Brian sits down with Alicia Garcia for a powerful conversation about her Second Amendment activism in Colorado. Alicia grew up shooting with her father in southern Colorado, and after he passed away in 2015, her uncle stole the family firearms. The sexist treatment she encountered rebuilding her collection sparked the creation of Boomstick Babe LTD and pushed her into teaching and activism. She walked through her seven-plus years of testifying at the Colorado State Capitol, learning the process alone, and eventually breaking through by speaking from the heart. Alicia is now the plaintiff in Garcia v. Polis, suing the state over its three-day waiting period, represented pro bono by Mountain States Legal Foundation. Her original attorney Barry Arrington left to join the DOJ, where he's now suing Colorado over its magazine and assault weapons bans. She's also a founding director of the Colorado Federal Firearms Licensee Association (CFFLA.org), which built its own AI called Umbrella to counter biased gun violence data, and she's launching Colorado Cares for Safety, a nonprofit focused on free safe storage, de-escalation training, mental health resources, medical training, and scholarships to help lower-income Coloradans navigate the state's new permit-to-purchase scheme. She shared the retaliation she's faced, including an FBI watch list holding up her suppressor purchases and employers refusing to hire her, along with the childhood story that shaped her toughness. Alicia teaches 30 to 50 students a week through Concealed Carry Classes of Denver and the United States Firearms Training Academy, and is one of fewer than 100 USCCA Defensive Pistol Program instructors nationwide. Brian closed by pledging to donate all of August's premium subscriber funds to Alicia's nonprofit efforts.

İade edilen her cam şişe ve plastik şişeye bir lira kampanyası vatandaşın çok ilgisini çekti ama sorun büyük

Sievietes Piebalgas kultūrvēsturē – Lizete Skalbe, Mudīte Austriņa, Angelika Gailīte, Elza Usenko-Kaudzīte, divas Mariannas. Kultūras rondo par viņu dzīvesstāstiem dzirdējām konferencē, kas norisinājās svētkos „Vecpiebalga atver durvis 2026”. Kad runājam par Piebalgu, vispirms iedomājamies par Kārli Skalbi, Reini un Matīsu Kaudzītēm, Antonu Austriņu, Emīlu Dārziņu. Bet jau pēc šī raidījuma, kurā skan pētnieku stāsti par Piebalgas sievietēm, jums noteikti gribēsies uzzināt vēl ko vairāk  par Angeliku Gailītis, Dzidru Kuzmani (Ķencīti), divām Mariannām vai izlasīt kādu Lizetes Skalbes tulkojumu. Gudras un lepnas piebaldzietes. Lai nav tikai fotogrāfijās – māte, māsa vai sieva, bet ir vārds, uzvārds, dzīvesstāsts un jaunu pētījumu takas. Šoreiz pa mazai skicei katrai no viņām. Sākumā tāds neliels pētnieku pingpongs konferencē „Sievietes Piebalgas kultūrtelpā: personības un mantojums”. Piebalgā bija svarīgi ne tikai uzklausīt pētījumus, bet arī uzdot jautājumus – kā padarīt redzamas Latvijas sievietes, kuras sapņojušas lielus sapņus, guvušas labu izglītību arī laikos, kad meitenēm nebija pieņemts skoloties tālāk par mājsaimniecību un sekretārēm. Tās nav tikai šīs izceltās Piebalgas sievietes, bet varbūt tā ir Tava vecvecmāmiņa, kuras foto ir tikai Tavā albumā. Arī šos stāstus joprojām ir iespējams pievienot digitālajam resursam „womage.lv”. Resurss atklāj Latvijas sieviešu dzīvesstāstus un ieguldījumu sabiedrības, kultūras un valsts attīstībā no 19. gadsimta vidus līdz 20. gadsimta vidum. Latvijas Universitātes Literatūras, folkloras un mākslas institūta vadītāja Eva Eglāja atgādina sieviešu izglītības ceļus. Sekojot sievietēm Piebalgas kultūrtelpā, Jaunpiebalgas novadpētniecības muzeja vadītāja Vēsma Johansone iepazīstināja ar spilgtākajām novada sievietēm. Un te kāds vārds, kuru, iespējams, nezinājām, jo visi viņu sauca par „Ķencīti”. Tā ir bibliotekāre Dzidra Kuzmane. Skan arī Ķencīša balss no Latvijas Radio arhīva. Ejam tālāk, lai Lizeti Skalbi ieraudzītu ne tikai kā Kārļa Skalbes sievu, bet arī talantīgu tulkotāju. Stāsta Piebalgas muzeju apvienības „Orisāre” vadītāja Līva Grudule. Lizetei Skalbei šogad –140, bet Mudītei Austriņai, rakstnieka Antona Austriņa meitai, viņa „Kaikašos” būs īpaša ekspozīcija – „Mudītes ceļš”. Šoreiz Antona Austriņa memoriālā muzeja „Kaikaši” vadītāja Laura Šulca stāsta Mudītes Austriņas dzīvesstāstu un par viņas gaitām Ņujorkā.  Raidījumā skan arī Mudītes Austriņas balss, kas ierakstīta 1978. gadā, kad viņa var sēdēt pie viesnīcas loga Rīgā un tikai sapņot par tēva mājām „Kaikašiem”. Bet grāmatizdevējs un novadpētnieks Jānis Polis stāsta par Angeliku Gailīti, kura 1924. gadā bijusi otrā latviešu sieviete, kas ieguvusi vēsturnieces grādu. 1922. gadā viņa nodibina studenšu biedrību „Varavīksne”, bet divus gadus vēlāk to pārorganizē par korporāciju. Gailīte strādāja par skolotāju Franču licejā, kā arī kādu laiku ārlietu ministrijas preses nodaļā. Turpinājumā ļoti emocionāls stāsts par divām Mariannām, kuras redzamas padara „Orisāres” krājumu glabātāja Daiga Šatrovska. Marianna Bergmane un Marianna Zīle-Graubiņa: stāsts par dakteri un viņas meitu – aktrisi, par kurām „Orisārē” glabājas vēstules. Pēc šī emocionālā stāsta par divām Mariannām arī liekam punktu raidījumam. Atvadoties vēl ieejam Vecpiebalgas Vidus kapos pie Reiņa un Matīsa Kaudzītēm, pie Ata Kronvalda un vēl kādas svarīgas Piebalgas rakstnieces Ingunas Baueres.

