August 2, 2026, 8 AM; The race in Michigan is not only a battle for a Senate seat in a swing state, one that very well may determine control of the chamber next year, but it's also emblematic of the fight inside a divided Democratic Party. Democratic voters will decide between Rep. Haley Stevens, the establishment favorite, and progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Tuesday's winner will head to the November election against former Rep. Mike Rogers, the presumptive Republican nominee who is running unopposed. El-Sayed joined The Weekend to discuss his campaign and react to attacks waged against him by his opponent.

Even as Americans are dealing with the fallout of Elon Musk's devastating cuts to the federal government when Donald Trump let him run amok, with new terrible consequences still coming to light on a regular basis, Musk is reportedly planning on trying to use his vast wealth to influence the midterm elections in favor of Republicans. Polls suggest his involvement may do Republicans more harm than good. Alex Isenstadt, senior political reporter for Axios, Norm Eisen, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, and Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha discuss the many advantages Democrats are pursuing in the midterm elections. Stacey Young, an 18-year Justice Department veteran, and Norm Eisen, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, discuss Donald Trump's effort to install his criminal defense attorney as U.S. attorney general. A new report from Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee shows how Donald Trump's deep cuts to counterterrorism agencies and repurposing of law enforcement resources to investigate his political enemies, his personal conspiracy theories and political pet projects has undermined important counterterrorism measures put in place after 9/11. Former CIA director John Brennan joins to discuss. Whether because of bad advice, manipulation or foolhardiness, Donald Trump apparently thought his military adventure against Iran would be quick and easy, and now reports say he is in a frustrated rage over his own inability to escape the conflict as Americans grow increasingly bitter at the hardships Trump's folly has wrought. Admiral John Kirby, former White House national security communications advisor, joins to discuss the challenge Trump is facing.

Norm Eisen is back with us today to unpack the repercussions of Mark Meadows testimony against Donald Trump along with a slew of recent defectors from Sidney Powell to Jenna Ellis. Each one of these is a body blow to Trump's weakening defense. But Meadows could put the smoking gun in his hand. If you happen to be tuning in for the first time, Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst and the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. The former Obama Ethics Czar and Ambassador to the Czech Republic joins us today to get to the heart of what's going on.

Robert Garcia talks with Jen Psaki about the accountability Democrats intend to bring to the Trump family and his administration if they take back the House in November. Norm Eisen, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, talks with Jen Psaki about why Donald Trump's is the most corrupt administration in American history. Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper talks with Jen Psaki about his campaign for Senate and the issues voters are telling him matter most.

