Podcast appearances and mentions of Larry Nassar

We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe. On our radar this week… There is a lot on our radar along with Santa's sleigh… The Justice Department is dipping into the National Black Toner Cartridge Strategic Reserve as it redacts tens-of-thousands of pages of the Epstein files. Even so, the scandal continues to grow in a way not seen since the days of Monica Lewinsky. Larry Nassar, the disgraced onetime MSU sports doctor, is now a part of the scandal. A note allegedly from Epstein celebrates their shared perverted interest in vulnerable teenage girls. The FBI says the letter is a fake – and we know that Kash Patel would never tell a lie. The newly released files also show Trump was an Epstein Frequent Flyer … after saying for months he never flew on Lolita Airlines. Attorneys General are increasingly in the political bullseye. Democrats in the U.S. House may be joined by some Republicans to impeach Pam Bondi over the Epstein files debacle, even as Bondi continues to fail in efforts to indict New York AG Leticia James. In Michigan, state House Republicans are mulling over an attempt to impeach Attorney General Dana Nessel, something that would be totally symbolic but make MAGA Republicans feel good. The MAGA movement may need to get some couples therapy after an unhinged verbal brawl at the Turning Point USA weekend conference. We'll be joined later in the podcast by Politico senior Adam Wren who's been covering Turning Point's efforts to be a major political force. The next key political battle in Michigan: a special election for the state Senate. The primary for replacing now-Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet is set for February 3 … a swing district that will determine control of the state Senate for 2026. We'll take a look at the candidates on both sides. CBS News has gone from The Gold Standard for broadcast news to the toilet with Trump-favorable censorship of 60 Minutes. Murrow, Cronkite, Severeid, et. al. are spinning in their graves, and the very much alive Katie Couric calls it a “disgrace.” First it was the Donald Trump Institute for Peace, then the Kennedy Center, Trump Saving Accounts, Trump $1 coins. Now Donald Trump has decided an entire class of battleships will bear his name…and he'll play a role in designing them because, he says, “I'm a very aesthetic person.” Is the world's first gold-plated Navy fleet in our future? And will he continue his years-long business of licensing use of his name on other people's projects? Trump has raised the possibility of awarding himself a $1-billion settlement of the lawsuit he's filed against the government he runs…in effect, judge, jury and beneficiary. Why stop at a billion? Why not a trillion or gazillion? Of course he'll say tariffs will cover the check. We’re joined this week by Adam Wren, a national political correspondent for POLITICO, based in the Midwest. He is a contributor to POLITICO Magazine, Playbook and West Wing Playbook, focusing on Donald Trump's remaking of the federal government and the Democratic response to his return to power ahead of what could be a wide-open 2028 presidential contest. Wren previously served as a national politics features correspondent at Business Insider. He has also written for The New York Times and Washington Post. Originally from Ohio, Adam graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University and has a master's from Northwestern University's prestigious Medill School of Journalism.

The recent news linking Larry Nassar and Jeffrey Epstein stems from a document that appeared in a large federal release of Epstein-related records, described as a handwritten letter from Epstein to Nassar. Almost immediately, officials said the letter was not authentic, citing technical issues with handwriting, mailing details, and dates. On paper, that explanation is straightforward. But given the long history of mishandled evidence, delayed disclosures, and shifting narratives in the Epstein case, it is not unreasonable that the appearance of such a document—however brief—triggered questions before being dismissed.The government's position is that there is no verified connection between Epstein and Nassar beyond this disputed item, and no evidence the two ever corresponded. Still, the episode highlights a recurring problem with how Epstein material has been released: documents surface without context, provenance, or explanation, leaving the public to parse authenticity after the fact. Even if the letter is exactly what authorities say it is, the way it entered the public record reinforces skepticism—not about any specific claim, but about a process that repeatedly introduces confusion into a case where clarity and credibility have already been in short supply.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Letter to Larry Nassar, signed by ‘J.

