Join Badlands Media Special Coverage of the Jamieson Greer, Trade Representative Senate Confirmation Hearing.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we explore the political landscape of President Trump's new cabinet picks through the expert lens of Michelle Shen from CNN's politics team. Jessica and Michelle dissect the confirmation hearings of controversial figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, along with Elise Stefanik's smoother path as UN Ambassador. The discussion sheds light on the intrigues and political maneuvers surrounding these nominations and their potential impact on Trump's administration over the next four years. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:RFK Jr.'s Nomination for Health and Human Services Secretary: The discussion focuses on RFK Jr.'s controversial stance on vaccines and his break from the Kennedy family, who have been stalwarts in the Democratic Party. His views, which have been scientifically disproven, present difficulties in his confirmation process, even among some Republicans.Media and Reporting Challenges: Michelle Shen shares the challenges faced in reporting on the Trump administration, emphasizing the importance of careful fact-checking and contextualization in her journalism work.Inauguration Reflections: Shen reflects on the inaugural weekend, highlighting the contrast between Trump supporters and the wealthier individuals who have close access to him. This theme underscores questions of who will have influence in Trump's administration.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica@Michelle_shen10

Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC returns with lots to say about the wholly unqualified people who the convicted felon in the White House has chosen to be in his cabinet. The senate confirmation hearings are running ad nauseum, many concurrently so we can't possibly cover all of them. But we'll do our best today. In addition to the testimony, much of which was filled with lies and non-answers, we'll also expose the failures of many of the Senate Democrats who cast unconscionable votes in support of some of the worst cabinet nominees in history. And we'll recognize and thank those who did the work we elected them to do, asking tough questions and voting against nominees who should never have a seat at the table.

Governor Brian Kemp's push to limit large jury awards is getting a major financial boost, with a company pledging $1 million in ads to help pass the measure this session. On today's episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down the high-stakes fight over legal reform. State Senator Josh McLaurin, a lawyer and vocal opponent of the bill, explains why he believes the proposal favors businesses over everyday Georgians. We are also joined by Georgia ACLU's Chris Bruce to examine President Trump's latest executive orders and how the newest wave of federal immigration operations is impacting communities across the state. Plus, tensions flared in the Senate as Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clashed over Kennedy's past statements on the CDC. And we take a look at the confirmation of former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler.     Links to today's topics: Brian Kemp's aim to limit some large jury awards gets a seven-figure boost Trump unveils executive orders that could reshape education Senator Warnock grills Robert F Kennedy Jr. on CDC "Nazi" comparisons Kelly Loeffler is on the verge of joining Donald Trump's inner White House circle Have a question or comment for the show?

Julie and Liz talk about Senate confirmation hearings, Trump upcoming inauguration, and J6 pardons.

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Wednesday, January 15, and reports on the Israel and Hamas ceasefire deal and AG Nominee Pam Bondi's Senate Confirmation Hearing. Dennis Ross, David Rothkopf, Marc Ginsberg, Barbara McQuade, and Richard Engel join the show.

The senate continued their hearings for president-elect Donald Trump's picks for major cabinet positions in his incoming administration. First, Timothy Gardner, climate and energy correspondent at Reuters, introduces Chris Wright, the fossil fuel executive tapped to fill the role of energy secretary. Then, Aysha Bagchi, Justice Department correspondent at USA Today, discusses how the hearing went for Pam Bondi, Trump's pick for attorney general.

Pam Bondi appears likely to become the kind of attorney general Donald Trump wished for through his entire first term: absolute fealty and commitment to his avenging his petty grievances. But while her spirit is willing, the lack of a factual basis for many of Trump's vendettas is likely to put her at risk of leaving Trump disappointed and unfulfilled. David Rohde, NBC News national security editor, discusses with Alex Wagner.

