Air Date 7/12/2025 The idea of the founders was to separate and balance the powers of the federal government and that, as Madison wrote, that ambition would counteract ambition. The problem we face now is that the ambition of the Supreme Court is to give as much power as possible to the executive branch because, ironically, they seem to be nostalgic for a king.

In this powerful and deeply unsettling episode, Jonathan and Wendy take listeners on a guided tour of the growing dysfunction at America's top public health agencies. They expose the political entrenchment of ideologues like Vina Prasad and Marty Makary, the purging of veteran FDA scientists like Nicole Verdun, and the accelerating efforts to rubber-stamp drug approvals without oversight. Along the way, they dissect the roles of Jay Bhattacharya, Monica Gandhi, and others who—whether through naïveté or complicity—helped usher in a new era where science is optional and public health is performative. With deeply personal reflections, biting critique, and raw concern, they highlight a chilling truth: the institutions once trusted to safeguard health are now tools of political theater, and those who warned us early are watching their worst fears materialize.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of profound change and potential upheaval in the U.S. federal government becomes increasingly clear. This initiative, spearheaded by conservative organizations and former Trump administration officials, aims to reshape the very fabric of American governance, centralizing executive power in ways that have sparked both fervent support and vehement opposition.At the heart of Project 2025 lies the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to place the entire executive branch under direct presidential control. This vision is championed by figures like Kevin Roberts, who advocates for all federal employees to answer directly to the president, eliminating the independence of critical agencies such as the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission[4].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its plan for the Department of State. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of the project, proposes dismissing all current leadership roles within the department before January 20, 2025. Skinner, who briefly headed the department's office of policy planning during the Trump administration, believes that most State Department employees are too left-wing and should be replaced with ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles that do not require Senate confirmation. When questioned about instances where State Department employees obstructed Trump policies, Skinner admitted she could not name a single example[4].This radical overhaul is part of a broader "Mandate for Leadership," a 900-plus page policy playbook that outlines sweeping reforms across various federal agencies. For instance, Project 2025 suggests consolidating or eliminating programs like those managed by the Economic Development Administration (EDA), which has been instrumental in investing billions of dollars into transformative infrastructure projects. These investments have generated nearly $20 billion in private investment and created over 220,000 jobs. By dismantling such programs, Project 2025 could severely undermine the federal government's ability to invest in communities, potentially devastating working people, small businesses, and the overall health of the economy[5].The project also targets the data-collection capacities of key agencies. By consolidating the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Census Bureau, and Bureau of Labor Statistics, Project 2025 would significantly impair the ability of these agencies to provide independent, partisan-free data. This data is crucial for businesses, researchers, and government organizations, and its manipulation could have far-reaching consequences for the economy. As the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes, their data is intentionally independent from partisan interests and is relied upon by a wide range of stakeholders[5].The implications of these changes are profound. If implemented, Project 2025 would not only centralize power in the White House but also fundamentally alter the relationship between the executive branch and other government agencies. This shift would align with a trend that has been building since the Reagan administration, where the Supreme Court has increasingly supported a stronger unitary executive, often backed by conservative justices and organizations like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation[4].Critics argue that these proposals would have devastating consequences for workers and the broader public. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) warns that Project 2025 could lead to the termination of up to 1 million federal workers, dismantling essential agencies and disrupting critical government services[2].As we approach the potential implementation date of January 20, 2025, the stakes are high. The project's proponents see it as a necessary step to streamline government and align it more closely with conservative ideals. However, opponents view it as a dangerous erosion of checks and balances, threatening the independence of vital agencies and the integrity of data collection.Looking ahead, the next few months will be crucial. As the project's executive action proposals are tracked across 20 federal agencies, the public will gain a clearer picture of what these changes might mean in practice. The Center for Progressive Reform is already monitoring these developments, highlighting the potential devastating consequences for workers and the public[3].In the end, Project 2025 represents a pivotal moment in American governance, one that could redefine the balance of power within the federal government. Whether this initiative succeeds or fails, its impact will be felt for years to come, shaping the trajectory of U.S. policy and the lives of millions of Americans. As we navigate this uncertain landscape, it is imperative to remain vigilant, ensuring that the principles of democracy and the public interest are upheld.

