Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada is nobody's idea of a partisan firebrand. She's a moderate, swing-state Democrat with a résumé steeped in law enforcement — all of which makes her an unlikely leader of the Democratic-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which has now entered its sixth day.But over the past few months, Senator Cortez Masto said she was horrified by the conduct of federal immigration enforcement agents in her own state and across the country. By last week, she and many of her Democratic colleagues in the Senate decided to act on their outrage.In an interview with her on “The Daily,” Senator Cortez Masto talks about why she decided to support withholding homeland security funding, the political perils for her party in blocking that funding and why she believes most Americans support the strategy.Guest: Catherine Cortez Masto of NevadaBackground reading: Democrats and the White House traded offers, but a deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security remained elusive.A polling memo circulated among centrist senators urged Democrats to talk tougher on crime, while noting an opportunity for the party to appeal to voters with criticism of ICE.Photo: Eric Lee for The New York TimesFor more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

The junior senator from Minnesota joined Tim on Wednesday for the first show of a two-night Bulwark run at the historic Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis—the city that caught ICE off-guard with its "radical empathy" and kick-ass organizing skills. It was the "secret sauce" of Minnesotans that looks to have federal agents winding down their operation there. Plus, Democrats need to continue to hold the line on DHS funding, the incompetent clown atop the DoD and other loser Republicans, the Senate is fundamentally broken, and the beauty of retiring to make way for a new generation of leaders.Sen.

Colbert says he was “silenced.” Reality: CBS lawyers reminded him the FCC equal-time rule exists — and he didn't want to give the other Democrat equal airtime. So instead of booking other candidates, he kicked the interview online and cried censorship. This wasn't Trump. It wasn't the FCC storming the studio. It was a late-night host trying to tilt a primary on broadcast TV — and getting boxed in by the rulebook. Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook break down the spin, the fundraising play, and the Democrat-media machine that treats late night like a campaign arm. In this episode:• The Equal Time rule Colbert pretends doesn't apply• Why CBS lawyers stepped in• How a “banned interview” turns into a multi-million dollar outrage haul• The real reason Jasmine Crockett didn't get the same invite PLUS — we actually believe in equal time. Featured Interview: Coach Dooley, candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia

Robert Garcia (D-CA) holds a press conference after Les Wexner's closed door deposition probing his ties to Epstein. Rep. Garcia plainly states that there is Epstein traffic ring, island or private plane without the funding of billionaires like Wexner  .   Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) encourages the media to investigate the allegations made against Donald Trump in the Epstein files. Rep. Lieu also calls for the resignation of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche over his illegal redactions of conspirator's names, the un-redaction of victims and his role in transferring Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison.   Michael Edison Hayden, investigative journalist on far-right extremists and co-host of the Posting Through It Podcast, joins Emma to discuss his piece in Mother Jones on the far-right takeover of northern Idaho.   Itamar Ben-Gvir and his party are pushing for legislation allowing them to execute Palestinian political prisoners.   In the Fun Half:   Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.   We take a look at some of the "highlights" of the Board of Peace event in Washington D.C.

On episode 119 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers team up with guest-host Dr. Reverend Jamal Bryant. Pastor Bryant held a groundbreaking joint sermon recently with his wife, Karri Bryant, for Valentines day. They cracked jokes and shared their wisdom for how to make a relationship last, which we’ll pass on to you. Then Pastor Bryant holds space for us as we remember another reverend, Jesse Jackson, who passed away Tuesday, February 17th. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Early voting sites are being removed from North Carolina Universities, disenfranchising Black students. The SAVE Act heads to the Senate, the “Voter ID Law” threatens voting rights. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says DHS Will Help “Secure” Elections. The Olympic Village has run out of the 10,000 condoms it supples to athletes. Five Black surgeons lead the trauma unit at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital for the first time. We dedicate the majority of our show today to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson had a knack for showing up wherever Black folks were organizing; he showed up for our hosts multiple times to offer his support and mentorship. We’ll hear their personal stories about the reverend and more from his fabled life: Reverend Jackson grew up in poverty before rising through the church to carry on the work of MLK Jr., his mentor. He ran for president in the 80’s (which set the stage for Obama), championed progressive causes that were far ahead of his time, and created broad political alliances that last to this day. His impact cannot be overstated. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

An interview between Stephen Colbert and a Democratic primary candidate in Texas's Senate race has put CBS at odds with the FCC. On Today's Show:Scott Nover, media reporter for The Washington Post, discusses the dispute, and the extent to which the Trump administration can use regulatory power to pressure broadcasters. 

