Today's Let's Talk Dallas County program features PerryDice Cruiser Car and Motorcycle Show Organizer Joe Shelly, who shares the details for this year's event on Saturday.

“We are living in a pivotal moment in labor history,” Cole Rockarts writes in their new book Fired Up About Unions. “At a time when corporations have more power, profit, and political influence than ever before, workers are leading inspiring union organizing campaigns and taking on bosses to win big… Their struggles reveal that everyday people can unite, change their conditions, and build better workplaces and a better world.” In this episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of labor organizers across the USA and Canada about why labor unions are more important now than ever, and how workers organizing collectively can change their workplaces, their lives, and the world.Panelists include: Hassan Husseini of the Public Service Alliance of Canada and Labor for Palestine - Canada; Tina Oh of SEIU Local 2 in Hallifax, Canada; Alex Raymond of Teamsters 322 in Virginia, USA, and Cole Rockarts, veteran labor educator and organizer and author of the new book Fired Up About Unions.Additional links/info: Cole Rockarts, Between the Lines Press, Fired Up About UnionsFeatured Music: Jules Taylor, Working People Theme SongCredits: Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Cold Spring prepares for riverfront flooding Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday (Sept. 25) declared a state of emergency for Westchester County, New York City and Long Island ahead of a nor'easter expected to hit over the weekend, although the forecast is less severe for the Highlands. The state cautioned residents, especially in shoreline and low-lying coastal communities, to take precautions because of expected high winds, dangerous surf and flooding. The worst impacts are expected overnight Friday through Sunday morning. The National Weather Service issued a flood advisory on Friday for Putnam County that will continue through 2 p.m. Sunday. It expects the worst local flooding at high tide on Saturday morning. The local forecast for Saturday is mostly cloudy with a steady temperature of about 56 degrees. It will be breezy, with a north wind of 18 to 20 mph and gusts up to 34 mph. The chance of precipitation is 70 percent, mostly after 8 a.m. in Philipstown and after 11 a.m. in Beacon. On Sunday, the chance of precipitation is 90 percent, with a northeast wind of 17 to 22 mph. The chance of precipitation for Monday is also 90 percent. Cold Spring officials said their chief concern is along the riverfront, as a full moon increases the likelihood that the Hudson will breach its banks. The village restricted parking on Market Street throughout the weekend to provide an alternate evacuation route if West Street floods and said residents should be prepared for road closures in the lower village. Sandbagging material is available for village residents at the rear of the Fair Street municipal lot, next to the Riverview Restaurant. In the upper village, pumps are set up on Main Street and the tightest pinch points have been cleared along Back Brook, it said. Hudson Valley Shakespeare canceled its Saturday shows of Les Misérables and said it would announce the fate of the 5 p.m. Sunday show by noon that day. The two performances are the final ones scheduled for the 2026 season at the Philipstown venue. The annual Spirit of Beacon Day, scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed to Oct. 4. The Kids' Fishing Derby scheduled for Saturday morning at the Garrison Fish & Game Club has been postponed. Organizers of other events that have been canceled or delayed can email calendar@highlandscurrent.org to have updates placed on The Current's digital calendar. The state said coastal flooding is its primary concern; the worst flooding is expected during high tide along the south shore of Long Island, as well as parts of lower New York Harbor and coastal areas of the Bronx, Westchester and northern Nassau County along the Long Island Sound. Waves could reach 22 feet along eastern Long Island, with up to 60 mph wind gusts. The state said 5,675 workers are ready statewide to respond, including 175 overhead contractors hired by Con Edison and "cut-and-toss" crews to clear debris.