El Departamento de Justicia ha publicado en los últimos días dos lotes de documentos relacionados con las investigaciones federales sobre Jeffrey Epstein, el financiero condenado por delitos sexuales que se suicidó en prisión en 2019. Esta liberación de documentos confidenciales, en los que hay miles de páginas, fotografías y correos electrónicos, responden a una ley aprobada por el Congreso en noviembre de este año, que obliga al Departamento de Justicia a hacer públicos la mayoría de los registros no clasificados sobre Epstein y su cómplice Ghislaine Maxwell. El primer lote apareció el viernes pasado y consta de más de 13.000 archivos. El segundo se hizo público el martes con otro dossier de casi 30.000 páginas. En los archivos encontramos los indicios incautados por el FBI en las tres residencias de Epstein (Nueva York, Palm Beach y su isla privada en las Islas Vírgenes), registros de vuelos de su jet privado, entrevistas del FBI con víctimas, varias versiones de su testamento y materiales sobre sus últimos días en prisión. Entre los elementos destacados hay fotografías (muchas ya conocidas de procesos judiciales previos) que muestran a Epstein con figuras prominentes como Bill Clinton, un pasaporte austriaco falso caducado en 1987 y versiones del testamento donde nombra como posibles albaceas a personas como Larry Summers y Jes Staley. También figura una carta, que supuestamente Epstein envió desde la cárcel al delincuente sexual Larry Nassar, mencionando a Trump. Según el FBI esta carta es falsa. Los documentos contienen numerosas referencias a Donald Trump, especialmente recortes de prensa y registros de vuelos de los años 90. Un correo de un fiscal federal del año 2020 indica que Trump voló en el avión de Epstein al menos ocho veces entre 1993 y 1996, algunas con Maxwell y varias mujeres jóvenes. Estos viajes ya se conocieron durante el juicio de Maxwell hace cinco años. El Departamento de Justicia ha insistido en que algunas acusaciones contra Trump son infundadas, y el presidente ha negado que cometiese ilegalidad alguna. También ha recordado que que cortó la relación con Epstein antes de su primera detención en 2006. La publicación ha generado críticas de ambos partidos por la cantidad de tachaduras que presentan los documentos y el hecho de que la liberación sea parcial. Esto consideran que es un incumplimiento de la ley. Los Demócratas y las víctimas de Epstein exigen más detalles y que se presente el material sin censura de ningún tipo. El Departamento de Justicia ha prometido seguir liberando documentos en las próximas fechas. Aunque de esta documentación no se extraen pruebas contra nadie que no sea el propio Epstein o Maxwell, que ya está en la cárcel, las tachaduras alimentan las especulaciones. Mantienen además el caso como un foco candente de división, especialmente dentro del movimiento MAGA, que es donde con más devoción se ha vivido el escándalo Epstein desde sus inicios.

After the Department of Justice announced they were investigating an alleged suicide letter signed by J. Epstein to Larry Nassar, it followed up confirming the FBI deemed the letter a “FAKE.” The letter, which claims “our President likes young nubile girls too”, was one of the more incendiary files released in the DOJ Epstein file drop on Tuesday. This latest back and forth has made the entire process even more confusing and frustrating, with the DOJ now eroding any trust in what we are reading or seeing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Epstein files have dropped, and the fallout is growing. Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller, and JVL discuss what's new in the latest release, why the DOJ's clumsy redactions and selective disclosures made things worse, and how the accumulating evidence and hypocrisy are starting to break through to voters. They also talk about Trump's distraction tactics, JD Vance's political viability, and why the old Trump bargain isn't holding anymore. NOTE: The Justice Department in a tweet later on Tuesday, after the episode was taped, said that the alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar was determined by the FBI to be fake.

John talks about the Supreme Court blocking Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago, but the National Guard in Louisiana have been called up for an upcoming deployment to New Orleans. He also discusses the DOJ releasing more files on Jeffrey Epstein, including an alleged letter to Larry Nassar. Then, he welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and a former executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. And closing it up, John jokes with "Comedy Daddy" Keith Price and they take listener calls about pop culture, current politics, and the year in review.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Six months ago, MAGA world was strutting around with their chests puffed out. But now, many of them are having a blue Christmas over the infighting, the economy, the DOJ's inability to deliver revenge, and Trump's cover-up of child sex traffickers—one of the key things they really cared about. All Trump can think to do is plaster his name on another large object, including most recently a new fleet of warships. Plus, the bourbon shutdown, Bari's getting burned by Canada also airing "60 Minutes," the president could move Ghislaine out of her cushy prison, and Epstein in his alleged letter to Larry Nassar really sounds like "Access Hollywood" Trump.  Tom Nichols joins Tim Miller.

