In a ruling that will probably go down as one of the most important cases in a century, the Supreme Court just gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

The former FBI director is facing ten years in prison for a photo of seashells on a beach. The president posted an AI-generated photo of himself holding an assault rifle. One of them was indicted this week. Guess which one.Robin's is back after a week and a half off, and the country didn't hold it together. This episode covers everything: the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting and the third assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the James Comey 8647 seashell indictment and the staggering hypocrisy behind it, the Iran war escalation with oil at $118 a barrel and gas at $4.12, Pete Hegseth's disastrous congressional testimony, King Charles III's state visit to a country visibly falling apart, Trump's threat to pull troops from Germany, the Jimmy Kimmel "expectant widow" controversy and the FCC's move against ABC, and the acting attorney general who used to be Trump's personal defense lawyer now running political prosecutions out of the DOJ.Robin pulls the receipts on every Republican who used "86" with zero consequences: Jack Posobiec tweeting "86 46," Matt Gaetz bragging about "86-ing" party leadership, Paul Gosar's anime assassination video, Trump's hogtied Biden truck video, and the thousands of "8646" products still for sale on Amazon, while James Comey faces a federal indictment for arranging shells on a beach.This is what selective prosecution looks like. This is what a weaponized justice system looks like.

When the Trump administration launched its controversial mid-decade redistricting effort earlier this year, it was met not only with howls of outrage from Democrats but also with steadfast opposition from Republicans in Indiana.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Louisiana must redraw its congressional map, finding that one of the state's majority-black districts was unconstitutionally gerrymandered based on race. The decision weakens — but does not strike down — Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), which prohibits voting practices that discriminate on the basis of race or color. In the wake of the decision, several states could move to redraw their congressional maps based on the Court's guidance, an effort that is expected to benefit Republicans.

Democrats and Republicans on one of the House committees that oversees the Medicare program had strong words about high hospital pricing at a hearing on Capitol Hill this week, but it remains unclear whether the reality will match their rhetoric when it comes to reining in those prices. Meanwhile, some good health policy news: A study found the 988 suicide prevention hotline reduced suicides significantly in its first two years of operation. Shefali Luthra of The 19th, Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post, and Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists share their favorite health policy stories of the week that they think you should read, too. Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “While Advising Kennedy, Top Aide Had More Than $25 Million Stake in Wellness Company,” by Christina Jewett and Benjamin Mueller.  Joanne Kenen: ProPublica's “Unfounded Health Concerns Are Powering a Solar Backlash,” by Anna Clark.  Rachel Roubein: KFF Health News' “Big Companies Position Themselves for Payday from $50B Federal Rural Health Fund,” by Sarah Jane Tribble.  Shefali Luthra: The Atlantic and KFF Health News' “A ‘Barbaric' Problem in American Hospitals Is Only Getting Bigger,” by Elisabeth Rosenthal.

Josh is joined by Shannon Bray, a Libertarian candidate for Senate in North Carolina and author of Liberty Unleashed, for a wide-ranging conversation about taxes, Social Security, education, war, and why so many voters feel politically homeless. Shannon explains how he went from government work and frustration with both major parties to running for office as a Libertarian. The conversation digs into: Why a consumption tax gives people more control than hidden taxes Why Social Security feels like a broken contract How schools fail to teach basic financial literacy Why Shannon's military background changed the way he thinks about war They also talk about the two-party illusion, independents walking away from Republicans and Democrats, and how libertarians can start conversations without watering down the message.

When President Trump sent troops into Iran, he did so without a green light from Congress. Now he faces a deadline on May 1 to either end the war in Iran or secure official approval from Congress. That timeline is laid out under the War Powers Resolution, a law that allows presidents to start wars without congressional approval. Democrats in Congress have tried and failed to pass multiple resolutions to halt the war. Meanwhile, the war is losing support from Republican lawmakers, who have not proposed a vote to approve it. We talk about the war in Iran, lawmakers' efforts to stop it so far, and whether the Trump administration is feeling any pressure from the 60-day deadline. Guests: Harold Hongju Koh, professor of international law, Yale Law School; legal advisor to the U.S. Department of State from 2009-2013 Mark DeSaulnier, U.S. Congressman representing California's 10th district (the East Bay) Robert Jimison, congressional reporter covering foreign policy, defense and national security issues, The New York Times Elisa Ewers, senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations Learn more about your ad choices.

