España firmó un Campeonato de Europa Off‑Road 2026 sobresaliente, consolidándose como una de las grandes potencias del continente. El oro histórico de Jan Torrella y la plata de María La Chica marcaron el punto culminante de un campeonato en el que también brillaron el bronce sub‑20 de Sofía Rubio y una actuación coral que permitió sumar nueve medallas en total, tres individuales y seis por equipos. El equipo femenino absoluto rozó el oro en una batalla decidida por detalles, llevándose una plata que sabe a triunfo, mientras que el conjunto masculino logró un valioso bronce en un recorrido técnico y exigente en Kamnik. Más allá del Up&Down, España mostró profundidad y talento en todas las categorías: el equipo femenino sub‑20 añadió otra plata, el masculino absoluto volvió al podio y la regularidad del grupo dejó 15 puestos de finalista, confirmando que el proyecto #EspañaAtletismo vive uno de sus momentos más sólidos. Un campeonato notable, competitivo y con nombres propios que analizamos a fondo en Sweet Home Alabama junto a Albert Torrent.

Al cabo de cinco meses de la captura de Maduro, ¿cuál es la situación política de la oposición venezolana? El politólogo Juan Manuel Trak estima en esta entrevista a RFI que la administración Trump "no necesita un gobierno de la oposición" y por esa razón su líder, María Corina Machado, "no aparece en los planes de Trump ni de Rubio". A finales de mayo, María Corina Machado y varios opositores venezolanos firmaron en Panamá una hoja de ruta para negociar el proceso electoral con la mandataria interina de Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez, la tercera fase que Donald Trump planteó tras la captura y extracción de Nicolás Maduro. No obstante, el gobierno venezolano rechaza hablar de una transición. Según el politólogo Juan Manuel Trak, profesor de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León en México, ésta ya no sería necesaria porque Estados Unidos ha conseguido sus objetivos sin tener que cambiar el gobierno. "La estrategia de los Estados Unidos fue garantizar una estabilidad que no derivara en un conflicto interno a manos de diferentes facciones. La única manera que pareciera que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos logró alcanzar ese objetivo fue capturar a Maduro y controlar a la vicepresidenta Delcy Rodríguez y de esta manera garantizar la cooperación con los objetivos e intereses de la administración de la Casa Blanca. Esto lo vimos casi inmediatamente con la aprobación en primer término de la Ley de Hidrocarburos a finales de enero. Ni siquiera habían pasado cuatro semanas de la extracción de Maduro cuando se hizo la reforma que permitía la participación de las empresas norteamericanas y las inversiones extranjeras en el negocio petrolero venezolano". Estados Unidos apoyó en 2024 a María Corina Machado, pero hoy le da la espalda, estima Trak. "La administración de Trump no necesita de un gobierno opositor. De hecho, considera que un gobierno de la oposición no tendría las herramientas para garantizar la gobernabilidad para cumplimiento de los intereses de los Estados Unidos. María Corina Machado no aparece en los planes de Marco Rubio ni del presidente Trump. Evidentemente, aun cuando ella trate de mostrarse como indispensable, no lo es", sostiene.  A pesar de ello, María Corina Machado continúa liderando la oposición en Venezuela. "Hay una 'oposición simbólica', vamos a llamarla así, que está representada por Manuel Rosales y Henrique Capriles Radonski, pero es minúscula. Son personas que no cuentan con la simpatía del electorado. Machado sigue siendo la líder que tiene mayor apoyo en las encuestas con 55%, según la encuestadora Atlas".

Watch as Democrats turn a serious congressional hearing into a complete circus by obsessing over Marco Rubio's shoes. This is peak Washington dysfunction. In this jaw-dropping clip, Secretary of State Marco Rubio gets grilled by a Democrat congresswoman who bizarrely brings up a pair of Florsheim shoes gifted by President Trump. Instead of focusing on foreign policy or national security, she uses the shoes as “evidence” that Rubio “can't admit facts.” Rubio's confused reaction and strong pushback perfectly highlight how unhinged and out of touch the radical Left has become. This isn't governance — it's political theater designed to embarrass conservatives while America faces real crises. Republicans understand what's really happening here: desperate Democrats attacking common-sense leaders like Marco Rubio because they have no real arguments left. We also cover: President Trump CONFIRMS phone call with Bibi. Ukrainian drone HITS St. Petersburg, Russia. Joe Biden CRASHES Dr. Jill Biden's book tour. Support for same-sex marriage flattened in the U.S. Markwayne Mullin clashes with Al Green. If you're tired of the liberal media ignoring these embarrassing moments and the nonstop circus in Washington, this video is for you. Rubio handles it with class and strength, reminding us why strong conservative leadership matters now more than ever. What do you think? Was this the most ridiculous line of questioning you've ever seen, or have Democrats gone even lower? Drop your thoughts in the comments — let's show the Left how real Americans feel about this nonsense!

As Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified before a House committee on Wednesday, Representative Ted Lieu questioned him at length about Donald Trump's mental decline. It was an extraordinary moment. Lieu repeatedly confronted Rubio with damning video of Trump falling asleep and spewing word salad, cornering Rubio into lying about what we can all see with our own eyes. The moment captured something essential about how our politics works today—and shows why Democrats should relentlessly center Trump's unfitness for the presidency whenever possible. We talked to Brian Beutler, author of the excellent Off Message Substack. We discuss the deeper reasons that Democrats need to pick viral fights like this, ponder how Trump understands politics through a strong-versus-weak frame, and parse through how James Talarico should combat right-wing smears in the Texas Senate race.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Wednesday's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing "a circus" after Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., questioned him about a pair of shoes he received as a gift from President Donald Trump. The exchange came after Jacobs criticized Rubio's testimony regarding the recent conflict with Iran, arguing that he was unwilling to acknowledge facts. The exchange came amid a combative hearing in which Democratic lawmakers repeatedly challenged Rubio over the Trump administration's handling of foreign policy, including the recent conflict with Iran. Also Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass advances to November runoff as she seeks second term, audio from Brit Hume on the firing of Scott Pelley, analyzing the subtle bias of '60 Minutes', and interviewers asking the wrong questions.

Mike looks at the big headlines

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 3, 2026. We open with the numbers behind Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that the media isn't telling you — 96% of taxpayers receiving a tax cut earned less than $200,000 a year, 70% earned less than $100,000, and households between $50,000 and $100,000 received an average reduction of over $815. We dig into what those numbers actually represent — 29 million filers claiming no tax on overtime, 7.5 million claiming no tax on tips, 35 million seniors claiming the enhanced senior deduction, 40 million families claiming the enhanced child tax credit, and 127 million taxpayers claiming the doubled standard deduction. We also explain why a tax code is more than a collection of rates — it's a statement about what a government chooses to encourage, and when you tax work and savings and punish overtime, you get less of all three. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency ruling allowing Alabama to proceed with its congressional maps — overruling lower courts that had blocked the state from using the old map even after the Supreme Court itself had reversed its earlier ruling requiring minority-majority districts. Then longtime CBS News anchor Scott Pelley was fired after publicly confronting the new 60 Minutes executive producer at a staff meeting, calling him unqualified and accusing CBS News leadership of trying to kill the show — and refusing to make peace afterward. We note that anyone who refuses to acknowledge there has been a bias problem at CBS News is not capable of being part of fixing it. And Samsung announced it is moving its U.S. corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, Texas — following ExxonMobil, which announced its own departure from New Jersey the week before. New Jersey has the highest corporate income tax rate in the country. Texas has zero. We also cover Colorado Governor Jared Polis signing a law requiring college and university health centers to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs — meaning one of the primary services a Colorado college campus must now provide is access to pills designed to end pregnancies. We ask what would happen if that same level of energy were directed toward helping pregnant students continue their education and carry their children to term. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins the conversation on the California elections — where at the time of broadcast, Steve Hilton leads Xavier Becerra in the governor's race and Spencer Pratt trails Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayor's race with about half the votes counted. We discuss why NBC was already telling viewers that mail-in ballots would push Pratt to third place before counting was even finished, why Brazil counted 124 million ballots in two hours while California is projecting 37 days for 10 million, and why the SAVE Act matters more after watching California's election unfold in real time. We also cover Democratic Congresswoman Camlager Dove shouting at Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a congressional hearing and then walking out before he could answer — and Rubio's perfectly measured response, which sounded remarkably like a man watching his wife leave the room mid-argument. We make the point that committee hearings have stopped being about answers and started being entirely about social media soundbites. In our Digging Deep segment, 1,100 STEM professors in California have written a letter begging the state to restore standardized testing after the University of California system dropped ACT and SAT requirements during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. The results are in — the number of college students whose math skills fall below high school level has increased nearly 30-fold, with 70% of those students performing below middle