The Aug. 4, 2026, primary election is still a year away, but several candidates have already announced campaigns for statewide office in Kansas. Some races have a large field of candidates, especially in the Republican primary for governor. Others have yet to see a candidate filing, like Democratic primaries for treasurer and insurance commissioner.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/05/2025): 3:05pm- Sydney Sweeney is a Registered Republican Living in Florida? A new American Eagle clothing advertisement features Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney bragging about her “great jeans.” Far-left social media users, however, are ridiculously saying that the commercial is secretly promoting eugenics—insisting the ad's “great jeans” line really means “great genes.” American Eagle responded to the complaints, emphasizing the commercial was always just about “jeans.” Meanwhile, over the weekend, activists “outed” Sweeney as a registered Republican living in Florida—and video has surfaced of her shooting guns impressively. But is anyone, aside from those obsessively online, genuinely angry about her political affiliation or hobbies? 3:20pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response, Governor Greg Abbott has argued that fleeing the state to prevent the legislative process simply because you don't like the expected outcome of an upcoming vote amounts to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.” 3:30pm- After learning that Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, President Donald Trump hilariously stated: “oh, now I love her ad!” 3:50pm- Rich sees Superman in theaters…again. Plus, did he really do a Fox News segment from inside a van??? 4:00pm- According to a Fox News report, Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed her staff to “act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter.” You can read the full report here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-launching-grand-jury-investigation-russiagate-conspiracy-allegations-source. 4:15pm- Declassified intelligence documents released last Thursday allege that Hillary Clinton approved of a strategy proposed by a senior campaign adviser to link then-candidate Donald Trump to false claims of Russian collusion, in an effort to deflect attention from her own escalating email controversy during the 2016 election. 4:20pm- The 24-page intelligence annex, compiled from memos and emails gathered by the Obama administration ahead of Election Day, details “confidential conversations” between top Democratic National Committee officials—including then-Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz—and executives at liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations. The plan, reportedly crafted by Clinton's then-foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith, focused on falsely linking the Trump campaign with Russian officials. 4:30pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) moments from corporate media. This week, major network anchors meltdown over redistricting in Texas, though they've historically ignored aggressive California, Illinois, and New York redistricting efforts which have favored Democrats. 5:05pm- According to a Fox News report, Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed her staff to “act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter.” You can read the full report here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-launching-grand-jury-investigation-russiagate-conspiracy-allegations-source. 5:20pm- On Monday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

From New York City, Documented's Labor Reporter Amir Khafagy returns to fill us in on mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's win in the primary election, and how mainstream media overlooked the immigrant vote. Was this a “political upset” to journalists from those very communities? And reporting from the U.S. South, Capital B Rural Issues Reporter Aallyah Wright discusses new legislation from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that will have devastating impacts on Black farmers. Also in this episode: employers allegedly threatening immigrant workers with ICE and deportation for speaking up about wage theft, the independent media model and holding journalists accountable. As you'll hear, these reporters are not just covering their communities — they're helping to build the infrastructure for more inclusive, accurate storytelling about race, place, and power.“In the mainstream media there was this conversation happening around, maybe the gentrifier class and the hipsters were the ones coming out and voting for [Zohran Mamdani]. And that may have been true to some extent, but immigrant communities, especially Asian immigrant communities, were really excited for him . . .  Some of the districts in Queens that even went Trump voted for Zohran. - Amir Khafagy“I've been seeing a lot of news coverage about the USDA, when we talk about office closures or folks being laid off, or these grants that are being cut . . . But they're not always focused on the realities of what that looks like for Black farmers, given the history of the fraught relationship between Black farmers and the USDA and the historic discrimination.” - Aallyah WrightGuests:• Amir Khafagy: Senior Labor Reporter, Documented NY• Aallyah Wright: Rural Issues Reporter, Capital B Watch the episode released on YouTube July 25th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 27th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2 4:05pm- Declassified intelligence documents released Thursday allege that Hillary Clinton approved of a strategy proposed by a senior campaign adviser to link then-candidate Donald Trump to false claims of Russian collusion, in an effort to deflect attention from her own escalating email controversy during the 2016 election. 4:10pm- The 24-page intelligence annex, compiled from memos and emails gathered by the Obama administration ahead of Election Day, details “confidential conversations” between top Democratic National Committee officials—including then-Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz—and executives at liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations. The plan, reportedly crafted by Clinton's then-foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith, focused on falsely linking the Trump campaign with Russian officials. 4:20pm- Flashback: For years, Hillary Clinton has appeared on television baselessly insisting that Donald Trump colluded with Russian officials to alter the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. 4:30pm- In a post to X, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote: “Whistleblower reveals how they were threatened by a supervisor to go along with the Obama-directed Russia hoax “intelligence” assessment, even though they knew it was not credible or accurate. The Whistleblower refused. Yesterday we released the Whistleblower's firsthand account of what happened in the crafting of the January 2017 ICA, their yearslong efforts to expose the egregious manipulation and manufacturing of intelligence carried out at the highest levels of government and the IC (detailed in our previous releases) and how they were repeatedly ignored. Thank you to this courageous whistleblower, and others who are coming forward now, putting their own well-being on the line to defend our democratic republic, ensure the American people know the truth, and hold those responsible accountable.” 4:40pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/31/2025): 3:05pm- The Biggest Political Scandal in American History: On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee declassified intelligence—specifically the annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's report—allegedly revealing that Hillary Clinton personally approved of the efforts to promote the false narrative that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election. One declassified email exchange reveals that “HRC approved Julia's [Clinton foreign policy advisor Julianne Smith] idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level.” 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said of the Russia collusion hoax: “with this Durham report annex out, it finally proves that the FBI was covering up.” 3:40pm- A report from The New York Post reveals that FBI Director Kash Patel found a “burn bag” with thousands of documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. One of the documents discovered is the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's probe. 4:05pm- Declassified intelligence documents released Thursday allege that Hillary Clinton approved of a strategy proposed by a senior campaign adviser to link then-candidate Donald Trump to false claims of Russian collusion, in an effort to deflect attention from her own escalating email controversy during the 2016 election. 4:10pm- The 24-page intelligence annex, compiled from memos and emails gathered by the Obama administration ahead of Election Day, details “confidential conversations” between top Democratic National Committee officials—including then-Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz—and executives at liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