« Entre un conflit au Moyen-Orient, qu'il a lui-même déclenché et dont l'issue n'est pas perçue comme favorable, une inflation galopante et un taux de popularité en baisse, Donald Trump traverse une période délicate (sur le plan politique), constate Le Figaro à Paris. En revanche, les affaires du businessman qu'il n'a cessé d'être, sont au beau fixe, s'exclame le journal. Le président américain a vu sa fortune presque tripler depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche. Celle-ci est passée de 2,3 à 6,5 milliards de dollars entre 2024 et 2026, selon Forbes. L'information a été dévoilée avant-hier par le Bureau d'éthique gouvernementale. Comme ses prédécesseurs, le magnat de l'immobilier est en effet légalement obligé de faire la lumière sur son patrimoine et ses revenus une fois par an. Un garde-fou censé protéger le pays de la prévarication, pointe Le Figaro. Les 900 pages qui couvrent l'année 2025 démontrent pourtant une inquiétante confusion des genres entre les intérêts financiers de Donald Trump investisseur et Donald Trump, 47ᵉ président des États-Unis. » En effet, précise le Washington Post, « désormais, la majeure partie des revenus de Trump provient des cryptomonnaies et des activités connexes que son administration réglemente. » Interrogé par le journal, Lee Reiners, maître de conférences à l'université Duke, précise : « Depuis son retour au pouvoir, il gagne plus d'un milliard de dollars par an grâce aux cryptomonnaies, alors que son administration définit les règles de régulation de ces dernières. » Commentaire cinglant de Norm Eisen, ancien conseiller en éthique de la Maison-Blanche sous la présidence de Barack Obama, toujours dans le Washington Post : « Il s'agit d'une corruption d'une ampleur qui n'a que peu d'équivalents dans l'histoire mondiale. Cela s'explique, poursuit-il, par le fait qu'on n'a jamais vu auparavant un président prêt à monétiser pleinement le Bureau ovale. » À lire aussiDonald Trump a gagné plus d'un milliard de dollars dans les cryptos depuis son retour au pouvoir Retour de bâton politique ? « Même en supposant que tout cela soit légal, il s'agit d'une utilisation indécente de la présidence à des fins d'enrichissement familial », dénonce pour sa part le Wall Street Journal. « Difficile de croire que les fils Trump (qui gèrent la fortune familiale) auraient pu conclure les mêmes accords si leur père n'avait pas occupé le Bureau ovale. » Et le quotidien financier américain de prévenir : « Cela aura un coût politique pour les Républicains. Si les Démocrates reprennent le contrôle de la Chambre ou du Sénat en novembre, ils auront tout intérêt à enquêter sur les transactions de la famille Trump. Les accusations de corruption au sein du Parti républicain résonneront jusqu'en 2028 (prochaine année présidentielle). » Au sein de l'opposition démocrate, c'est le tollé. Pour Juliana Stratton, gouverneure-adjointe de l'Illinois et candidate démocrate au Sénat, citée par le Guardian à Londres, « l'avidité sans bornes de Trump est répugnante. Il utilise sa fonction de président pour amasser des milliards alors que les familles américaines peinent à subvenir à leurs besoins essentiels. » Gavin Newsom, gouverneur de Californie, affirme, lui, que ces révélations sur la fortune du président « montrent exactement » comment Trump a géré le marché des cryptomonnaies en s'enrichissant, alors que de nombreux investisseurs ont perdu de l'argent. À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: une loi historique pour encadrer les cryptomonnaies Trump s'est extrait des contraintes qui pesaient sur ses prédécesseurs Enfin, ce commentaire du Monde à Paris : « Avec Donald Trump, le pari des Pères fondateurs sur l'exemplarité des présidents des États-Unis est perdu. Personne ne se hasardera à partir à la recherche des vertus d'une présidence associée à la corruption la plus évidente et à une soif d'enrichissement. (…) Avec l'accroissement constant du périmètre du pouvoir exécutif, sanctifié par une Cour suprême acquise au principe d'une présidence quasi impériale, et le mépris du droit et des faits, la dissolution de la notion de conflit d'intérêts constitue la signature de ce second mandat. Entouré de courtisans en quête de faveurs, contrairement au premier mandat au cours duquel il devait composer avec un entourage parfois capable de lui résister, Donald Trump s'est extrait des contraintes qui pesaient sur ses prédécesseurs. » Et Le Monde de rappeler cet avertissement lancé par Adam Schiff, élu démocrate chargé d'instruire le premier procès en destitution de Donald Trump, en janvier 2020 : « Les Pères fondateurs ne pourront pas nous protéger contre nous-mêmes si le droit et la vérité ne comptent plus. » À lire aussiProcès en destitution: Donald Trump acquitté par le Sénat américain

Our latest Contrarian episode comes with the end of the SCOTUS term looming, primaries shaking the Democratic party, and a key court ruling threatening Trump's slush fund. A pair of Contrarian stalwarts—Maria Cardona and Norm Eisen—join Harry to break it all down. Has the Supreme Court just further broken our immigration system? And what will its final rulings of the term bring? Have mainstream Democrats lost their mojo? And could a new avenue of judicial scrutiny doom Trump's ugliest self-deal?