Prince Andrew has been progressively shut out of prominent royal occasions as his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre turned him into a reputational liability for the monarchy. Organizers planning Prince Philip's 100th-birthday commemorations reportedly intended to exclude Andrew from the principal celebrations and omit photographs of him from a planned exhibition. Philip died at 99 before the centenary took place, but the preparations illustrated how far Andrew's standing had fallen following his disastrous BBC interview and withdrawal from public duties.The pattern continued across the royal calendar. Andrew was excluded from the Buckingham Palace balcony during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee and restricted to the private portions of the 2022 Order of the Garter gathering after Charles and William reportedly opposed his participation in the public procession. He subsequently appeared at some family ceremonies only in a diminished or private capacity, without the military affiliations, ceremonial prominence or official responsibilities he once held. The palace's position became increasingly clear: Andrew could remain a family member behind closed doors, but the Epstein revelations had made him unwelcome in the public images used to represent the Crown.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Emily Off-Road joins the Jeep Talk Show to talk about founding the Rebel Rally, why a long women's-only endurance event had to be bold and raw, and how course design, strategy, and firsthand competition shape every mile. She explains the third-day breaking point, why she skipped a saturated men's racing space, and how rented stock Wranglers helped prove unmodified Jeeps can succeed.

Stark County Fall Festival Returns to Wyoming September 19-20 The annual Stark County Fall Festival is returning to Thomas Park in Wyoming on Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20, with two full days of food, entertainment, activities, vendors and family fun. Peggy and Connie recently joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to preview this year's festival, which promises something for visitors of all ages. Organizers are planning to make Saturday a special kids' day, with activities including inflatables, face painting, kids' games, a pedal tractor pull and old-fashioned children's games. At 2 p.m., children can participate in activities such as gunny sack races, noodle races and relay races. Organizers say there will also be surprises, and no child will leave without something. The festival will also feature a petting zoo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, provided by Linquist's Mini Farms. Characters in costume will also walk through the park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving children an opportunity to meet some new friends. Music will be featured throughout the weekend, with Caden Leisure scheduled to perform around noon on Saturday. The Stark County Fair Queens will also be on hand to help with the children's games. Plenty of Food and Shopping Visitors can enjoy plenty of food throughout the festival, including breakfast options. The Wyoming Lions Club will serve pancakes and sausage Saturday morning, while Cozy Ranch will provide biscuits, gravy and eggs Sunday morning. A large selection of crafters and vendors will also fill Thomas Park. Organizers say shoppers can find everything from baked goods and candles to wood products, Tupperware and other handmade and specialty items. Vendors include Nature's Creation, Pampered Chef and Don's Dazzling Dashes, among others. Some vendors will only be at the festival Saturday, while others will remain for both days. Sunday Brings More Activities Sunday will begin with breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m., followed by a church service at 10:30 a.m. The day will continue with activities for the entire family, including a kids' karaoke contest hosted by DJ Chad Patel. One of the weekend's most anticipated attractions will arrive at noon when the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile makes a stop at the festival. Organizers encourage families to come out, see the famous vehicle and take photos. A pickleball tournament will also be held Sunday on the basketball court. Registration begins at noon, and participants do not need to register in advance. The kids' karaoke contest is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., followed by the festival's Battle of the Sexes competition at approximately 3 p.m. The Battle of the Sexes will feature four men and four women competing in a variety of challenges. Organizers say the teams include teachers, pastoral representatives, businesspeople and firefighters, making for what should be a fun and competitive event. Community Volunteers Make It Possible Organizers emphasized that the Fall Festival is truly a community effort, relying heavily on volunteers, vendors and local support. The festival's message is summed up by its welcoming motto: "Come as a stranger, leave as a friend." "We appreciate the community coming out and supporting us," organizers said, while also thanking the many volunteers and vendors who help make the festival possible. Vendor registration remains open, even for those who decide at the last minute that they would like to participate. Organizers say they will continue accepting vendors right up through the festival and will work with vendors on arrangements and payment. For vendor information, contact Peggy at 309-695-6575 or Connie at 308-631-2065. With food, crafts, children's activities, live entertainment, a petting zoo, the Wienermobile, pickleball and the Battle of the Sexes, organizers say there will be plenty of reasons to spend the weekend at Thomas Park. The Stark County Fall Festival takes place September 19-20 at Thomas Park in Wyoming.