school level. Professors are being forced to reteach middle school algebra while simultaneously teaching college-level engineering and sciences. We explain why eliminating standards doesn't help minority students — it abandons them, and then blames the test for their unpreparedness rather than the system that failed to prepare them. We also cover a Breitbart roundtable discussion on America's greatest strategic advantage in the AI race against China — and the surprising conclusion that it isn't technology, military power, or economic strength. It's the human soul. Communism, by suppressing religion, individuality, and free will, has weakened the very thing that separates humans from machines. The founders protected that, and it still matters. For our Bright Spot, DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen testified that the border wall is on track for completion from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America by this time next year — with all contracts out by end of month, a secondary wall being added in high-traffic areas, and a smart wall system that deploys drones the moment sensors detect a breach. We call it exactly what it is — a promise made, a promise being kept. We also note that Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut is now saying that 77 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are ignorant and uninformed. We respond briefly and move on. And we close with Leah Wilson, who heard crows cawing around a rain gutter, called the fire department, rescued an injured crow, and held its claw on the drive to the wildlife center. The crow recovered, was banded, and released. A couple of days later, while walking her dog, a crow dove down and dropped a bundle of feathers at her feet. Now they bring her gifts every day. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, in a Senate hearing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified on Iran negotiations, emphasizing condition-based sanctions relief and the critical need to address Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. Any sanctions relief for Iran would fund the regime's army, IRGC, and security forces rather than the suffering people. We need to arm the Iranian people to enable an uprising. This terrorist regime seeks to destroy America and Israel while the current efforts fail to apply maximum pressure. We should not negotiate with or cut deals with terrorists because it emboldens enemies. The isolationists and the Woke Reich give aid and comfort to our adversaries. There is a growing domestic Marxist-Islamist threat, funded by Qatar, China, and others, that is organizing, building enclaves, and infiltrating politics. In breaking news, there are reports of multiple explosions in Bahrain, hours after Iran claimed precise missile strikes on U.S. bases in Kuwait and the IRGC warned of further seismic responses to American actions. Iran appears emboldened rather than defeated by reading U.S. restraint as weakness. The IRGC needs to be pounded, and the Iranian people need to be armed.  Later, the core defect of Marxism is its fundamental misstatement and misapplication of human nature. Rather than being an economic philosophy aimed at equality or fairness, it uses economics and redistribution as camouflage to advance totalitarianism, seeking to control individuals, thought processes, and ultimately create a society of compliant robots. This ideology, like Islam, employs appeal to compassion and justice as propaganda while intending the opposite. It cannot work because human nature, created by God, cannot be intentionally destroyed and rejiggered by man. The practical goal is demographic transformation to build dependent, like-minded societies that can be dominated, eventually extending this control nationally. Finally, Noah Rothman calls in to discuss his book, Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America. https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Progress-Century-Left-Wing-Violence/dp/1546011412/ref=sr_1_1?crid Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: Progressive candidate Dr. Adam Hamawy wins the Democratic primary in New Jersey's deep-blue 12th congressional district in an otherwise muted primary day for leftist candidates. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed gives a perfect response to an MS NOW reporter asking him what he would say to Jewish Americans who are anxious about his critiques of AIPAC and Israel. Ben Freeman, author and director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute, joins the show for a conversation about his piece in Responsible Statecraft on congress trying to quietly intertwine U.S. and Israeli militaries. Congress is voting on this tomorrow so call your Congresspeople to tell them to In the Fun Half: Fox News posts Wisconsin's DSA-backed candidate for Governor Francesca Hong's platform in attempt to fearmonger but it backfires because her platform is common sense and pro-worker. At a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) showcases just how big of a sycophant Marco Rubio is by playing videos of Trump falling asleep during Cabinet meetings, only for Rubio to flatly deny that the president is asleep in the footage. Dan Goldman gives a horrible performance in his debate against Brad Lander. Goldman tries to attack Lander on his record on Israel when the day before Goldman had marched alongside Israeli terrorist Bezalel Smotrich in the Israel Day Parade. George Santos is under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading in the least surprising news story in history. We continue our weeklong reflection upon Dave Rubin's surrounded. All that and more.