[00:30] Humility vs. Vanity (44 minutes) President Donald Trump and other American leaders are blinded by pride and vanity in many of their foreign and domestic policy decisions. George Washington's first inaugural address teaches a profound lesson about humility. [44:30] The Kingdom's Court (11 minutes) The Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional redistricting map, ending gerrymandering to favor racial minorities. Leftist media outlets are calling this ruling “voter suppression,” though gerrymandered district lines have been suppressing Republican votes for years.

Finally, and you could tell Justice Thomas has been waiting for this moment for 30 years, the Supreme Court ruled that gerrymandering districts just for black people is racist. Republicans could gain 12 seats from this decision, but more importantly, it leads us away from being a racist society.

Iran war has cost $25 billion to date, defense official says, as Hegseth faces questions about war strategy. The round that struck a U.S. Secret Service officer during Saturday's shooting outside the ballroom where the White House Correspondents' Dinner was taking place was not friendly fire, multiple senior law enforcement officials told CBS News Wednesday.

Are Republicans secretly fueling the border crisis while campaigning against it? Despite the campaign rhetoric, the GOP establishment has not changed one iota on illegal immigration. I expose the massive gulf between conservative voters and the RINO lawmakers selling out their states to corporate agriculture and cheap labor cartels. Special guest Idaho state Sen. Glenneda Zuiderveld (R) joins the show to share the shocking truth about what happens when you try to enforce the law in a deep-red state. She details how she was stripped of a committee assignment and how her family's business faced aggressive retaliation from GOP special interests simply for standing against illegal immigration.  In fact, red-state Republicans (outside of the Freedom Caucus) are this subversive on almost every other issue as well.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, economist Paul Krugman lays out an expansive case that Donald Trump holds a losing hand in the war with Iran. Krugman argues that Trump can't seem to admit that the Strait of Hormuz problem has cornered him. Krugman also details why the situation could get worse, if Iran continues holding out and constraints on oil supply drive the global economy into recession. As Krugman puts it, this will keep getting uglier for Trump until he “swallows his pride” and accepts that he doesn't hold the cards. This builds on the piece Krugman posted on his Substack arguing that time is on Iran's side. Gas prices just hit a new high, and Republicans quietly fear their midterm prospects are darkening due to what Trump has unleashed. Krugman takes us through these dynamics, notes that Trump is obsessing over his ballroom in search of a win, and explains why this all could tailspin further for the GOP.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump had to be evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, after a “gunman” “attempted” to breach the security perimeter around the dinner hall at the Washington Hilton. But unlike last year, when the entire GOP responded to the killing of Charlie Kirk by attempting a broad civil-society crackdown, this time Republicans have a somewhat different focus: Helping Trump get his palace ballroom built on White House grounds?In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* Are false flag conspiracy theories coming back into vogue on the left because it's taboo to point out that Trump makes politics angrier and more violent?* Is it more that everyone knows Trump's character is so poor that he would fake an attempt on his life to gain political advantage?* Are lesser forms of radicalism justified in response to his affronts, or is it all counterproductive?Then, what the f&ck has any of this got to do with the White House ballroom? Will Republicans bully Democrats into authorizing its construction? Will Republicans bite the bullet and finance the ballroom through budget reconciliation? Can we trust any Democratic presidential candidate who won't commit to demolishing the ballroom? And what was the White House Correspondents' Association thinking by extending an invitation to a president who wants to destroy journalism as a vocation?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian argues politics in America are unusually violent not just because of Trump's words, but because he governs like a tyrant, and oppression swells the ranks of indivdiuals who choose to take matters into their own hands. * Matt argues that lowering prices is a better approach to public anger than (e.g.) “microlooting.”* A Manhattan Institute survey found that 46 percent of Democrats believe “the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in July 2024 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him.”