Nigeria's Senate has passed a controversial electoral law after tense debates over how election results should be transmitted during elections. At the centre of the dispute was a provision allowing election officials to revert to manual transmission of results if electronic methods failed. Opposition lawmakers had sought to remove the clause, arguing that it could undermine transparency. And Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela, says African youth are still missing from leadership conversations, and speaks on the potential of Africa's youth, leadership and gender based violence.

Democrats want us not talking about things, they NEED US not talking about things.Because all the “things” are not good for them.President Trump is revisiting the census. This is part of his overall strategy to cripple Democrats before the midterms.Not that Democrats aren't doing a great job themselves at that.I didn't discuss Marco Rubio appearing in front of the Senate or his recent performance, but I heard that he was masterful.I know that Hillary Clinton got clobbered. I think I will talk more about that tomorrow.One subject I really want to delve into soon is how the polls don't match reality.What a scam polling is.And what about China? Not a lot of talk about them. The American economy is booming, but what's happening in China?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A look at the top political stories of the week, including library and abortion bills in Iowa, the primary race for Senate and the death of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Political scientists Karen Kedrowski and Jim McCormick of Iowa State University offer their analysis on the recent headlines.

The Washington State Senate has passed a bill imposing a 9.9% tax on income exceeding $1 million, a move sparking heated debate across the state. Proponents argue the tax will generate crucial revenue for public services like education and infrastructure, while opponents decry it as a disincentive for wealth creation and investment. This legislation now heads to the House, where its fate remains uncertain. This new tax has the potential to drive high-income earners and businesses out of Washington, impacting the state's overall economic health. Will this tax solve budget issues, or will it cripple the Washington economy? We delve into the details, exploring the potential consequences for Washington residents and businesses alike.

Jeremy Carl, Trump's nominee for a senior State Department position, confronted the Senate on white discrimination only to be told that it didn't exist. Well, let's take a look and see if white discrimination is a right-wing conspiracy or real. All you have to do is play "Swap the Races." Stephen Colbert's time as host of The Late Show is almost at its end, but that's not stopping him from being a lying, petulant child. Colbert claims CBS refused to air an interview with Senate candidate James Talarico. We'll shine a light on the truth. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is broke. Time to pull out the Communist playbook.

Celebrate Allie's birthday with us in today's episode! Aside from the festivities, she will dive into Texas State Representative and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico and his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which the two claimed was censored by President Trump. However, Allie exposes that CBS sidestepped an FCC fairness rule, meaning Colbert actually censored Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). Allie also recaps her experience moderating the Republican Texas attorney general debate, highlighting key exchanges on issues like the growing influence of Islam, the abortion pill mifepristone, and border security. Last, Allie reacts to the phenomenon of adult American Girl doll influencers using dolls for anti-ICE activism.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we explore innovative solutions to pressing issues in America, starting with a compelling conversation featuring Congressman Gabe Evans of Colorado. Evans, a former police officer, presents a novel approach to managing anti-ICE protests by leveraging OSHA worker safety rules. He argues that these regulations could protect paid protesters from potential harm while blocking federal vehicles, a unique perspective that could reshape how we view protest safety.Next, we welcome former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a key figure in the state's political landscape. Sununu discusses his family's political legacy and the potential for his brother, John, to reclaim a Senate seat in 2026. With New Hampshire's state government dominated by Republicans, Chris shares insights on how this shift could influence federal elections and the broader political climate.As the conversation unfolds, Governor Sununu sheds light on his role as the CEO of Airlines for America, where he is at the forefront of transformative changes in the airline industry. From technological advancements to improving safety standards, Sununu provides a sneak peek into the future of air travel and what passengers can expect.In the final segment, we reintroduce Jillian Balow, the former superintendent of public schools in Virginia, who is now running for the U.S. House seat from Wyoming. Balow reflects on her previous successes in education and her commitment to parental rights, positioning herself as a strong candidate in a pivotal race.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Republican Party is facing a “change or die” moment. Voters are angry, and Democrats are winning — not because voters like Democrats, but because many feel that the incumbent Republicans no longer oppose corporate power and the unnatural wealth transfer. In this episode, I break down why Democrats are outflanking Republicans on economic messaging and how Republicans are doubling down on policies that aren't even conservative and represent terrible messaging. I contrast the bold message of Freedom Caucus candidates on land use, data centers, and putting the individual above business deals vs. the current message from top GOP leaders, which is the worst form of elitism and populism. Then, Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Jim Carlin joins the show to explain his campaign, centered on restoring real free markets, decentralizing economic power, and ending policies that benefit monopolies over families.