In this calming episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, mind-body-spirit wellness coach Polis Xinaris offers a simple meditation designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate positive emotions — no matter what challenges your day may bring.Polis begins by inviting listeners to create a quiet, intentional space, perhaps with a favorite object, crystal, or candle as a gentle point of focus. Through a guided breathing practice of slow, steady inhales and extended exhales, he demonstrates how conscious breathing can quiet the mind, relax the body, and bring us fully into the present moment.As the meditation deepens, listeners are encouraged to place both hands over the heart and become aware of its natural rhythm. Polis beautifully illustrates the connection between the heart and the mind, inviting us to imagine a pathway between them. With each breath, our awareness expands, allowing our thoughts, emotions, and inner wisdom to become more fully aligned.From this place of inner connection, he encourages us to embody the qualities we most want to experience—gratitude, love, joy, excitement, and happiness—not as distant goals, but as feelings we can choose to cultivate in the present moment.The meditation concludes by gently returning our attention to the object before us, grounding ourselves in the here and now while carrying these uplifting emotions into the rest of the day. Polis reminds us that peace is not something we have to search for — it can begin with a single breath and a willingness to become present.About Today's GuestPolis Xinaris is a mind-body-spirit wellness coach dedicated to helping people create greater balance, resilience, and inner peace through mindfulness, meditation, and conscious awareness. His work encourages individuals to strengthen the connection between the heart, mind, and body as a foundation for lasting well-being.Learn more about Polis and his work at:www.polisxinaris.comYou can also connect with him through his social media channels.@polisxinaris_mbs on InstagramPolis's Facebook pagePolis on YouTubeThank you for listening—and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