According to data from the 2020 U.S. Census, almost 1 in 4 people are not registered to vote. A healthy democracy depends on people who are willing to participate–and encourage others to do the same.On Thursday, September 10, BigTentUSA was joined by Chyann Sapp, Coordinator for National Voter Registration Day, to promote voter registration by organizing registration drives in your communities in the lead up to the 2026 midterm elections.Chyann discussed the work NVRD is engaging in to get people registered amid ever increasing challenges, and how registering to vote, staying informed, and showing up can help strengthen our democracy. She also touched upon how people can organize voter drives in their own communities, one voter at a time.Learn more about National Voter Registration Day Here: https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/Participate in a BigTentUSA letter writing campaign: https://bigtentusa.org/act-now/#reach-votersABOUT THE SPEAKER: Chyann Sapp brings a wealth of strategic planning experience across diverse sectors, including government, nonprofit, advertising, and real estate sales and development.

(Courtesy missindianarizona / Instagram) A piece of the World Trade Center made a historic stop on Tribal land in Arizona. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation's “Steel Across America” tour visited the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community near Scottsdale, Arizona this summer. A nearly 17,000-pound steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center's South Tower was displayed at the USS Arizona Memorial Gardens at Salt River. Organizers say it was the tour's first and only stop on sovereign Tribal land as the beam traveled more than 10,000 miles across the country ahead of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The foundation says the stop recognized the longstanding tradition of military service among Native people. The memorial gardens are home to a piece of the USS Arizona, which was destroyed during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. For the first time, steel connected to the 9/11 attacks was displayed there alongside steel from the USS Arizona. Jani Ingram’s students investigate a water source on the Navajo Nation. (Courtesy Jani Ingram) A professor at Northern Arizona University has added new data to a map of safe drinking water on the Navajo Nation. KNAU's Chris Clements reports the map is intended to help tribal communities still struggling with the effects of past uranium mining. Professor Jani Ingram, Navajo Nation, had been driving across the reservation for a while with her student. Their goal? Find and test a remote well that one family was using. “It’s something that needed to be tested because it it really wasn’t great. It had pretty high uranium.” It can be hard for Navajo families to know if the wells near their homes have been contaminated by high uranium levels, which have been linked to health issues like kidney disease and lung cancer. Blue and red dots show water points installed using federal funds from the Indian Health Service CARES Act following the COVID-19 pandemic. (Courtesy Navajo Safe Water) Ingram mapped safe wells using water quality data she and her students collected from years in the field. The map can be found online at the website Navajo Safe Water. And her work is not over: there are tons of tribal wells that have not been tested, something she says she is willing to do at no cost. Indigenous students enrolled within the Chandler Unified School District are featured in a land acknowledgement video from 2025. (Courtesy CUSD) Last year, Indigenous students filmed a brief land acknowledgment for the Chandler Unified School District in Arizona. Following a fierce public debate Wednesday, the governing board voted to play this video at the beginning of all its meetings and future graduation ceremonies. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. “We recognize the past, present, and future inhabitants on this land.” “We will cherish, respect and protect this land for generations to come.” This message is only a minute and 43 seconds long, but it means a lot to Indigenous Parent Committee co-president Monique John. “We went into creating this video with positive intentions for our students and communities – all students Native and non-Native.” Chandler governing board member Kurt Rohrs disagrees. “It has no real purpose in addressing our primary mission of improving academic performance for our students. This statement is an empty performance gesture of wokeness, which really doesn't accomplish anything.” Basha High senior Syndel Preston, who is president of the school's Indigenous student club, suggests otherwise. “I want my Indigenous peers to know that they are seen, that the lands CUSD stands on is theirs as well. I don't believe it is divisive to want that for my community and those like me.” The measure passed in a 3-2 vote. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

