Every session of the Texas Legislature, Republicans file bills that affect Texans' access to reproductive health, in particular, limiting abortions. In a state that has outlawed most abortions already (even though most Texans support at least some access to abortion), lawmakers found some room for improvement at the local level and banned city and county programs like Austin's fund for abortion travel for residents. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Lucie Arvallo, the executive director of Jane's Due Process, to talk about which abortion-related bills passed and which ones failed at the Texas Legislature this year.  Learn more about the sponsors of this June 16th episode: Tecovas Visit Port Aransas Babbel - Get up to 60% off at Babbel.com/CITYCAST Zach Theatre Want some more Austin news?

Welcome to Immersion You Have Reached Strata 1Renyke Wakes in the Alley (Purpose)What is your purpose here? What drives your desires and achievements? Is there a greater good you seek? Is there anything more important than yourself? You are but a fleck of dust within a universe you cannot control.And yet, decisions you make today will affect everything around you in an unprecedented future. Your past actions, the very existence of you, have made a difference to the world. What is your past? Have you learned lessons? Are you controlled by unrecognisable forces or are you your own God?Welcome to Immersion, may your journey go well.Renyke's inner motors began to whirr.He had put himself into voluntary shutdown during the dark-cycle in order to save power.POSition within the human household as a domestic servant had been more than suitable and had sustained him all of his life till now, albeit a short one in human years. He was around a decade old which was quite a long life for an android. New technologies and updates marked regular upgrades and there was little call for used 'droids'.Now, here on the cold paved ground in the open air, Renyke could feel changes in his body and surroundings. There were unfamiliar sounds and an ever-present white noise from the activities of strangers in a cityscape he had not seen before.An unrecognised sense of trepidation washed around him and occupied his thoughts. Renyke was not programmed to experience fear, the feeling must have been something else.From the start of his operational cycle, Renyke had performed the necessary housekeeping duties within an interior domain. It was a twenty-four-hour installation that bound him by duty and programming to put humans first. To any human, until today, Renyke had been subordinate. Things had become difficult after the arrival of another android, a female version 12 named *Ableteen, who was considered the fastest domestic to date, (this 6th day of the 11th *Moonturn 2289).  Ableteens were able to preserve battery power with a hybrid electro-solar panel on the back and shoulders. This worked well in the new modern glassed apartments of the suburban zones. These cutting-edge designer houses were maximising sunlight like never before in the new *Midcast Housing Projects.Some of the new apartments even came with the Ableteens installed and ready to help the occupiers enjoy the best life possible.Renyke was not the only older domestic robotic servant to have had their contract abruptly terminated. Some were simply dismantled, some were thrown into crushers still working, and some were being recycled into experimental hybrids for illegal purposes.Renyke noted that although he was now a vulnerable street-bot, he was spared a wasted end. Perhaps, now without enslavement, there would be new experiences. He had never cared before, after all, he was an emotionless droid. But today here in unfamiliar surroundings there was some sort of excitement. Something was calling him towards adventure.All robots since 2050 had been installed with a clear-mode which enabled eco-friendly destruction. Parts had to be handed into the municipal facility to avoid issues with landfills and accidental hybrids. There was talk of an underclass of feral bots who were made out of parts from the old dumping grounds before the eco-legislation had been implemented. They say that some of these bots were made by the bots themselves; innards and parts that had communicated and joined forces across the debris of twisted metal and wires.Mabel, the daughter from the family Renyke had worked for, had un-twinned him from the household appliances and deleted the software that had once meant he could never leave. Together they had upgraded his operating system with drivers available via an underground organisation called Redact.Renyke had been created to blend in, in the midcasts, but Mabel had decided to mess him up a bit for a new life in the outer zones. Safety was in the camouflage of the ordinary.Some robots had been designed to look aggressive, others looked like adult child hybrids who were designed as pleasure bots. Generally speaking, all robots found the open streets difficult. Artificial intelligence-led service androids were legally programmed to be submissive and they were picked on and abused in their short lifespan. Even strong exteriors would eventually break under such conditions.The streets in the outer zones were crime-ridden. Since the pandemics, no law-abiding human citizen walked outside. For the most part, humans in the zones were there to partake in vice and black market trading. Androids were there to be used, abused and discarded.Renyke's insides were a complex mass of wires and electrical paraphernalia that ran a well-balanced functioning machine.But the outside world was alien and Renyke needed to explore it to become fully educated on the customs and the environment. He was programmed to learn. His algorithms had been set to gain an advantage in unchartered terrain by observing closely the details of situations. This was key to making robust decisions for survival. He also had a reliable and omniscient personal operating system to guide him.Together, Mabel and Renyke had researched what they could but there were pockets of the outside world that had been effectively erased because of a system of cloaking. Areas beyond the midcast projects were cloaked in fake maps that even the most sophisticated satellites were unable to penetrate or decipher. Distances and information about the terrain were usually falsified.The records had become unreliable because of the sabotage of information that had all been digitised after the warmings. It had become a confusing mass of fake news and blurred living memories. But after the tech wars with China and Russia, and the pandemics, there were so few old people left and memorial information was mostly unreliable.Many myths prevailed. Inside the Midcast Projects, things were different, they were much more organised. Legislators and the executive had rectified the situation and made records of everything.The government had recorded every human being's iris print and DNA before they were born. It was a strict government rule that any pregnant human, male or female, had to inform the legislators and they were scanned immediately. It was impossible to get through life in the Midcast Projects without being categorised and having all your data recorded for the rest of your life and beyond.But beyond midcasts, here in this unfamiliar natural light, even the smells were unrecognisable.It took just a few seconds to warm up and reboot.The surroundings were scanned as Renyke checked the 360-degree orbital range from the silent detectors inside his *POS.He was fully charged and his battery life would last months.Suddenly there was a warning....Unknown Danger Approaching ...... Left Ground LevelRenyke engaged his internal antenna and watched a furry creature scurry past. His scanners perused the information app. POS informed Renyke about the creature.Rat, rodent, possible food sourceRenyke engaged his arm extension and snatched the rat from the ground. He brought it close to his face, and studied it, carefully analysing its properties.to be continued© 2025 Sarnia de la Maré