Gov. Jared Polis has been raising some eyebrows lately, and not just for his loud outfit at Colorado's 150th birthday party. The outgoing governor recently joined CPR News' Ryan Warner to discuss some of his latest controversial moves. Producer Olivia Jewell Love is joined by politics contributor Adrian Felix to discuss his comments on socialism and granting clemency to Tina Peters. Then, Colorado continues to see effects of the drought, including emergency fish salvages at reservoirs and even a dwindling supply of some of our beloved seasonal crops. Plus, Denver Water's conservation goals seem like a shot in the dark, and the complaints keep rolling in.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Garlick hosts Dr. Patrick Deneen to discuss his NEW BOOK: The American Odyssey: What an Ancient Story Reveals About Our Divided Souls.Pick up the AMERICAN ODYSSEY out today!https://a.co/d/01rpYuwt23 Observations on the new Christopher Nolan Odyssey Moviehttps://www.patreon.com/greatbooks/posts/23-quick-on-164190324In this special episode of Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Garlick welcomes back renowned Notre Dame political thinker Dr. Patrick Deneen—author of Why Liberalism Failed and Regime Change—to celebrate the release of his brand-new book, The American Odyssey: What an Ancient Story Reveals About Our Divided Souls.Fresh off a 12-week deep dive into Homer's epic, the conversation reveals why Odysseus is the ultimate “proto-American” hero: a restless seeker torn between the hunger for home and the irresistible call of the frontier. Deneen traces this tension from the ancient text through Dante's damning portrayal of Odysseus as a villain of forbidden knowledge, to the Renaissance reinvention of him as the triumphant explorer who metaphorically discovers America itself.What makes this episode unmissable is how Deneen unlocks Aristotle's radical claim that humans are political animals precisely because we are neither beasts nor gods, the “citylessness” that turns Ithaca into a Cyclopean free-for-all, and the startling parallels between Odysseus' refusal of immortality and Huck Finn's decision to “go to hell.” Pairing iconic American stories like The Wizard of Oz, Field of Dreams, and Huckleberry Finn with Homer's timeless episodes, Deneen shows that the Western tradition isn't locked in dusty classics—it's alive in our movies, novels, and national character, especially as America marks its 250th anniversary. Dive in and discover how an ancient tale of departure and return still maps the divided soul of a nation that can't stop exploring… or longing for home.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Dr. Patrick Deneen and the Book01:54 Deneen's Return to Homer and the Odyssey03:59 Odysseus as a Proto-American Figure06:59 The Tension Between Flourishing and Discontent12:07 Odysseus and the Pioneering Spirit of America19:02 The Shift in Odysseus' Image from Medieval to Renaissance27:01 Odysseus as a Figure of Forbidden Knowledge34:08 The Connection Between Odysseus and Columbus40:02 The Polis and Citylessness in Homer and Aristotle48:07 The Return of the Polis and the Homecoming56:06 Huckleberry Finn as an Odyssean American Hero59:45 The Western Tradition in Popular CultureKey words: Ascend Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick, Dr Patrick Deneen, The American Odyssey book, Homer Odyssey, Odysseus proto-American hero, Why Liberalism Failed, Regime Change, Western tradition, Aristotle Politics, man political animal, apolis citylessness, Dante Inferno Odysseus villain, Renaissance explorers, Columbus Amerigo Vespucci, American character, pioneering spirit, frontier homecoming, Calypso immortality, Huckleberry Finn, Field of Dreams, Wizard of Oz, 250th anniversary Declaration of Independence, Notre Dame political science, Homeric studies, great books podcast, Platonic dialogues, American soul, divided souls, political theory, classical literature, Americana, Odyssey episodes.