A traveling exhibit in Dallas is putting roughly three million pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related records on public display while deliberately highlighting Epstein's past relationship with President Donald Trump. Organizers have named it the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room,” describing the project as both a public archive and a tribute to survivors. The exhibit includes shelves of documents tied to Epstein's trafficking operation along with a visual timeline tracing Trump and Epstein's social relationship before Trump became president. Coordinator David Garrett said Trump's name appears tens of thousands of times in the released files and acknowledged that using Trump's name in the title was intended to draw attention to the exhibit. Trump has denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and has said he ended their relationship years before Epstein's 2019 arrest.The exhibit opened in Dallas as the Republican National Committee's midterm convention began and as Trump arrived in the city, giving the project an unmistakably political backdrop even though organizers insisted the timing was coincidental and the purpose was survivor-centered rather than partisan. Survivors appearing at the exhibit argued that the document releases still leave major questions unanswered, particularly because they believe powerful people and alleged co-conspirators remain shielded by redactions while survivors themselves have repeatedly had their private information exposed. Organizers said the broader goal is to make the Epstein records accessible to ordinary people and keep pressure on institutions to investigate anyone implicated by credible evidence, regardless of wealth or political power. The Dallas stop is the beginning of a planned national tour, turning millions of pages that have largely existed as digital government releases into a physical public record that people can examine for themselves.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

LEXINGTON, Ky. (September 10, 2026) – Taking steps toward better health doesn't always have to begin in a doctor's office. Sometimes it can start with a blood pressure check, a conversation about nutrition or a simple screening that identifies a potential health concern before it becomes something more serious. On Saturday, Sept. 19, UK HealthCare and University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension will bring those opportunities — along with plenty of family-friendly activities — together for the fourth annual Be Healthy Bash. The free community health and wellness event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fayette County Extension Office, located off Red Mile Road. More than 50 organizations from across UK, along with community partners and sponsors, will provide health screenings, wellness information and other resources designed to help Kentuckians take steps toward healthier lives. Trudi Matthews, chief of Value-Based Programs, Public Policy and Community Initiatives for UK HealthCare, says events like the Be Healthy Bash are an important part of the university's efforts to reach people before health concerns become more serious. "We are trying to do the right thing to not only care for the people who are in our clinics and our hospitals and other facilities, but we're also working really hard to try and go further upstream to prevent downstream complications," Matthews said. Visitors to the Be Healthy Bash can access services and information including blood pressure checks, vision screenings, hemoglobin A1C testing, immunizations and resources related to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, behavioral health and other health concerns. UK Cooperative Extension and other university experts will also offer resources focused on nutrition and healthy eating, including cooking demonstrations and information designed to help families prepare healthier meals that are affordable and accessible. But Matthews emphasizes that the event is intended to be more than a traditional health fair. Activities include Zumba, inflatables, a petting zoo, a farmers market, a smoothie bike and other opportunities aimed at making health and wellness approachable — and fun — for people of all ages. The event is free, and lunch will be provided to the first 500 attendees. Organizers expect between 500 and 1,000 people to attend this year. On this episode of "Behind the Blue," Matthews discusses the importance of preventive care, the barriers that can make accessing health resources difficult and how the Be Healthy Bash brings expertise from across UK and UK HealthCare together in one place to help Kentuckians connect with screenings, information and follow-up care.

A traveling exhibit in Dallas is putting roughly three million pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related records on public display while deliberately highlighting Epstein's past relationship with President Donald Trump. Organizers have named it the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room,” describing the project as both a public archive and a tribute to survivors. The exhibit includes shelves of documents tied to Epstein's trafficking operation along with a visual timeline tracing Trump and Epstein's social relationship before Trump became president. Coordinator David Garrett said Trump's name appears tens of thousands of times in the released files and acknowledged that using Trump's name in the title was intended to draw attention to the exhibit. Trump has denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and has said he ended their relationship years before Epstein's 2019 arrest.The exhibit opened in Dallas as the Republican National Committee's midterm convention began and as Trump arrived in the city, giving the project an unmistakably political backdrop even though organizers insisted the timing was coincidental and the purpose was survivor-centered rather than partisan. Survivors appearing at the exhibit argued that the document releases still leave major questions unanswered, particularly because they believe powerful people and alleged co-conspirators remain shielded by redactions while survivors themselves have repeatedly had their private information exposed. Organizers said the broader goal is to make the Epstein records accessible to ordinary people and keep pressure on institutions to investigate anyone implicated by credible evidence, regardless of wealth or political power. The Dallas stop is the beginning of a planned national tour, turning millions of pages that have largely existed as digital government releases into a physical public record that people can examine for themselves.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the second portion of the program, Bro. Patrick Lumumba updated us on the struggle for justice in the case of the murder of baby Kohen Wiley, and the strong grassroots organizing taking place around the state of Mississippi sparked by S.C.A.T. in Senatobia, and the upcoming 10th Building Power Conference.

