The New Yorker staff writer David D. Kirkpatrick joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the Biden Administration's failure to restrain Israel during its military campaign in Gaza. They talk about what Kirkpatrick has learned from former senior members of Biden's national-security team—some of whom spoke on the record about key decisions during the conflict for the first time—and how previously undisclosed documents and revelations point to the Administration's failure to rein in the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and to reduce Palestinian civilian casualties. They also explore why the former officials are now speaking candidly about their missteps, and whether the Administration's approach to Israel helped shape the conditions that led to the current war with Iran. This week's reading: “How Biden Enabled Israel's Aggression Toward Gaza—and Iran,” by David D.

When President Trump took office in January of 2025, he signed 26 executive orders on the first day. In that pile of executive orders was one entitled: Protecting the Meaning and Value of American American Citizenship.  In it, the president directed that federal officials were not to issue documents recognizing United States citizenship to anyone who is born in the country to illegal immigrants or legal migrants here in a temporary capacity. This practice, known as birthright citizenship, has gathered a lot of attention over the last few years for the immigration chaos it has created. Last month, the Supreme Court, in Trump v. Barbara, decided that the executive order was unconstitutional. Now, conservatives are looking for ways to preserve American sovereignty. Here to discuss some ideas for how to make that happen is Roger Severino, Vice President of Economics and Public Policy, here at the Heritage Foundation. --- Roger Severino on X: https://x.com/RogerSeverino_--- Email us at heritageexplains@heritage.org

Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down why elections are a game of inches, and why the GOP's real 2026 strategy is making it harder to vote and easier to cheat. He walks through the RNC's own lawsuit admitting late mail ballots favor Democrats, the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling against them, and another win in Kansas protecting mail voters. We can't get complacent. Only 19 states protect these ballots, and a lot is on the line before November.Join our subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DemocracyDocket/

His brother gets arrested and charged with a life felony involving a girl who was nine. And Josh Duggar, sitting in a federal prison cell four years into his own sentence, has his attorney put out a statement about how hard it is to be falsely accused.He "lives with the painful reality of how false accusations can destroy a life," it says. Publicity can "twist the truth into sensationalized fiction."A jury convicted him. A federal judge refused to overturn it. An appeals court upheld it. The Supreme Court declined to hear it. Four levels of the federal judiciary examined the case against Josh Duggar and left it standing. He is still, in his own telling, the one this happened to.In 2015, a statement went out under his name admitting he'd led a double life and, in his own words, "acted inexcusably" and "hurt others." The country read it. It ended everything.In 2025, Josh Duggar told a federal court he didn't write it. He says television producers did.That's what he's doing in there. Not serving a sentence, taking it apart, one admission at a time. And one of the eight grounds in that motion drags his sisters into it. He walks out February 2, 2033.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jase, Al, and Zach return to Genesis to answer the question culture and even a Supreme Court justice struggled to define, tracing what Scripture says about men, women, their differences, and every person bearing the image of God. The guys dive into church favoritism, empty “thoughts and prayers,” and the difference between simply believing in God and living out a faith that is truly alive. Zach and Jase can't decide who's the poorer listener, and Jase decides Zach's new hairstyle is proof that his midlife crisis has officially arrived.  In this episode: Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:18-23; Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 16:20; Romans 8:19-28; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 3:9; 1 Corinthians 16:16; 2 Corinthians 6:1; 1 Timothy 2; James 2:1-26 “Unashamed” Episode 1381 is sponsored by: Upgrade your wallet today!

The Third Circuit delivers a major Second Amendment victory, striking down New Jersey's gun and magazine bans. Dr. John Lott joins Mark Walters to explain what this means for Heller, Bruen, Justice Barrett, and the Supreme Court's historic upcoming gun ban cases.

