Podcasts about Markey

Massachusetts calls itself the "old colony." But on today's primary election ballot, younger Democrats are hoping for a generational revolt. Senator Ed Markey, 80 years old with 50 years in Congress under his belt, is trying to fend off a primary challenge from 47-year-old Congressman Seth Moulton. Yes, Markey has been in Congress longer than Moulton has been alive. Two of the state's other 70-somethings are also facing much-younger challengers today.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on the U.S. military's phenomenal job of de-mining the Strait of Hormuz, Bernie Sanders' strange reason for endorsing another Democrat senator, Alaska's election system getting even dumber, and ICE arresting and deporting Milo Yiannopoulos.First, they marvel at the excellence of the U.S. military as U.S. Central Command announces our forces have successfully removed all mines from the Strait of Hormuz. Jim also explains what happened as U.S.-Iranian hostilities flared up again last night.Next, they can only laugh as Sen. Bernie Sanders endorses Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey for re-election in his Democratic primary Tuesday. Why? Sanders says Markey needs to win because the status quo is not working. Markey has been in Congress since 1976.Then, they take aim at Alaska's convoluted election system as the sixth place finisher in the governor's primary could be among the four candidates on the November ballot.Finally, they cheer ICE for arresting and deporting Milo Yiannapoulos.Please visit our great sponsors:Icognihttps://incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. can 'grow' its way out of a $40 trillion national debt, a number that was reached this week; Secretary Bessent also says he will hold a news conference Monday to outline new sanctions against Iran. He calls them the 'toughest sanctions in history' that will 'collapse this regime.' That follows President Donald Trump's post declaring Economic D-Day against Iran for failing to take the many chances he has given them to make a deal to give up any pursuit of a nuclear weapon; A woman has been charged with providing support to the terror group ISIS after allegedly asking for help to make explosives to attack the New York State Capitol building in Albany; Final Massachusetts U.S. Senate Democratic primary debate tonight between Sen. Ed Markey and challenger Congressman Seth Moulton. We will talk about the race with Boston Globe politics reporter Samantha Gross (28); Democratic Party narrows its list of cities vying to host the 2028 DNC Convention to Boston, Denver and Philadelphia; First Lady Melania Trump announces a $2 million donation from Penske's IndyCar and Fox Corp. to her initiative to help children and youth transition successfully out of the foster care system, ahead of this weekend's Freedom 250 IndyCar street race in Washington, DC.

The DSA platform wants to abolish the military, the Supreme Court, and the presidency — and almost no one has actually read it. Washington Monthly politics editor Bill Scher joins Matt Robison to break down the document tearing the Democratic Party in half, and why the polls that keep telling us who's winning have been wrong about nearly everything.Bill published a column this morning on the new CBS News/YouGov poll, and its finding is the thread running through this whole conversation: liberals and moderates agree on far more than anyone admits. Majorities will raise their own taxes for healthcare, education, food assistance, even housing. They agree the wealthy don't pay their fair share. And then you say the word "socialism" and the coalition falls apart. The fight consuming the Democratic Party right now may be a fight over branding that both sides have an incentive to keep going.Then we get into polling — Graham Platner, Janet Mills, Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan, Maine, Hawaii, Wisconsin — and Bill's argument that the real story isn't bad methodology. It's that campaign internal polls are flooding a vacuum left by independent pollsters who can't afford to be there, and those numbers are driving out real candidates before a single vote is cast.⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 The seething summer: what's building under the surface 2:00 Bill Scher joins 2:20 The CBS/YouGov poll everyone misread 5:00 Why "socialism" is still a losing word — even when the policies win 6:30 Three swim lanes, not two: DSA, progressives, moderates 7:45 Why Democrats are boiling mad at their own establishment 9:20 The DSA platform lands — and the backlash begins 10:30 Megan Romer's Fox News interview: "a 30-second ad all by itself" 11:45 "Abolish the military": reading the platform out loud 13:45 Abolishing the Supreme Court, and the case for fixing Congress instead 18:00 The Israel litmus test 18:50 An open appeal to AOC: break up with the DSA 21:20 Does AOC need the DSA, or does the DSA need AOC? 23:00 Five more DSA members of Congress are coming 25:40 Mamdani's real test — and why he isn't governing like the platform 30:30 "Democratic elites": the anti-establishment rage, and whether it's earned 35:40 Did Democrats forget 2018? 38:40 The Biden story nobody wants to own 40:20 Where progressives and moderates actually agree — about 90% of it 42:20 Is polling over?