The Trump administration's foreign policy challenges, particularly regarding Iran, further complicate the domestic political landscape for Republicans before the midterms.(4) Thaddeus McCotter reviews how political parties adjust after primary elections, highlighting internal conflicts between establishment figures and MAGA or socialist factions. President Trump remains focused on his policy priorities regardless of midterm election outcomes.(5) Michael Toth examines Exxon Mobil's relocation to Texas, which was opposed by proxy firms ISS and Glass Lewis. Toth argues these advisory firms prioritize ideological ESG agendas over actual shareholder value and lack transparency regarding their motives.(6) Michael Toth explains how Texas created specialized business courts and maintained a light regulatory touch to attract major corporations. The state is successfully challenging Delaware's dominance as the primary legal domicile for prominent American companies.(7) Judy Dempsey reports that leaked accounts suggest the U.S. may expand nuclear-capable deployments in Europe to deter Russia. This strategy evaluates reactions to potential shifts in NATO's security umbrella as Europe takes more responsibility for self-defense.(8) Judy Dempsey discusses the AfD party's rise in Germany, which exploits voter fear regarding globalization and deindustrialization. However, the populists lack pragmatic solutions for demographic challenges and the necessary economic reforms missed by previous leaders.(9) Gregory Copley notes that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed as the IRGC maintains its "whip hand" over Iranian policy. Copley asserts that the IRGC prioritizes survival over settlements, using regional proxies to maintain strategic leverage.(10) Gregory Copley analyzes reports of expanded nuclear deployments in Europe, describing them as psychological posturing. He views these signals as political maneuvering that does not substantially alter the military balance of power in Eurasia.(11) Gregory Copley examines the political turmoil besetting the British Parliament as Keir Starmer faces internal challenges and the rising Reform Party. Concerns over illegal immigration and nationalism are replacing traditional class-based voting patterns in the UK.(12) Gregory Copley notes that King Charles III maintains an active diplomatic schedule despite his cancer diagnosis. The King is focused on preparing Prince William for the throne while strengthening vital connections throughout the global Commonwealth.(13) Mary Kissel discusses Secretary Marco Rubio's budget focused on Iran, Ukraine, and China. Rubio emphasizes hemispheric security and the need for strategic planning to address malign influences in Cuba and Venezuela.(14) Mary Kissel critiques U.S.-China relations, arguing that Beijing is a totalitarian enemy. She advocates for strategic decoupling and realistic planning, rather than hoping for fair trade or stability from the current Chinese regime.(15) Malcolm Hoenlein explains that Iran continues its "forever war" by funding Hezbollah despite ongoing truce negotiations. Prime Minister Netanyahu faces internal pressure while assessing potential ceasefires and the ongoing threat of Hamas rebuilding in Gaza.(16) Malcolm Hoenlein notes that Hezbollah's tunnels and missile capacity remain a critical danger to northern Israel. He notes rising global anti-Semitism and the influence of regional actors like Qatar and Turkey in supporting extremist ideologies.Two name fixes: Thaddius → Thaddeus McCotter in (3) and (4), and Elizabeth Peek → Liz Peek in (1) and (2) to match your established style. Say the word if Elizabeth was intentional for these slots.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a chaotic summer schedule and immediately starts doing homework on a name nobody was floating. Trump just named Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting DNI, and Jon pulls his background live: no intelligence experience, but a track record of going after Leticia James, Eric Swalwell, and Adam Schiff, a role in the Fulton County files raid, and a management style so disruptive that Scott Bessent allegedly threatened to punch him at a dinner. Jon does not know if this is a great pick and says so out loud, which puts him in roughly the same honest position as everyone else. Trump also posted that Iran talks have been happening every single day this week regardless of what the media is reporting, Rubio told the Senate the war is over, and Jon notes this is approximately the seventeenth time someone has declared it over. Spencer Pratt's LA mayoral primary is happening today and Jon does not expect him to win, but is watching closely to see whether a stolen race finally gets mainstream people in California asking the question the rest of the country has been asking for years. The Trump-Netanyahu story from Axios is almost certainly planted narrative warfare and Jon explains why.