Bill welcomes former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler to discuss his new book, "This Is the Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy," and Wisconsin's political arc from La Follette-era progressivism to Scott Walker's rollback and a comeback under Gov. Tony Evers. Wikler argues the most effective political work is grassroots, trust-based conversations that target persuadable and low-propensity voters, noting how tiny margins can decide outcomes. He contends Democrats must prioritize state-level races—governors, legislatures, attorneys general, secretaries of state, and especially elected state Supreme Courts—to set election rules and defend democracy against Trump-era threats. Wikler describes building a year-round “permanent campaign” infrastructure in Wisconsin and outlines a step-by-step roadmap from weekly local elections through 2026 battleground-state trifectas, advancing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and pursuing major federal democracy reforms in 2029.You can order your copy of Ben's great new book at Bookshop.org.

On Thursday, July 9, President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), and the agency's final commissioner, a Republican, resigned. Without commissioners, the agency can still distribute election funding to states, but some of its functions will be impacted, such as establishing new programs or carrying out the appeals process for decertified voting systems. President Trump has not indicated whether he plans to nominate replacements. The White House said the Supreme Court's recent ruling affirming the president's power to remove leaders of independent agencies established precedent for the firings.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ and today's “Under the radar” story ⁠here⁠ and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

It's Monday, July 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian 13-year-old girl still captive to Muslim man On July 7, the European Parliament condemned Pakistan for its violation of human rights, citing a 13-year-old Christian Pakistani girl who is still fighting for her freedom from the 30-year-old Muslim man who abducted her, reports International Christian Concern. Maria Shahbaz was kidnapped in July 2025 by Shehryar Ahmad, who forced her to convert to Islam and married her against her will. Alliance Defending Freedom came alongside her parents in their fight to regain custody of their child in Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court in February. Pakistani law states that a minor cannot legally consent to religious conversion or marriage, but shockingly the court ruled in favor of Ahmad when he presented a forged marriage certificate.  In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Shahbaz's parents are not giving up. They are still appealing their daughter's case in court, hoping that justice will swiftly come.  According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. Send a polite, 3-sentence letter to Rizwan Sheikh, the Pakistan Ambassador to America, asking that he intervene.  The address is 3517 International Court NW, Washington, DC 20008. Two U.S. soldiers killed in Iranian attack on military base Two American soldiers were killed on July 17th in an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, reports the Western Journal. In a post on X, U.S. Central Command added, “Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged.” Plus, one soldier is missing. Iran's attacks came after the U.S. launched its seventh consecutive night of air strikes on Iran. Iran makes chilling death threats against President Trump Iranian state media has published a shocking video entitled “Where to kill Trump?”, claiming to know the U.S. leader's motorcade route and the vulnerabilities within his security, reports The Express. The highly concerning footage claimed to reveal “information on the whereabouts of the terrorist president of America” while promising that “access to Trump is possible in these places.” It also alleges to give details about the motorcade that protects the U.S. president, which typically consists of 40 to 50 vehicles. It comes after repeated death threats have been made by Iran following the U.S. assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.  President Trump's primetime speech on election integrity Last Thursday night, President Donald Trump addressed election security in a nationwide primetime address from the White House, pointing to ways American political leftists and China have compromised our elections, reports The Epoch Times. TRUMP: “You can't have a great country without free and fair elections. All we want is honesty in our elections. Great damage has been done to our country. Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost. This cannot be allowed to continue. “Every American -- whether you're a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise -- should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world.” President Trump explained that China started compromising our elections in 2020. TRUMP: “Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote. “This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.” And finally, President Trump vowed action to hold people accountable. TRUMP: “The documents we will release, starting tonight, have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity. “You can see these documents for yourself at whitehouse.gov. That's whitehouse.gov. Go check it out. Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly, and that's what we're doing.” Homeland Security Secretary vows to prosecute illegal voters In related news, during a Friday press briefing, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin promised to hunt down and prosecute illegal voters in the U.S., noting that 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in just four states, reports The Christian Post. Speaking in the wake of President Donald Trump's 25-minute primetime address about election security on July 16th, Mullin outlined an aggressive plan to tighten voter roll integrity, harden election infrastructure, and hold election officials accountable for alleged failures. Senator Marsha Blackburn: No more birth tourism Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has reintroduced legislation aimed at ending so-called “birth tourism” following the Supreme Court's recent 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Barbara. It held that children born in the United States to illegal aliens and foreign tourists remain entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, reports Big League Politics. She said, “Congress must step up to the plate to protect the integrity of American citizenship.” The Ban Birth Tourism Act is co-sponsored by GOP Senators Ted Budd of North Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Sheehy of Montana, Jim Banks of Indiana, and Rick Scott of Florida. The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly prohibit foreign nationals from obtaining temporary visas for the purpose of giving birth in the United States. It would also classify birth tourism as a deportable offense, allowing immigration authorities to remove foreign nationals who enter the country for that purpose. Call your two senators anytime -- 24 hours a day 7 days a week -- speaking to a live operator to leave a voicemail at 202-224-3121 and ask them to support the Ban Birth Tourism Act. That's 202-224-3121. Samaritan's Purse deployed disaster relief unit for Texas flood victims On July 17th, churches in the Texas Hill Country opened their doors as flood displacement shelters, taking in families whose homes and recreational vehicles had been swept away by rapidly rising rivers that killed at least two people, reports The Christian Post. Recently more than 30 inches of rain fell over several days, causing the Leona River and Guadalupe River to overflow. Floodwaters surged through the streets, destroying homes, and stranding people and vehicles. The Christian relief group Samaritan's Purse said it was deploying a disaster relief unit to the Hill Country, with staff and volunteer teams set to work in Uvalde County. The group said it was basing operations out of Uvalde Methodist Church, with volunteers beginning on Sunday to help residents remove waterlogged belongings and clear mud from their homes. Consider making a donation to Samaritan's Purse to help the Texas victims of the flood through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 asks, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need, but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Worldview listeners weigh in from New York, Texas and Arkansas Deb Staley in Unadilla Forks, New York wrote me and said, “The Worldview never disappoints. It's uplifting, informative, and to the point. The Bible verses are so very helpful. And I love the fact that there are limited news stories. If there were more, I'd begin to tune out. Thank you for what you do.” David O'Hanlon in Burleson, Texas wrote, “I have listened to your broadcast every weekday for about two years which I support monthly. You bring news – especially the persecution of the Church – which I do not hear anywhere else.”  And Melissa in Bradford, Arkansas wrote, “I listen to your newscast on my lunch break. I like it because it's truthful news about real people. Plus, you talk about stuff others do not. Thank you.” 26 Worldview listeners gave $ 9,113 And finally, by Saturday night at 10:00pm Central, 26 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