 Welcome to our new rendition of the Best of BPR Podcast! In this new version, we will be publishing the week's top segments. In case you're missing us over the weekend... now you have something to listen to!On today's Show:  Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton, joins us as he challenges Senator Ed Markey in the Democratic Primary (we heard from Markey this week)We check in on the Lowell Data Center battle – with MassINC's Mary Wambui, one of ten Lowell residents joining in a lawsuit against the state regarding the center's planned expansion, and Jake Fortes, founder of the grassroots advocacy group Honest Future for Lowell.We speak with Natick journalist David Steiner, as he and his wife settle with eBay. 

Four institutions told this administration no. Four times, the answer was to find another door. This week on Purple Political Breakdown: the Senate confirmed Todd Blanche, Trump's former criminal defense attorney, as Attorney General by a vote of 50 to 49 at 4:31 in the morning on a Saturday. Bill Cassidy stood on the Senate floor, said the nominee had exempted the President from IRS audits and was running a department that sues the President's political enemies, and then voted yes anyway. We follow the money to Greenland, where a Texas oil company tied to Trump's circle landed drilling equipment the Greenlandic government never authorized, and got a public rebuke for it two days before Trump posted an AI image of himself looming over a Greenlandic village. Plus the DC Circuit blocking the White House ballroom 2 to 1, with the court reminding the President that he is a temporary tenant, not the owner. Then the story nobody covered correctly: roughly $100 billion in tariff refunds went back out the door after the Supreme Court struck the Liberation Day tariffs. Apple got $2.2 billion. Ford got $1.3 billion. Amazon got $600 million. You got nothing, because only the importer of record can file a claim, and the German Kiel Institute found that American importers and their customers ate 96 percent of the cost. The $2,000 rebate checks never happened. We break down the two birthright citizenship executive orders Trump signed on August 6, six weeks after losing at the Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara, including the part almost no outlet caught: the citizenship order will be litigated for a year, but the visa order is already running through consulates where there is almost no judicial review. In Research on a Dime, David Crowley beat Francesca Hong by four tenths of a point in Wisconsin, and we get into what that actually says about DSA momentum in the Democratic Party, including Hong separating herself from the national platform on camera. Plus Peggy Flanagan, Andy Ogles losing a Trump endorsed primary, Iowa, and Markey against Moulton. And the main event: a real breakdown of what AIPAC is. Not the vibes version. The four separate entities, the difference between AIPAC PAC and the United Democracy Project super PAC, and the answer to the question nobody gets right. Haley Stevens could not have refused that $30 million even if she wanted to. Neither could Abdul El Sayed refuse his $2.3 million. We walk through the three legal buckets, why AIPAC is not a foreign entity under FARA, what the actual history of that argument is, and why the honest fix here is campaign finance reform rather than a FARA designation that is not going to happen without evidence. Good news to close: gene edited hypoallergenic beagles, real progress on HIV and AIDS, motor improvements in boys with muscular dystrophy, the first mRNA flu vaccine approved, Google's AI buying hurricane forecasters an extra day, a much larger ancient Amazon civilization than anyone expected, and NASA engineers fighting for ten watts on a 49 year old spacecraft 13 billion miles away.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider the significant fallout if Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan U.S. Senate primary today, growing concerns that the number of U.S. missile interceptors are dwindling, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton caving on trans issues to keep his Senate hopes alive, and James Carville's criticism of far-left streamer Hasan Piker.First, Jim and Greg examine today's Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary, where DSA-backed Abdul El-Sayed is now expected to defeat Rep. Haley Stevens. They explain why an El-Sayed victory could improve Republican Mike Rogers' chances in November, while also exploring the major political consequences if El-Sayed ultimately wins the Senate seat.Next, they discuss a new study warning that the U.S. supply of missile interceptors is shrinking and could take years to replenish. With Iran constantly shifting from diplomacy to missile strikes and back, how long can the U.S. stay on its current course?Then, they slam Rep. Moulton for his groveling on trans issues. After the Republican wins in 2024, Moulton said he did not want his daughters getting run over by male or formerly male athletes. In last night's U.S. Senate debate, he apologized and promised always to be a staunch defender of trans activists. Jim says the Democrats have learned nothing.Finally, they react to longtime Democratic strategist James Carville saying he cannot stay in the same party as Hasan Piker. While Piker is worse than Carville, Jim explains that Carville's threat isn't all that significant.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton says he believes the federal government will come through for Haverhill to fix infrastructure and, with his help, continue to make good on health and education.Moulton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to run for Senate against incumbent. Edward J. Markey, expressed his confidence and answered questions during a live interview Friday on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program. Following Haverhill's force main sewer failure, Moulton and 5th District Congresswoman Lori Trahan, proposed raising the ceiling on federal money to upgrade Haverhill's wastewater infrastructure from $40 million to $50 million. Moulton said he is confident the federal government would come to the rescue.“Haverhill residents can't take care of this on your own. You need help. This is exactly what you should expect the federal government to do,” Moulton said, adding this situation is proof Congress “can get things down” even in a “divided environment.”Moulton, 47, is pitching himself as the young progressive choice against Markey, who is 80.On a question about what he would do as a senator to ensure Haverhill gets its fair share of federal help for healthcare, schools and other social programs, Moulton touted his success in bringing $2 billion in federal funding to the city of Lynn.“Well, you know I've already delivered $2 billion to the City of Lynn. Imagine what $2 billion would do for Haverhill. That's the kind of hard work that I've been putting in in Washington for 10 years. So, I know how the system works,” Moulton argued.Moulton added, in his opinion more money must be earmarked for vocational education because the jobs are waiting and students are clamoring for seats in vocational programs.“A lot of kids, for example, want to go to vocational school right now because they know that being an electrician or plumber is not a job that will get automated out of existence by AI. But we're not giving enough opportunities for kids to get a vocational education,” he observed.Asked whether terminology he used in 2024 to describe transgender individuals was insensitive when he said he doesn't want his daughters “getting run over by on the playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,” Moulton said the quotation was taken out of context.“I have a 100% voting record on this issue. And I recognize that a lot of transgender people are getting attacked right now by this administration. But in fairness you cut off half my quote. What I said is that as a Democrat we're not even allowed to discuss these issues and that's wrong,” Moulton fired back.Moulton said he thinks it is healthier for the party to raise contentious issues and not be afraid to debate them, that in those discussions, support emerges.“We ought to lead that discussion as Democrats. We should not cede that territory to the Republicans which is what we have been doing for far too long,” Moulton argued.Moulton was first elected to the House of Representatives from the 6th Congressional District in 2015 and is in his sixth term. Markey was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1976 following a stint in the state Legislature. He was elected as one of Massachusetts's two senators in 2013. He is in his third term.Moulton faces Markey in the Tuesday, Sept. 1, state primary. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mail in ballots may be requested by calling the Haverhill city clerk's office at 978-374-2312. The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot is Tuesday, Aug. 25.  In-person early voting at Haverhill City Hall begins Saturday, Aug. 22, and runs through Friday, Aug. 28. The full schedule is available on the city website at HaverhillMA.gov.WHAV is reaching out to all candidates to outline their positions in advance of their respective, contested elections.Support the show