In media shakeups, Anderson Cooper is leaving CBS' 60 Minutes, and independent journalist Georgia Fort pleaded not guilty to federal felony charges tied to covering an anti-ICE protest. On the corporate front, Warner Bros. Discovery reopened talks with Paramount over a $77.9 billion acquisition bid as Netflix circles with a competing offer. The Trump administration is reportedly reviewing its relationship with AI company Anthropic after questions about military use of its Claude model, while Palantir sued Swiss outlet Republik over an investigative report. Meta is facing scrutiny over AI chatbot safety for minors and a patent for AI systems that simulate deceased users. EU regulators are investigating Shein under the Digital Services Act, and the Trump administration has spent at least $40 million deporting migrants to third countries, including Cameroon. Nuclear talks between U.S. and Iranian officials in Geneva reportedly made progress toward a potential new deal.

Today's show is about We The People versus the government bureaucracy. The waste. The incompetence. The lack of progress. All of it. Did you know that US senators work 1/3 the days of the year that we do? Did you know that many of them miss dozens of votes every year, even though they only work 150 days a year? Senator Mike Lee says the American people joining forces to FORCE the Senate to vote on the SAVE America Act is the only way for the broken system to change.

Early voting is underway in Texas, a key state in the battle for control of the House and Senate. State Rep. James Talarico is one of a handful of Democrats running to flip the state's Senate seat blue this fall as longtime Sen.

What If Wednesday: Royals Stadium Announcement Soon, Jerome Tang Firing, Sharice Davids Running For Senate? | 2-18-26See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin cut through the confusion and clamp down on the chaos for a tidbit of today. Hey, do you know who the guest was on The Late Show with Steven Colbert? Sure, you do, yet you can't say that very often, can you? That's because that guest, James Talarico, Democratic candidate for Senate, was given a huge promotional lift by Brendan Carr, Donald K. Trump, and a panicked herd of frightened lawyers, who say that they didn't want to make Jasmine Crockett mad. Jasmine Crockett isn't mad. This Blue Wave is raising all Dem boats. Just talk about the SAVE act is encouraging voter suppression, and spurring plans for new voter suppression. Don't let it get to you but do pay attention. Our generics beat their generics. Zohran Mamdani is the most popular Democrat. Donald's pal Jeffrey Epstein led a global criminal enterprise, creating crimes against humanity. Kristi Noem scuttles the Coast Guard. We kill boaters while cocaine booms, while the guy responsible for shipping 400 tons to the US gets all expenses paid vacation to the Waldorf Astoria. Federal Judges can hardly believe the administration's lawlessness, as they have ruled over 4400 times that ICE detentions were illegal. Trump is getting sick of all of the winning… must be why he hasn't been golfing lately. Hope nothing's wrong with the old boy.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr says journalists were tricked into covering claims by late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert's claims that he was blocked by CBS from interviewing U.S. Senate candidate in Texas James Talarico; Early voting Texas is got underway this week. We will talk with Texas Tribune reporter Kayla Guo about the Senate race with competitive primaries in both parties and the new congressional district maps drawn to favor Republicans.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will testify Wednesday in a civil case about kids and social media. Zuckerberg denies allegations that Instagram is designed to be addictive and that kids are not protected. Jo Ling Kent explains what to know about the landmark trial. "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert criticized CBS again on Tuesday, claiming the network's lawyers told him to drop an interview with Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful James Talarico and cited the FCC's equal-time rule. In a statement, CBS said the show "was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates," and "The Late Show decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel rather than potentially providing the equal-time options." There are new developments in the major media merger battle over Warner Bros Discovery. In December, Warner Bros agreed to a $83 billion deal with Netflix - rejecting a $108 billion bid from Paramount Skydance. But on Tuesday, Netflix agreed to give Warner Bros. one week to reopen negotiations with Paramount. The prosecution in the trial of Colin Gray, whose son is accused of opening fire at Apalachee High School in 2024, called 23 witnesses on Tuesday - many of them children who survived the shooting. The students testified they are still suffering, both physically and mentally, after the deadly shooting. Skyler Henry reports. U.S. curler Korey Dropkin, who won a silver medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics, defended Canadian curler Marc Kennedy amid cheating accusations at the Games, saying he's "one of the greatest curlers of all time and plays by the rules." Dropkin also opened up about sharing his love for the sport and its popularity during the Winter Games. Arielle Kebbel talks to "CBS Mornings" about combining her passions for acting and the outdoors to star in "Marshals." The series is a spinoff of "Yellowstone" and Kebell says she was a big fan of the show. "Sinners" star Delroy Lindo speaks to "CBS Mornings" about being nominated for his first Oscar, saying "it's special. It is a big deal." He also admits he wasn't watching the nominations and explains how he found out. The Olympic sport ski mountaineering is making its debut at the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.