This week, we're looking back at the Supreme Court case that established the "common use" standard likely to play a major role in its new AR-15 case. That case is 1939's US v. Miller, and we have a guest with brand-new information that unsettles the official story of its namesake. Tulane law professor Brian Frye wrote the definitive account of Miller back in 2008, which ended up heavily influencing the Supreme Court's opinion in 2009's DC v. Heller. But, nearly 20 years later, he says the police and newspaper accounts about Jack Miller's life are now in dispute. Frye recounts the original narrative of the case, which reads like something out of a gangster movie. Miller was accused of being involved in multiple bank robberies, including a simultaneous heist at two Oklahoma banks. He then turned state's evidence and was later murdered by aggrieved gangsters. In between that time, he was arrested under the National Firearms Act (NFA) for transporting an unregistered sawed-off shotgun across state lines. An enterprising judge, who'd backed federal gun control as a congressman, then decided to use his prosecution as a test case for the NFA's constitutionality. In a truncated Supreme Court case that saw no oral arguments, that setup paid off with the High Court, in a fairly narrow ruling, determining that short-barreled shotguns aren't protected by the Second Amendment (or, at least, it didn't have evidence to say they are). It did, however, mention that the Second Amendment would protect guns that are in "common use." And that standard was something the 2009 Court grabbed onto in DC v. Heller, which is likely to play a substantial role in the 2026 Court's forthcoming AR-15 case. But the current understanding of Miller is deeply flawed, according to Frye. After his 2008 paper on the case garnered widespread attention, Frye said he heard from Jack Miller's surviving family members. And they had a very different version of what happened. Instead of being a committed career criminal, Miller's great-granddaughter said he was a persecuted minority living in the shadow of the infamous Tulsa Massacre, who was forced into at least some of the crimes he was involved with. He said he's currently working on a new paper that details the family's claims alongside other evidence, revealing a clearer picture of the story behind the Supreme Court case. Frye said that the local police singled out Miller for his Cherokee background and that they were involved in the bank robberies. He said corrupt police may even have been involved in his arrest for violating the NFA and in his eventual murder. He acknowledged that the family, like the police and papers from the period, has motivation to tell Miller's story a certain way. But he said he believed Miller's great-granddaughter is credible. Still, he noted they are still working on a final draft of the paper.Special Guest: Brian Frye.