David Markey is a resilient and resourceful filmmaker who has sustained a truly independent career in the shadow of Hollywood and against the backdrop of corporate America for over four decades. As a self-taught filmmaker and musician, Markey brings together underground music, experimental cinema and contemporary culture in a direct and insightful way. His unique take on pop culture and sometimes dark wit are also present throughout his work, the majority of which has been self-funded and distributed.His films include the acclaimed documentary "1991: The Year Punk Broke" (1992) and the Los Angeles Punk Super-8 cult classics "The Slog Movie" (1982), "Desperate Teenage Lovedolls" (1984), and the sequel "Lovedolls Superstar" (1986) which were all produced before he was of legal age. His international Film Festival favorite "The Reinactors" (2008) had him traveling the world exhibiting his film, inclusion in film festivals in Argentina, England, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, and China. 2012 saw the release of his feature length documentary on Los Angeles' long running punk band, Circle Jerks entitled "My Career As A Jerk" and his first published book "We Got Power: (Hardcore Punk Scenes From 1980's Southern California)."Markey's body of work is also historically significant, representing a unique record of the punk scene in Southern California. Markey has worked with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Redd Kross, The Ramones, Black Flag, Meat Puppets and artist Raymond Pettibon to name a few. Markey's indefatigable DIY aesthetic continues to drive him, as well as inspire a whole new generation of filmmakers, musicians and artists. His latest documentary is "The Secret Lives Of Bill Bartell" (2025), which tells the tale of a shadowy figure from the punk world, who would go on to have a lasting influence on pop culture of the 20th and 21st Century.

Howie discusses the rant off between Markey and Molton.

To hear the candidates tell it, the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Massachusetts is a battle of ideas. During a debate Wednesday hosted by Springfield's WWLP, incumbent Sen. Ed Markey and challenger Rep. Seth Moulton tried to position themselves as the person bringing new perspectives and energy to Congress.

