When Democrats can't agree on Democratic priorities, you know something is wrong. It was evident on Monday's installment of ‘The Weekly Show.' Host Jon Stewart questioned Pennsylvania's Democratic Senator John Fetterman about his threats to leave the Democratic Party because he feels there is insufficient support for Israel. To Fetterman's claim that Israel is his "red line," Stewart said "Israel is not our country." Today's guests include: Former federal prosecutor David Katz. We will ask him about Todd Blanche, the dropped reflecting pool cases and the possibility that the UK could open an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and what that might mean here in America. Author and political analyst Jared Yates Sexton. The political conversation continues with Jared Yates Sexton. His take on the issues of the day will leave you thinking long after the show is over. Find Jared at: https://www.jysexton.com Substack - https://jaredyatessexton.substack.com/ “It's the Planet , Stupid!” with eco- journalist Belinda Waymouth. Belinda will share details about continued grant funding at the EPA, damage to the environment from wildfires and a new trend involving ‘do it yourself' solar projects.

Imagine moving every year (or more)! Finding a new dentist, a new doctor, a new playground, the best spot for coffee, a haircut, a new school, a new friend! Now, visualize having all of these tasks and a child with special needs who needs supportive services right away. We sat down with the legal analyst and the director of research from Partners in PROMISE to talk about what the data really says about military-connected special needs families, and why every number in that research represents a family figuring out how to make it work, again and again. Behind every policy gap and every statistic is a parent who's become an expert in something they never signed up for. Come for the research. Stay to witness the incredible lengths these families go to, providing emotional stability and educational continuity for their children.

After taking some time away to help my family through my dad's open-heart surgery, I'm back with a new episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson. Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported my family during this time.Today, I share my opinions on several current events. I discuss why I believe America must remain a sovereign nation and why I have concerns about the growing military relationship between the United States and Israel, including why I believe these actions raise real constitutional and legal questions.I also share my thoughts on the continued loss of American service members in the Iran War and explain why the United States should NOT be involved in another foreign war.Finally, I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it is connected to the Epstein files, and why I think Americans deserve greater transparency and accountability from those in power.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

This might be one of my favorite shows I have been lucky enough to record in the 18+ years of our podcast! Today, I got to speak with Listener Shamus from Florida about his recent trip to Walt Disney World with his family where they stayed at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort! This was what Shamus called a "Right of Passage" trip for the kids, who were 7 & 5 at the time and enjoying most attractions and shows in the four theme parks for the first time! There are so many great stories about these experiences! We also talk about the extreme weather that took place during this trip and how they adapted. However, the "more" in the show title is what makes the show special. Shamus is wrapping up many years of active duty in the Navy and shares a few of his amazing experiences with us, and leaves me (and I hope you) with a very optimistic and hopeful view of humanity today. I sure feel that the world could use more of these feelings out there!

Food insecurity is on the rise among military families. And more than a third of currently serving families said they had less than $500 in savings. Those are some of the findings of the Military Family Advisory Network's biennial survey . Over the years, the survey, which is the largest independent research effort focused on the military family population, has helped shape major policy and quality-of-life reforms. For more on the findings, Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke with Dr. Gabby L'Esperance, Military Family Advisory Network's vice president of research and evaluation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