Dawn Stensland kicks off Monday's show celebrating a historic hometown triumph as comedian Shane Gillis breaks two world records at Lincoln Financial Field for the largest audience and most tickets sold for a stand-up performance. Joined by Dan Borowski, we break down the massive crowd dynamic, the surprise appearance by Dave Chappelle, and the star-studded Philly athlete turnout featuring Jason Kelsey. Dawn and the crew analyze Gillis's unique cultural appeal to young conservative and moderate males, highlighting how his decision to hire local Philadelphia production crew sets a fantastic example of giving back to his roots. We shift gears to look at the tragic fallout from a shooting in Kensington where two suspects targeted a homeless encampment, killing a defensive three-year-old dog named Buddy. Dawn takes a hard stance against the enablement of open-air drug markets, referencing how local initiatives like the "Kensington Cam" document a slow-motion tragedy that city leaders refuse to resolve. We debate the historical precedents of mental health institutionalization, the legal rulings from the 1980s under the Supreme Court, and why treating these encampments as "compassionate" only fuels an estuary of crime, sexual abuse, and human vulnerability. Finally, Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly join the studio after taking their cameras directly into democratic strongholds in Brooklyn. We watch as they trail Trump-endorsed New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, who is challenging Kathy Hochul by directly confronting small business owners about soaring electric bills and socialist grocery store takeovers. From engaging in impromptu dance-offs with anti-ICE sidewalk protesters at Foley Square to breaking down a developing incendiary device attack at the lower Manhattan federal building, the team proves that showing up to have tough conversations is the only way to shift the political needle. Plus, general manager Road Warrior calls out the guys, forcing them to commit to this Sunday's Families Behind the Badge "Ben to the Shore" bike ride.

This episode featured a conversation with Rahul Sonpimple, founder of the All-India Independent Scheduled Castes Association. Our conversation began with Rahul's conception of Indian history and the place of anti-caste struggle within it. We delved further into Rahul's own understanding of “anti-caste” as deeply rooted in Ambedkar's own argument about the necessity of force in emancipatory social transformation. Rahul was especially forthright about the political cost of elevating meekness as a moral condition, a choice that he associates with the rise of a Dalit middle class focused primarily on securing its own representational authority. This took us to a discussion of the need for an independent and consolidated Dalit politics rooted in the lives of the Dalit poor with sufficient leverage to negotiate terms with the state. The last part of the episode focused on Rahul's critique of both Ambedkarites and Indian Marxists for their disregard of caste as a material question. He spoke at particular length about the failure of Indian Marxists to advance a materalist critique of caste and how their analytical separation of caste and class has played into the hands of the Hindu Right. We ended the episode with Rahul laying out his own definition of Ambedkarism as a material and spiritual politics that recognizes the Dalit poor as a revolutionary class with the potential to rebuild society.

