Our federal government is clearly, visibly fucked on too many levels to count. Even scarier? Our state legislatures have immense power and far fewer eyes on them, making them even easier to sway. But this also means they're attainable targets for us, the people, to organize and take back. This week, Adam speaks with former New York senator Daniel Squadron, author of The Fourth Branch: How State Government Can Save Our Union, about how a focus on our states might just be what we need to save democracy.

Did Trump's endorsement help or hurt Pam Evette? South Carolina's governor race is tighter than ever as polls conflict, candidates battle for undecided voters, and political insiders scramble ahead of Election Day. SOCIAL MEDIA POST

The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed what they are describing as a “transparency bill” called, An Act Promoting Transparency and Public Access in State Government. The bill is in direct response to the ongoing legal battle brought forth by State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, to audit the State Legislature. The measure would allow DiZoglio to audit the administrative functions of both the House and Senate but would not allow an audit of “constitutional functions.” House Speaker Ron Mariano says it would, “establish a clear framework for legislative audits conducted by the State Auditor.” Diana checked in with us on Nightside to discuss!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Top leaders representing the Republican side of the Illinois House and Senate share their thoughts and criticisms on this year's budget.

DESCRIPTION President Trump has officially endorsed South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Pam Evette, but the endorsement may have created more questions than answers. Tara and Roger break down allegations of backroom political deals involving Governor Henry McMaster, the state's redistricting battle, and claims that Trump's endorsement came with unexpected strings attached. The discussion centers on reports that Evette could select Henry McMaster Jr. as her lieutenant governor candidate despite previous denials, raising accusations of political dynasty-building and establishment control. The hosts also examine the failed congressional redistricting effort, the relationship between South Carolina's Republican establishment and Trump, and why some believe the endorsement message itself may have contained a subtle political jab. As primary day approaches, the race is becoming increasingly contentious, with questions about loyalty, transparency, and the future direction of South Carolina Republican politics. SHOW SUMMARY Today's show focuses on President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette in South Carolina's gubernatorial primary and the political fallout that followed. Tara and Roger discuss allegations that Governor Henry McMaster helped broker the endorsement in exchange for elevating his son politically, claims surrounding congressional redistricting efforts, and what the endorsement could mean for the future of the state's Republican establishment. KEY TOPICS Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette South Carolina governor's race Henry McMaster political influence Lieutenant governor speculation Congressional redistricting controversy Republican primary politics Establishment vs. outsider candidates South Carolina GOP power struggles SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS • Trump endorses Pam Evette ahead of the primary. • Discussion of alleged agreements involving Henry McMaster Jr. • Debate over political dynasties and "nepo baby" accusations. • Analysis of South Carolina's failed redistricting effort. • Examination of tensions between Trump and state Republican leadership. • Predictions for how the controversy could affect the final days of the race. SOCIAL MEDIA TEASER Did Trump's endorsement help Pam Evette—or create a brand-new political headache? Tara and Roger unpack the drama surrounding South Carolina's governor's race, allegations of backroom deals, and why one endorsement has everyone talking.

