Susan Collins stating on camera that she will not make her opponent's unusual relationship a campaign issue, and actor Ryan Reynolds trashing the '80s.First, they discuss audio revealing independent Nebraska U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn admitting he can't argue for abolishing ICE or promoting boys in girls sports because then he would lose. They also discuss the Democrats' obvious & tiresome tactic of pretending "independents" like Osborn aren't their candidates.Next, they fume as police and child protection officials in Virginia convict a mom of five for contrubuting to the delinquency of a minor and place her on a child abuse and neglect registry for allowing her five-year-old son to take a walk alone in their neighborhood. Then, they comment on Maine Sen. Susan Collins telling Politico that she will not bring up the fact that Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson has been in a decades-long relationship and has children with his second cousin.Finally, they refuse to let actor Ryan Reynolds get away with calling the 1980's a "brutal, brutal time." Jim and Greg extol the greatness of the '80s and explain why Reynolds has no idea what he's talking about.Please visit our great sponsors:Icognihttps://incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

Sen. Susan Collins joins POLITICO's Jonathan Martin at Perry's Lobster Shack in coastal Maine for a wide-ranging conversation about her reelection fight in the senate, President Trump's second administration and the future of the Republican Party.   The Maine Republican also discusses Canadian tariffs, immigration enforcement, her independent record and the challenge of appealing to voters in an increasingly nationalized political environment. Collins makes the case for bipartisan governing — and argues that there is still room for a political middle.   Plus, Jonathan and Collins dig into a classic Maine meal of lobster, steamers and clam chowder. 

Big Ag has long dominated Iowa politics, but in this year's governor's race, both parties are challenging the industry's political power in part because of concerns over farm pollution.

Plus, a federal judge has dealt a blow to New York's efforts to force polluters to pay for the effects of climate change. Ellie Borst is an environment reporter at POLITICO.

Weeks after a Republican campaign committee called AI data centers the "anchor hanging around" GOP candidates' necks, Trump weighs in to say that all Americans who oppose data center construction are "backwards and poor" — while he digs in on the trade war with Canada and the hot war with Iran. No wonder a leading Republican senator tells Politico that Trump — and the whole party — are "in serious trouble." Jon, Lovett, and Tommy try to make sense of Trump's choices at home and abroad, process the latest from the courts on mail-in voting and the White House ballroom, discuss Abdul El-Sayed's apology to Michigan's Jewish community, and react to the latest racist provocation from Laura Loomer. Then, Tommy sits down with Aaron Ford, the Democratic nominee for governor in Nevada.Hate listening to ads?

In a world that often seems to be chaotically out of control, in a world of an endless cacophony of competing  voices, in a world that encourages us to do whatever we want, in a world that relentlessly encourages us to pursue our own interests and desires, how can we possibly even begin to "live well"? What does that mean? Is it pursuing personal peace and affluence? The perfect job? The perfect spouse? The right college? The right neighborhood? Our guest this week on the Profile, Dr. Alan Noble of Oklahoma Baptist University, has written a helpful little guide that answers these and other questions about what it means for Christians to live well. This is not a self-help book or a name-it-and-claim-it prosperity treatise, but an invitation to meditate upon and pursue the ancient virtues. Noble does not advocate that we are earning God's favor by pursuing the virtues. Rather, because we are made righteous in Christ, we have the freedom in Christ to pursue patience, wisdom, charity, love, courage, and resoluteness. The pursuit of virtue is not dry religious legalism, but an adventure, accomplished by and through the Holy Spirit. Come and see!From AlanNoble.comAlan Noble is Assistant Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University. Alan launched the group Public Faith with Michael Wear to offer an alternative evangelical political voice. He also joined The AND Campaign as an advisor, were he served for a number of years. Alan has written articles for Christian publications such as Modern Reformation, InTouch Magazine, and Christianity Today and for secular publications like VOX, Buzzfeed, and The Atlantic. He has been interviewed, quoted, or cited in The New York Times, The Washington Post, MTV News, MSNBC, The Guardian, Buzzfeed, Politico, Village Voice, Yahoo!

