The mail-in ballot saga has come to an end — for now. Mary and Andrew detail yesterday's Supreme Court decision rejecting President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting, which they call “good news” in the fight against election interference. “Knock it off,” Andrew says to paraphrase the Supreme Court: “we are not engaging in this.” Then, the co-hosts delve into two more examples of what they consider attempts by government bodies to meddle in the midterms, the first being Missouri's failed redistricting effort as the Supreme Court rejects the state's new Trump-backed congressional district map. The second: the Solicitor General's emergency motion to stay an injunction on the Trump administration's SAVE database, urging the court to restore the immigration verification system that was blocked by a lower court. Plus, the prosecutor who led the “grand conspiracy” investigation into Trump's political enemies earlier this year has left the probe. And former CIA Director John Brennan preemptively goes to court ahead of the government's likely prosecution against him.

The updates just keep coming. On Sunday, the Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court to ask for more control over mail-in ballots, coming two days after U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani's order blocking the government from implementing parts of the new Postal Service rule. Mary and Andrew analyze the case's implications as states begin sending out their ballots ahead of the midterms before turning to another update: a preliminary injunction issued in the CASA Inc. v. Trump case on birthright citizenship. Then, the co-hosts turn to the ICE agent involved in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during Trump's “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, who is now being federally charged with making false statements to the FBI about the event. They call this “good news” — an instance of the federal government choosing to intervene in an “outrageous” case instead of leaving it up to the states' discretion. Plus, the Supreme Court allows the construction of Trump's White House ballroom to continue.A Note to Listeners: As the 2026 midterm elections heat up, MS NOW is headed to the Lone Star State.

Let's talk about Trump's mail-in voting scheme making elections less secure for Republicans....
Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton is campaigning to break Democrats' iron clad grip on state governance. It's a steep challenge, but Hilton remains bullish that his message of change can win over independent and Democratic voters while his conservative credentials and endorsement by President Donald Trump help him maintain Republican support. He joins Marisa in studio to discuss his views on inequality in the state, how he would regulate AI and the backlash to data centers. He split with Trump, disagreeing with the president's attempts to limit mail-in voting. Hilton also said he is not concerned about the integrity of the November election and would accept the results.