The SAVE Act is headed for a Senate vote, and Democrats are calling it “Jim Crow 2.0.” Senate Majority Leader John Thune says there will be a vote. Chuck Schumer says Democrats will fight “tooth and nail.” So what does the SAVE Act actually do? It requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote and identification when casting a ballot.Today, Todd breaks down the history of real Jim Crow laws, exposes the sophistry behind the comparison, and explains why election integrity is common sense—not racism. Plus: a developing story out of North Carolina involving tens of thousands of voters lacking required ID information, and a tribute to Rush Limbaugh on the five-year anniversary of his passing.

According to federal records, a private school in North Dallas received checks totaling more than $28,000 from a bank account controlled by Jeffrey Epstein. The Texas Torah Institute, a Jewish school for boys, received two checks in 2008 and one in 2009. In other news, Republican controller candidate Don Huffines is scrambling to contain fallout from revelations that his family bought a New Mexico ranch once owned by Epstein;  late-night host Stephen Colbert said CBS blocked an interview with James Talarico, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, preemptively caving to pressure from the FCC; and the Olympic struggles continued for Plano's Amber Glenn as she skated to a disappointing 13th position after the short program in the women's singles figure skating competition at the Milano Cortina Olympics.

In this February 18 episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold broadcasts live from Florida, blending headline analysis with real-time audience engagement. He reacts to John Solomon's claims that President Trump may soon reveal intelligence showing foreign interference in the 2020 election, potentially shifting Senate dynamics around the SAVE Act and voter ID legislation. Jon questions whether exposure is being used strategically and reiterates his stance that voter ID alone does not go far enough. The show also covers Democratic plans to counter-program Trump's upcoming State of the Union, Kevin O'Leary's clash with CNN over election integrity, rising gold and silver prices, and ongoing debates surrounding illegal voting narratives. Jon examines Trump's statement about the UK's 100-year lease of Diego Garcia, expressing confusion over the geopolitical implications and sovereignty dispute. The episode closes with broader reflections on media credibility, the “truth community,” and the challenges of navigating misinformation while legal battles and political pressure continue behind the scenes.

In Episode 031 of DEFCON ZERQ, Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid go live to dissect the intensifying Epstein narrative, the SAVE Act battle in the Senate, and what they see as a broader strategy unfolding ahead of the midterms. The conversation centers on whether Trump is deliberately allowing public frustration to build in order to force accountability through representatives, declassification, and potential emergency powers tied to election infrastructure. They analyze John Solomon's comments about forthcoming revelations regarding 2020 election interference, foreign involvement, and intelligence agencies, connecting it to possible summer disclosures and the political fallout that could follow. The hosts also debate mainstream media's sudden shift in tone on Q, asking whether it's infiltration, misdirection, or something bigger. The episode closes with a deep dive into Zorro Ranch, national security implications, and allegations of scientific espionage tied to Epstein's network. Throughout, Alpha and Josh challenge viewers to think critically, question narratives on both sides, and prepare for what they believe could be a decisive turning point in 2026.