Jared Polis, 43rd governor of the state of Colorado, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today with guest host Ross Kaminsky to discuss his stand against a strain of socialism that is spreading across the Democratic party.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the origins and evolution of an alliance which transformed the geopolitics of the classical world: the Delian League. Since the start of the 5th Century BCE, city states across Greece had been fighting a series of armed conflicts in the Greco-Persian Wars. After the defeat of a second Persian invasion in 478 BCE, a league of cities across Greece came together and formed a new alliance led by Athens. That alliance is now known as the Delian League, after the island of Delos where it was established. In the following decades, Athens used the Delian League to grow its own wealth and formidable naval power. Cities which tried to leave the alliance found themselves violently put down and their lands confiscated by the Athenians. What had begun as a cooperative alliance sworn to resist the Persian Empire gradually started to seem like it may have created another imperial power: the Athenian Empire.WithLeah Lazar Lecturer in Hellenistic Culture at the University of ManchesterPolly Low Professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of DurhamAndPaul Cartledge AG Leventis Senior Research Fellow of Clare College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenAristophanes (trans.

07/05/26 Fr Polis Khammi - 7th Sunday of the Apostles (Chaldean) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

Francis Ford Coppola conoció a su mujer Eleanor en el rodaje de bajo presupuesto de 'Demencia 13'. Décadas después, en el rodaje de 'Apocalypse Now' en Filipinas, su vida de pareja quedó marcada por cuatro ingredientes de caos: recursos familiares puestos en riesgo, un exceso de medios y dinero, el morbo de la prensa, y extrañas conjuras supersticiosas para atraer la suerte.

06/07/26 Fr Polis Khammi - 3rd Sunday of the Apostles (Chaldean) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in congress since 2009. Now, the U.S. senator is running for governor – and is in the midst of a heated democratic primary against fellow candidate, Attorney General Phil Weiser. Last fall, Bennet sat down with host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about everything from housing affordability and rent algorithms to pushing back against Trump. Just a note: we reached out to Bennet's campaign, but were not able to get an interview ahead of this month's primaries. For more on Bennet, listen to our past episode with local historian Phil Goodstein, who shared more of the the senator's backstory.

05/31/26 Fr Polis Khammi - 2nd Sunday of the Apostles (Chaldean) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

Colorado released former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters on parole June 1 from a women's state correctional facility in Pueblo. She was less than two years into a nearly nine-year sentence for her role in tampering with county voting machines months after the 2020 presidential election, part of an effort to search for election rigging. Peters, who has become a hero among some MAGA voters, wasted no time repeating claims that Democrats are using technology to steal elections. The decision to free Peters early has potentially upended Gov. Jared Polis' final months in office, enraging his political allies and disheartening defenders of the election system.CPR's Bente Birkeland and Tom Hesse dig into this long and complicated tale, from the original plot to access Mesa County's election equipment, to the pressure campaign President Donald Trump launched to free her and Polis' recent clemency decision. They also discuss what her early release could mean for elections and politics in the state, and elsewhere, going forward. Catch up on our latest coverage: Colorado Matters: ‘It brainwashes people:' Head of Colorado's county clerks is concerned Tina Peters' disinformation against elections will continue CPR News: Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters released from prison CPR News: Colorado Democrats censure Gov.

I WATCHED THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR’S DEBATE So you didn’t have too. Oof. It was super boring. My claim that it would be a milquetoast bloodbath was spot on. Kyle and Marshall asked softball after softball, never asking about Phil Weiser being Attorney General while crime and drug overdoses skyrocketed while he sued Trump. Never asked Michael Bennet who voted for bloated budget after budget in DC what his budget would look like in Colorado. What a waste of time, but if you think Polis and the Democratic Legislature were bad, wait until one of these guys gets into office. Bennet said he wants a budget destroying public option. They both said they would sign the labor bills Polis vetoes. They kept talking about affordability and then talking about more regulation in the next breath as if they aren’t inextricably linked. We are so screwed. As much as I hate to do this, you need to watch this debate. If for no other reason than see how bad things are going to get. Longtime journalist Chris Rourke is joining me at 1 to talk about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gov. Jared Polis has been the talk of the town since he commuted the sentence of noted 2020 election denier and former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, and he's handling all the attention the way only he could – trolling the press, sticking to his guns, and finding some time for a very jovial bill-signing on an RTD bus. City Cast Denver's reigning Hater of the Year Adrian Felix and HD5 candidate Sterling Simms join producer Paul Karolyi to get into the weeds of that big RTD reform bill and dissect all Polis' latest antics. Plus, one of the most highly anticipated performers at Denver PrideFest is “breaking her silence” about a legal dispute with one of Denver's favorite clothing brands; Sterling addresses his opponent (aka, green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval); and all our wins and fails of the week.  That's not all! If you're a City Cast Denver Neighbor, you'll also get a bonus segment where we respond to some very fun listener comments and questions about DIA's new plan to divert waylaid travelers into its infamous underground tunnels.  Paul mentioned Pattie Gonia's online merch store, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's comments about sanctuary cities, and Elijah Wood's vaguely Lord of the Rings-themed DJ sets this weekend. Sterling talked about his campaign for HD5 and Colorado's latest PIRG report on clean energy. Adrian discussed a clip of his costume on our Instagram last Halloween, Denver Water's new anonymous reporting form, and the photos of State Sen. Matt Ball and Polis at the RTD bill signing.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