Episode 5634: Tarrant County Revolt; Whistle Blower Comes Out Against Admins Lockdown On Mail In Voting
There are new claims this morning that the U.S. Postal Service is pushing out untested technology -- and pushing it out too quickly -- in order to comply with the President's executive order on mail-in voting. Now, a whistleblower within the Postal Service says this haphazard process could "derail" the upcoming midterm elections.
This Day in Legal History: Aaron Burr Acquitted of TreasonOn September 1, 1807, a jury in Richmond, Virginia acquitted Aaron Burr—the former Vice President of the United States—of treason, in what remains the only time such a high-ranking American official has ever been tried for that crime. The verdict was delivered in memorably grudging terms: the jury said Burr was “not proved to be guilty under this indictment by any evidence submitted to us.” Burr had allegedly conspired to carve an independent republic out of western territory, but he walked free.The reason he walked free is one of the most important principles in American criminal law. The framers of the Constitution, remembering how English kings had used vague, elastic treason charges to destroy their political enemies, deliberately wrote the narrowest possible definition into Article III: treason against the United States consists only of levying war against them, or adhering to their enemies, and—crucially—no one can be convicted except on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. Presiding over the trial was Chief Justice John Marshall, and Marshall enforced that definition strictly. He held that mere conspiracy, mere intention, mere assemblage of men was not enough—the government had to prove an actual overt act of levying war, with two witnesses. It couldn't, and Burr was acquitted.The significance of September 1, 1807 is layered. It was a dramatic clash between the branches: President Thomas Jefferson desperately wanted Burr convicted and worked behind the scenes to make it happen, while Marshall's court insisted on rigorous proof and refused to bend to political pressure—even subpoenaing the president himself for documents. It cemented the idea that “treason” cannot be a catch-all for disloyalty, and that an independent judiciary must hold the line on proof even when a president demands a scalp. On a day featuring both a murder verdict and several tests of executive power, Burr's acquittal is a fitting reminder that the highest function of a court is sometimes to say no.A jury in Las Vegas has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first-degree murder for orchestrating the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur—closing, at last, one of the most notorious cold cases in American music history nearly thirty years after the fact. We've tracked this trial from jury selection through the defense's remarkable “don't believe my client” strategy, and now it's over: after a weeks-long trial, the jury deliberated for under three hours before convicting. Prosecutors never claimed Davis pulled the trigger. Their theory, as the deputy district attorney put it in closing, was that “this was a case about gang retaliation and revenge”—that Davis provided the gun and ordered the attack, making him criminally responsible for the murder even though someone else fired the shots. And the evidence that convicted him was, essentially, Davis himself: the interviews, the podcasts, and the 2019 memoir in which he described his role in the killing. His own lawyer's defense was to beg the jury not to credit those statements—to treat them as the lies of a braggart embellishing for money and street credibility. The jury didn't buy it. The significance is a striking answer to the evidentiary question I flagged when this trial opened: yes, a man's public boasts about a crime can be enough to convict him of it. Davis talked his way from “long-suspected” to “convicted murderer.” It's a cautionary tale as old as the law itself—that the words you say to burnish your legend can become the words that put you in prison—and it brought a measure of accountability to a killing that went unpunished for three decades. Jury convicts Duane “Keffe D” Davis in Tupac killing trial | ReutersNBC Los Angeles · CNNThe legal war over mail-in voting grinds on: the Trump administration has asked the First Circuit Court of Appeals to lift the order still blocking parts of the president's executive order overhauling how ballots are delivered. Recall the state of play. Last week, the Supreme Court, on its emergency docket, lifted one of two injunctions—letting some pieces of the order take effect—but pointedly did not rule on whether any of it is actually lawful, and the Postal Service's role remained blocked nationwide. Now the administration is going back to the appeals court to try to clear that remaining block. Its arguments are largely practical: it says the lower court's injunction was premature, issued before the Postal Service and other agencies had even finalized their plans, and that the injunction created an impossible situation—a “bifurcated” system where the order is blocked in the 23 states that sued but allowed everywhere else, which the government says is logistically unworkable. Meanwhile, there's a new wrinkle: a whistleblower has reportedly claimed the Postal Service's plan to implement the order could actually “derail” the midterms. The significance is that this is heading, almost inevitably, back to the Supreme Court—which still has not addressed the fundamental question of whether the president can restructure how Americans vote by mail. We are now roughly two months from the election, and the machinery of how ballots get delivered is being litigated in real time, court by court, on emergency timelines. The uncertainty itself is a problem: election administrators and voters need to know the rules, and right now the rules are moving. Trump administration asks US appeals court to lift order blocking mail-in voting | ReutersThe Hill · NPRAnd finally, a divided Supreme Court has cleared the way—for now—for construction of President Trump's new White House ballroom to continue. In a 5-4 emergency ruling, the Court granted the administration's request and blocked lower-court orders that would have paused the aboveground portion of the project. Some background: in 2025, the administration had the White House's East Wing demolished—without notifying Congress—to make room for a planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom projected to cost $400 million or more, including an extensive underground component the administration says houses secure facilities. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued, arguing the president had no authority to demolish part of the White House and build this on his own. The legal hook the Court used is a familiar one: standing. The majority said the Trust likely doesn't have standing—the legal right to bring the suit in the first place—which is often how courts dispose of cases without confronting the underlying merits. And that's the key caveat: the unsigned order does not decide whether Trump actually has the authority to build a massive ballroom without congressional approval. That question stays open as the litigation continues. The significance is twofold. Substantively, a president reshaping the White House itself, demolishing a historic wing without telling Congress, raises real questions about the limits of executive authority over federal property. Procedurally, this is once again the emergency docket letting the executive proceed on a threshold technicality—standing—while leaving the hard constitutional question for another day, if it's ever answered at all. By the time the merits are sorted out, the ballroom may simply be built.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, what is in the president's mail-in voting executive order? It ensures voter integrity and the requirements are common sense, yet Democrats and their media lie about it as an effort to stop women and people of color from voting and call it a grave threat. The Democrats and their slip-and-fall lawyers always seem to be on the side of the cheaters but claim they are just looking out for the rest of us. This executive order is perfectly legitimate. Also, a leaked CBC memo instructed reporters ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 not to refer to the attacks as terrorist attacks, instead describing hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Manhattan that destroyed the World Trade Center. If 9/11 is not terrorism then terrorism does not exist. The left and Islamists in media allow this insanity to spread like poison. Later, people aren't reading books, especially young people, so they lack independent information and don't understand the history of socialism; they aren't taught it and are instead taught that socialism is fantastic. Many do not know what happened in the Holocaust or the Civil War's massive battles to preserve the Union and end slavery, nor why the Electoral College or the Senate exist. As a result they listen to Rasputin-type figures and radical anti-American faculty with tenure become the only source they have, leaving them without enough knowledge to push back. Afterward, the Democrats did everything they could to stop Ronald Reagan from pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative, which led to Patriot missiles, among other life-saving technologies. The media regurgitated the Democrats' talking points, and mocked Reagan and "Star Wars." The Democrats, the media, and the Woke Reich isolations opposed significant increases in our defense budget, which has been shrinking as a percentage of GDP for some time. Meanwhile, Barack Obama and Biden changed names on forts, ships, mountains. They changed nouns and pronouns. But Trump changes names to promote America and these same people lose what's left of their minds. Finally, Jon Husted calls in to discuss his Senate run against Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Brown tries to portray himself as a moderate but he's a liberal. Husted says the Democratic Socialists are taking over the Democratic party. They want to make us less free and take more control over your money and your future. Husted supports President Trump's polices on the border, trans athletes in women's sports and so one.