We discuss how Pashinyan's military parade coincides with Armenian prisoners of war held hostage in Baku, the questionable financing of weapons through $8 billion in external debt, and the broader geopolitical pressures from Russia and Iran as Armenia heads into the 2026 Armenian Parliamentary Election.Topics:May 28 and StatehoodParade as Campaign TheaterRubio's Armenia AgreementsMinerals Without GuaranteesTRIPP Risks in SyunikRussia and Iran PushbackElection Climate and RepressionHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 553 | Recorded: June 1, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/553VIDEO: https://youtu.be/oO5kbg6B_Q8#Armenia #May28 #MarcoRubio #TRIPP #Syunik #CriticalMinerals #ElectionFraud #RussiaArmeniaSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports the nation's Medicare chief says President Trump is in excellent health.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he's optimistic about potentially resuming nuclear talks with Iran.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 29, 2026. We open with a question millions of Americans have been asking for years: when does accountability finally arrive? As federal investigators expand major fraud cases involving government programs in Minnesota and beyond, we examine why so many voters believe there has been one standard of justice for ordinary citizens and another for politically connected insiders. From allegations of massive misuse of taxpayer funds to the broader erosion of trust in public institutions, we discuss why political embarrassment is not the same thing as accountability — and why many Americans believe real consequences matter more than press conferences and resignations. We also cover the indictment of an Iraqi-Iranian man accused of plotting terrorist attacks against Americans, including President Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her family, the historic decision by ExxonMobil to officially move its corporate domicile from New Jersey to Texas after more than a century, and the latest inflation numbers as gas prices continue to drive costs higher across the country. Later, we take a closer look at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's claim that the city is safer than it has been since the 1950s, why many residents appear unconvinced, and how quality-of-life concerns are increasingly shaping local politics. We also explore California Democrats' continued push for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants and the larger debate over incentives, government spending, and immigration policy. In our Digging Deep segment, we break down new polling on the 2028 presidential race. On the Republican side, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio appear to be emerging as the early frontrunners. On the Democratic side, a fragmented field reveals uncertainty about the party's future, with no clear consensus candidate taking control of the race. The American Mamas join us to answer a listener question about jealousy — how to recognize it, how to avoid it, and why genuinely celebrating the success of others may be one of the most important character traits we can teach the next generation. Plus, we discuss why rocket failures are often signs of progress rather than defeat, revisit the lessons of American innovation and risk-taking, and wrap up with another edition of Fake News Friday featuring everything from George Floyd memorials to spelling bee champions, exploding rockets, and some headlines so outrageous they just might be true.

In this episode of 35 West, Associate Director Juliana Rubio sits down with Gabriel Cifuentes, co-founder of Greystone Consulting Group, to discuss Colombia's upcoming May 31 presidential election. The conversation examines how Colombia's election reflects a fragmented political landscape and a deeper debate over the future direction of the country. Rubio and Cifuentes discuss the main candidates shaping the race, the durability of President Gustavo Petro's political project, and the growing divide between those calling for continuity and those seeking a sharper break from the current government. They also analyze how security has reemerged as a central campaign issue, particularly amid criticism of “Total Peace,” the persistence of armed groups, and the appeal of harder-line approaches to public order. The episode also explores the economic and governance challenges the next administration will inherit, including fiscal pressures, weak private investment, energy policy, and strained public services. Rubio and Cifuentes close with a discussion of U.S.-Colombia relations, Colombia's role in the region, and the resilience of democratic institutions at a moment when polarization and populist politics are reshaping electoral debates across Latin America.