Ralph welcomes back union organizer, Chris Townsend, to discuss the reasons why the AFL-CIO shrinks from effectively fighting for its members and expanding the power of workers. Then, political scientist Lee Drutman lays out a system of proportional representation that would take away the incentive to gerrymander congressional districts. Plus, Ralph gives some quick takes on Thomas Massie's primary loss, fish hopped up on cocaine, and the situations in Lebanon and Ukraine.Chris Townsend has been a union member and labor leader for more than 45 years. He was most recently the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) International Union Organizing Director. Previously, he was an International Representative and Political Action Director for the United Electrical Workers Union (UE), and he has held local positions in both the SEIU and UFCW.[The upcoming AFL-CIO] convention is deliberately kept secret. It's what I describe as sort of a hideout strategy. It enables the leadership to not have to discuss or take positions that for them are difficult, such as: What is the labor movement going to do to confront the rampant lawlessness and criminality of the Trump regime? What is the labor movement going to do to address the rampaging inflation that is eating up living standards? There's no wage policy. There's no bargaining policy of the Federation. What are they going to do to address the ongoing national health care crisis and disaster?... And what are they doing about the crisis of the unorganized?Chris TownsendThe labor movement finds itself (I would submit) with the leadership disinterested in going out and organizing the unorganized. But even for those who do (and there are some), the laws—Taft-Hartley primary among them—provide such a minefield that we have to run through, that our ability to organize on any scale for decades has been stopped. And therefore, we are condemned to a perpetual shrinking size, resources, and whatnot. [And what] might help for folks to figure out how or why this is happening is that the labor movement is systematically being converted from trade union fighting organizations, membership-driven fighting organizations, to harmless not-for-profit organizations. And this is today's administrative layer of trade union leaders that don't see anything wrong with that. But that doesn't help anyone in the shop, in the office, in the workplace. And it doesn't help anyone looking to the labor movement for something better—better treatment, better wages, better benefits, better conditions, better health and safety in the workplace.Chris TownsendLee Drutman is a senior fellow in the Political Reform program at New America, where he focuses on electoral reform, Congress, and democratic health. He writes the newsletter Undercurrent Events and co-hosts the podcast Politics in Question. And he is the author of The Business of America is Lobbying and Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America.The whole issue of gerrymandering is really just an outgrowth of this way that we use single-winner districts with winner-take-all votes. It's also what entrenches the two-party system in the US, which limits the choice of voters. So there's this one weird voting mechanism that we have that most countries have gotten rid of, that is an antiquated voting system, that preserves the two-party system and makes gerrymandering just inevitable—and that's the use of single-member districts. Now, in a proportional system, you take away the districts, and you do this statewide, you can carve up larger states into a few multi-member districts. And then seats get allocated proportionally by party share. That takes away the entire incentive of gerrymandering, it gives voters everywhere meaningful choices, meaningful votes, and it is just a superior system of representing the pluralism and diversity of our pluralistic and diverse society.Lee DrutmanPeople like the idea of proportional representation as basic fairness—that people think that parties should get seats in proportion to the share of votes they get. I did some polling on it a few years ago, and I'm hoping to do a little bit more… But I think that one of the challenges is people don't entirely understand how it works. And so it's a challenge to poll people on a concept that they don't know about. But I think more and more people understand it. And from the polling I've seen, at a principles-based level, people get the idea that proportionality is a form of fairness, and people like fairness.Lee DrutmanKaty O'Donnell is the editorial director at Haymarket Books, a radical, independent, nonprofit book publisher based in Chicago.News 5/22/26* Our first story this week has to do with what appears to be the impending downfall of ultrazionist media personality, Bari Weiss. Weiss, who resigned from the New York Times to found the Free Press and then sold that venture to become “Editor-in-Chief” for CBS News under the Ellison regime, is reportedly facing down the barrel of her role being scaled back substantially. Puck reports “As Paramount closes in on its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery…members of the senior leadership team have had informal discussions about changing Bari's mandate at CBS News—and, eventually, CNN—in ways that would give her less control over the linear product.” This piece cites her missteps stewarding CBS News, including her inability to improve the ratings for Evening News, even failing to secure new anchor Tony Dokoupil a travel visa to China in time for President Trump's recent visit to the People's Republic. While a total dismissal of Weiss seems unlikely in the near future, such a dramatic reduction in her clout would constitute a tremendous, humbling blow.