DESCRIPTION A bombshell endorsement in South Carolina's governor's race raises new questions about political deal-making, redistricting battles, and whether President Trump intentionally undercut the candidate he endorsed. FULL EPISODE DESCRIPTION South Carolina politics takes another dramatic turn as President Trump officially endorses Pam Evette in the race for governor. But according to Tara, the endorsement may reveal far more than support for a candidate. The show explores allegations that Governor Henry McMaster leveraged South Carolina's congressional redistricting fight to secure Trump's endorsement for Evette while positioning his son for a future leadership role. Tara details claims of behind-the-scenes negotiations, establishment politics, and growing frustration within conservative circles over the state's Republican leadership. The most surprising twist? Trump's endorsement message included a reference to Henry McMaster Jr. potentially serving as lieutenant governor—a detail Evette had reportedly avoided discussing publicly. The result is a political firestorm that could reshape the final days of the gubernatorial primary. With primary voters preparing to head to the polls, questions about transparency, political dynasties, and the future of South Carolina's Republican Party are taking center stage. SHOW SUMMARY Tara breaks down President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette and the political fallout that followed. The discussion centers on South Carolina's failed redistricting effort, allegations of backroom political agreements involving Governor Henry McMaster, and why Trump's endorsement may have complicated Evette's campaign instead of helping it. KEY TOPICS Trump endorses Pam Evette South Carolina governor's race Congressional redistricting controversy Henry McMaster political influence Lieutenant governor speculation GOP establishment politics Political dynasty accusations South Carolina primary election SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS • Trump officially endorses Pam Evette. • Discussion of South Carolina's redistricting battle. • Allegations of political negotiations behind the endorsement. • Questions surrounding Henry McMaster Jr.'s future role. • Analysis of Trump's endorsement message and its implications. • Examination of tensions between grassroots conservatives and the Republican establishment.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION South Carolina's redistricting battle is reaching a boiling point as conservative voices accuse Republican lawmakers of siding with Democrats to preserve a congressional seat long held by Jim Clyburn. The discussion centers around a recent Supreme Court ruling on race-based district maps, accusations of political sabotage inside the GOP, and growing frustration among conservative voters who believe establishment Republicans are blocking reform. The episode also dives into media coverage criticism, population growth in South Carolina, and concerns about the state's political direction heading into future elections. KEY TOPICS South Carolina congressional redistricting battle Supreme Court ruling on race-based districts Republican infighting in the SC Senate Criticism of Shane Massey and GOP leadership Debate surrounding Jim Clyburn's district Media criticism targeting the Associated Press South Carolina political identity and voter frustration Potential lawsuits over congressional maps Conservative reaction to state leadership SEO KEYWORDS South Carolina redistricting, Jim Clyburn district, Shane Massey controversy, SC Senate Republicans, Supreme Court district ruling, South Carolina politics, race based districts, congressional map battle, AP media criticism, Trump redistricting, conservative South Carolina, SC GOP divide, unconstitutional districts, South Carolina Senate news, Republican infighting CHAPTERS 00:00 Memorial Day Weekend Recap 01:12 Accusations Against SC Republican Leadership 04:20 Supreme Court Ruling & Redistricting Debate 08:14 Media Coverage Criticism of AP 11:40 South Carolina's Political Identity Crisis 15:52 COVID Policy & State Leadership Concerns 19:34 Possible Lawsuits Over Congressional Maps 22:18 Conservative Voter Frustration Boils Over YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION South Carolina politics are heating up as conservatives accuse Republican lawmakers of helping Democrats preserve a congressional district tied to Jim Clyburn. The conversation dives deep into the ongoing redistricting fight, the impact of a recent Supreme Court ruling on race-based districts, and why many voters are furious with GOP leadership in Columbia. The episode also examines criticism aimed at Shane Massey, the role of the Associated Press in shaping public perception, and why many conservatives believe South Carolina's political establishment is far more moderate than it appears. With lawsuits looming and tensions rising, this battle could shape the future of South Carolina politics heading into the next election cycle. THUMBNAIL TEXT OPTIONS GOP BETRAYAL?