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday with somber news first: a B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base claims all eight servicemen aboard, the latest in a string of unexplained military aircraft losses. From there the show pivots into a packed lineup. Trump's latest Save America Act post adds two new conditions, and CannCon and Ghost debate whether the bill's failure to pass is actually a deliberate gatekeeping move to avoid a "fortified elections, case closed" narrative that would leave the black box voting machines untouched. ICE quietly starts pulling local voter files in Texas, the FBI raids Ohio's leading voter registration nonprofit with 125 agents, and Trump appoints James McDonald, one of the two attorneys who investigated FTX's collapse, as the new US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, days after Sam Bankman-Fried's pardon request and appeal loss. Norm Eisen's States United nonprofit comes under House Oversight scrutiny for deputizing private lawyers to prosecute Trump-aligned alternate electors in Arizona and Minnesota. Gavin Newsom announces he is under DOJ investigation and casts himself as Trump's next political target, while CannCon breaks down how his wife's nonprofit funnels donor and state money into her own for-profit film company through a school licensing scheme.

This week on indictment watch we have my friend, mentor, and moral compass Norm Eisen the former Obama Ethics Czar. Norm's prescient op/eds for The New York Times have predicted what would happen in all four indictments every step of the way. He joins me today to unpack what happened Monday in Georgia and the likelihood of Meadows and any of the defendants having their cases moved to Federal Court.

Jen Psaki looks at catastrophic polling data about how Americans feel about Donald Trump and his handling of issues like the economy and his war with Iran Jen also shares interviews from MS NOW reporter Alex Tabet with frustrated Trump voters who turning away from Trump. "They thought he was going to lower costs. They thought he was going to end the wars. They thought he was going to drain the swamp. They thought he was going to release the Epstein files. And now they're feeling pretty disillusioned." Democratic candidate for Senate from Texas, James Talarico, talks with Jen Psaki about how Donald Trump's broken promises and the hardships imposed by Trump's economy are giving his campaign the opportunity to connect with previously inaccessible voters and have a real shot at flipping that Senate seat in November. Norm Eisen, executive director of Democracy Defenders Fund, talks with Jen about the illegality of Donald Trump's self-indulgent use of federal resources, including the White House, for his personal aggrandizement and birthday celebration. John Brennan, former director of the CIA, joins to discuss Jay Clayton, Donald Trump's new DNI nominee, and the perils of Bill Pulte serving in the acting-DNI role for even a short period of time.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our old friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. His latest work of art is a model prosecution memo that came just days before Trump received his target letter that lays out the case against him in startling clarity. Eisen writes that “the memo builds on the work that has been done by the Jan. 6 Committee and many others but is the first comprehensive application of the law to the facts to establish that DOJ standards for bringing charges are met. We offer an in-depth look at the vast factual record through prosecutorial eyes to describe a relatively simple three-part theory of the case that prosecutors can try to verdict in a year or less.” It's that three-part theory that Norm is going to break down for us today. Settle in folks and get educated, you're about to get a masterclass in how to bring down Donald Trump. 

Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion over an unlawful tax return disclosure, a lawsuit that was time-barred, improperly pleaded under the statute, and lacked any adversity between the parties since Trump controlled the very agencies he was suing. Todd Blanche and the DOJ mounted zero defense, then quietly settled for $1.776 billion in taxpayer money, including a sweeping addendum that would have permanently shielded Trump, his family, his businesses, and his associates from any future federal investigation. On May 27th, a group of 35 former federal judges, represented by ethics attorney Norm Eisen, filed a motion alleging the settlement was a product of collusion and a fraud on the court. By May 29th, a federal judge had reopened the case. By Friday night, the Wall Street Journal reported the White House was scrambling. By Monday, it was dead. Trump has until June 12th to respond to the court's order. Republican senators, Mike Pence, and now the federal judiciary all lined up against it.