This Day in Legal History: The Declaration of SentimentsOn July 20, 1848, at the close of the two-day Seneca Falls Convention in upstate New York, roughly a hundred people signed the Declaration of Sentiments—the founding document of the organized women's rights movement in the United States. Drafted principally by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, it was a deliberate and pointed act of legal argument: Stanton modeled it on the Declaration of Independence, echoing Jefferson's cadences but adding two words that changed everything—”that all men and women are created equal.”The genius of the document was to take the nation's own founding logic and turn it on the exclusion of half the population. It then catalogued, in the form of a bill of particulars against “man” rather than King George, the specific legal disabilities women lived under. Married women had no right to their own property or wages—under the common-law doctrine of coverture, a wife's legal identity was absorbed into her husband's. Women could not vote, were barred from most professions and higher education, had almost no rights to their own children in the event of separation, and were governed by laws they had no voice in making. The Declaration listed these as concrete legal grievances, not vague complaints, framing the denial of women's rights as a violation of the country's stated principles.The most controversial demand was the resolution calling for women's suffrage, which passed only narrowly and with the public support of Frederick Douglass, who attended the convention. The significance of July 20, 1848 is that it launched a legal and political campaign that would take seventy-two years to win the vote, with the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, and far longer to dismantle coverture and the web of laws built on women's legal subordination. It's a reminder that constitutional principles are not self-executing—that “all men are created equal” had to be argued, expanded, and fought for by the people the original text left out.A federal appeals court has struck down New Jersey's ban on assault firearms and high-capacity magazines, the first time any federal appeals court has invalidated a state assault-weapons ban. Sitting en banc, the Philadelphia-based Third Circuit ruled 10-5 that the state's prohibition on semi-automatic rifles—not just AR-15s, but the whole category—violates the Second Amendment, as does its ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds. The reasoning flows from the Supreme Court's recent framework, which asks whether a gun regulation is consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearms regulation; the majority concluded these bans are not. What makes this a genuinely big deal is the split it creates. Just last week, a different federal appeals court upheld Illinois's ban on semi-automatic weapons—so we now have appeals courts squarely disagreeing on whether these bans are constitutional. That kind of circuit split is precisely the condition that draws the Supreme Court in, and the Court is already poised to take up whether bans on semi-automatic rifles violate the Second Amendment. The significance is that a question affecting roughly a dozen states with similar laws is now barreling toward a definitive answer. For the moment, New Jersey's ban is unenforceable as to these weapons, but the durability of that outcome—and of assault-weapons bans nationwide—now depends on what the Supreme Court does next.US appeals court declares New Jersey's ban on assault rifles unconstitutional | ReutersA federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot rely on a White House budget-office regulation to cancel billions of dollars in grants simply because those grants no longer match its priorities. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston sided with a coalition of Democratic-led states, rejecting the administration's claim that a clause in Office of Management and Budget regulations gave it authority to revoke funding whenever an agency's focus shifts. Here's the underlying principle. When Congress appropriates money for a program and an agency awards grants under it, the government generally can't just take that money back on a whim—grant recipients have relied on it, and the terms for termination are limited. The administration's theory was that an OMB regulation let it terminate grants it deemed “inconsistent with agency priorities,” effectively a roving power to defund causes it disfavors. Judge Talwani found the regulation didn't authorize anything of the kind. The significance connects to a theme we keep returning to: the limits of executive power over money that Congress has already directed. The administration has repeatedly tried to redirect or withhold funds to reshape policy without going through Congress, and courts have repeatedly pushed back. This ruling reinforces that a president's control over federal spending, though real, is bounded—an agency can't retroactively pull grants just because political priorities changed.Trump administration cannot cancel grants for disfavored causes, US judge rules | ReutersA federal judge has declined to block Meta from laying off 26 employees who claim the company's AI tools singled them out for termination because they have disabilities or took medical leave. U.S. District Judge William Orrick in Oakland ruled that the workers hadn't shown the “irreparable harm” needed for an emergency order halting the layoffs, which are set to begin July 22, and that the merits of their novel claims will be decided in private arbitration. The allegations are striking. The plaintiffs—engineers, managers, researchers, and designers suing anonymously—say Meta used a suite of internal AI systems to score and rank employees onto a termination list, including an assistant called “Metamate,” an employee-trained “second brain” that tracked workers' communications, and a productivity score drawn from scanning keystrokes, screen content, emails, and browser history. Meta denies wrongdoing and insists humans, not algorithms, made the layoff decisions. This is a frontier legal question: when an employer uses AI to help decide who gets cut, and those tools allegedly disadvantage people with disabilities or on leave, is that illegal discrimination? The judge's refusal to block the layoffs was procedural—losing a job usually isn't “irreparable” because money damages can fix it—but he pointedly noted the case raises “serious questions” and said he might reconsider based on more evidence about how AI was actually used. The significance is that algorithmic management is colliding with anti-discrimination law, and courts are just beginning to work out who's accountable when the machine does the ranking.US judge won't block Meta from laying off workers who filed AI discrimination lawsuit | ReutersAnd finally, the IRS's top lawyer has been forced out after refusing White House demands that would have drawn him into tax audits of particular taxpayers. Ken Kies, who served as the agency's acting chief counsel and as Treasury's assistant secretary for tax policy, told administration officials their requests would violate a federal law that bars the president, the vice president, and other White House officials from ordering the IRS to conduct or terminate an audit of any specific taxpayer. That statute is a direct legacy of Watergate-era abuses, when presidents tried to sic the tax agency on their enemies, and tax professionals regard it as the single most important safeguard against weaponizing the tax code. Kies apparently stood on that law—and lost his job for it. The story connects directly to one we covered recently: the administration's $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” settlement that would have given the president and his family immunity from IRS audits, which a federal judge struck down as a collusive arrangement with no basis in law. The significance is about the fragile independence of tax administration. The protections that keep audits free from political direction only work if the officials inside the agency are willing to enforce them—and when the person who says “no” to an unlawful demand is pushed out, it sends a chilling message to everyone who remains.