* Moving to state-level news, last week, Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis announced he would be commuting the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was sentenced to nine years in prison for tampering with voting systems to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the Centennial State. Peters will now be eligible for parole June 1st. This move has been widely condemned, most notably by the Colorado Democratic Party which voted by a margin of over 90% to officially censure Polis. In a statement, the CDP wrote, “Reducing [Peters'] sentence now, under pressure from Donald Trump, is not justice…It sends a message to future bad actors that election tampering has consequences, unless you're friends with the president.” According to NBC, the CDP also banned Polis from being able to “participate as an honored guest, speaker or officially recognized representative of the Colorado Democratic Party at party-sponsored functions.”* In more positive state-level news, NPR reports Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a bill banning prediction market sites like Polymarket and Kalshi – which allow consumers to “place…wager[s] on…future outcome[s], like sports, elections, live entertainment” – from operating in the North Star State. This makes Minnesota the first state in the nation to ban the prediction betting platforms. As this story notes, the Trump administration is pursuing legal action on behalf of the platforms, ensuring a legal battle over whether states can act to protect their own consumers from these predatory betting services. Minnesota Rep. Emma Greenman, who introduced the measure, is quoted as saying, “We as a state should decide how best and what regulations we think should attach to gambling, to protect public safety, to protect our kids.” The administration, meanwhile, specifically the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is arguing in court that prediction market industry regulation should be the sole preserve of the federal government.* Looking toward Congress, this week saw a number of high-profile primaries, including in the state of Pennsylvania. Leading up to that primary, the Pennsylvania machine went all out against the congressional campaign of State Representative Chris Rabb. Rabb, who had won the endorsements of everyone from AOC and Rashida Tlaib to Jamie Raskin and Philly DSA to the Philadelphia Inquirer, was targeted by a barrage of anonymous text messages to Philadelphia voters accusing him of “spreading conspiracy theories and holding extremist views,” per the Inquirer. What is remarkable about this smear campaign, however, is that it was organized by Philadelphia's Democratic City Committee and that it violated federal election law by failing to disclose that fact. In another troubling portend of things to come, one of the texts featured an “AI-generated image of Rabb acknowledging his supposed lack of legislative accomplishments in Harrisburg.” Rumors have long circulated that Governor Josh Shapiro wanted Rabb to lose, and worked the backrooms to this end while avoiding public statements.* Yet, despite all of that, Rabb prevailed – winning over his two establishment-backed opponents with around 45% of the vote compared to his opponents, who each won approximately 30% and 24% respectively. The Pennsylvania primaries turned out to be a good night for progressives more generally, with Bob Brooks – a firefighter's union chief and former state rep. who successfully united the Democratic Party behind him, winning the endorsements of both Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator Bernie Sanders. Brooks will face off against freshman Republican Congressman Ryan Mackenzie in November in the R+1 seventh district of Pennsylvania, while Rabb's general election campaign is seen as little more than a formality in the D+40 PA-03.* Yet, if it was a good streak for Democratic progressives, it was a very bad one for Trump critics within the GOP. This week, Thomas Massie lost his primary in Kentucky's fourth congressional district, buckling under the war chest deployed against him in what amounted to the most expensive House primary on record. Massie joked that “My vote was never for sale, so they bought a congressional seat. They found out what it cost.” Massie, perhaps Trump's most formidable intra-party opponent in the House during his second term, worked with Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna on bills ranging from the Epstein Files Transparency Act to War Powers Resolutions related to the administration's actions in Venezuela and Iran. In retaliation, Trump made it clear that he would go to any lengths to ensure Massie would not be reelected. That said, Massie will remain in the House until January and has indicated that he will make that time as painful for Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson as he possibly can. Moreover, during his concession speech, Massie's supporters chanted for him to run for president in 2028, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Whether he is even entertaining that thought is unclear, but if he did run as a right-wing independent candidate, one could easily imagine him capturing a large enough share of the vote to deny certain states to the Republican nominee. Meanwhile, his ally across the aisle, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, said in a statement that Massie “lost because he had the guts to stand up to the Epstein class and against the war…He won voters under 45 by 30 points…Tonight, I say to [his] voters who feel rejected by Trump. We welcome you. Join our coalition to take on a rotten system and stand for the working class over the Epstein class.”