Today, David Waldman sails the Crazy Sea solo. The United Nations puts Donald K. Trump in charge of bringing peace to Gaza, signifying that the world has completely run out of ideas or hope for Palestine. But what about the Epstein files, you ask? Well don't you worry, because the Gop House is on it, with a vote that they've been promoting for months. As you might remember from Schoolhouse Rock, the bill then goes to the DOJ for beheading. If Jeffrey Epstein ever starts to fade from attention, the White House has more waiting in the wings to promote, such as Andrew Tate, who not only rapes girls and traffics them, but Tate also generally hates all women. Nazi-stan Paul Ingrassia can't seem to hold a job in the White House, but his Mom and Donald still love him.
"Video may have killed the radio star but streaming and individual choices in music killed the video. Paramount Global has begun shutting down Mtv channels in Europe and reports are that soon it will come to the United States. Mtv is 44 and it looks like it may not make it to 45. "
Ken Burns says the American Revolution is "the most important event in world history since the birth of Christ." That's a bold claim—especially in a moment when the word "patriot" has become a weapon and the experiment that revolution launched feels more fragile than ever. In this conversation, Russell Moore sits down with the legendary documentarian to explore what eight years of wrestling with the founders can teach us about our fractured present. How do you love a country—or a church—while being honest about its deep hypocrisies? Can you hold together progress and permanence, hope and clear-eyed realism? And what does faithfulness look like when certainty has replaced faith? Burns's new series, The American Revolution (premiering November 16 on PBS), attempts something audacious: telling a visual story from an era with no photographs, bringing to life the contradiction-filled men who proclaimed "all men are created equal" while many of them held other human beings in bondage. Using voices including Tom Hanks, Liev Schreiber, and Claire Danes, Burns creates a narrative that refuses both myth-making and cynicism. Burns discusses with RDM why labels such as “Heritage American” and “Christian America” fail and what the founders actually believed about divine providence (hint: it wasn't what you think). Along the way: Schoolhouse Rock nostalgia, baseball metaphors, and what it means to be a patriot when the word itself has been hijacked.

"The number changes, but as of the writing of this description, only 1883 songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart including all its earlier versions. This week back in 1990, the first rap song topped the chart. That got me wondering how many other firsts and other interesting facts surround the top spot. Here is a list."
"The NOW CDs, as they are often called, started in the UK in 1998 with Richard Branson. They were a hit out of the gate, each crafted to a specific formula. They are a professionally made mix tape. We have the full history and a good bit of trivia about the series."
"Cryptozoology is the study of a creature that probably doesn ot exist. Think Bigfoot. What is great about it is that every state seems to have its own monster. Maybe people really do think it exists or maybe it was invented to scare children at Halloween. We built up a list along with songs about candy. It is Halloween 2025."

"Many music outlets noticed there was no traditional Summer Song this year. No poppy dance tune that rose to the top of the charts. The Billboard Summer Song chart claimed a number one but it was a down tempo ballad. We will explore what happened and why."

For decades, generations of schoolchildren linked to the video on the Schoolhouse Rock YouTube channellearned from Schoolhouse Rock that bills become laws through careful committee work, open debate, and thoughtful compromise. But as today's episode of UnCommon Law makes clear, that tidy version of lawmaking no longer reflects reality. Instead, leaders often craft omnibus bills in back rooms and create deliberately vague laws that punt hard decisions to federal agencies. But with the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision ending 40 years of judicial deference to agencies, critics say Congress can no longer hide behind this broken system. In this season finale, we hear from a current and a former senator on opposite sides of the aisle who both argue that Congress must reclaim its constitutional role. They agree that decades of delegating authority to agencies has weakened the legislature, but they diverge on what should happen next. Should lawmakers strip out vague catchall words to limit agency discretion? Or should Congress work more closely with agencies to ensure workable, expert-informed legislation? But can a deeply polarized institution actually change? While both senators agree on some solutions, they differ sharply on whether a different approach is even possible in today's political climate. On today's episode, we explore whether Congress can reclaim its constitutional role. Featuring: Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo. Former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D.
When Mr. Smith Goes to Washington came out in 1939, it infuriated politicians, the press, and fascist nations. At the same time, it delighted audiences and informed them on the legislative process decades before Schoolhouse Rock.