In one of the most anticipated opinions of this Supreme Court Term, Trump v. Barbara questions whether an Executive Order with language that mirrors the Constitution is actually constitutional. I believe that history will remember this opinion as one of the dumbest of any Supreme Court in history.

In this segment, host Charlie James vehemently argues that Senate Republicans must abolish the filibuster while they hold power, rather than clinging to procedural rules or a false sense of morality. Using an analogy of entering a fight with Marquess of Queensberry rules while an opponent carries a knife, he warns that Democrats will eliminate the filibuster immediately upon regaining control to pass their agenda, pack the Supreme Court, and make Washington D.C. a state. James criticizes Republican leadership, including John Thune, for allowing hundreds of beneficial bills to sit in a Senate logjam under the pretense of tradition. A caller, Richard from Greenville, joins the conversation to agree, asserting that many Republicans prefer being in the minority so they can offer excuses rather than face the accountability of governing. Both host and caller conclude that Republicans must fight to implement conservative legislation or step aside for leaders who will.

The Supreme Court blocked Trump's emergency tariff strategy. So why is the tariff agenda already coming back through different laws? David McGarry explains who actually pays tariffs, why the costs multiply, and how protectionism can undermine America's own China strategy. Donald Trump originally relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, commonly called IEEPA, to impose sweeping tariffs. After the Supreme Court rejected that legal theory, the administration turned toward Section 122 tariffs and Section 301 investigations.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Knesset voted early Friday morning to disband itself ahead of the October 27 election, heading into a recess after the coalition’s last-ditch blitz succeeded in passing a spate of controversial legislation into law. Addressing the plenum, Knesset Speaker MK Amir Ohana, of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, called the 25th Knesset the “most challenging” in Israeli history, encompassing Israel's longest war and widespread social upheaval. Schneider takes us back to the beginning of the Knesset session and explains which aspects of the judicial overhaul package have passed -- and what moves the Supreme Court has made to counter some of them. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