The Department of Justice sent out a tweet before releasing more than 30,000 new documents from the Epstein files, saying some of the documents contain “untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump.” The documents in fact, do contain damning documents from an apparent suicide note from Epstein to Nassar along with flight logs that show Trump on Epstein’s private plane more times than previously known, apparently with alleged Epstein victims. While the President is NOT accused of doing anything criminal, it is certainly raising a number of questions. Also, in today’s document dump, a jaw dropping email reportedly from former Prince Andrew to Ghislane Maxwell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump is sad that his fellow Epstein buddies are being shown in the latest batch of photos. New files were dropped by the DOJ which includes a gross letter to Larry Nassar.

The Epstein files keep coming out, and instead of clarity, they are producing something far messier: suspicion without resolution and outrage without proof.What we are seeing now is not the mythical document many people imagine, a clean list pairing powerful men with specific criminal acts. That list does not exist. What exists are FBI files and grand jury materials filled with allegations, some credible, some vague, many never fully investigated. The result is a widening cloud of suspicion over a long list of names, with no clear answers about who did what or why prosecutors failed to act when they had the chance.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.That ambiguity is why this release satisfies no one. New documents, like the bizarre and possibly fake letter to Larry Nassar attributed to Epstein after his death, only deepen confusion rather than resolve it. If the Trump administration delayed releasing these files out of fear of what they contained, that decision backfired badly. The slow drip has turned the Epstein case into a permanent Rorschach test, where everyone sees what they already believe. Until the Justice Department explains what it has, what it does not, and why accountability failed for so long, the Epstein story will remain unresolved and corrosive.Chapters00:00 - Intro01:39 - Epstein05:16 - Tevi Troy on Lame Duck Presidents49:41 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In this episode, with Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse, we dive into the shocking and disturbing details surrounding the latest Epstein file release.   Newly surfaced documents include a deeply troubling letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, raising urgent questions about power, protection, and the systems that allowed abuse to persist for so long. Doug and Robb unpack what's actually known, what's still unclear, and why this moment matters—not just as a headline, but as a window into how institutional silence, influence, and moral failure intersect. This is an honest, sober conversation about accountability, truth-telling, and why confronting uncomfortable facts is essential if we hope to prevent future harm.

Newly released DOJ files include an alleged August 2019 letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, written while both men were incarcerated shortly before Epstein's death. A separate DOJ email claims Donald Trump took at least eight flights on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet between 1993 and 1996, sometimes with Ghislaine Maxwell and family members onboard. Plus, Bill Clinton's spokesperson is demanding the release of all Epstein-related files involving the former president. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The FBI has faced sustained and bipartisan criticism for its handling of major sexual abuse cases, most notably those involving Larry Nassar and Jeffrey Epstein, where clear warning signs were missed, complaints were mishandled, and opportunities to stop ongoing abuse were squandered. In the Nassar case, the Justice Department's own inspector general found that FBI agents in the Indianapolis field office failed to properly document victims' allegations, delayed action for more than a year, and made false statements about their handling of the case—during which time Nassar continued abusing young gymnasts. Survivors later testified that the FBI's inaction directly enabled further assaults, turning what should have been a law-enforcement intervention into a catastrophic institutional failure marked by negligence, indifference, and self-protection.Similar patterns have been identified in the Epstein case, where the FBI possessed credible intelligence about Epstein's sexual exploitation of minors as early as the mid-2000s yet failed to act decisively. Despite evidence of interstate trafficking, multiple victims, and powerful co-conspirators, federal authorities deferred to a deeply flawed Florida investigation that culminated in a secret non-prosecution agreement, effectively neutralizing federal enforcement. Critics argue that the FBI's passivity, combined with its willingness to accept prosecutorial hand-offs and jurisdictional excuses, allowed Epstein to continue abusing girls for years after he should have been stopped. Together, the Nassar and Epstein cases have become emblematic of a broader critique: that when sexual abuse allegations collide with institutional risk, reputational concerns, or powerful defendants, the FBI has too often failed the very victims it is charged to protect.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

