For three decades, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has counted on Maine's independent voters to send her to Washington, even as the state has trended more Democratic. This year, in a race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate, Democrats believe Trump's war on immigrants can give them a key advantage.

ICE is Tracking Protestors. Vance Tells Olympians To Shut Up. Chaos At El Paso Airport. Strikes In Mexico Next? Grand Jury Won't Indict Kelly & Co.  With AG Pam Bondi testifying before Congress and shamefully defending Trump's Epstein connections and ICE's lawlessness, and a major US airport shut down potentially due to drones from Mexico invading Texas airspace, Paul Rieckhoff and independent veteran running for Senate in Nebraska Dan Osborn dive deep into the issues the establishment wants to ignore: the urgent demand for the full release of the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for ICE's "dark prisons" and domestic incursions, and the "surge pricing" of groceries that is crushing American families. From the FAA halting flights in El Paso due to cartel drones to the "un-American" politicization of the Olympics by JD Vance, this episode is a masterclass in staying vigilant against chaos, corruption, the super rich and demanding transparency from those in power Nebraska's independent surge is no longer just a "tip of the iceberg" story—it's the tip of the spear.  Dan Osborn returns to the show to break down his statistically tied race against GOP incumbent Senator Pete Ricketts. As Ricketts spends millions to protect his seat, Osborn is fueling a "paycheck populism" movement powered by 25,000 individual donors and a refusal to take corporate PAC money. This is the ultimate David vs. Goliath battle in the heart of the country, and the stakes for the Senate have never been higher. This is perhaps the most important Senate race in the country—because it's more than about Nebraska—it's the people vs the ultra-rich, partisan and powerful.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.