Republican lawmakers in Madison and Washington, DC proved again on Wednesday they have no intention of doing what most Americans think politicians ought to do: compromise and work together. In both cases, they're trying to ram through whatever they want, whatever the price. That kind of attitude has life-or-death applications, as we're reminded by Earl Ingram, when you see the ongoing death and damage happening because of legislators who put their own pocketbooks ahead of safety, renters' rights, and common sense.

Chuck Todd reacts to Elon Musk leaving the Trump Administration and discusses the valuable lessons to be learned from Elon's tenure. Chuck also reacts to the recent pardons by Donald Trump and explains why they are bad for the country. Then he discusses the problems with the “big, beautiful bill”.Then, Chuck is joined by Amanda Litman, co-founder and president of Run For Something, to discuss the future of Democratic leadership and the urgent need to recruit a new generation of candidates. They examine how Republicans, following the lead of Newt Gingrich's GoPAC, have outpaced Democrats in preparing talent for public office — and why the Democratic bench remains so thin.Litman shares insights into the challenges young progressives face, from lack of institutional support to financial and family pressures. They discuss the messy but well-intentioned efforts like David Hogg's DNC initiative, the communication gap with younger voters, and why the information ecosystem is reshaping political engagement.Together, they explore the mechanics of candidate recruitment, debates over ideological litmus tests, and how Run For Something navigates hot-button issues like trans rights and independent candidacies. From socioeconomic diversity in elected office to the underrepresentation of renters and working-class Americans, this conversation is a candid look at how Democrats can rebuild from the ground up — and what success might look like in the 2026 midterms.Finally, in “Ask Chuck,” Chuck digs into the mailbag to answer one of the biggest questions about the state of politics.00:00 - Chuck recaps his weekend06:26 - Elon's Exit from Trump Administration14:43 - Reaction to Trump's pardons21:49 – Amanda Litman joins the Chuck Toddcast!22:19 – What is “Run For Something”?24:19 – Newt Gingrich started GoPAC to prep candidates on the right25:19 – The DNC dropped the ball on prepping candidates27:34 – Emily's List was good for candidate training, but only for women29:04 – There are very few young elected Democrats30:04 – David Hogg's DNC effort is a noble one, but messy for the DNC32:19 – The generational divide in the Democratic party33:49 – Democrats need younger leaders to speak to younger voters34:49 – The Republican party changed drastically in ten years35:49 – Voters under 35 have seen a lot of government failure37:49 – Voters receive their information so differently now39:04 – What is the process for recruiting and training candidates?42:49 – Is there an ideological litmus test for prospective candidates?44:04 – Trans issues have been very challenging for progressives45:49 – What if a candidate's passion issue isn't a voting issue?47:04 – Will “Run For Something” recruit and run independent candidates?49:49 – Could we see a lot of former federal employees run for office?51:49 – Will Run For Something get involved in debates about updating the democracy53:19 – Legislators should be paid more55:19 – Lack of money and kids are a huge impediment to candidates under 4057:19 – We need more socioeconomic diversity in elected office*59:19 – Renters aren't represented in Congress*61:04 – The Democrats have become the “presidency or bust” party*63:04 – If you want to improve the Democratic brand, you have to change the politicians65:19 – What does success look like in 2026 midterms?67:22 – “Ask Chuck”