Today on Stinchfield, we shine a spotlight on one of the most dangerous betrayals of American federalism in modern legislation. Hidden deep inside that "Big Beautiful Bill" is a shocking provision that blocks individual states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years. That’s right—ten full years of federal control, handing Big Tech a free pass to experiment, manipulate, and expand unchecked. While politicians boast about the bill being “big” and “beautiful,” they’ve quietly sold out state sovereignty, and likely never even read the fine print. With AI evolving rapidly, some say on a trajectory to become its own autonomous, self-directed species—we’re giving it all the power and none of the accountability. This is tech tyranny, plain and simple. Then, in a political bombshell that has insiders buzzing, Karine Jean-Pierre has officially left the Democratic Party and registered as an Independent. But that’s not all—she’s reportedly preparing to release a scathing tell-all book about her time as White House Press Secretary under Joe Biden. After years of spinning for this administration and lying to the American Public, she’s finally ready to talk, all in the name of money!

Michael Smerconish welcomes political analyst Mark Halperin for a high-octane breakdown of the week's biggest—and most overlooked—stories in U.S. politics. Elon Musk's surprise criticism of Trump's economic bill has reportedly infuriated the President, but is it a distraction from deeper GOP infighting and dysfunction? Halperin peels back the curtain on the real stories happening beneath the headlines—including the surprising influence of Stephen Miller, the chaos inside Trump's HHS and Defense Departments, and why Steve Witkoff's diplomatic role is raising red flags. Original air date 4 June 2025.
In this June 4th episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives deep into Trump's newly posted Truth Social update about a 75-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin. The call touched on escalating attacks in Ukraine and Iran's nuclear ambitions, with Trump notably declining to condemn Putin's threats of retaliation. Jon dissects the implications and offers pointed commentary on how these diplomatic signals may influence global events. The episode then shifts to the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill,” facing backlash over deficit projections and a little-known clause restricting states from regulating AI for the next 10 years. With voices from Musk, Stephen Miller, and even Marjorie Taylor Greene entering the fray, Jon walks through both the bill's MAGA-aligned reforms and the potential federal overreach buried within. Additional segments include an FTC antitrust probe into censorship cartels, updates from the Mike Lindell defamation trial (with Ashe reporting from the ground), and reflections on economic chaos, Bitcoin's mainstream arrival, and the optics war between Trump and the establishment. As always, Jon keeps it candid, irreverent, and razor-sharp.

In today's all-new episode, our hosts Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa discuss two Supreme Court-related developments: an oral argument about universal injunctions in a birthright citizenship case and a ruling on a habeas corpus matter involving detainees. The hosts analyze the justices' concerns about due process, the government's potential manipulation of judicial procedures, and the broader implications for constitutional rights. Before diving in, remember to subscribe to our Patreon for exclusive insights and behind-the-scenes content: patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the Supreme Court's latest oral arguments on universal injunctions—a case that directly challenges the Trump administration's attempts to abolish birthright citizenship. The justices grapple with whether government actions could bypass judicial processes, sparking critical questions about constitutional safeguards. Renato and Asha break down the legal complexity and discuss how this ruling could reshape the framework for executive power. Renato and Asha dissect the risks posed by universal injunctions—a tool that courts use to block policies nationwide. Renato highlights the justices' concerns that a future Trump 2.0 administration could outright ignore legal precedents, making injunctions ineffective. Asha expands on the implications, detailing how these legal maneuvers could allow an administration to selectively evade court enforcement, eroding judicial authority. In the second half of the episode, the hosts take on another major legal blow to Trump: the Supreme Court's decision rejecting his administration's handling of habeas petitions for detainees. The ruling reflects the court's distrust of Trump-era legal tactics and its commitment to upholding due process and detainees' rights. Renato and Asha unpack how the court's scrutiny of fast-tracked deportations reinforces the necessity of judicial oversight in protecting fundamental freedoms. As they dive deeper, Renato and Asha lay out the bigger picture—how these cases signal an ongoing battle against executive overreach. They break down the Supreme Court's role in maintaining checks and balances, why judicial integrity is paramount, and the legal roadblocks that could stand in the way of further power grabs. The episode wraps up with a hard-hitting conversation on the implications for Trump's policy agenda. Renato and Asha warn of the dangers of ignoring due process, calling for vigilance and judicial oversight to prevent unchecked government power. As always, they underscore the Supreme Court's critical function in defending democracy against authoritarian-style rule. Join Renato and Asha in this must-listen episode as they navigate these legal battles, offering a compelling analysis of the intersection between law, politics, and power. Their expert breakdown promises to shed light on the real consequences of these Supreme Court decisions—and what they mean for the future of American democracy. Tune in now!