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, former Vice President Kamala Harris' support for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary surged to 50 percent in a new survey from the Center for American Political Studies and the Harris Poll, strengthening her position as the early front-runner if she chooses to run. Chatter about the 2028 election is underway as potential candidates test their message, even though the first votes will not be cast in the primaries until early 2028. The poll signals that Harris would have an early lead for the Democratic nomination. Also the UAE pulls out of OPEC, domestic violence reaches it's highest level in years and between the likes of Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley, the Republican party gains high profile intellectuals.

A 72-year-old man in Wisconsin just did something the state never expected… He tested their election system. Not with hacking tools. Not with insider access. Just a name… and a date of birth. That’s all it took for Harry Wait to request absentee ballots belonging to some of the most powerful officials in Wisconsin, including the Democrat Mayor of Racine and the Republican Speaker of the State Assembly. Let that sink in. Ballots… sent out… based on publicly available information. And when those ballots arrived? He didn’t vote them. He didn’t hide them. He turned them over to authorities. He exposed what he says is a massive vulnerability inside Wisconsin’s “My Vote” system, one that, he proved, could be exploited by anyone with basic information. But instead of being thanked… Instead of the system being fixed… Harry Wait was charged. Prosecuted. Convicted. Now he’s facing up to 7 years in prison. This is what Democrats do, they punish the good guys, especially if they are Republicans exposing Democrat inspired election fraud. Today, I walk you through exactly what Harry Wait did and what this means for election integrity going forward.

Kurtz and Lahren break down the stories dominating the headlines in 2026, from the conflict with Iran to the scandals rocking the sports world.  "I think if you're going to see Republicans stay home in the midterms, it's more so gonna be because they didn't see enough movement on those issues that they voted on." — Tomi Lahren on the political impact of congressional GOP performance.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats, their media, and podcast surrogates will quickly resume attacks despite the third assassination attempt on President Trump. Their rhetoric reveals Marxist and Islamist ideologies, falsely labeling Trump Hitler and a dictator. The Democrat Party embodies Marxism and jihadist influences, unlike Republicans who purge their extremists. The entire Democrat ecosystem has made it their priority to destroy Trump. Also, Judge Richard Leon is an anti-Trumper RINO.  He continues to block the building of the ballroom on the White House grounds for the most frivolous non-legal reasons, where the best security would be in place.   When these activist judges rule as they do, substituting their personal views for that of the president, they imperil the Constitution and create real life dangers. Later, Sean Hannity calls in and breaks down what happened with Trump in the minutes after the shooting at the White House correspondent's dinner. Trump, surrounded by top cabinet officials and with Hannity on the phone, was eager to return outside to the event to project strength and resilience, declaring they would not be stopped or cower but decided not to because of uncertainty about a lone wolf versus a broader threat and the time required for a full area sweep and clear. Hannity stressed that such failures must end to ensure the safety of all elected officials, regardless of party. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Republicans are blaming Democratic rhetoric for inciting the alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. To that end, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashed tirades at journalists that were soaked in MAGA derangement. One cultishly lionized Trump as a “fearless president” for standing up to “bullets” while absurdly accusing the media and Democrats of “11 years” of “hateful” and “violent” speech about Trump. The other tore into Democrats and the media for daring to point out that Trump poses an “existential threat to democracy,” as if that's not rooted in his actual conduct, which it is. Yet if anything, the media has not sufficiently conveyed the threat Trump poses. We talked about this disconnect with Matt Gertz of Media Matters, who's been writing well about the absurdity of inviting Trump to the press dinner.  We discuss the danger Trump poses for press freedom, why the media struggles to report on the threat despite being a target, why time is running out to get this right, and how Democrats should proceed now.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to The View co-host Ana Navarro hoping Republicans were shaken enough by Saturday's attempted shooting to pass gun control legislation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiling a new congressional map that could flip multiple House seats towards the GOP, the growing feud between Jimmy Kimmel and Melania Trump, and Rep. Ilhan Omar clearly needing a history lesson.First, they describe Navarro's comments as not only tasteless but remarkably ignorant. They explain why her reaction echoed other unconscionable responses from the left in recent years and argue that additional gun control laws would have done nothing to stop the would-be shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.Next, they break down the new Florida congressional map released by Gov. DeSantis. Legal challenges are almost certain. Jim and Greg discuss the endless redistricting wars, why they are not surprised by this move, and how a critical Supreme Court decision on congressional districts expected in the coming weeks plays into all of this.Then they dive into the controversy over Jimmy Kimmel's White House Correspondents' Dinner joke that Melania Trump was “glowing like an expectant widow.” Mrs. Trump wants Kimmel fired, while Kimmel insists it was harmless comedy. Jim and Greg weigh in.Finally, they have some fun at the expense of Minnesota Rep.

