On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz take a deep dive into the nightmare that is the case against Edward Wright, a man who was wrongly accused of killing his friend, Penny Anderson, in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1984. Edward was seen with Penny the night before her murder, and factors such as withheld evidence, false testimony, and racial bias led to his conviction of first-degree murder, ending with a life sentence. After 40 years and six motions for a new trial, Edward was able to work with the New England Innocence Project to get his wrongful conviction overturned.

One in four Americans is enrolled in Medicaid, yet the system designed to support them is constantly at risk—underfunded, politically vulnerable, and often overlooked.Dr. Alastair Bell, President and CEO of Boston Medical Center Health System, shares how his organization is reimagining what it means to care for underserved populations, while managing nearly 40% of Massachusetts' Medicaid enrollees. In this conversation, we explore the financial realities of running an “essential” hospital system, the opportunities and pitfalls of Medicaid ACOs, and why AI might deepen inequity if essential providers are left behind.We cover:
EELP's Founding Director and Harvard Law Professor, Jody Freeman, speaks with Harvard Law Professor Richard Lazarus and Solomon Hsiang, Professor of Global Environmental Policy at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. They speak about EPA's recent proposal to repeal the agency's 2009 Endangerment Finding, and dig into the legal and scientific arguments offered by EPA. They discuss whether the Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA already answers some of these legal questions and the state of the science on climate change: what we knew in 2009 when EPA first made its Endangerment Finding, and how our understanding has continued to improve.

Marc brings on Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage to cut through the media spin on Texas redistricting. While Democrats cry foul, Hans points out that Republicans are redrawing four districts only because a federal court ruled the original Democrat-pushed maps were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. Marc and Hans torch the hypocrisy, citing states like Massachusetts and Connecticut where Republicans make up 35–40% of voters yet hold zero congressional seats thanks to Democrat gerrymandering. They also pivot to Trump's federal takeover of D.C., clarifying that while his unique authority there doesn't extend to other cities, he can still deploy ICE, FBI, and even the National Guard to crack down on lawlessness elsewhere. The two highlight how staged “anti-ICE” protests—like those inside Home Depot—expose the left's alliance with illegal hiring practices and professional protest machines.
Massachusetts can't be at the top of every great list can it?

STORY OF AMERICA — Present-day New England is a region comprising six states in the Northeastern United States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. English plans to colonize this part of America began to take concrete form at the turn of the 17th century. The first expedition to set out from England was led by Bartholomew Gosnold (1571-1607), an English sea captain who led the first recorded European expedition to Cape Cod, Provincetown, Cuttyhunk Island, and Martha's Vineyard.

639. Part 2 of our interview with Lori Peek about her book, The Continuing Storm, which she wrote with Kai Erikson. More than fifteen years later, Hurricane Katrina maintains a strong grip on the American imagination. The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves. The Continuing Storm reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America.Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters in the years since Katrina—including COVID-19— The Continuing Storm is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.

"The Hurricane" by William Cullen Bryant (November 3, 1794 – June 12, 1878) was an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. Born in Massachusetts, in 1825, Bryant relocated to New York City, where he became an editor of two major newspapers. He also emerged as one of the most significant poets in early literary America and has been grouped among the fireside poets for his accessible and popular poetry. "Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh, I know thy breath in the burning sky! And I wait, with a thrill in every vein, For the coming of the hurricane! And lo! on the wing of the heavy gales, Through the boundless arch of heaven he sails; Silent and slow, and terribly strong, The mighty shadow is borne along, Like the dark eternity to come;" This week in Louisiana history.

Episode Highlights How Elbridge Gerry rose from a wealthy merchant's son in Massachusetts to a key figure in the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Why Gerry refused to sign the Constitution, and how his principled stance helped pave the way for the Bill of Rights.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Danielle Laurenti, a Massachusetts corrections officer with over fifteen years of experience, including service as a sergeant in both female and maximum-security male facilities. Danielle began her career as a young single mother, driven by her passion for law enforcement and desire to support her family. Over the years, she has become an advocate for women’s rights within the corrections system, particularly in response to recent Massachusetts laws requiring female officers to conduct strip searches on transgender inmates. Danielle shares her personal story as both a public servant and a sexual assault survivor, bringing a critical perspective to evolving workplace safety issues. Jennifer and Danielle delve into the controversial changes brought about by the 2018 Massachusetts crime bill, which mandates that strip searches in correctional facilities be conducted based on inmates’ gender identity rather than biological sex. Danielle details the psychological and ethical challenges faced by female corrections officers asked to perform invasive searches on biologically male inmates, citing both personal trauma and the broader issue of consent. The discussion uncovers the lack of training, union consultation, or opportunity for officers to opt out, raising concerns about workplace harassment, women’s rights, and public safety. They explore federal and state discrepancies, compare procedures in other settings like TSA, and emphasize the ongoing fight for equal rights and consent within the corrections profession. This episode confronts the intersection of gender identity, legal mandates, and women’s workplace autonomy, while advocating for systemic change and greater awareness. “The law is exposing women to sexual situations with men they don’t know, men they are not consenting to. They’re being forced; they’re being threatened. And you’re creating new victims and you’re revictimizing previous victims.”~Danielle Laurenti This week on Political Contessa: How Danielle Laurenti began her career as a corrections officer in Massachusetts The impact of the 2018 Massachusetts crime bill on corrections officers’ roles Federal vs. state law in handling strip searches of transgender inmates Danielle’s experience as a sexual assault survivor in the workplace The lack of training and union involvement prior to policy changes The ethical and psychological impact on female officers carrying out invasive searches Comparisons to consent protocols in other public settings, such as the TSA The call for equal rights and consent for corrections officers Resources: Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) Article on Danielle’s story Massachusetts Department of Correction Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics. They cite polling data showing low favorability for the Democratic Party. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