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics including the influence of weather reporting on public perception, the ongoing debates surrounding gun control, and the implications of racial politics in America. The conversation also touches on personal responsibility regarding firearms and the challenges faced by activists in advocating for Second Amendment rights. Throughout the episode, Walters emphasizes the importance of community engagement and the need for accountability in both legislation and personal actions. Takeaways The media's portrayal of weather events reflects societal fears. Gun control discussions often ignore historical context and rights. The Second Amendment is essential for societal defense. Activism in gun rights faces bureaucratic challenges. Racial politics can obscure the realities of crime statistics. Personal responsibility is crucial in discussions about firearms. Community engagement is necessary for effective activism. Legislators often ignore the voices of their constituents. The influence of legacy media shapes public perception of gun rights. Accountability is needed for both individuals and institutions.

Outside influences, once we are consciously aware of them, cannot overpower our innate energy source within.Giving reactionary power to effects of politics, repetitive subliminal narrative, imposed terror, HAARP, electromagnetic frequencies, geo-engineering, unresolved traumatic issues, and even telepathic intuitions, without consciously identifying them, erodes your true strength.What is driving your moods today? Did you stay up all night scrolling through headlines, checking weather patterns, or struggling with night terrors from your past? Are you obsessively watching grid patterns in the sky or even moon cycles? Energy flows where focus goes.Identify the reality of worldly influence, then gently steer your thoughts back to embracing goals and possibilities. Change your thought, change your mood. What is it that you can affect today?I began this conscious exercise combating monthly cycles, choosing to never use hormonal changes as an excuse to complain. I put rules on my emotions so my emotions do not rule me, consciously choosing my thoughts. Once a month, I made it a rule that I could not think or say anything negative about myself, bloated or otherwise. This mental exercise began to change my world. Response over reaction reclaims and retains your own power. Take responsibility for your own life within realms of what you can change and impact. Response-ability is the ability to respond by choice.If imposed frequencies have you down, shift your focus within your own source of energy and exude it. Living the love you are is life's highest vibrational frequency. Lesser energies cannot penetrate when you exude the most powerful force in the universe. With that energetic energy driving your thoughts, it is easy to think of SOULutions to the bombardment of negative energies we all experience these days. Write your Congressman, visit your Governor, set appointments with Legislators, and approach them with concise, detailed facts of your complaints. Take up petitions, logically inspiring others to lift themselves above immobility and join your cause. If you emotionally take to the streets with a sign screaming at all passerbys, you are only adding to their immobility and no one- including you- accomplishes anything. Think it through and speak with others eye to eye, heart to heart, and soul to soul.When I was overwhelmed with my daughter Kelly's circumstance in custody of a corrupt system, I found myself drowning in my tears completely immobilized. I volunteered locally to combat litter at our State Park, which got me outside and focused on cleaning. This shift of focus helped clear my mind so I could positively affect my child's need.Negativity immobilizes while a brighter mind inspires clarity of thinking. Do you live in an environment of complaint, making it a challenge to rise above negativity? Rather than echo complaints by adding your own, or, worse yet argue, take the lead. Suggest a walk with assurance it has been helpful for you. Change the subject. Change your thought change their mood!My daughter Kelly and I are fortunate to have exercised mind over matter throughout our healing process thanks to Mark.  All three of us were aware of HAARP's affect, so together we learned to rise above imposed frequencies with conscious awareness. Mark was an extremely positive influence on Kelly and I both in light of his wisdom, which I am in turn sharing with you today. Sometimes just a word of encouragement, depth of understanding, or a reminder to live the love you are is enough to rise above immobilizing negativity.Read full article on Cathy's website Here!