***This programme contains references to sexual abuse which some listeners may find upsetting*** For decades, Larry Nassar was the doctor for the women's Olympic Gymnastics team and also treated athletes at Michigan State University. He was the go-to practitioner for sports related injuries but saw many women and girls outside of the sport as well. Rachael Denhollander was a teenager when she went to see Larry Nassar for treatment. She had been a gymnast as a child, and she and her mother believed Nassar would be giving her pelvic floor therapy for an injury. They soon realised this was not the case, but felt unable to challenge someone who was so revered by the sports establishment. Mike Wooldridge hears how Rachael's decision to do the right thing and publicly tell her story, at great personal cost, led to over 200 women revealing abuse by Larry Nassar. He finds out how her Christian faith was challenged as the story and trial became international news, how she decided to forgive her abuser and how she now works with survivors of sexual abuse in churches in the USA.If you are affected by anything you hear in this programme, it is important to talk to someone about it and get support. Talking can help to see a way through things, whether this is with a family member, friends, a doctor, or a support organisation.

Steven Nigg is a former federal inmate best known for his 2016 assault on notorious sex offender Larry Nassar's fellow high-profile prisoner, former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle. While serving time for a firearms conviction at a low-security prison in Colorado, Nigg became enraged that Fogle was housed with other inmates in relative comfort despite his crimes against children. In January 2016, Nigg attacked Fogle in the prison yard, punching him repeatedly and leaving him with injuries to his face and neck. Prison officials quickly intervened, and Nigg was placed in disciplinary segregation after the assault.The incident drew national attention because Nigg expressed open contempt for sex offenders and frustration at what he described as lenient treatment of such inmates. Although the attack did not lead to new criminal charges, it added to Nigg's disciplinary record and affected his prison standing. He later served out his original sentence before being released. The case highlighted both inmate resentment toward sex offenders and the broader challenges prison officials face in managing high-profile prisoners.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Speaking Out With Courage When It Matters MostIn this episode of Derate The Hate, Wilk Wilkinson sits down with Jennifer Sey — author, filmmaker, business executive, athlete, and outspoken advocate for children and women.Jen's story spans from the highs of being a national champion gymnast to the lows of enduring — and later exposing — an abusive system in her sport. She courageously told the world in her 2008 memoir Chalked Up and later co-produced Netflix's Emmy-winning Athlete A, which revealed the crimes of Larry Nassar and the toxic culture inside USA Gymnastics.But her courage didn't stop on the mat. As a top executive at Levi's, she spoke out against prolonged COVID school closures — and paid for it with her career. Her 2022 book Levi's Unbuttoned chronicles that fight and the price of telling inconvenient truths.Now, Jen leads XX-XY Athletics, a clothing brand dedicated to defending fairness in women's sports, and is producing the upcoming documentary Generation Covid to spotlight the long-term impact of school closures on our children.This conversation is about courage, candor, and the cost of speaking truth in a culture that often punishes it.

From the author of the critically-acclaimed true crime account, A Killer By Design (the inspiration behind Hulu's original docuseries, Mastermind), a groundbreaking look into the crucial role played by expert witnesses in the most high-profile criminal cases, based on Dr. Ann Burgess' personal experiences within the criminal justice system.Written through Burgess' singular lens of compassion and lived experience, Expert Witness pulls back the curtain on some of the biggest cases in the last thirty years—from Bill Cosby to the Menendez brothers to Larry Nassar—to reveal the deeply human stories behind the trials that have captivated a nation. The book explores the role of expert witnesses in high stakes court cases, offering first-hand accounts and never-before-seen interviews with attorneys, victims, and offenders.Expert Witness places listeners inside the mind of the nation's most prominent courtroom expert, following Burgess as she takes on one seismic case after the next. Throughout the narrative, each case deepens the listener's understanding of the art and science of expert testimony, taking listeners from the women's movement of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement of today—one of the largest social reckonings in recent history. At its core, Expert Witness is a story of empowerment. It's a story of compassion and the ever-increasing need for individuals to stand up and speak truth to power or to popular opinion. And it's ultimately a story of how revolutionary one voice can be. EXPERT WITNESS: The Weight of our Testimony when Justice Hangs in the Balance—Ann Burgess

In this episode of Is That Cashmere, we sit down with Bree Schlereth — Pac-12 All-American gymnast, wife of a former MLB player , cancer survivor, mother of three, and survivor of one of the most high-profile abuse cases in sports history.

