then allowing those cars across the Gordie Howe Bridge. Abdul El-Sayed is highlighting the obvious challenge facing Mike Rogers in the Senate campaign: does he risk angering Donald Trump breaking with him on issues beginning with the Trump-created Iran war, and the emerging hot-button issue of Data Centers. But the possibly most ominous development of the week came from the very Trumpy Supreme Court, which has started to open the door to a federal takeover of elections. Without ruling on the merits of Trump's Post Office deciding who gets to vote, Chief Justice John Roberts gave Trump permission to begin implementing his executive order. It was all part of a bizarre week that can probably be summed up in two words: Lake America, Trump's latest Sharpie-labeled change to world maps. And we have more developments on state ballot proposals for November – both of those stories directly involving Mark. He has been on a winning streak in his election-related battles, and provides an update: what’s in, what’s out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I Will Always Love You” The feeling is mutual.

Today's Headlines: Dolly Parton, the legendary country singer, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist, has died at 80. Beyond music, she leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of generosity and her work supporting medical research. Shifting gears, the CIA director made an attempted secret trip to Moscow with the plane sitting on the ground for eight hours and no explanation of who Ratcliffe met with or why, with possibilities ranging from hostage negotiations to addressing Russia's recent NATO provocations. Pivoting to the trade war, Canada announced 50% retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion in American goods effective September 8th, matching Trump's tariffs dollar for dollar on dairy, seafood, steel, appliances, and toilet paper, while Trump responded by threatening to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America on a gold-lettered map posted to Truth Social. That'll show them. And since we're on the subject of renaming, the DOJ argued in court that the Kennedy Center will collapse into a "decrepit structure" without Trump's name on the facade. On the Iran war beat, Tulsi Gabbard reportedly warned Trump before he started the Iran war in February that Iran would immediately close the Strait of Hormuz, that killing the Supreme Leader would produce a more hardline regime pursuing nuclear weapons, and that Iran would strike US bases across the region — all of which happened. On “the decline,” the Agriculture Secretary couldn't say where the 300,000 metric tons of mystery ground beef is coming from, saying conversations are "still going on," which is not reassuring. Two unvaccinated people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania died of measles — the first US measles deaths this year — amid a local outbreak of nearly 400 cases, a third of them children, as case numbers continue to break records for the most since measles was eliminated in 2000. Gary, Indiana is entering its second week without power for thousands of residents with no restoration in sight, and Darline Graham won her South Carolina Senate runoff, spending nearly a million Trump-backed dollars to inherit her brother's seat and run against Dr. Annie Andrews in November.

The CIA director travels to Russia for a high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin—but what was discussed, and could this signal that another war is on the horizon? We break down the latest developments, what the meeting could mean, and all the major updates from the war in Iran. Plus, Donald Trump is threatening to demolish the Kennedy Center if his name isn't added to the building. We'll unpack that bizarre demand and share an absolutely insane update from the court battle.

Donald Trump wants to change the way the Kennedy Center looks. Mark explains how John F. Kennedy had very similar values to Trump. Hillary Clinton may be making a run for President in 2028. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Chairman of Forbes Media, Steve Forbes. Steve believes that even with sanctions against Iran, we may very well have to take military action against Iran to finish them off and put an end to the war. The guys also talk about how political races could affect the economy. What will happen with the Fed on Friday as we get closer to another meeting? Steve believes that raising interest rates when inflation goes up will hurt the stability of the country. Governor Hochul of New York City has passed a law that the NYPD doesn't have to cooperate with ICE under certain circumstances. 

Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham's sister, had a massive win in South Carolina, a state President Trump campaigned in for her. Dolly Parton's nephew, Bryan Seaver, gave a beautiful speech honoring Dolly Parton after her passing yesterday. Mark remembers special moments with Dolly Parton throughout the show today. Bruce Blakeman will hold a press conference today about his campaign. Meta has settled the social media trial in which the company was accused of keeping people addicted to social media, especially kids. The company will settle the lawsuit for up to $17 billion. The last of the underground mines at the Strait of Hormuz is mostly gone, which may prompt it to be opened.  Donald Trump wants to change the way the Kennedy Center looks. Mark explains how John F.

Dolly Parton started singing at a young age. Oklahoma's Democrat N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas won Oklahoma's Democratic Senate primary. Who will take Mamdani's spot when his term is over?  Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Mark and Ann talk about the comments Governor Hochul made about the NYPD not having to help ICE officers too much. Hillary Clinton agrees with Socialism in the USA, and there may be a reason she is doing that. The chances of AI ruining humanity may be far from that. Data Centers being built around the U.S. may be scary for people.

Today's Headlines: The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump personally called a senior DOJ official to settle the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation — days before trial, after Live Nation's CEO met with Trump at the White House to "discuss Kennedy Center bookings". Live Nation reportedly promised $10 billion in US investment in exchange for a favorable settlement so generous that most states refused to join it and kept suing, ultimately winning a jury verdict in April finding Live Nation illegally monopolizing the concert ticketing market. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to let Trump's mail-in voting restrictions move forward — not on whether they're constitutional, but on whether states had legal standing to sue — meaning DHS is now distributing citizenship lists to states and the Postal Service will only send ballots to pre-approved voters, with each state left to decide whether to comply before the Court rules on the actual merits, which is a convenient timeline heading into November. The Court also let Trump's ballroom-bunker construction continue while they decide whether it can continue. Yes, you read that right. On the immigration beat, the Trump administration is planning the largest mass visa revocation in US history, targeting up to 200,000 B1 and B2 visas held by asylum seekers issued between 2016 and 2026. And because somehow we are still at war with Iran even after “winning” several times, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held an event threatening any country that does business with Iran with "the full reach of American power" under something called Operation Economic Outcast, without specifying any actual steps or deadlines, while Iran's trading partners apparently told them they don't really care. And finally, today is the South Carolina Senate runoff between Lindsey Graham's sister Darline — who refused to say whether she would have certified Biden's 2020 win — and Ralph Norman, with Trump's super PAC spending $800,000 on her behalf.  Resources/Articles mentioned: WSJ: The Trump Intervention That Got the DOJ Off Live Nation's Back Axios: Trump says communities that oppose data centers are "making a mistake" NBC News: Supreme Court sides with Trump on some restrictions for mail-in ballots WaPo: Supreme Court eases path for Trump's sweeping limits on mail-in balloting Time: The Supreme Court Let Trump's Ballroom Proceed—for Now.