The focus on nationwide injunctions in the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court shows that what is at stake is less about whether people born in the U.S. are citizens and more about whether a circuit court can put a hold on a new rule for the entire country, or whether Donald Trump can assert his will in different regions of the U.S. if he finds friendly judges willing to indulge him, even if he is blocked in other parts of the country. Jen Psaki reports.
On today's show, Kimberly continues to make us smart about the GOP's massive tax bill. This time, we're digging into a small (but important) detail buried in the bill that could have enormous consequences for the regulation of artificial intelligence: a clause that would block states from enforcing AI laws for ten years.

On today's show, Kimberly continues to make us smart about the GOP's massive tax bill.

Send us a textIn this thought-provoking episode of the Near Memo podcast, SEO veteran Cindy Krum joins Greg Sterling and Mike Blumenthal to unpack how Google's evolving use of AI, including MUM (Multitask Unified Model), is reshaping the search landscape. Krum explains how Google is moving from keyword- and entity-based indexing to modeling “journeys” that reflect a user's intent — aligning with Google's long-abandoned concept of “micro-moments” like “I want to know,” “I want to go,” “I want to do,” and “I want to buy.” These journeys are increasingly being monetized across different verticals such as YouTube, Merchant Center, and local results, as Google balances expensive AI integration with ad revenue optimization.The trio also explores the convergence of Google Discover, AI Overviews, and personalized browsing experiences — warning that this personalization could result in unprecedented data tracking and loss of consumer privacy. Krum emphasizes that marketers and SEOs must adapt quickly: diversify traffic sources, optimize across social and non-Google platforms, and consider how Google's motivations (data consolidation and monetization) are shaping an experience that prioritizes corporate interests over user needs. The message is clear — traditional SEO tactics won't survive the AI-driven tide unless they evolve dramatically.TakeawaysCindy Krum discusses the MUM model and its impact on SEO.Google's monetization strategies are evolving with AI integration.Personalization in search is becoming increasingly important.Marketers need to optimize for user intent and MUM journeys.Informational queries represent a significant portion of search traffic.Diversifying traffic sources is crucial for digital marketers.Branding and social media presence are essential for visibility.The search landscape is changing rapidly due to AI advancements.Marketers should be proactive in adapting to these changes.Understanding user journeys will be key to future SEO strategies.Subscribe to our newsletters and other content at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

In today's riveting episode of It's Complicated, join our insightful host Renato Mariotti as he engages in a deep conversation with Mimi Rocah, a former federal prosecutor and district attorney. Two major developments are on the slate: a federal court ruling that restricts the Trump administration's sweeping deportation powers and the brewing contention in the Senate over Ed Martin's nomination as U.S. Attorney. Before diving in, remember to subscribe to our Patreon for exclusive insights and behind-the-scenes content: patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia. Renato jumps in by breaking down a fresh federal court ruling that's clipping the wings of Trump's aggressive immigration policies. Amid all the chaos, this decision sends a clear message: the judiciary isn't on board with unchecked executive overreach. Mimi explains how this ruling isn't just about immigration—it's about reestablishing the vital checks and balances that keep our government from running amok. Next, Renato and Mimi tackle the Senate's growing unease over Ed Martin's nomination for U.S. Attorney. With his history of incendiary remarks, Martin's nomination has senators questioning whether he's fit to oversee justice without turning it into a partisan circus. Mimi warns that installing partisan hacks in critical roles endangers our entire justice system—a stark reminder that appointments should be driven by integrity, not political loyalty. Wrapping up, they widen the lens to expose how Trump's administration continuously pushes the limits of its authority. Renato and Mimi call on Congress to rein in executive excess and stress that every branch of government has a responsibility to stand guard over our democratic values. In times like these, we simply can't afford to sit back. Don't miss this episode as Renato and Mimi cut through the noise and break down these pressing legal and political issues. Their conversation reminds us that a balanced government—a government that serves the people over party—is our strongest defense.