Will anyone ultimately be held accountable? 5:15pm- A report from The New York Post reveals that FBI Director Kash Patel found a “burn bag” with thousands of documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. One of the documents discovered is the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's probe. 5:20pm- Sen. Elizabeth Warren leaned on a table that wasn't bolted to the Senate floor—causing her and the table to spill over. While other Senators helped her up, why did Ron Wyden just keep walking? Don't worry: Warren wasn't hurt. Though, we are not sure if the table is ok. 5: ...

Right, all you dropkicks out there - as David Seymour fondly called some voters this week - the electoral laws are changing and you're being given a good year's notice to make sure you're enrolled and your details are correct before advanced voting starts in the general election next year. No enrolments or changes will be accepted after advanced voting starts. You may think a year is adequate time to get your head around new rules and be prepared. But I was surprised by some of the stats around voting. In 2023, 134,000 people changed their physical address or electorates during the advanced voting period, and almost 100,00 people enrolled to vote. I don't have an issue with not being able to enrol or make changes on Election Day. But not being able to do these things during the 12 days of advanced voting before the election is clearly going to catch people out. It's because of the big numbers I mentioned that the Electoral Commission has raised issues around the cost and administrative burden of processing so many special votes and late enrolments. But I don't think this change has its priorities straight. Should it be made harder to vote just so it's cheaper and easier on election admin? We should be making voting as accessible as possible for all New Zealanders, the organised ones and the not so organised ones, so they can fulfil their democratic right to vote, so parliament represents as many of us as possible. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith, who is championing the changes, has been warned by Ministry of Justice officials that these changes could result in lower enrolment rates, lower turnout, and more disallowed votes. We're being told there will be educational campaigns about the new rules and how to vote next year, possibly from the orange man. But you only need to look at the numbers I mentioned to know not everyone is seeing or taking notice of what the orange man has to say. Goldsmith argues that we will also get results faster with fewer special votes, which take longer to process. And yes, it would be good to get a government in place quicker than some we've seen, but often it's clear from Election Night results which parties have the ability to put a coalition together. So instead of waiting for weeks for a few seats to be confirmed, what's stopping those parties engaging in the negotiation process? Anyway, we can't complain we haven't been given fair notice. Just, whatever you do, don't move house a couple of weeks before the next election. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 148: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Now that it's Murdochian Official (WHAT? Trump is IN the Trumpstein files? I'm shocked to discover there's gambling going on in here) and a Politico source says Trump and his White House goons are so lost "it's the first time I've ever seen them sort of paralyzed," expect them to push even harder on their QAnonTM fantasy that Barack Obama is guilty of 'treason' - even beyond the farce that the nitwitted Tulsi Gabbard and Karoline Leavitt presented yesterday. So it is time for President Obama to respond - and crush Trump. It is Obama's moment. Rather than again insist that EVERYBODY ELSE needs to DO more and SAY more and STAND for more, he should give a national address in which he sues Trump personally for slander and defamation and announce a ridiculous figure sought - like $500 Billion - and call for a conference at which he and President Clinton and other Democratic leaders and the SCOTUS justices they appointed and every decent Republican and every true American meets to strategize how to legally and immediately remove Trump from office and replace his criminal gang with a bipartisan caretaker government to carry us through to Election Day 2028. I will give a version of the speech Obama should now give, because he has been unexpectedly afforded the opportunity to perhaps actually start something that could end this nightmare of a madman steadily disassembling American democracy, a Temu Hitler gradually turning harassment of minorities into persecution and ethnic cleansing, a criminal who must stay in office at any cost or face the reality of dying in prison for his countless crimes. I have no doubt he can do better. I would not doubt he has a better idea. I will take no offense - provided he DOES something. “Trump is clearly furious,” a Politico close-to-the-White House source