She opens up about her childhood in gymnastics, the pressure and pain of silence, the moment cancer took her voice, and how she now chooses to use that voice as a beacon for others.If you've ever wondered how to rise above circumstances that threaten to break you, Bree's story will remind you: hardship doesn't define us — it refines us.

Five years after Jeffrey Epstein's death, survivors of his sexual abuse are still seeking justice through various avenues. Despite the establishment of a victims' compensation fund, which began accepting claims in 2021 and offers a confidential forum for monetary compensation, many survivors feel that true justice has yet to be achieved.Several survivors, represented by law firms such as Merson Law, are demanding accountability from institutions that failed to act on numerous allegations and tips about Epstein's activities. This includes the FBI, which is currently facing lawsuits for negligence in handling Epstein's case. Critics argue that the FBI has shown a lack of urgency in addressing the survivors' claims, in stark contrast to its actions in other high-profile sexual abuse cases, such as those involving Larry Nassar​.Moreover, Epstein's influence and manipulation of the justice system allowed him to evade significant punishment during his lifetime, further complicating the survivors' quest for justice. Epstein's 2008 plea deal, which resulted in a minimal sentence, and the subsequent lack of notification to his victims about the deal, highlight systemic failures that survivors are now trying to address through legislative reforms like the Courtney Wild Crime Victims' Rights Reform Act.The struggle for justice continues as survivors push for greater recognition of their suffering, legal accountability for those who enabled Epstein's crimes, and systemic changes to prevent such failures in the future.(commercial at 13:26)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:5 years after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest, push for accountability continues - ABC News (go.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

With NHL training camps set to open in a few weeks, the anticipation of a new season will begin. Still, the sport has received unwanted attention in an area that has had an unseemly history that goes back decades.On July 24, five members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Championship team were found not guilty of sexual assault in a highly publicized trial. While the decision was favorable for the players involved, the incident itself paints an ugly picture and goes deeper into today's culture and society.Katie Strang from The Athletic has covered the NHL as a reporter for Newsday and ESPN.com with her first work into investigative reporting being the Michigan State gymnastics trial in 2017.Having written other pieces on sexual abuse, Katie joins Neil and Vic to discuss the London trial, hockey's history of abuse and the responsibility of hockey's governing bodies going forward.IN THIS EPISODE:[01:54] - Katie Strang joins Neil and Vic and shares what led to her career moving in the direction of investigative reporting.[02:46] - Katie discusses her first major story as an investigative reporter covering the Michigan State Gymnastics case against Larry Nassar adding the indelible impact it had on her.[05:03] - The difficulty and challenges of detaching from covering a story such as that at Michigan State amidst having a family life.[06:43] - Strang speaks about the unusual happenings during the trial centering around five former NHL players who were accused of sexual assault while members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Championship Team.[11:20] - Even after the decision, public opinion remained very split. Katie shares why she believes this is so.[13:06] - Neil shares his personal revulsion to the the acts alleged in the case before raising the question of the future of the five players who were acquitted. Katie goes deep in her response noting Gary Bettman's ruling the players are still ineligible to return to the NHL, possible pushback from the NHLPA and what an internal investigation by the NHL may have revealed information which was inadmissible in court.[20:16] - Should any of the five players be reinstated, which team(s) would step forward and sign any of them knowing the possible public backlash which could follow?[23:04] - Katie turns the tables on Neil asking him what he would have done during the Rangers Cup run in 1994 had he been aware of a situation similar to the one which took place in Chicago in 2010.[24:27] - Vic follows up asking Neil whether he would have hired a head coach not guilty of a crime but banned for "inadequate response" as Joel Quenneville was.[25:59] - Given there has been a history of abuse in hockey that extends beyond the ice surface, the question is posed about the responsibilities of governing bodies such as the NHL and Hockey Canada to ensure a safe environment for all players. Katie goes a step further addressing systemic issues which still exist in hockey culture.[32:21] - The role of the media and its coverage of abuse.[34:57] - The discussion wraps up with another area of concern around hockey: concussions.[40:27] - Vic and Neil put a wrap on the discussion.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #SummerCoolers #CenebritySeries #KatieStrang #TheAthletic #RickWesthead #WeBreedLions #TSN #LarryNassar #MichiganStateAthletics #MichaelMcLeod #DillonDube #CalFoote #AlexFormenton #CarterHart #MariaCarroccia #GrahamJames #TheoFleury #SheldonKennedy #GaryBettman #MartyWalsh #NHLPA #StanBowman #JoelQuenneville #AlMacIsaac #KyleBeach #BradAldrich #PatVerbeek #DavidGove #ChrisWeiss #HockeyCanada