May 31, 2026, 7 AM; Senate Republicans are preparing for a showdown over President Trump's $1.7 billion so called Anti-Weaponization fund, which is part of a roughly $70 billion immigration enforcement reconciliation package. It's unclear how GOP leadership plans to navigate the dissent over the fund within their own party after previous concerns that some Republicans would support Democratic amendments blocking the proposal, effectively gutting the fund. Trump, of course, is likely not happy about all this, especially since he gave a self-imposed June 1st deadline for the GOP to pass the reconciliation package. House Speaker Mike Johnson probably won't be thrilled either and he's got his own hands full. The House will revisit a war powers resolution aimed at reining in President Trump's military operations in Iran, which was previously scrapped after GOP leaders concluded they didn't have enough votes to defeat it. It's expected to pass with a handful of Republican defections. Mychael Schnell and Scott MacFarlane join The Weekend to discuss the discuss the congressional vote, likely to happen this week.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center” a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. His latest piece for MSNBC lays out how Jack Smith can defeat Trump and put him behind bars. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. Having spent time in Eastern Europe as the Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Eisen cares deeply about the region and is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. But today it's all indictment talk. And Norm is ready to put the bracelets on little Donny for good. 

Former Rep. Beto O'Rourk talks with Jen Psaki about why the political conditions in Texas may finally be right for Democrats to start flipping Senate seats. Donald Trump successfully lured the U.S. media into publishing headlines about another imminent peace deal with Iran over Memorial Day weekend, only for the deal to fall apart yet again and then days later the U.S. is firing more missiles despite the ongoing so-called ceasefire. Robert Malley, former special envoy to Iran, talks with Jen Psaki about the cycle of failure Trump is stuck in and what steps could realistically make progress toward re-opening the Strait of Hormuz and ending U.S. military action in Iran. Donald Trump is trying to use the 250th anniversary of the United States as an excuse for sloppy spending on rehabilitating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while Americans watch him turn the White House grounds into a circus scene. Norm Eisen, executive chair of the Democracy Defenders Fund, talks with Jen Psaki about the impropriety of Trump's vanity projects.

Norm Eisen, President Obama's "ethics czar" and founder of Democracy Defenders, talks to Alex Wagner about Trump's latest avalanche of corruption: the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off Jan. 6 rioters, the IRS immunity announcement, the ballroom, the reflecting pool renovation, the 3,000-plus stock trades placed while in office, and, unfortunately, much more. Together, they unpack how Democrats in Congress — or lawyers outside of it — could stop Trump's slush fund, and what impact this onslaught of self-enrichment, cronyism, and taxpayer abuse may have on the midterm elections.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Eisen is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. So, let's go now to my conversation with Norm Eisen. Michael and Morm really dug into the indictment and all the other Trump cases on the horizon.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the Thursday energy with a show that covers elections, fraud, and the deep state infrastructure being dismantled in real time. Tulsi Gabbard's ODNI releases memos showing CIA officers attempted to alter evidence of China's interference in the 2020 election and actively kept the information from Trump and Congress, with 12 to 18 state voter registration databases confirmed accessed. CannCon and Alpha debate whether the Venezuela election fraud narrative is the real story or a CIA scapegoat protecting London-based globalists. The DOJ signals blue state gerrymandering laws are now in its crosshairs, with 10 states having written racial preferences into their own voting rights acts. The FBI wins its fight to keep the Fulton County seized documents, with the judge denying Norm Eisen and Abbe Lowell's motion to quash. The Daily Wire drops a bombshell exposing 288 Medicaid-billing businesses in one Columbus, Ohio building that charged taxpayers a quarter billion dollars, and the FBI simultaneously raids Virginia Senate leader Eloise Lucas, who runs a disability services company out of her political office. Alpha connects the $10 million MacArthur Park fentanyl bust to the dismantling of the deep state's dark money infrastructure in Los Angeles. Plus, Asheville receives $225M for Hurricane Helene recovery and plans to build eight houses.