told its Trump stenographer yesterday. “It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed.” Say Hey! Trump’s White House is paralyzed! Excellent – kick them down the stairs, they can’t fight back. It’ll hurt more. The Trumpsteen Birthday Card is real and it CAN’T be the worst thing about Trump in the files that we now know Bondi told him about in May, otherwise he would’ve released the files. The photos of Epsteen at Trump’s second wedding are real, and THEY can’t be the worst otherwise he would’ve released it. Whatever’s worst is at LEAST B+ material. Keep hammering. B-Block (37:16) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: They piled up quick! Trump just asked Washington's NFL team to change its name; Trump once hammered Obama for asking Washington's NFL team to change its name. Mike Lee fell for an AI Jerome Powell resignation so badly done that the only word in the office logo that wasn't gibberish was "BUREAU," Chris Cillizza is actually criticizing somebody else for talking politics when nobody wants to hear that person talking politics, and the passing of the eternal Ozzy Osbourne inspires John Yang to get Ozzy's native country wrong and Alex Jones to get the cause of death wrong. C-Block (48:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Can you believe it? After I presented the inarguable evidence that CBS didn't fire Colbert just to please Trump (how are you shutting him up if he's not fired until next May?) I get invited to speak at a PRO-Colbert rally. I explained what I was going to say, and the line went dead. One of the things I was going to say was how this is the same as MSNBC's firing of Phil Donahue in 2003. I was actually in the room for that, so let's go through it step by step.

On this week’s episode of Elon, Inc., host Max Chafkin and Bloomberg News reporters Dana Hull and Kurt Wagner chat about Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI. The endeavor just debuted its new Grok 4 model on the heels of an antisemitism controversy, but Musk sees a brighter future for his creation, claiming it might discover “new physics” one day. Before that happens, though, the buzziest feature of the model is its AI companions—including a pigtailed and corseted anime character. Musk introduced Grok 4 as news dropped that one of his other companies, SpaceX, would invest in xAI, and that another company he happens to run, Tesla, might follow suit (pending a shareholder vote). Our guests discuss what exactly it means when a rocket company and a car company invest in another company that’s making AI girlfriends, especially when all those companies happen to be run by the richest man in the world. Then Wagner takes over the hosting chair to interview New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer about the role Musk and his Silicon Valley billionaire pals have played in building the Trump administration, starting before the Republican took office. The conversation is the first in a summer series in which our Elon, Inc. panelists interview Musk reporters about the stories we’re jealous we didn’t write first. Schleifer recounts the weeks following Election Day last year, when Musk embedded himself at Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago in an effort to influence the future president’s plans. As candidates for top cabinet positions began swinging by the Florida club, they found themselves seated across from Musk’s loyal aides. Wagner and Schleifer also discuss the constantly evolving relationship between Musk and Trump, and whether Musk will still be involved in politics when the year comes to a close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

City officials, including Mayor Ollie Clemons, defended the increase, citing inflation and a $1.6M budget shortfall. Finance Director Rachel Yarbrough explained the city’s reliance on gas revenue and the need for higher property taxes. Residents voiced concerns about affordability, lack of a city manager, and the sharp increase’s impact, especially on seniors. Clemons assured measures to ease the burden for older residents but emphasized the necessity of the hike to sustain city services. Two more public hearings are scheduled, with the final one on July 14. STORY 2: Advanced voting for Public Service Democratic runoff begins Advanced voting for the Democratic special primary runoff for the District 3 Public Service Commission seat began Monday and runs through July 11, with polling stations open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Keisha Sean Waites, a former Atlanta City Councilwoman, faces clean-energy advocate Peter Hubbard, with the winner advancing to challenge Republican incumbent Fitz Johnson in November. Waites led the initial primary with 47.2% of the vote but fell short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Eligible voters include those who voted Democratic or did not vote in the June 17 primary. Election Day is July 15, and voters must bring valid photo ID and vote at their assigned location.

The Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation and urges anyone with information to call 770-499-3945. STORY 5: Mableton residents could see new tax as city grapples with $9.5M county agreement Mableton Mayor Michael Owens plans to propose a special service district (SSD) tax to cover a $9.5M payment to Cobb County for police and transportation services through 2026. The SSD would levy a citywide millage rate, targeting funds specifically for public safety. Owens emphasized transparency and fairness, aiming to avoid a general property tax. The city must pay $3M by May 2026 and $6.5M by December 2026, with collections starting soon. Owens seeks a long-term deal with Cobb to stabilize costs and avoid annual renegotiations. The SSD proposal will go before the City Council within 90 days, with revenue projections expected by year-end.

STORY 7: Cobb EMC considering term limit extension Cobb EMC members will vote this summer on a proposed bylaw amendment to extend board term limits from four to five terms. The amendment, aimed at preventing a complete board turnover within 24 months, was approved 5-3 by the board to appear on the ballot. While some directors support the change to retain institutional knowledge, others, like Rudy Underwood, oppose it, citing prior commitments to term limits. A recent survey showed members are divided, with 49.2% favoring current limits and 43.3% supporting the extension. Voting begins in August, with the final decision at the annual meeting on Sept. 13.

President Trump arrives in the Netherlands for the NATO summit after lashing out at Israel and Iran for allegedly violating his already fragile ceasefire. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon reacts to President Trump's comments about the ceasefire lasting “forever.” Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) discusses the latest assessment about Iran's nuclear program. NBC News White House Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard catches up with New York City Democratic mayoral primary frontrunners Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani on Election Day.

Trump's so-called “ceasefire plan” collapsed in what feels like record time. Tensions between Iran and Israel are still boiling over, and the deal he touted as a diplomatic win? DOA. We'll break down what went wrong, what happens next, and why Trump's foreign policy “wins” keep slipping through his fingers. Then we'll pivot to the heat, literal and political, in New York City. It's Election Day, and voters are hitting the polls in the middle of one of the hottest days the city's seen in years. Will the weather sway the outcome of the Cuomo vs. Mamdani showdown?

Today we're diving into the sixth of our eight-part series, exploring how nonprofits champion democracy and protect voting rights. We'll unpack the strategies these organizations use to advocate for democratic participation while operating within the law.

Advocacy can take many forms, lobbying is just one form. There are many ways organizations can advocate for change to ensure democracy and voting rights are secure. Organizing, educating the public, conducting research, executive branch and regulatory activities, working with your local state board of elections, trainings and litigation just to name a few way.   Here are some ways organizations have undertake ·      Educate the Public o   Democracy North Carolina launched a digital explainer on redistricting and gerrymandering for community audiences, and engaged in election protection work.

Foundation-Funded Advocacy ·      Public and private foundations can fund 501(c)(3) nonpartisan voter engagement activities that do not support or oppose candidates for public office. ·      Special rules for private foundations re: voter registration drives (grants must be for nonpartisan VR drives conducted in 5 or more states over multiple election cycles), but community foundations can fund VR even for small, local, grassroots organizations. ·      Ford Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York have supported nonpartisan voter education and rights litigation to strengthen democracy and public trust in government.   Lobbying ·      Legislative Wins o   New York: Enacted the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act, pushed through with support from a coalition including Legal Defense Fund and Citizen Action of NY o   New Mexico: Passed legislation mandating automatic and same-day voter registration following lobbying by ProgressNow NM and allies. ·      Ballot Measures Protecting Voting Rights o   Michigan Proposal 2 (2022): Guaranteed early voting and drop boxes; supported by Voters Not Politicians and League of Women Voters of Michigan. o   Arizona: Local advocates, including Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), defeated multiple voter suppression ballot initiatives. o   Nevada: Voters passed automatic voter registration (2018) and expanded it further in 2022 with strong nonprofit support.