In this episode, host Heather Shea is joined by Dr. Brendan Cantwell and Dr. Demetri Morgan to break down a wave of federal actions reshaping higher education. From the NIH's ultimatum on DEI to a new executive order on accreditation—and threats to university tax-exempt status—they explore what these moves mean for institutional governance, research integrity, and academic freedom.
Michael is joined by political analyst Mark Halperin for a whirlwind tour of the most pressing stories shaping Washington. From Donald Trump's surprise pivot on China and Jerome Powell that sent the markets into a tailspin, to RFK Jr.'s headline-grabbing move to phase out artificial food dyes, and JD Vance's meteoric rise as perhaps the most influential VP in modern history—nothing is off limits. Is Trump acting like a day-trader-in-chief? Why is the MAGA movement now pushing health reform? And has Pete Hegseth finally pushed things too far? Hear deep insights, sharp commentary, and a few laughs as Smerconish and Halperin break down the chaos with clarity. Original air date 23 April 2025.
More than 150 colleges and universities — including Harvard, Princeton, American University, and MIT — are drawing a red line. In a powerful joint statement, they're calling out the Trump administration for what they describe as unprecedented political interference in higher education. The backlash comes just after Harvard sued the administration for freezing over $3 billion in federal research grants. At the center of the clash are demands to gut diversity policies and audit schools for so-called viewpoint diversity. Trump's camp says it's cracking down on antisemitism, but universities say this is a thin cover for silencing dissent, cutting international student access, and politicizing science and speech. The warning from the nation's top schools: Undermining free thought in classrooms today could cost democracy tomorrow. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump's presidency continues to challenge all conventional understanding of executive authority. His administration's extensive use of executive orders has reshaped the political landscape, testing established laws, ethical boundaries, and institutional norms.Among those raising alarms is Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, who has consistently questioned what happens when governmental powers are directed against the very citizens they were designed to protect.On this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing, she discusses these concerns, including the administration's immigration enforcement tactics targeting international students — among them, one of her own constituents. Rümeysa Öztürk, a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University who has a valid student visa, was abducted off the streets by ICE agents.“ She was kidnapped in broad daylight. There is no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing. The only — the only — thing that she did was co-author an op-ed centering the humanity and the dignity of the Palestinian people and because that is a dissenting opinion of the hostile Trump administration, she finds herself a political prisoner,” says Pressley.“So I need people to understand that this could be anyone when constitutional rights are being violated, when due process is being violated. It could be you tomorrow for reading a banned book. It could be you tomorrow for suffering a miscarriage. It could be you tomorrow for practicing diversity, equity, and inclusion,” she warns.In a broad ranging conversation with host Jessica Washington, she also raises fundamental questions about executive authority and democratic safeguards.“It was all laid out in Project 2025, which was not a blueprint — it was a playbook. And they're making good on that playbook. And I think people didn't take it seriously,” Pressley points out. “They recognized that a lot of what he was laying out in that playbook was unlawful — was unconstitutional. So they said, how could it ever happen? And yet, you know, here we find ourselves.”And despite widespread criticism and anger about the Democratic Party's response — or lack thereof — she believes her party is stepping up. “Even though I believe that we are — as a party — being exhaustive, being strategic, [we] have found our footing. I believe we are being more effective as an opposition party in resistance to this hostile administration,” Pressley says. But she acknowledges the Democrats can do more. “ I do believe that we have a sound strategy of litigation, legislation, agitation, mobilization, and I think we are finding our footing. We have to match their energy. They're flooding the zone. We have to do the same thing.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

John is joined by Marc Elias, the attorney whom Donaled Trump has cast as his bete noire in the legal profession, to discuss the president's war on the judiciary, the bar, and the rule of law itself. Elias explains why the executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections” is designed to do just the opposite, making it the most dangerous of Trump's myriad power grabs; why we aren't yet in a constitutional crisis but soon could be; and why Trump's threats have caused so many prestigious law firms to bend the knee. Marc also tells John why he hasn't done the same despite being plenty worried by Trump's singling him out as a “very bad" person and a “thug".