We're watching the text line as listeners try to guess who will say "trump" more, Markey or Moulton.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey joins WBUR's Morning Edition.

The Trump Administration's National Park Service plans to remove three quotes from the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. The quotes being removed include comments on slavery, war, and immigrants. The removal of the three quotes comes just ahead of the 251st anniversary of the monument on June 17th. Is the removal at all warranted or a clear depiction of censorship of American history? Sen. Ed Markey is outraged about the removal saying, "real Americans’ patriotism doesn’t need censorship to survive, American patriotism is backed by our freedom to speak and be heard.” Do you agree? Dan tends to agree with Sen. Markey and discussed it further.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph welcomes, Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen, to discuss his Senate testimony about the many ways the Trump Administration's assault on fraud is itself fraudulent. Plus, Ralph informs us of a report from Aljazeera about the MK-84 weapon the IDF is using in Gaza that is designed to generate so much heat it literally vaporizes people.Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the president of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Every American should be worried about fraud. So it's fine for the committee to be talking about fraud, but it should be based on actual facts and what's actually happening, which is not what's going on with this focus on Minnesota… And without a doubt, if the concern is about fraud in the public or the private economy right now, the number one problem with fraud is the Trump administration.Robert WeissmanThanks to the Supreme Court decision on Presidential immunity, Trump believes (correctly) that he will not be held criminally accountable for anything that he does while he's President. And that is true so long as that Supreme Court decision stands. And I think it's fair to say that basically everyone who's working for him right now—who I think are committing all kinds of crimes, including through the sale of pardons and through the outrageous use of ICE in Minnesota and around the country—I think they expect they're going to get pardoned before he goes. So I think they think they too will be (and they're probably not wrong in expecting it) that they too will be immune from criminal prosecution (at least federal criminal prosecution) for any crimes they commit while they're in the administration.Robert WeissmanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/13/26* Our top stories this week concern the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to POLITICO, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who, along with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has led the charge to release the Epstein files, “took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six ‘wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted,” in the files. These names include billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner, Emirati shipping magnate Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Italian politician Nicola Caputo, among other more mysterious figures like Salvatore Nuara and Leonic Leonov. Khanna used congressional representatives' unique power under the speech and debate clause to make these names public, after combing through the files personally along with Rep. Massie. Khanna added “if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”* Speaking of hiding names in the files, Axios reports that Representative Jamie Raskin stated that “when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files… it came up ‘more than a million times.'” The implication of this statement is clear: Trump's cronies in the Justice Department are covering up the extent of Trump's relationship and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Another member of the administration, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, admitted under Senate questioning that he had lunch with Epstein on his island, along with his family, claiming he “could not recall” why they did. The administration is allowing members of Congress to view the unredacted files within certain hours via a database they describe as confusing, unreliable, and clunky.* Another surprising revelation from the files is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently solicited campaign donations from Epstein back in 2013. According to MSN, Epstein received a campaign solicitation via email from a fundraising firm touting Jeffries as “one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” and offering Epstein “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denies having any knowledge of this firm's outreach to Epstein and decried House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's implication that he had any relationship with the late sexual predator and financier, calling Comer a “stone cold liar” and a “malignant clown.”* In non-Epstein related news from Capitol Hill, last week lawmakers held a hearing to probe the operations of autonomous taxi service Waymo. While Republicans chose to focus on Waymo's supposed ties to Chinese companies, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled the chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, on the company's reliance on workers abroad for key safety decisions. Peña admitted that while some operators are located in the US, others – who step in when robotaxis encounter “unusual situations” – work remotely from the Philippines. Markey called this “completely unacceptable,” emphasizing that these workers may need to react “in a split second” during dangerous scenarios. Waymo is just the latest company marketing its services as high tech and autonomous, but later revealed to be reliant on cheap foreign labor. This from Business Insider.* ICE lawlessness continues to roil Congress. Many Democrats are now sounding the alarm that Trump's immigration police – masked, armed, accountable directly to him and backed to the hilt by the administration – could be used as a tool to suppress voter turnout by conducting raids at or near polling locations, thereby scaring citizens into staying home. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said “Trump is trying to create a pretext to rig the election.” Murphy, along with some Senate Democratic allies, pushed leadership to demand that ICE be banned from polling sites as a condition of government shutdown negotiations, but leadership balked, per POLITICO. While such a scenario can sound far-fetched, Trump has “falsely and repeatedly claimed for more than a decade that millions of illegal immigrants vote in the U.S., arguing that was one factor in his 2020 loss,” and, just before the 2020 election, he pledged to send “sheriffs” and “law enforcement” to polling places.* Drop Site News' Jacqueline Sweet reports 70 organizations, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Unitarian, as well as civil rights, academic, legal, peace, and human rights groups, submitted a formal request to the National Security Division of the Justice Department seeking a “Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation into Canary Mission.” Canary Mission is a shadowy, infamous group that tracks pro-Palestine activity on college campuses. In 2018, they appeared at the George Washington University wearing spooky masks in an attempt to intimidate the student government into voting down a BDS resolution. They failed. This latest letter comes on the heels of a Drop Site story from January that “showed among other things that Canary is operated in Israel by a large Israeli team.” As the letter notes, the Foreign Agent Registration Act “exists precisely to address this type of potential activity carried out in the United States for the benefit of a foreign country.”* In more news regarding pro-Palestine activism, last week, six defendants linked to Palestine Action, a direct action protest group in the United Kingdom, were acquitted of aggravated burglary in connection with an alleged break in at Elbit Systems, a defense firm with close ties to the Israeli military, in August 2024. The persecution of Palestine Action has gone far beyond normal law enforcement. Some activists have been in pre-trial detention for over 500 days, more than double the maximum limit set by the Crown Prosecution Service. The case of the Palestine Action protestors has drawn outcry from international human rights groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch. As HRW notes, in July of last year, the British government declared Palestine Action a terrorist organization and have now detained over 2,700 protestors over infractions as minor as holding a sign reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” As of now, over 20 activists are still in detention awaiting trial, many beyond the legal limits, and the six acquitted activists may face retrial. But for now, the group has scored a major victory in the face of overwhelming odds.* Turning back to domestic news, New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have pulled off a fait accompli in her reelection campaign. Last year, former Representative Elise Stefanik dropped her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and sitting Rep. Mike Lawler declined to run. Now, Hochul's main primary opponent – Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado – has dropped his bid after Hochul secured the endorsements of New York City Mayor and political superstar Zohran Mamdani as well as the entirety of the New York Democratic congressional delegation. This from the New York Times. This is a stunning political feat for a Governor who won the narrowest gubernatorial election in the state since 1994 when she was last up in 2022. It now seems that Hochul will square off against Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-endorsed Republican executive of Nassau County in November.* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the dynamic of the Mayoral race was upended this week by the last-minute decision of Councilmember Nithya Raman to throw her hat into the ring against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Raman, an urban planner by trade, chairs the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and has “built her political identity around tenant protections, homelessness policy and efforts to accelerate housing production,” per the Los Angeles Daily News. Raman was the first of several Councilmembers elected with DSA support and she has maintained a strong relationship with the local branch despite tensions with the national organization, primarily over Israel/Palestine issues. Bass, who won a narrow election against billionaire developer Rick Caruso in 2022, has faced harsh criticism over her handling of the devastating fires in 2025 and her inability to make significant progress on the city's homelessness crisis. However, Bass maintains the support of much of the city's Democratic establishment, including the unions and much of the City Council and Raman's late entry will make it difficult for her to consolidate majority support across the sprawling western metropolis.* Finally, in a David-and-Goliath tale, we turn to TJ Sabula, the UAW Local 600 Ford factory line worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector.” Infamously, the president retorted by giving Sabula the finger and mouthing, “F--- you.” Ironically, Trump also trotted out his iconic catchphrase “You're fired.” Well, Sabula was not fired – and in fact “has no discipline on his record,” – because he was protected by his union, per the Detroit News.

We don't just protect rights, we exercise them.” UAW President Shawn Fain, who has emerged as a firebrand leader of the revitalized labor movement, commented “That's a union brother who spoke up…He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Part 2 of 2. OA 1230 - Seeing all the obstacles to holding government officials accountable, Congress created Section 1983, allowing citizens to sue for money damages for violations of their civil rights. We cover how that works, the one weird trick it uses to get around state sovereign immunity, and how that accidentally created the infamous qualified immunity doctrine that has made police seemingly unaccountable. We also discuss proposed reforms that might fix issues of qualified and sovereign immunity. 42 U.S.C § 1983 Pierson v Ray, 386 U.S. 547 (1967) Graham v Conner, 490 U.S. 386 (1989) Pearson v Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 (2009) Kisela v Hughes, 584 U.S. 100 (2018) Barnes v Felix, 605 U.S. 73 (2025) Barnes v Felix, 138 Harvard L.