In this episode, Dr. Goodwin breaks down what the latest Supreme Court ruling on voting rights actually says and what it doesn't, and of course, it means everyone's hair is on fire. Given that this Supreme Court has tried in every way possible to make it more difficult for people to vote, dismantling the Voting Rights Act, an act that had been supported over the years by both Republicans and also Democrats, what hot mess is next? The 1965 Voting Rights Act was one that had been embraced over the years strongly by Republicans and Democrats. As Dr. Goodwin discusses, it has been this Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, which has unraveled it, pulled the thread where it would knowingly make all of the fabric fall apart into what has been a disintegration of one of the most essential pieses of legislation in American history, which protected all Americans. As she reminds, let us not forget that the very first suffragists in the United States were white men who had been dispossessed from the right to vote because they were not wealthy. Sit back and take a listen.Support the show

The Supreme Court's decision today to lift a lower-court block on Donald Trump's mail-in voting executive order is a full-blown alarm bell for the future of American democracy. With the midterm elections less than 100 days away, the high court's conservative majority has effectively handed the executive branch a green light to mess with the mechanics of how tens of millions of citizens cast their ballots. For Democrats, voting rights advocates, and anyone keeping a close eye on the rule of law, this 6-3 ruling along ideological lines is a massive setback that threatens to throw the upcoming midterms into total chaos right as military and overseas mail ballots prepare to go out.

Political strategist and pollster Chris Wilson joins Lisa Boothe to break down the state of the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party's turnout problem, the Democratic Party's move to the left and why traditional political polling is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over Technologies, explains why Republicans are facing a challenging but highly competitive midterm environment. While history favors Democrats and Republican voter intensity remains a concern, the GOP could benefit from the Senate map, redistricting and Democratic candidates who may be too far left for their states. So what should Republicans actually campaign on? Wilson argues that the winning message comes down to four words: affordability, security, trust and confidence. He explains why candidates should focus on the cost of groceries and everyday life, public safety, competent government and delivering tangible results for voters rather than relying on generic attacks about socialism. Lisa and Chris also examine critical Senate races in Michigan, Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere, along with the challenge of getting lower-propensity Trump voters back to the polls when Donald Trump himself isn't on the ballot. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions in modern politics: Can we still trust the polls? Wilson explains how declining response rates, inaccurate turnout models, early voting and rapidly changing public opinion are making traditional polling increasingly complicated. Finally, Wilson explains how artificial intelligence, online conversation analysis and real-time narrative tracking could transform political campaigns by showing not just where voters stand today, but where public opinion is moving heading into Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