Iowa politics is heating up—even in the summer. In this episode, Chris and John discuss behind-the-scenes moves in the 2026 Iowa governor's race, including State Representative Eddie Andrews' growing focus on property tax reform. They also cover Governor Reynolds' recent veto and the potential for a special legislative session to override it.The conversation turns to local government spending, highlighting Iowa City's plan to pursue a local-option sales tax—despite already implementing a franchise fee. Chris and John ask why local governments insist on spending more, even while claiming to prioritize property tax relief.The hosts dig into housing policy, questioning the role of cities like Waukee in subsidizing affordable housing despite ample federal incentives already in place. Is government the right entity to address housing shortages—or is it just chasing the next big narrative?They close with reflections on the importance of civic education in Iowa, concerns about ideological bias in new university-led civics centers, and a call to return to foundational civic principles—maybe even through a little Schoolhouse Rock.
This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Foreign Policy Editors Daniel Byman and Dana Stuster to talk through the week's big news in Israel and Iran, including:“The Nuclear Option.” Israel crossed the rubicon late last week and took direct military action against Iran's nuclear weapons program, among other targets, in an aggressive unilateral military campaign that has only expanded in the ensuing days. Iran, meanwhile, has reciprocated with volleys of attacks against Israel, some of which are getting through the substantial missile defenses Israel (and the United States) have deployed. It's the Middle East war everyone has feared for more than a decade. How will it come to an end? And what will its ramifications be for the region?“Bibi Got Back.” Israel has threatened to take direct military action against Iran over its nuclear program multiple times over the past two decades but has always stopped short. Why did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proceed this time? And what will the implications be for his government, which has been teetering on the edge of collapse? And for his relationship with President Trump, his once close ally who declined to back his decision to proceed?“Bye-Atollah.” While Israel's official target has been Iran's nuclear and military complexes, many observers suspect that their real goal is something else: regime change. And recent reports that Netanyahu proposed killing Iranian political and spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini—but relented after objections from the Trump administration—suggest they may be right. What might Iran look like if its current regime collapses? And will it help or hurt Israeli (and U.S.) security interests?In Object Lessons, Tyler sang the praises of online radio station NTS.Live and NTS Guides to all of your quirky and eclectic musical tastes. Scott didn't miss a beat with his throwback recommendation of Schoolhouse Rock song covers, with a particular fondness for Pavement's rendition of No More Kings. And Dana shared his appreciation for analysis that takes Israel's and Iran's strategic calculus seriously.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaA museum doseAloha fellow disruptors and pop culture archeologists—Today, we're cracking open the vault of American myth-making with not just one, but three brilliant minds who aren't just studying history—they're remixing it, re-curating it, and calling it out in real time.Straight outta Christopher Newport University, meet the powerhouse crew behind the exhibit “Made for the Moment: Glimpses into American Pop Culture.” These are museum studies renegades who know that culture isn't something you passively consume—it's something you confront, question, and sometimes completely dismantle.Aster McMillion is a curator of chaos and clarity—activist, researcher, and walking collage of academia and rebellion. Picture Gloria Steinem crossed with Indiana Jones if they were dropped into a Warhol print and handed a bullhorn.Andrew Brown is a tour guide through the simulation—part art historian, part cultural codebreaker. He'll take you from Rothko to Rage Against the Machine without missing a beat, all while interrogating who gets to shape “the canon.”And now joining the fray is the brilliant Lizzie Childress—or as the revolution knows her, Lizzie. She's a triple-threat honors student, history major, political science and museum studies double-minor, and student leader of more clubs than there are TikTok trends in a day. Lizzie's not just studying curatorial power—she's practicing it in real time, zooming in live from the exhibit space itself. She's Phi Alpha Theta meets Schoolhouse Rock meets punk rock historian.Their event? A full-on excavation of the American psyche—from Elvis to drag queens, from Barbie to TikTok backlash. This isn't just nostalgia. It's a reckoning.So if you've ever questioned the gospel of Disney, longed for the days of Blockbuster, or wondered why memes feel more powerful than newspapers—this is your show.Grab your joystick.

Schoolhouse Rock taught a generation how laws are made. But now, a big measure like the highway bill is the best way to fix some issues. Also, Linda Allen, an OOIDA board member who fell into the business of trucking, has become an important voice on behalf of truckers and veterans. And the city of Chicago has developed a bad reputation in trucking as the location of a significant amount of fraud that targets truck drivers. 0:00 – Newscast 10:12 – Making her voice heard on behalf of truckers 24:48 – Chicago's reputation for freight fraud 39:32 – Highway bill could fix some big trucking issues
It's March 27th. This day in 1976, Schoolhouse Rock premieres the song "I'm Just A Bill," an animated look at the process by which legislation gets passed -- or languishes in the halls of Congress.Jody, Niki, and Kellie talk about how the song came together, the legislation at the heart of the process, and whether lawmaking still happens the same way.Sign up for our newsletter!

John is joined by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to discuss this year's election, next year's Congress, and the agita about his party's future. Jeffries argues that although the Democratic performance on November 5 was undeniably “disappointing,” it was hardly catastrophic; that of all of Donald Trump's disconcerting appointments, RFK, Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services may be the most dangerous; and that while he disagrees with Mike Johnson about much, he sees the speaker as a “good man” whom he can do business with (neither of which he could say so readily about Kevin McCarthy). Jeffries also describes how his new children's book, The ABCs of Democracy, was influenced by Schoolhouse Rock, and offers his (solid) list of the all-time top five rap MCs and (unassailable) opinion that The Wire is the greatest TV show ever made.