CannCon and Ashe in America pack a full show without a guest. The DOJ charges four non-citizen resident aliens with illegal voting in New Jersey, and DHS confirms an active investigation into illegal alien voters in Franklin County, Ohio, raising bigger questions about how they got registered in the first place. In Fulton County, Georgia, citizen investigator Jason Fraser exposes 10,000-plus duplicate voter registrations, while a nine-year poll veteran details how unsworn ACLU clerks used personal computers to clear voter records from the eNET system during the 2020 election. Brad Raffensperger refuses to say he made a mistake certifying 2020 in a gubernatorial debate, and then looks down. The Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS decision effectively kills the expansive use of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act as a racial gerrymandering tool, and the court expedites its remand instead of waiting the typical 32 days, a significant signal heading into the 2026 midterms. The show closes on the DOJ grand jury subpoena demanding personal contact information for every Fulton County 2020 election worker, and Norm Eisen and Abby Lowell's motion to quash it.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst.  And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. Eisen is also active with the Brookings Institute and other groups working to expose the myriad of ways Trump and others like him broke the law and attempted to overturn the 2020 election. Eisen is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. Michael and Norm dig into Trumps legal woes for and possible upcoming indictments.

In our latest Contrarian episode, Norm Eisen, Norm Ornstein, and Jen Rubin join Harry to assess new flashpoints in Trump's nonstop quest to escape accountability and his hasty efforts to claw free of his war in the Middle East. The group takes stock of Trump's stumbling attempts to find a deal with Iran, which seem likely to leave the U.S. weakened and isolated. The panel also weighs the bombshell state charges against an ICE agent and the odds that Trump could name two new Supreme Court justices before year's end.  Mentioned in this episode: The Contrarian:  https://contrarian.substack.com/ Norm Ornstein's podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dsrs-words-matter/id1420216970 The Robert Kagan article about America's changing place in the world: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/03/trump-national-security-greenland-spheres-of-interest/685673/  The profile of Justice Alito: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/samuel-alito-supreme-court-conservative/686756/  Norm Ornstein's kakistocracy article: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/10/american-kakistocracy/542391/ Learn more about your ad choices.

April 19, 2026; 8am: President Trump renewed threats to Iran as he announced the U.S. will be going to Islamabad tomorrow for negotiations.

Over the phone, he told Alemany that the American negotiators will be U.S. Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and also Vice President JD Vance will not be traveling to participate in talks.

Hungary's autocratic creep was turned back at the ballot box last weekend, in a stark rebuke to the forces of illiberalism and to the American conservatives who invested so heavily in former Hungarian leader Viktor Orban's mission. It's good news. But it's not the end of the story. It behoves pro-democracy forces in the United States to move past the example of democratic resilience in Hungary to real, systemic change to the machinery of American democracy. On this week's Amicus podcast, Norm Eisen, former ambassador and current democracy warrior (as founder of www.democracydefendersfund.org), tells Dahlia Lithwick that America's response to Trumpism starts with protecting the rule of law, safeguarding elections, and strangling corruption—the three pillars of a genuine democratic recovery. The key isn't just fixing courts or passing reforms—it's about building a democratic coalition based on simple, clear issues. As Democrats dare to dream of what may be possible in a post-Trump America, it's time to start making concrete, workable plans. This week's show highlights the roadmap out of autocracy, through coalitions, court reform, and corruption-busting. Want more Amicus?

Contrarian stalwarts Norm Eisen, Asha Rangappa, and Jen Rubin join Harry for a special episode filmed in front of a live audience at Princeton University. They begin with the cataclysmic fall of the Washington Post and what it shows about Trump's power to demolish even the most powerful civic institutions. From there, they turn to the deportation effort, which seems to be running itself into the ground, and Trump's latest noises about election interference. They end with some measured but forceful optimism for American democracy in 2026.

Today on Mea Culpa, I am looking back at a past conversation with former ambassador, legal analyst, and founder and executive chair of the Democracy Defenders Fund, Norm Eisen. Back in August, we examined the Trump administration's ongoing failure to deliver transparency and accountability, especially in the case of Jeffrey Epstein. While the DOJ has released millions of Epstein-related documents in recent months, it still feels as though the public has been denied real answers and meaningful accountability. We also discuss DOJ independence, Trump's two-tiered justice system, congressional oversight failures, and the erosion of public trust.

The panel reviews the legal and political prospects for stopping what local leaders call a "federal invasion." Can congressional Democrats restrain ICE?