How to Battle Anti Breeder Legislation Around the US [caption id="attachment_14021" align="alignleft" width="446"] Jennifer Clark joins fanciers at an event in Washington DC.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by Jennifer Clark, AKC director of legislative outreach, to talk about legislation in Oregon and what's happening elsewhere in the country and why it matters that fanciers get involved. “For those who are not in Oregon, or may not have been following it,” Clark said, “what this bill basically said initially is that the state has to start regulating anyone who breeds and sells in the state. So if you sell one dog, you suddenly have to be regulated. We don't have any idea what these regulations are going to be. “That was a huge concern for us because why should someone who's breeding and raising one litter in their home be regulated and inspected by the state? A lot of times in states when they're regulating breeders, it's on a commercial level. They're regulating the large commercial facilities or people who are doing this professionally and not those who are hobbyists or financiers. “And there are very specific guidelines that are often in place, such as drainage in your floors and kennel setups and temperature records. All these things like flooring are great if you have a large kennel building, but what if that's your living room? Then how are you going to be able to comply? Does that mean I have to tear up my carpet because it can't be completely sanitized? Do I have to put a drainage system in my laundry room? And does that mean that state has to come in and inspect my kitchen because that's where the whelping pen is. How do we handle these questions? So that was a huge concern. AKC Government Relations, NAIA, local clubs and fancier reaction resulted in an amendment to state ‘more than two litters,' Clark added and the bill is currently not passed into law. You can track legislation in your state with AKCGR's fantastic tool HERE. [caption id="attachment_14020" align="alignright" width="307"] Clark's grandmother with her show bred Cocker Spaniel circa 1930s,[/caption] “(Legislators) need to understand this group of people and who you are and what you do. And that is what's going to make the difference to them because you are the ones that are going to be directly impacted. You are the ones who are going to vote, and that's why they need to hear from you. And that's why we've seen any change on this bill at all. And that's why it's slowed down a bit is because of everyone who has written in and called. And we hope that you'll continue to do so,” Clark said. AKCGR is holding a legislative conference to help people learn how to interact on this type of legislation. The conference is scheduled in St. Louis on Saturday, June 14. “We will give updates on legislation around the country, provide fun, interactive sessions on how to be effective advocates for your dogs and our sport, and discuss how clubs can make a difference in their community,” Clark noted.

In the early hours of Friday, April 25, Indiana legislators passed a $46.2 billion budget for state expenses over the next two years—specifically, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. Legislators knew going in that state revenue to fund the budget would be tight, and they got a nasty revenue forecast with about a week to go in the session. The last week of a budget-writing session is usually pretty hectic, and this one had plenty of surprises as lawmakers tried to find ways to generate more tax revenue while simultaneously reducing funding for agencies and departments. Fledgling Gov. Mike Braun jumped headfirst into his first legislative session and made progress on his campaign promise of providing property tax relief. The Republican-led General Assembly also passed legislation aimed at lowering health care costs for Hoosiers with an approach that focused on hospitals. In both of those cases, of course, the bills passed were the product of much debate, lobbying, negotiation and compromise. Lawmakers also entered the session knowing that reforms would be proposed for the Indiana Economic Development Corp., the state agency charged with helping attract businesses to Indiana and helping businesses currently in the state grow. Its fate wasn't entirely decided until very late in the session. To take stock of the latest budget-writing session and how it will affect Hoosiers, we've invited a panel of reporters who covered some or all of the General Assembly to share their insights on fiscal issues and a few surprises. From the Indianapolis Business Journal, we have Cate Charron and Daniel Lee. And they're joined by Casey Smith of Indiana Capital Chronicle.