Efforts to improve representation of Native American perspectives in historical and cultural lessons just made considerable progress in two states. A curriculum developed by the Suquamish Tribe over the past decade is now available for Washington States schools. Organizers say it fleshes out the details of past events that previous history lessons portrayed as favorable to colonizing forces and people at the expense of the area's tribes. And in Montana, state officials settled a lawsuit demanding public schools show accountability in how they adhere to constitutionally mandated instruction on the history of the state's tribes. We'll also zoom out to get a broader view of how Native students fit in across the country with the evolving efforts to connect with them amid persistently low test scores and educational attainment.

WOW. Not only did the dethroned Miss North Carolina NOT apologize for using the N-word, or any other offensive previous social media posts, she claimed her right to use the racist slurs because her great grandfather identified as black AND because it’s popular slang used by Beyonce and other artists. In her new lawsuit, which is a hell of a read, Brittany Boltinhouse claims pageant officials “maliciously coordinated to publish a narrative portraying her as a racist, homophobe, transphobe, and intolerable bigot.” She takes zero responsibility for her past actions, and instead is asking for an unidentified sum of money for her “excruciating reputational destruction.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 309: Use the Force Luke (and Leia)A floater comes at you. It's just hanging there in space, waiting. Game point. Everybody on the next court has stopped to watch. You bring the paddle up, you swing, and the ball goes straight into the net.You have to be kidding me.So what happened? The natural response of any athlete is to go to mechanics. I mishit it. Something in my swing broke down. Something in my grip, my footwork, my paddle face.I'm going to suggest to you that more often than not, that miss was not mechanical. It was mental.And I don't mean mental in the way we usually mean it. I'm not talking about focus, or nerves, or staying present. I'm talking about your decisions, or the absence of them, about the shot you just hit.Run through three questions.One. Did you have a clear idea of where you wanted the ball to cross the net? A target. A specific space over the tape. If the answer is no, or I'm not sure, then you did not hit an intentional shot. You hit an unintentional one. You swung the paddle forward, and whatever happened, happened. When the ball lands in the net, it's hard to be upset about it. Where were you sending it?Two. Did you pick a spot with enough cushion? If you're aiming a quarter inch over the net, you have already baked the net into the shot. It sits inside the range of outcomes you selected. Give yourself paddle width over the net, at minimum. You'll still catch the tape once in a while. It will be much rarer.Three. Did you feed that information to your processing unit? Your processing unit is your brain. The decision only helps if it gets delivered before you swing.Miss any one of those, and the error was mental. Do all three, with real margin, and still find the net, then yes, now we can talk about mechanics. Footwork, swing, grip, something. But that's the second place to look, not the first.Here's where the Star Wars part comes in.In the movies, the Force is telekinesis. You move an object with your mind. You don't touch it. You just decide, and it goes.You can't do that on a pickleball court. Not directly. But you can do it indirectly, and that's the whole idea. Your mind makes the decision. Your mind hands that decision to your body. Your body sends the ball. If that connection isn't there, the ball goes wherever it goes.So if you want to fix the shot, start with the mind.—The Riff: GratitudeMost of you interact with this sport as a player. Some of you also interact with it as a student of the game, which is a different thing altogether. There are players who just want to go out and hit the ball, and that's perfectly fine, but they usually aren't listening to this podcast.There are other ways in, too. Fan of the pro game. Organizer. Referee. Tournament volunteer. The person who texts three other players on a Thursday to make sure Friday morning happens. That last one matters more than it gets credit for.I'm thankful for the people here who organize our play. David, Paul, Tyson, Stephanie. If I'm forgetting somebody, forgive me. It's been a long day of content creation. Because of them, I get to play on a Wednesday, or a Friday, or a Saturday.I'm thankful for the facilities, too. Pickle and Pint in Largo, Florida lets me shoot my videos there and cooperates with every project I bring them. None of that happens unless somebody decides to build courts, operate them, and pay for them.And I'm thankful for you. My coaching would be for nothing without players who listen, who watch, who read, who came in early and founded the community. All of it is what lets me do the thing I love doing with this sport. I like playing. I love coaching.Thank you, from me and from the whole team here at Tony Roig Pickleball.Be well,Tony