For this week's episode we pull from the vault of The Southern Tea podcast...Lindsie is ready to be a sushi chef and Kristen says she might have worms in her brain. Lindsie orders a new washer to fulfill the need of washing everything all the time, which is kind of goals but also concerning. The conversation about Jackson's graduation party leads to coparenting talk and Lindsie still stands by her stance that she'll always make sure her and Will are on the same page for Jackson's sake. A viral story about people going missing in Atlanta after going to an Indeed job posting might be a hoax, but a report about nurses developing brain tumors at a hospital in Massachusetts is very much concerning. They also discuss a father who was found not guilty of manslaughter after accidentally running over his son with a tractor. Lastly, Lindsie and Kristen share their thoughts on the importance of self-care and the struggle to prioritize rest over "hustling"Thank you to our sponsors!Cash App: Download Cash App Today - https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/e2o0vzbq #CashAppPodAs a Cash App partner, I may earn a commission when you sign up for a Cash App account.

The Northeast is the most densely populated part of our country, and is rich in opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking and camping, due to an extensive network of public lands and the massively successful wildlife restorations and legislation to clean up rivers and reclaim the industrial and mining mishaps of the past. None of our outdoor pursuits exist here by accident or by luck. The hunting and fishing, the habitat, the access that they depend upon, is the result of work inspired by a passion for making sure that something wonderful can go on and on, in the face of ever increasing challenges.

Texas house democrats cave to Governor Greg Abbott and will return to work after fleeing a redistricting vote that benefits the GOP. Why hey say they fled to California, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, and how it's increasingly clear to all Americans that the left will stop at nothing to stop President Trump and the MAGA agenda. Democrat polling hits a new low as we peel back the curtain on Adam Schiff's alleged Russia collusion hoax peddling. Why the California senator's leaking of classified intelligence to the media will likely be considered a premeditated criminal act.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Justice Department is launching a federal grand jury investigation into former Obama administration officials accused of their role in 2016's Russia-gate. This legal move could lead to criminal charges against key Cabinet members from the Obama era, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey. President Barack Obama needs to be questioned for his role. Barack Obama is the central figure in uncovering the full scope of the Russia Collusion scandal and the attempt to undermine the Trump campaign and presidency. The Supreme Court does not grant him blanket immunity. It offers a presumption of immunity, which could be challenged based on what the investigation reveals. Regardless, there is no immunity from criminal investigation or from being compelled to testify under oath—period. Israel is being attacked and accused of a deep Zionistic rhetoric that Israel has special interests regarding the spread of Zionism. Isreal is defending itself and protecting the freedoms of Jews, Christians and non-radical Muslims who oppose the Radical-Islamic regimes. Sen Elizabeth Warren met with Zohran Mamdani to endorse his socialist and Marxist agenda. Warren asserts that affordability is the primary crisis facing our nation, but this is merely a facade to disguise their true intentions. She also claims that this aligns with the Democratic message and their core values. Fidel Castro spoke of free healthcare, free food, and housing, yet he stifled his people's progress, leading to the current disastrous state of Cuba. The handouts they are advocating will ultimately cause more harm than good, jeopardizing everything you have worked tirelessly for, merely to provide for illegal immigrants, while also undermining essential institutions like our Police Departments, ICE, and more. Democrats have been more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republicans. There's not a single Republican representative from Massachusetts. There's only one Republican representative from Maryland. In 2020, the Census made "mathematic" errors resulting in upwards of 5 congressional seats assigned to blue states, which should have been held by red states. President Trump as an iconic, history-making president who thinks outside the box, achieving success as both a businessman and leader. Trump leverages America's economic power to rebuild industries, repatriate businesses, access closed economies, and compete with Communist China, while applying it to foreign policy—mirroring Ronald Reagan's approach that led to the Soviet Union's collapse. Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson warns of a "point of no return" for city finances amid a $1.1 billion 2026 deficit, pushing for tax hikes like a millionaire tax, corporate head tax and wants progressive revenue options. In On Power, it explains that the progressive movement aims to fundamentally transform America and Western democracies by centralizing government power, diminishing individual freedoms, and reengineering society through soft negative power. Johnson's progressive tax hikes reflects a drive to expand centralized governmental authority, which will erode economic freedoms and individual autonomy in pursuit of societal reengineering. This is what NYC can look forward to if Zohran Mamdani gets elected. Mandami repeatedly trashes America, failed to assimilate, and acting as a revolutionary against the country since his teenage arrival. His Marxist, Islamist, and Jew-hating ideologies echo terrorist lines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