In this episode of Wellness Talk, George Batista and John Soto tackle two topics that, at first glance, seem unrelated—but together raise important questions about the choices we make and the lives we lead.George begins by breaking down the recent Supreme Court decision involving Monsanto and Roundup. He explores what the ruling means, why the case has generated so much public attention, and what consumers should consider when evaluating scientific evidence, health risks, corporate responsibility, and the legal system.In the second half of the episode, John shifts the conversation to something every one of us possesses in equal measure—time. Unlike money, time can never be earned back. John explores why time is our most valuable currency, how distractions quietly steal it from us, and whether we're intentionally investing our days in our health, our families, our purpose, and the people who matter most.From legal decisions that can shape public health to the everyday choices that shape our lives, this episode challenges you to think critically, live intentionally, and ask one important question:Are you spending your time... or investing it?*This content is for informational and educational purposes only.

They Made Us Invisible. We Made History.In 1881, the city of Chicago made it illegal to be visibly disabled in public. The fine was one dollar per offense — roughly thirty dollars today — for the crime of existing where someone could see you. Those laws stayed on the books in American cities until 1974.This Disability Pride Month, K and L look at four women the history books “forgot” Plus: the Black Panther who saved the longest nonviolent federal building occupation in U.S. history, the Supreme Court ruling that has never been overturned, and why the people who fought the hardest are the ones you've never heard of.The erasure is part of the system. Not anymore.

Bad Bunny is in the news this week for two main reasons: a major concert cancellation in Milan because of severe weather, and renewed social-media buzz around his relationship history with Gabriela Berlingeri. Recent coverage also points to ongoing public interest in his next music move, including speculation about new releases tied to his tour cycle. According to The Guardian, his July 18 concert in Milan was abruptly suspended after thunderstorms and hail hit the venue, and organizers said the area was evacuated safely and ticket holders would receive full refunds[11]. RPP in Peru reported the same evacuation, saying the second and final Milan show was affected by a strong storm and that tens of thousands of fans were impacted[9]. Mirror also reported that the show was canceled after hail and severe weather, with refunds promised to ticket holders[4]. For listeners following the tour, this is the clearest verified headline from the past week. On social media and in entertainment coverage, Bad Bunny has also been linked again to Gabriela Berlingeri. El Heraldo de México reported that the two were seen together in Sweden, adding to earlier sightings in Düsseldorf and Wimbledon and fueling reconciliation rumors[1]. Libertad Digital similarly described the pair as appearing close during his European tour, though neither has confirmed any romantic restart[2]. That means the relationship chatter is still speculation, not confirmed news. There is also older but still relevant legal news continuing to follow him. WDR reported that the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico allowed his former partner Carliz de la Cruz Hernández to continue pursuing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against him[3]. That case remains part of the broader conversation around the artist, even if it is not the newest development this week. Music-fan chatter is also building around possible future releases. One music-site post described a blurry social-media tease that set off speculation about a summer album tracklist, though it was framed as anticipation rather than confirmed reporting[10]. Separately, El Nuevo Día reported that a mysterious post from his team sparked hopes among followers about a possible Puerto Rico finale for the tour[14]. Those items show strong fan interest, but they do not confirm any new album or surprise drop. The most solid takeaway for listeners is that Bad Bunny's current news cycle is being driven by live-tour disruption in Milan, fresh gossip surrounding Gabriela Berlingeri, and steady speculation about what he will do next musically[11][1][10].