Republicans appear to have a big problem heading into the midterms: white, married women. New polling shows that Democrats are hurtling towards the midterms with an 18-point advantage. For a little context, that's what happened in the 2018 midterms. Even Republican lawmakers across the country say there's a problem. Republican Representative from Florida Kat Cammack told Politico that women are concerned about affordability, and the GOP isn't delivering on the promise to bring prices down. Holly has some opinions about this polling; she gives her hot takes.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has received praise globally for walking away from trade talks with the United States. Will the world follow his show of defiance?

In an episode from another great Politico show, On the Road, Jonathan Martin sits down with Iowa gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand at the Iowa State Fair to talk politics over a pork tenderloin and a deep-fried Twinkie. Sand, a Democrat running in a state that has shifted sharply to the right, makes the case that Iowa voters are fed up with one-party control, corruption and politics as usual. He discusses why Democrats have lost ground in rural America, whether the party has become too focused on insiders and national politics, and how he would govern with a Republican legislature. Sand also weighs in on the future of the Democratic Party, his unlikely friendships with Republican governors — and his brief career as a model.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on President Trump renaming Lake Ontario as the trade spat with Canada intensifies, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman's pathetic example of an accomplishment, why CIA Director John Ratcliffe secretly went to Moscow, and Politico badly mischaracterizing Jim's reporting.First, they shake their heads as President Trump orders Lake Ontario to be called Lake America in response to the U.S.-Canada trade relationship getting worse. Jim and Greg contend the renaming of  the lake doesn't accomplish anything, and Jim notes that our current trade policies only make life tougher for GOP candidates in the midterms.Next, they get a kick out of socialist Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman bragging about how her office successfully painted a new crosswalk across a badly cracked street just nine months after her constituents asked her to do it. Then, they react to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal that CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently went to Moscow in a secretive way to demand Russia refrain from attacking NATO members and reiterating that NATO members will defend their partners. Jim applauds Trump and Ratcliffe for sending that message but wants to know what intelligence prompted the trip and that message.Finally, Jim vents after Politico blatantly distorts his reporting on a possible AOC presidential bid and makes other amateurish errors.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Jon Herold marks the six month anniversary of the Iran conflict by ribbing early predictions it would wrap up in weeks, then covers the Treasury Department's first named sanctions target under "Operation Economic Outcast," a UAE bank accused of processing 1.8 billion dollars for Iranian shadow banking networks. He digs into a new report on hundreds of millions in tax deductible charity dollars allegedly funneled into Democrat leaning voter registration efforts, and breaks down Trump's surprise announcement letting farmers and ranchers process their own meat to bypass a handful of dominant processors. Jon also debuts a new "Flashback Friday" segment, revisiting a November 2020 Politico article on presidential records that he argues quietly laid groundwork for the later classified documents scandals, plus a personal story about turning down a paid Polymarket promotion over disclosure concerns. Sponsor reads and lively chat banter round out a newsy Friday show.

President Donald Trump is nominating Heidi Overton, a physician who is currently a White House policy adviser, to lead the FDA, which has been without a Senate-confirmed leader since May. Overton has a controversial history and may face some obstacles to winning confirmation, though Republicans have been reluctant to push back too strongly against most of the president's picks. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Shefali Luthra of The 19th, and Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss this story and more.

Governor Greg Abbott wants more state control over local ISD spending, despite ongoing GOP efforts to defund them to death - while Lt. Governor Dan Patrick threatens schools who refuse to remove books he considers "filthy and dirty" with state takeovers. State water plans, based on historical trends instead of proven climate science, are failing cities like Corpus Christi. And rural Texans, who see GOP trampling of local control as a threat to their private property rights, are starting to sour on the Republicans.Texas Tribune on Dan Patrick: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/08/19/texas-dan-patrick-obscene-books-school-libraries-penalties/Houston Chronicle: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/abbott-school-district-audits-22395105.phpTexas Tribune on Corpus Christi: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/08/19/texas-water-planning-drought-corpus-christi/Politico: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/19/how-data-centers-and-power-lines-could-turn-texas-governors-race-blue-01041065This election year, you can support the real free press by investing in pro-democracy, pro-justice, pro-gressive storytelling.