Legal AF's Popok provides an urgent live briefing to our audience on late-breaking events and answers questions too! Tonight, Popok will address: 1) Even Judge Cannon couldn't save her "bff" Trump and the key findings of the Special Counsel's report on the DC Election Interference case against Trump (spoiler alert: The Special Counsel believes Trump is guilty of crimes); 2) The Senate Confirmation hearings have begun, and a fresh of lies and awkward attempts to walk back prior statements has already begun with Pentagon nominee Pete Hegseth. Will he survive? 3) the Supreme Court has suddenly become unreliable for Trump, with 2 losses this week and one last week, and the sudden rise of Amy Cony Barrett as the swing vote; 4) Bannon is attacking Musk and wants to bring him down; is this Trump using Bannon to cut Musk down to size? and 5) the memory of Jimmy Carter is already being disgraced by MAGA as they prepare for Trump's swearing in? Who's attending and who is giving a hard "pass", and who will laugh out loud as Trump swears to defend the Constitution. Support our Sponsors! Remi: Save your smile and your bank account with Remi!

Lisa Graves is a frequent and one of my favorite guests on the Nicole Sandler Show. Though she appears here regularly in her personal capacity as opposed to speaking for her organization, she has impeccable legal credentials, including time spent as Chief Counsel for Sen Patrick Leahy on the US Senate Judiciary Committee. So she knows her way around senate confirmation hearings. Today's hearings included Pam Bondi, TCF's second choice for Attorney General (after his first, even worse pick Matt Gaetz, withdrew) and Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, among others. An actual ceasefire with a potential end to the war between Israel and Hamas has been announced... I'll have a few details on that too. Plus some news of a personal matter. The bottom line is that the meningioma that was diagnosed with when I had lung cancer has doubled in size. So I have a few doctors appointments in the coming days and weeks to determine what we're dealing with. I promise to keep you posted as we go along.

Around a dozen of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks are headed to Capitol Hill this week to appear for their Senate confirmation hearings. The big one to watch today is the hearing for Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense, military veteran and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who's facing allegations of excessive drinking, financial mismanagement, and sexual assault. Hegseth's confirmation hearings could be a litmus test for some of Trump's other problematic picks. Burgess Everett, Congressional bureau chief for Semafor, talks about what we can expect from the coming confirmation hearings.And in headlines: House Speaker Mike Johnson said federal aid for wildfire recovery in Southern California could be tied to a debt limit increase, the Supreme Court ruled the city of Honolulu can move forward with a major lawsuit to hold oil companies accountable for climate change, and President Joe Biden said negotiators are “on the brink” of a ceasefire agreement to end the war between Israel and Hamas.Show Notes:Check out Burgess's work – semafor.com/author/burgess-everettSupport victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Today on AAR Daily Defense, Mark talks with Parkland Father, Ryan Petty, a member of the Parkland commission that authored Florida's Parkland bill in the wake of the horrific attack at MSD High School that took the lives of his daughter and 16 others. As a member of that committee, Ryan has intimate knowledge of the bill and the mistakes that were made in it back in 2018-2019. Pam Bondi, a supporter of the bill will not be immune to questioning about her support for various aspects of the bill that Ryan acknowledges went too far including red flag laws, minimum age purchase requirements and more. The conversation will be continued tomorrow on the Friday edition as time got the best of the guys today!

Tonight on The Last Word: The attorney for witnesses in the Matt Gaetz investigation discusses testimony given to the House Ethics Committee. Also, Democrats urge the House Ethics Committee to release the Gaetz report. Plus, Clare Malone joins Lawrence O'Donnell to discuss the media's challenge covering the second Trump term. Joel Leppard and Andrew Weissmann also join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Even after the New York DA's position with respect to a dismissal of Donald Trump's New York case was filed, there are lingering questions about what happens next with his other criminal cases as he begins his transition back to power and unveils his cabinet nominees. MSNBC legal analysts Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann give an insider's perspective on what a final report in the DC case might look like from Special Counsel Jack Smith, as is a requirement within the special counsel rules. What will it encapsulate? And will it be made public? Next up: a few cases involving J6 rioters have been denied a stay, while others have had their trials postponed, but an overarching theme is that Trump's immunity should not extend to these defendants. And finally, Mary and Andrew ‘nerd out' on the Constitutional process of how a recess appointment works, why the early framers thought it necessary, and how the president-elect is angling to use it to avoid the Senate's long held role of advice and consent when it comes to political appointees.  Want to listen to this show without ads?