On our political radar this week… Pam Bondi joins Meat Loaf, Joan Rivers, Dennis Rodman, Sinbad, Dionne Warwick, Andrew Dice Clay, Omarosa … and Kristi Noem: “You’re fired!” VIDEO: Bye Bye Bondi (A Tribute) Senator Elissa Slotkin – speaking in Iowa – confirms what we've been saying for weeks: she's open to running for President. Two more special elections this week, two more sharp turns to Democrats: –In Wisconsin, liberal candidate Chris Taylor cruised to an easy victory over her conservative opponent in the state Supreme Court race with 60 percent of the vote, expanding the liberal majority on the court to 5-2. – Georgia, Democrat Shawn Harris lost by about 12 percentage points in the race to replace Marjorie Taylor Green, but he shifted the district 25 points to the left. Trump won the district by 37 percentage points in 2024. A national Republican group said Monday it's dumping $45 million into Michigan's open U.S. Senate race as an initial investment to help presumptive GOP nominee Mike Rogers flip the seat from Democratic control. The operative word is “initial”, meaning even more millions will flow into Michigan Republican sources. Trump is calling on Congress to give Pete Hegseth a staggering $1.7-trillion dollars over the next year. To fund it, Trump wants to cut virtually every other federal program including a 23% cut for NASA even as four astronauts take a first-ever-for-humans trip to the far side of the moon. One item calling for a major increase: White House repairs and renovations. Trump wants to spend 377-million dollars on fixing up the place, an 860 percent increase. Two more major league grifts from Trump: –The Justice Department has settled for roughly $1.2 million a lawsuit from Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who pleaded guilty during Trump’s first term to lying to the FBI about his conversations with a top Russian diplomat and was later pardoned. Bottom line: if Trump likes you, taxpayers will pay you to lie to the FBI. –Semafor is reporting that Trump has directed the State Department to send $1.25 billion – without any Congressional appropriation or authorization to do so – to Trump's Board of Peace. The transfer effectively places the money directly in the hands of Trump, the board’s chairman. Trump and the board’s executives control funding for the Board of Peace — and Trump selects the executive board — and the president will continue to do so even after his second term ends in January 2029. In the race for Governor – John James is ducking still another candidate debate, this one set for the end of the month in vote-rich Oakland County. James has seen his once overwhelming lead for the GOP gubernatorial nomination shrink as septuagenarian Perry “Quality Guru” Johnson dumps millions into an effort to spend his way into office. Governor Whitmer says she will not endorse a candidate for U.S. Senate or Secretary of State. She earlier ruled out an endorsement in the race for the gubernatorial nomination. It's pretty easy for Democrats to be critics of Donald Trump, his policies and his corruption. More important to most people is answering the question: “so what are you going to do?” State House Democrats have answered, releasing their Vision for a Brighter Michigan. We're joined by House Democratic Leader Ranjeev Puri who led development of the plan. The son of Indian immigrants, Leader Puri made history in 2020 as the first person of color to represent his Canton Michigan district and the first Sikh-American in Michigan's legislative history. In his second term he served as majority whip, making him the highest-ranking South Asian in state government nationwide. Remarkably, he is one of two first-generation Indian-Americans in top legislative leadership: Senate Majority Floor Leader Sam Singh is also the son of Indian immigrants. Leader Puri's leadership has earned national recognition, including being named to the Council of State Government's “20 Under 40” Leadership Award Class of 2023 and receiving the MIRS Legislator of the Year Award in 2024.His leadership has earned national recognition, including being named to the Council of State Government's “20 Under 40” Leadership Award Class of 2023 and receiving the MIRS Legislator of the Year Award in 2024. (Jeff) First question! A personal note from producer/co-host Walt Sorg April is Michigan Donate Life month, a recognition of the state's organ donation program. Four years ago I was the recipient of a donated kidney. It changed my life … and probably saved my life. A part of you can live on after death through the simple act of saying “yes, I want to pay it forward.” And you can go a step beyond through a living donation of a kidney, or portion of your liver. My donor was my brother and he's just as healthy today with one kidney as he was before the surgery. The Michigan Organ Donor Registry is a confidential database that documents an individual's decision to become an organ, tissue and eye donor. Joining the registry is simple and secure. Michiganders can add their name online at Michigan.gov/OrganDonation, at any Secretary of State branch office or self-service station, or on your state income tax return. And while you're at it … the donation of blood through the Red Cross is an easy way to save another life. Last spring, donated blood saved my life. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