It's Wednesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Robert Weissman, co-president of the non-profit advocacy organization Public Citizen, which has filed 8 lawsuits against the Trump administration and says they have more coming. Later, Rohan Grey, Assistant Professor of Law at Willamette University, discusses his latest research on the Trump administration's attempt to seize direct political control over the core payments software of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which handles spending for most of the federal government, to block funds to politically disfavored agencies and programs. First, they run through updates on the victory by liberal Susan Crawford in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Democrats' growing margins in deep-red regions, Trump's tariff fears, the GOP's anger at proxy voting for new parents, Mike Waltz Gmail whoopsie, Senator Cory Booker's marathon filibuster, the closure of free measles vaccine clinics in Texas amid a breakout, Ed Martin nomination for D.C. U.S. Attorney, Tesla's tanking earnings, and the Senate GOP's budget reconciliation, before expanding on the beautiful revelations around the toxicity of Elon Musk in US politics as seen in the incredible leftward swing amid his intense campaigning for conservative Brad Schimel Wisconsin. Robert Weissman then joins, first previewing the typical work of Public Citizen including advocacy, litigation, and organizing on behalf of the public against corporations, touching on everything from trade and consumer financial protection to drug pricing and campaign finance laws. Weissman then unpacks Public Citizens tactical shift under Trump 2.0, walking through the various legal battles they have taken on against Trump's attempt to dismantle the federal U.S. government through executive reform, with a particular focus on their case to save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – an agency birthed from the 2008 Financial Crisis' overwhelming impact on consumers – also touching on their effort to protect USAID and the Department of Education. Robert, Sam, and Emma expand on these lawsuits' ultimate goal of preventing the full-scale deletion of these agencies, understanding that, even with success, the Trump Administration will constantly be searching for (and finding) new ways to obstruct any accountability or pushback from this project, and focusing instead on ensuring the potential of rebuilding under future leadership, before wrapping up by looking to the upcoming fights over Trump's insistence on using his executive power to fire any and everybody, and the role of “national emergencies” in bolstering executive power. Rohan Grey then joins, diving right into Elon Musk's outrageous (and obviously untrustworthy) agenda of digitizing America's fiscal regime, stepping back to walk through the process by which US fiscal policy operates, with said policy – be it spending, taxation, issuing debt, etc – originating in Congressional legislation, moving through the Office of Management and Budget under the President to manage the allocated spending over the allotted time, to the Treasury's instructions with the Federal Reserve as the ultimate entity in charge of the dollars. After expanding on the utter absurdity of Elon's plan – outside of if, perhaps, you wanted to completely rid the system of accountability or pushback – Rohan, Sam, and Emma parse through DOGE's opaque takeover of the Bureau of Financial Services amid their project to indiscriminately cut funds, including Elon setting up an obvious assault on Social Security, wrapping up by expanding on what a botched system shift for the federal payment systems would look like, and assessing a more realistic idea for bringing our systems into the modern era. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma listen to Wisconsin Justice Susan Crawford celebrate winning an election against tens of millions of Elon Musk's money, unpack Elon's very-related copium, and watch Fox try to justify the extensive negative impact Trump's tariffs will have on the American people. The MR Crew also touches on Cory Booker's marathon filibuster (and the tactics underneath it), admires Lauren Boebert's self-assured idiocy, and dissects the blatant inhumanity on display with the Trump Administration's justification for their indiscriminate renditioning of migrants – legal or not – to a Salvadoran gulag, plus, your IMs!