A conviction in a Hong Kong court in connection with a decades old vigil. AP correspondent Rafael Wober reports.

In this episode we answer emails from Kelly and Jose (Joe).  We discuss simple spreadsheet applications for organizing portfolios, review a planned risk-parity style portfolio, discuss issues with transitioning and international fund choices and proportions, and why you should not fear "high market valuations" because risk-parity portfolios already solve for that exact problem, unlike simplistic large-cap weighted portfolios.  In fact, that is one of the main reasons risk-parity style portfolios make for better retirement portfolios with higher safe withdrawal rates.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page (please mention Risk Parity Radio in the comment section with your donation):  Donate - Father McKenna CenterRisk Parity Chronicles Free Portfolio Tracker and Explanatory Video:  How to use the RPC Capital Efficient Portfolio TrackerAfford Anything Risk Parity Portfolio Blueprint:  Afford Anything frank-vasquez-risk-parity-portfolio-BluePrint.pdf - Google DriveJeremy Grantham on the Long-View Podcast:  Jeremy Grantham ‘Almost Everything Looks More Attractive Than the US Equity Market' - YouTubeF.

Vasquez EconoMe 2025 Presentation.pdf - Google DriveBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Retiring soon and staring at market charts that look “too high” can mess with your head, even if your plan is solid. We hear that anxiety loud and clear in today's mailbag, and we respond with what actually helps: better visibility across accounts, clear asset allocation targets, and a process you can follow when emotions spike.First, we tackle the nuts-and-bolts problem almost every DIY investor hits: holdings scattered across IRAs, 401(k)s, and a taxable brokerage account. We share a simple way to track everything on one page using a Google Sheet that updates prices automatically, and we talk about how AI tools like Gemini NotebookLM can organize raw account statements into a clean spreadsheet, even adding details like unrealized capital gains. The point is not fancy software, it's seeing your true portfolio mix so you can rebalance with confidence and avoid constant tinkering.Then we get into portfolio construction: equity levels that feel conservative vs aggressive in a risk parity style setup, when Treasury bond exposure may be on the high side, and how to think about diversifiers like gold (GLDM) and managed futures (DBMF). We also answer practical questions about VTI and VXUS, whether adding a dedicated growth fund matters, and how to split small cap value between AVUV and AVDV without over-optimizing.Finally, we address the big fear: what happens if you invest or rebalance near all-time highs right before retirement? We walk through why a diversified risk parity style portfolio can reduce peak-valuation risk, how safe withdrawal rates look when you test retirement start dates near major market peaks, and why a written execution plan often beats trying to time the perfect day.

Oliver Larkin spent a decade battling the Democratic Party's campaign machine as an organizer for candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Now, in Florida's Aug. 18 primary, he's a democratic socialist going up against Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) — who once called himself a “twice-appointed, Ron DeSantis Democrat.”  Moskowitz claims Larkin is running against him “solely on my religion.” He has also vastly outraised Larkin, thanks in part to support from AIPAC affiliates and pro-AI super PACs. But just this week, Larkin's campaign reached the milestone of raising $1 million without the help of corporate money. Does this mean the insurgent has a shot?  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with Larkin about the antisemitism allegations, the Democratic Party's corporate money problem, and why he thinks Democrats keep losing in Florida.