The FBI has not been a stranger to controversy, whether it comes in the form of Larry Nassar or failing to stop a school shooter who has been on the radar for some time. After costing the tax payers of the country countless hundreds of millions in payouts to claimaints who have sued them, you would think that someone would take the time to address the obvious problems that have been festering within the FBI for decades. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have happened and now, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, including Maria Farmer, have now demanded accountabilty from the agency that was supposed to protect them from people like Jeffrey Epstein. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Victim Maria FarmerDemands FBI Investigate Its Failure to Stop Him (thedailybeast.com)

Kristin Louise Duncombe grew up traveling the world as the daughter of a U.S. State Department foreign service officer. But Kristin's childhood and those of at least six other girls were shattered when they crossed paths with an American diplomat in Africa who sexually abused them. After one of the girls came forward with her story, the State Department swiftly sent him back to Washington, but officials declined to refer the case for investigation or prosecution. Kristin kept the secret for decades until she heard about the cover-up of sexual abuse by U.S. Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. Kristin joins me to discuss what happened in Africa, the investigation and cover-up, better ways to handle childhood sexual abuse and why she feels it is important for us, as a society, to have these conversations.To read Kristin's book about the abuse and coverup, Object: A Memoir:https://www.kristinduncombe.com/object-a-memoir/Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

David Horsey - Seattle Times The Musk coup is moving forward with minimal signs of effective opposition. Congressional Republicans are rolling over complacently while the Musk teenage Ninjas storm federal offices, and Democrats do little other than scream. A lot of federal employees deemed insufficiently loyal to the Mar-a-Lago golf pro are being fired, laid off or encouraged to quit … meaning literally millions of hours of professional expertise will be lost, replaced by True Believers. In Michigan, the race for the U.S. Senate is beginning to take form in both parties. We take a deep dive into the likely primary contests. Joining the discussion with an update on the turmoil in the state Legislature is veteran Michigan politics and state government reporter Lauren Gibbons from Bridge Michigan. Prior to joining Bridge's Capitol team, she worked at MLive, where she led coverage of the state Legislature and the redistricting process, and before that covered the state Senate for MIRS News. She has covered the ins and outs of Michigan politics for nearly a decade and has won awards both for her political coverage and her work documenting the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case. Lauren grew up in the Lansing area and graduated from Michigan State University, majoring in journalism and history. She lives in Ferndale, and her party tricks include Irish dancing and telling friends what political districts they live in without looking. She is also an expert on music that highlights Michigan! The first major partisan battle with the new split-control Legislature is underway, with the Senate majority leader suing the Speaker of the House. We begin this week's pod exploring that lawsuit with Majority Leader Winnie Brink's lead attorney in the case: the honorable Mr. Mark Brewer! =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management Joel Heller:Hellertoon.com

Amanda spends two years of her impressionable adolescence under the care of Larry Nassar, former family medicine physician and team doctor of the US women's national gymnastics team. Having not fully understood that what she experienced was abuse, it's only later—when Amanda and her husband struggle to conceive—that the details of her painful story come to light. Then, just as the case against Larry begins to hit the media, Amanda becomes pregnant. She steps forward, along with 155 other women, to testify against Nassar in court. Amanda uses her voice for the daughter she's carrying, and in the process re-discovers her own.