President Donald Trump came into office promising to dismantle Joe Biden's nearly two trillion-dollar climate and clean energy agenda. But a new POLITICO analysis found that major pieces of Biden's energy legacy are still alive, and the upcoming midterms could help determine what happens to them next. POLITICO's Jessie Blaeser breaks down what Trump has successfully rolled back, why some Biden-era funding has survived, and how the uncertainty has changed the energy industry's relationship with Washington. Plus, several independent U.S. oil producers are expected to sign production contracts with Venezuela's state-run oil company in the coming days. Jessie Blaeser is a senior data journalist at POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and executive producer of POLITICO Energy.  Kyra Coffie is a freelance video producer for POLITICO.

The 60-day deadline for a deal between Donald Trump and Iran has passed, and he's in a lather over it. First Trump raged to Fox News of his displeasure with Oman's negotiations with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. “If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the s--t out of them,” he fumed nonsensically. Then, under questioning over foreign policy, he erupted at a female journalist, repeatedly instructing her to “be quiet, be quiet, be quiet” in a vile and abusive tone. Meanwhile, officials leaked their pessimism about the war to Politico, saying things like “we never should have started this war” and revealingly admitting they have no idea what “winning” over Iran even means anymore. Translation: He lost. We talked to former Defense Department official Ariane Tabatabi. She explains the current standoff, why Trump's rage at Oman is so absurd, how his megalomaniacal belief in his own limitless strength and power has backfired, and what might happen if Iran drags this out through the midterms.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Moderates cannot fail, they can only be failed... progressives on the other hand. The boys dive deep into Francesca Hong's loss in the Wisconsin Democratic Gubernatorial Primary to moderate David Crowley. POLITICO thinks the progressive left has hit its ceiling but the situation surrounding Crowley's win is more complicated and offers useful lessons for a progressive movement that is expanding its electoral ambitions. Peggy Flanagan won her Senate Primary in Minnesota in a landslide, but you won't hear much about it from the people trying to punch left. Stay tuned to the end of the show where the boys interview Oliver Larkin! Larkin is a DSA backed candidate for Florida's 25th Congressional district, running against Jared Moskowitz – the AIPAC backed, do nothing, “DeSantis Democrat” incumbent.Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Moderates can never fail(3:45) Intro(9:22) ELECTION WATCH: Wisconsin(40:45) ELECTION WATCH: Minnesota(44:00) Fox News coverage of Abdul El-Sayed(51:55) Interview with Oliver Larkin(1:34:10) EndingSeen on this episode:Election watch: Wisconsin & Minnesota - https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/12/dsa-progressive-francesca-hong-wisconsin-01035101 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/11/us/elections/results-wisconsin-governor-primary.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/11/us/elections/results-minnesota-primary.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/us/politics/crowley-hong-wisconsin-governor-primary-polls.html

While interviewing Donald Trump, a MAGA media personality urged Trump to consider declaring a national emergency to seize control of our elecctions. Trump's response was ugly. “Let me just say that stranger things have happened,” Trump said. “I'll leave it at that.” In other words, Trump wants it understood that declaring a national emergency absolutely is being considered. This comes as Politico reports that Republicans are privately bracing to face Trump's “wrath,” now that the Senate has gone on recess without passing the voter suppression legislation he wants. Republicans fear he'll erupt at them anew over this in coming days. In short, Trump is intensifying his search for ways to rig the midterms or steal them outright. So we talked to Professor Rick Hasen, the author of the excellent Election Law Blog. He explains what's wrong with Trump's “national emergency” threat, how it signals genuine intent to delegitimize our elections, what election-theft options Trump has that really should worry us, and what ordinary voters can do—right now—to prepare for the worst.