Lots to discuss and I hope we get to all of it today, though I doubt it.Just too much, and I need to make bigger points. For months, the political spotlight has belonged to Marco Rubio.The Secretary of State has been sprinting across the global stage like a man extinguishing geopolitical dumpster fires with a fire cannon on loan from God.Foreign policy crises erupt every morning now with the reliability of Starbucks opening at 5 a.m., and Rubio has managed to stay in the center of nearly all of them.China flexes. Iran threatens. Europe panics. Somebody somewhere launches something at someone else, and there's Rubio on television again, looking like a guy who hasn't slept since the Bush administration.Meanwhile, JD Vance had largely faded into the political wallpaper.Not gone. Not irrelevant. Just…waiting.Washington is cruel to vice presidents.The office has historically carried all the prestige of being the backup drummer in a legendary rock band. If the president succeeds, the VP gets polite applause. If the administration stumbles, suddenly everybody remembers the vice president exists. It's why men like Dan Quayle became cultural punchlines instead of political heavyweights. America remembers vice presidents the way people remember the side salad that came with the steak.And JD Vance knows this.He understands that in modern politics, invisibility is death wrapped in a necktie.So when President Donald Trump handed him oversight of major fraud investigations, Vance didn't treat it like ceremonial busywork. He treated it like a launch sequence.Because this assignment is not small.This is not “chair a committee studying paperclips” territory. Trump effectively handed Vance a political flamethrower and pointed him toward some of the bluest states in America, where public money has allegedly vanished with the magical elegance of socks in a hotel dryer.And Vance appears eager to pull on every thread.The opening battlefield? Minnesota.Which honestly makes perfect sense. Minnesota has quietly become one of the most fascinating contradictions in modern American politics. It presents itself as the land of clean governance, sensible moderation, and aggressively cheerful public radio voices that sound like they apologize to furniture after bumping into it. Yet beneath that wholesome Scandinavian frosting sits a government apparatus repeatedly rocked by fraud scandals large enough to make casino accountants blush.Vance recently announced major indictments tied to fraud schemes in the state and posted this on X:Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you're committing fraud, we will… pic.twitter.com/MNfkLlOY0R— JD Vance (@JDVance) May 22, 2026See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The "party of life" is not hypocritical. It's selective.And this week, the receipts are overwhelming.North Carolina Republicans filed House Bill 1232, the "Human Life Protection Act," a constitutional amendment defining life at fertilization that would classify abortion as first-degree murder and authorize deadly force to "protect" a fertilized egg. Legal analysts warn the bill could ban IVF statewide. Meanwhile, the Associated Press published a devastating investigation revealing that at least 10 people have died by suicide in ICE detention since January 2025, the worst year in the agency's history. Seven had no record of violent crimes. Their average age was 32. The government called it "extremely rare."Also this week: the U.S. bombed Iran during a ceasefire and called it "self-defense." Cuba's foreign minister warned the UN that American military threats could cause a "bloodbath." Thomas Massie lost the most expensive House primary in history ($32 million) after pushing to release the Epstein files, and now says he'll release more names. And Ken Paxton, impeached, indicted for securities fraud, and divorced by his own wife on "biblical grounds," just won the Texas Senate Republican primary with Trump's endorsement after the GOP spent $100 million tearing itself apart.Pro-life?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is at the center of the Trump administration. He's helping to lead negotiations over the war in Iran, the pressure campaign on Cuba's communist regime, and U.S. efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine. It wasn't always this way. Journalist and author Manuel Roig-Franzia breaks down how Rubio went from Trump critic to his chief booster, and whether it's all in service of a potential presidential run in 2028.And, in a sharp and rare rebuke of President Trump, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell slammed the administration's $1.776 billion so-called 'anti-weaponization' fund, calling it "utterly stupid" and "morally wrong." Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer explains McConnell's reaction and why it should be viewed through the lens of McConnell's decision not to convict Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Rachel Maddow looks at Donald Trump's attempt to have $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars handed to him to distribute to his friends and allies, and debunks the notion that this money-grab has anything to do with suing the IRS. Rep. Jamie Raskin, who calls Trump's scheme "nothing but a racket," joins to discuss Trump's increasingly open, shameless corruption. Rachel Maddow looks at a collection of reports that show stock purchases made by Donald Trump that were followed by federal actions or specific statements by Donald Trump that affected the price of those stocks. With the major foreign affairs of the United States being handled by Donald Trump's son-in-law and his real estate buddy, Marco Rubio's State Department has become a catch-all for loose ends where officials are dumped after falling out of favor and Rubio's assignments become increasingly disparate. Mary Moriarty the elected Hennepin County prosecutor, talks with Rachel Maddow about her attempt to prosecute an infamous ICE agent. Want more of Rachel?