Stephen Shames: A Lifetime in Photography – Lessons on Social Documentary, the Black Panthers, and Child Poverty (Part 1) Introduction In the latest episode of “10 Frames per Second,” host Molly & Joe interview legendary American photojournalist Stephen Shames. Over a 50‑year career, Shames has documented everything from the Black Panther Party to child poverty in America, testifying before the U.S. Senate and publishing twelve monographs. If you're a photographer, journalist, activist, or anyone who cares about visual storytelling, this interview is a goldmine. Below we break down the most actionable takeaways, organize them into easy‑to‑read sections, and show you how to apply Shames's methods to your own work. Who Is Stephen Shames? Fact Detail Profession Photojournalist & documentary photographer Career span 50+ years (1960s‑present) Focus Social issues – child poverty, racism, civil rights Notable achievements Testified before the U.S. Senate (1986), 42 museum collections, 12 monographs (e.g., Power to the People, Outside the Dream), new book Stephen Shames – A Lifetime in Photography – Purchase Directly with Autograph and Print from Stephen via eBay HERE Key collaborations Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, various grassroots organizations How Stephen Shames Discovered Photography College activism – While studying at UC Berkeley during the 1960s, he witnessed the civil‑rights movement and anti‑Vietnam protests. First camera purchase – After hitch‑hiking to New York's East Village, he bought a camera at a pawn shop. Choosing the “artist of the movement” – Frustrated by student‑government politics, he decided to capture the larger picture rather than be a “politician.” “I just wanted to look at the big picture and try and move people with photography.” Working with the Black Panther Party Why the Panthers Accepted a White Photographer Shared goals – Economic and social justice, not just race. Pragmatism – Panthers needed allies outside the Black community to build coalitions (Peace & Freedom Party, Young Lords, Young Patriots). Personal connection – Bobby Seale liked Shames's images and invited him to use them in the Panther newspaper. Key Facts About the Panthers (From the Interview) Founded: October 1966 (initially ~20 members). National expansion: Post‑1968, 10,000+ members, 50‑60 chapters. Community programs: “Breakfast for School Children,” feeding 10,000+ kids daily. Self‑defense model: Legal gun ownership (California) + law books; later, they shifted to “cameras are better weapons.” Lesson for Photographers Build trust by aligning with a group's mission, not merely your identity. Stephen Shames Research‑First Approach “Journalism is two‑dimensional; you need to experience the culture you want to document.” Steps to Deep‑Dive Research Read nonfiction – History, journalism, policy reports. Read fiction – Novels written by members of the community. Listen to music – Understand emotional tone and cultural references. Watch movies / documentaries – Visual language and storytelling cues. Live the bubble – Immerse yourself in daily life, food, rituals. Why It Matters Breaks the “bubble” of your own biases. Helps anticipate reactions and capture authentic moments. Stephen Shames on Building Trust & Relationships Core Principles Honesty: Be transparent about your intent. Respect: Never mock or look down on subjects (e.g., drug addicts, police). Reciprocity: Offer subjects control—let them tell you when to stop. Presence: Stay physically in the community (sleep on sofas, eat meals together). Practical Tactics Find a community “gatekeeper.” Example: a nun from Catholic Social Services who introduced Shames to Chicago projects. Sit down for a conversation before shooting – explain the project, listen to concerns. Share your work later (photos, stories) to reinforce the relationship. “If you're honest, people will accept you, even if you're a ‘liberal New York Jew.'” Bullet‑Point Checklist Identify and contact a respected local figure or organization. Explain your project in plain language. Offer a clear “opt‑out” for subjects. Spend time off‑camera – meals, conversations, errands. Follow up after the shoot with thank‑you notes or shared images. Cameras vs. Guns: The Evolution of “Weapons” 1960s‑70s: Panthers used firearms legally to patrol police. Today: Shames notes that cameras and smartphones are the most powerful weapons for exposing injustice. Why the shift? Legal restrictions on open carry. Instant global distribution of visual evidence. “The camera is a much better weapon because it puts the story directly in front of the world.” Lessons for Modern Photographers Insight How to Apply Research beyond headlines Read novels, watch local films, listen to playlists from the community. Immerse, don't observe from a distance Stay in the neighborhood for days or weeks, not just a single shoot. Earn trust through honesty Share your intent, give subjects a “stop” word, and be transparent about usage. Leverage community allies Partner with NGOs, churches, or trusted locals to gain entry. Think of yourself as a “doctor,” not a “tourist” Your presence should be accepted as part of the environment, not an intrusion. Use the camera as an activist tool Publish work on platforms that reach decision‑makers, not just art galleries. Document, don't dictate Let subjects tell their own story; avoid imposing your narrative. Why Shames's Story Matters Today Media fragmentation & AI‑generated images: Shames emphasizes that authentic, verified photography is more vital than ever. Social justice resurgence: The same patterns of protest, police scrutiny, and grassroots organizing repeat across generations. Educational relevance: Teachers can use Shames's methods to teach research, empathy, and ethical storytelling. Conclusion Stephen Shames's career shows that powerful photography comes from empathy, rigorous research, and deep community ties. Whether you're documenting the modern Black Lives Matter movement, child poverty, or any social issue, the principles he shares—exit your bubble, build trust, and let the camera speak—remain timeless. Ready to start your own documentary project? Apply the checklist above, stay authentic, and remember: your camera can change policy just as much as any courtroom testimony.