* Massie isn't the only Republican targeted in the latest round of Trump purges. Downballot, Trump loyalists have ousted the Indiana Republicans who resisted Trump's pressure to implement mid-decade redistricting, but the real scalps he is claiming are in the Senate. Last weekend, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana lost his primary runoff. Fox reports this makes Cassidy the “first elected Republican senator to lose renomination since Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana in 2012.” Trump wasted no time in dancing on Cassidy's political grave, writing on Truth Social, “His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of a legend, and it's nice to see that his political career is OVER!” His supposed disloyalty, of course, refers to Cassidy's vote to convict Trump in the Senate trial for his second impeachment following January 6th. Former Senator Mitt Romney, who also voted to convict, is quoted in this article saying that Cassidy is a “person of character,” and that his “departure is a loss for the country.” Cassidy, however, is likely soon to be joined by longtime Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn. Cornyn is currently making his last stand against scandal-ridden Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in that runoff election. Trump has long prevaricated regarding whether and whom he would endorse in this race, at times leaning towards either candidate but remaining neutral up until this week, when he formally gave the nod to Paxton, per the Texas Tribune. This move has caused great consternation amongst Senate Republicans and cautious optimism among Democrats, who see Paxton as the weaker opponent to go up against Democratic nominee James Talarico in November – giving Democrats their best chance in years to flip a Senate seat in Texas.* What Cornyn's next move will be is a mystery, especially as he has not yet officially lost the Texas primary. Cassidy, however, appears to have chosen the Massie route of going down fighting. This week, Cassidy flipped his position to become the deciding vote in favor of the Senate War Powers Resolution on Iran – successfully pushing it through along with support from fellow Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul, despite disloyal opposition from Democratic Senator John Fetterman. The measure was then sent back to the House, but fearful it might actually pass – Democratic holdout Jared Golden had vowed to vote yes, and war-weary House Republicans Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick and Tom Barrett were all signaling their support – leadership abruptly canceled the vote, per MSN.* One factor cited in the Republicans' calculus around this latest War Powers push was the absences of Members of Congress. In their view, the absences would have given Democrats the votes they needed to win. Two of these absences have garnered substantial attention in the media: those of Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey and Democratic Congresswoman Frederica Wilson of Florida. The 83-year-old Wilson, who was missing for a month with little public acknowledgment or explanation, has finally resurfaced, saying that she was undergoing a major eye surgery but still plans to seek reelection. In a remarkably tone-deaf comment, a source close to the Congresswoman was quoted in Axios saying “missing votes is not a sign she's sick or retiring…She shows up when she wants to.” Still, at least her absence has been explained and she has now returned to her duties in the House. Congressman Kean's disappearance is more mysterious. As of May 21st, Kean has not “been seen in Washington for more than 75 days,” NOTUS reports. When his absence first began to gain media traction, his Chief of Staff added fuel to the fire with the cryptic remark “there are no cameras where Tom is.” Now it is being reported that his neighbors back in New Jersey haven't seen hide nor hair either. There has been some indication that Kean is dealing with a personal or medical issue, but Speaker Mike Johnson claims to have no knowledge of the particulars. It is not controversial to say that being an American Member of Congress is too important to simply be AWOL for long periods of time, especially without deigning to explain why to one's constituents. Something must be done.* Finally, we turn to Latin America, where former president Evo Morales has leveled claims that the government of his native Bolivia, in coordination with the DEA and the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) is plotting to “detain or kill” him, TeleSUR reports. According to this report, “Morales detailed specific military units allegedly involved, including the Army's Ninth Division in the tropical region under Colonel Franz Andrade Loza, whom he said the government promised to promote to general and appoint as armed forces commander ‘if he finishes off Evo.'” Morales also “cited an F-10 unit under Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Giménez Ortuño,” a former aide to the defense minister in the government of the unelected U.S.-backed regime of Jeanine Áñez. These allegations sound somewhat outlandish, but in a moment when the U.S. has recently kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, worked to undermine the governments of Mexico and Colombia via the Hondurasgate scheme, and just recently moved to indict 94 year old Raúl Castro for his role in an incident three decades ago when the Cuban government downed a civilian aircraft that entered their sovereign airspace, it does not seem so far fetched.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