Florida's new congressional map is out, and the more I look at it, the more it feels like Republicans are trying to push right up against the edge of what is politically and legally possible. The goal is obvious: take a delegation that used to split closer to 20 to 8 and force it into a 24 to 4 map. The way they get there is not subtle. It is classic packing and cracking, cramming Democrats into a handful of ultra blue districts while shaving just enough of that vote into surrounding areas to flip them red. On paper, it works. In practice, it might be a little too clever for its own good.The Orlando and Tampa changes are where the knife really goes in. Seats that were at least competitive or lightly Democratic get completely reengineered into solid Republican territory, often by double digit swings. That is not a tweak, that is a transformation. But the tradeoff is that you are stretching your margins thinner everywhere else. You are counting on your voters to show up consistently in districts that are no longer blowouts, and that is where the risk creeps in. If turnout slips even a little, some of these engineered wins start to look a lot shakier.South Florida is the most interesting piece, because it is where the assumptions behind the map really get tested. The strategy is to break up a dense cluster of Democratic voters and isolate them into just a few seats, while turning longtime strongholds into competitive races. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's district is the clearest example, going from safely blue to something that could genuinely flip. But that only works if the political coalitions in South Florida behave the way Republicans think they will.And that is a big if. The theory is that Latino voters in South Florida, especially Cuban, Venezuelan, and Colombian communities, will continue trending Republican, especially given recent foreign policy developments that resonate directly with those groups. If that holds, then this map could deliver exactly what it is designed to do. But if there is even a modest snapback, or if Democratic enthusiasm spikes the way it sometimes does in midterms without Trump on the ballot, then those same districts could turn into real problems.Because the energy question cuts both ways. Republicans may like how the map looks, but Democrats in Florida are fired up in a way that is hard to ignore. These are high turnout voters, especially older ones, and they do not need much motivation to show up. When you combine that with districts that have been made more competitive by design, you end up with a map that is not just aggressive, but potentially volatile.On top of all of that is the legal question, which is not trivial. Florida technically has rules against partisan gerrymandering, and while the state can argue that this is just a neutral redraw, that argument is going to get tested. If the courts decide this crosses the line, then the entire map could get thrown into uncertainty at the worst possible time for Republicans.So I keep coming back to the same thought. This is a high risk, high reward play. If everything breaks right, Republicans net multiple seats and strengthen their position heading into the midterms. But if even a few assumptions go wrong, turnout, demographics, or the courts, then what looks like a masterstroke could end up being a self inflicted problem.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:16 - Florida's Redistricted Map00:21:43 - Update00:22:51 - House Republicans00:26:05 - Texas Senate Race00:29:31 - Iran00:35:17 - Kirk Bado on His Correspondents' Dinner Experience01:23:16 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-up This is a public episode.

King Charles of the UK is scheduled to address Congress today before traveling to New York City to meet Mayor Mamdani on Wednesday. Mark discusses whether Jimmy Kimmel could be taken off the air due to his jokes about Melania and Donald Trump's lives. He also raises concerns about individuals threatening President Trump, suggesting that they should be prosecuted. Democrats continue their heated rhetoric against the President. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Mark and Ed discuss similarities between the recent assassination attempt on President Trump and the attempt on Ronald Reagan. Ed notes that Trump needs to focus on the nation's key issues to win voters in November and believes the likelihood of younger voters switching from Democrat to Republican is low. In addition, he adds that if gas prices decrease before the midterms, Republicans could have a chance to win both the House and Senate. Mark also questions whether it is possible to abandon the script and speak freely on air as the President.