With a war he doesn't know how to finish it seems the Trump plan, given the Iran problem will reflect badly for him in the midterms, is to gerrymander the vote by pretending they have an emergency. That was largely the point of Friday's speech, which contained a re-issuing of old material, none of which specifically claimed his famed 2020 election was stolen. A couple of polls out over the weekend have; 1) His approval rating for the war and the economy down, 2) The overall view of personal financial circumstances at multi-year lows. Americans are miserable. Oh, and import prices out over the weekend as well were way higher than expected, which of course means everything gets more expensive for those already miserable and adds to inflation. And that's before the 30-year fixed mortgage is now mid 6%. So once again, multi-year highs and killing any summer house-buying sentiment. Faced with all that, stacking an election would seem the only way to move forward. Whether he can pull it off will be interesting and worrying to watch. You wonder if at some point even the Republicans who have stayed the course with the increasing amounts of madness might see it as a bridge too far. It looks increasingly obvious that America is run by a dictator, if not in reality, certainly in his own mind. His whole second term has been about testing the boundaries of presidential power, mainly thanks to the Supreme Court, in a futile fashion. But the plan appears to be to try ten things and maybe win two. An emergency around voting will be another test of the system. Ironically this should be fertile ground for the Democrats. But they are busy pulling themselves apart as they scrap over progressive madness driven by the Mamdani brigade vs centralism as led by the likes of Gavin Newsom. But one of the aforementioned polls only gave them a four point edge on congressional success. All that madness and corruption in the White House and you still can't muster a runaway lead? How broken does that make the place look? Which would be fine if this was Poland or Turkey. But it's America and America counts, which is why we should all be worried. It can't end well.

President Trump's latest push to codify the SAVE America Act included a primetime address declassifying intelligence reports on foreign election meddling, yet firm opposition to the bill still remains within the GOP. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Rundown to explain why the bill is a hard sell for Senate Republicans, and how foreign aid to Israel is widening intra-party rifts among Democrats. Later, FOX News Chief Legal Correspondent Shannon Bream explains why two Supreme Court justices are requesting extra funding for security.

SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE CLICKED DISLIKE AND THE TICKETS SOLD OUT ANYWAY Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opens tonight, and we're asking what it actually proves when the audience objects for eighteen months and Hollywood gets paid regardless. Then we walk through the Supreme Court quote everybody shared this week that Amy Coney Barrett never said, and what it costs us when we're the ones who stopped checking. We get into a Gen X psychiatrist's list of six things people miss about the eighties that reads like an inventory of liberties somebody took, the Wall Street Journal's push to rebrand middle age as "prime time" while the median first-time home buyer hits forty, employers quietly dropping marijuana screening because they can't find enough applicants, and the two-hundred-dollar-an-hour trainers selling American men longevity one hip thrust at a time.

Guest Host: John Gerardi The Third Circuit Court of Appeals struck down New Jersey’s ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, finding that both violate the Second Amendment. The ruling is the first of its kind at the federal appellate level and could have major implications for similar gun-control laws across the United States as the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on related cases.

Then come the numbers. A Center for Strategic and International Studies report covering 1994 through 2020 found that right-wing extremists carried out the large majority of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the United States, roughly two-thirds in 2019 and over 90 percent in early 2020, and were responsible for 335 of 357 domestic terror deaths across that period, about 93 percent. None of that appears in Miller's speech. Hawk's argument is that "political terrorist" here functions as a label for anyone who disagrees with Donald Trump, not a description of violence. He points to Republicans controlling the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court as evidence against the radical-left-domination framing, and asks basic questions about an organization no one can locate.

Aughie and Nia finish this year's big Supreme Court rulings with three cases: Chatrie v United States, Monsanto Company v Durnell, and Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections and Public Safety. Chatrie centered on the use of geofencing warrants under the 4th Amendment. Monsanto argued that only the EPA could label its products cancer-causing, which the EPA has declined to do. Landor centered on immunity of guards to be individually sued for violating a prisoner's religious rights.

The Supreme Court just closed out its most consequential term in a generation — gutting the Voting Rights Act, ending 90 years of independent agency precedent and testing the limits of presidential power.Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias hosted a panel of legal experts to break down the key decisions shaping democracy: Janai Nelson, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, who argued Louisiana v. Callais before the Supreme Court; Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama; and Cody Wofsy, deputy director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, who was lead attorney in the lower courts on Trump v. Barbara and part of the team that defended it before the Supreme Court.