But he's still got a tight grip on the GOP, he keeps making progress on his plan to subvert elections. And Democrats…well it's unclear what they intend to do about it.In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* Jared Polis…what the fuck?* Are Republicans simply winning the fight for historical memory of January 6?* Would impeaching Polis, or removing Virginia supreme court justices, be purely expressive, or is there value in showing strong intolerance for fascism?Then, if Democrats aren't really looking for procedural toe holds for resisting Republican election theft, are they at least maximizing their electoral advantage ahead of the midterms? The picture is mixed! Will they prevail on Republicans to quash Trump's pro-insurrection slush fund, filled with $1.8 billion in stolen public money? Are they broadening the map as much as possible?

Governor Jared Polis' controversial decision to commute former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters' prison sentence last week is still reverberating through the Democratic Party. More than 400 Democrats signed a letter calling to formally censure the governor, and one congressional candidate even wants him investigated for collusion. Editor-in-chief of The Lever David Sirota is back to chat with host Bree Davies about what Polis' moves mean for democracy and his legacy – and why Representative Lauren Boebert is taking credit for Peters' release. Plus, Denver City Council passed a one-year moratorium on the construction of new data centers, and David has thoughts on why Americans seem to hate these tech centers so much.

The election integrity issue, and the people's evidence is being buried under the Tina Peters case. Attorney malpractice enters the discussion. Parole for the innocent. Gov. Polis the coward, is involved. Trading freedom for precedent. By design, this case will never go to the Supreme Court of the US. The people want paper ballots, but sovereign block chain tokens are their goal. We the people also argued the amicus. Now, it's going back to the bad judge. Tina being on parole does not end the case. Foundations were created to do what you were doing. Going up into bigger orgs never helps. Look for the best efficacy. Us using resources focusing on something that isn't real is what they want. Misdirection is the biggest problem. The staff on Tina's team did most of the work. Now look, blatant plagiarism on the latest book. They are coming for us and they are everywhere. Pay attention to why friction is created and who uses it. This is how an operation runs parallel and also seeks to bring things to a crawl. Nothing is worse than hiding behind an innocent victim. Unless it's massive election fraud that is being hidden.

In our news wrap Friday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is commuting the prison sentence of 2020 election denier Tina Peters, the Justice Department announced the arrest of an Iraqi national accused of plotting at least 18 terror attacks in retaliation for the war in Iran and Africa's leading public health agency says an Ebola outbreak has killed at least 65 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
