The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine? This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended. In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.

Supporters of conservative-backed Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel included the possibility that liberal-backed Susan Crawford would sign on to new congressional district maps for Wisconsin. As JR Ross of WisPolitics.com details, that may not be so easy.
Embattled MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has reemerged, and he's just as crazy as he ever was - and maybe even a little worse. Lindell appeared on Real America's Voice this week to make the insane claim that Susan Crawford could not have possibly won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, so he's going to be "investigating" what happened. We've seen Lindell's "investigations" in the past, and none of them produced any actual evidence of wrongdoing or fraud.Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs on foreign goods are now in effect, and financial analysts and economists are warning that these tariffs will cost the average family a little over $4,000 per year. The cost of food alone could rise by over 3%, and big ticket items could see their prices go up by hundreds or thousands of dollars a piece - everything from refrigerators to cars. Trump doesn't seem to care because he has no idea why he's even doing this in the first place.Elon Musk's America PAC has been hit with a lawsuit from a MAGA canvasser who says that he never received the promised payments for going door to door and gathering signatures for Musk's group. There were allegations during the campaign that these canvassers were not being compensated as Musk had promised, and now those alleged broken promises are going to become a legal headache for the world's richest man.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Milfred and Hands dissect Elon Musk’s impact on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race last week and look ahead to next year’s midterm elections in the swing state and beyond. President Donald Trump's billionaire buddy spent more than $20 million trying to elect Judge Brad Schimel to the Badger State's top court. Musk and Schimel failed in a blowout to Justice-elect Susan Crawford, who won by a quarter-million votes. A left-leaning majority will now hold the court until at least 2028, which would keep abortion legal and force changes to Wisconsin's congressional districts. Musk's lottery-like antics and fake-cheese persona turned off more voters than it charmed.
Donald Trump unveiled his so-called "Liberation Day" plans this week. On Wednesday he announced a slew of tariffs that will affect goods being imported into the U.S.Elon Musk took a hit in Wisconsin. Liberal candidate Susan Crawford emerged victorious in the special election to the state's Supreme Court.Meanwhile, the White House is working to find countries that will take migrants deported from the U.S. Reporting this week found that the Trump Administration has contacted governments in South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe.The war in Gaza is the deadliest for journalists in history. French politician and far-right leader Marine le Pen was barred from running for public office for half a decade as she was found guilty of embezzlement by a court in Paris.Want to support 1A?

Democrats have been struggling with low favorability since last November, but recent special elections in Wisconsin and Florida might suggest things are looking up. Liberal judge Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court this week, despite Elon Musk investing $25 million towards conservative Brad Schimel's campaign. Two House seats went up for grabs in Florida. Both went to Republicans, but Democrats lost by smaller margins than previous polls suggested they would. Can Democrats spin these results as a win? Over at the White House, President Trump declared April 2 as “Liberation Day.” He introduced steep tariffs on countries across the world, promising to “make America wealthy again.” While Trump promises an American manufacturing boom, economists predict the tariffs could slow the U.S.' financial growth. Some on the left and the right argue that might be a good thing. “De-growth,” the idea that reducing growth could create a more sustainable economy, has been gaining traction across the aisle. Are these tariffs what people want? Trump continued to stir the pot this week when he used an NBC News appearance to float the idea of running for a third term. Despite the two-term limit outlined in the 22nd Amendment, Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker that “there are methods” around it. How legitimate are these “methods?” Should voters be concerned about a third Trump term?

Today's Headlines: Wisconsin's Supreme Court election saw record turnout and spending, with liberal-leaning Judge Susan Crawford defeating Elon Musk-backed Brad Schimel, shifting the court's balance. Hours later, reports emerged that Trump plans to distance himself from Musk, whose tough week continued as Tesla sales dropped 13%, and shares tumbled 44% since December. Meanwhile, Trump's new tariffs—hitting China with a 54% effective rate and raising import costs across the board—sent the stock market into a tailspin, disproportionately impacting middle- and low-income Americans. Notably absent from the tariff list: Russia, as a top Putin ally, quietly visited Washington. Elsewhere, Amazon made a surprise bid for TikTok ahead of a looming sale deadline, and NYC Mayor Eric Adams' corruption case was dismissed.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
It's Thursday, April 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 46 physical attacks on Christians in Israel last year Attacks on Christians in Israel increased last year according to a report from the Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue. Christians in Israel suffered 111 attacks in 2024, including 46 physical attacks. The report noted, “The most common form of physical harassment is spitting—a long-standing issue that has escalated from subtle incidents to openly aggressive acts. Clergy are now regularly harassed in public spaces.” Perpetrators are generally Jewish young men from ultra-Orthodox circles. Chinese saber-rattling against Taiwan prompting Christians to pray The Chinese military carried out large-scale drills around Taiwan on Tuesday. China claims self-ruled Taiwan as a breakaway province and has not ruled out force to bring it under Beijing's control. Such saber-rattling has left many in Taiwan uneasy. But Christians across the island nation are uniting in prayer for revival, unity, repentance, and protection. People are praying every day for 24 hours a day. The number of prayer groups has reached 40,000 with about five members per group. Brian Liu, Pastor at Shekinah House of Bread of Life, spoke to CBN News, LIU: “The united prayers and fasting prayers of the churches in Taiwan are much more than ever before. It's an unprecedented prayer movement.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Republicans win two Florida congressional seats In the United States, Republicans won special elections on Tuesday for two Florida congressional districts. Former state Sen. Randy Fine won the open U.S. House seat in Florida's 6th Congressional District, replacing Mike Waltz who is now President Donald Trump's national security adviser. And Republican Jimmy Patronis won the state's 1st Congressional District which was previously held by former Rep. Matt Gaetz. The victories maintain the GOP's slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats won Wisconsin Supreme Court seat However, Democrats won a Supreme Court race in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Democrat-backed judge Susan Crawford defeated Trump-backed judge Brad Schimel 55% to 45%. Crawford previously served as an attorney for Planned Parenthood. She fought against a law for women's safety which would have required abortion mills to have hospital admitting privileges. And Crawford fought against a law that would have prevented women from being coerced into abortion. Her victory maintains a liberal majority on the court which may hear important cases on abortion and congressional maps and redistricting. Specifically, Democrats are eager to insert a so-called right to abortion in the Wisconsin Constitution and redistrict previously safe Republican districts into Democrat ones, ensuring that Trump will lose his slim House majority which would deep-six his legislative agenda. Kelsey Pritchard, Communications Director of the pro-life Women Speak Out PAC, said, “Republican voters should heed this race as a warning on becoming complacent following the wins last November. “We must be engaged as we enter the mid-terms and show up to the polls next year so that the Trump administration's progress is not reversed. Otherwise, Democrats will fulfill the abortion lobby's agenda for the elimination of parental rights and all-trimester abortion funded by the taxpayer.” It was the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history with over $90 million spent. That included $20 million from tech billionaire Elon Musk for Brad Schimel. South Carolina eager to end Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in an abortion funding case yesterday. The state of South Carolina is trying to end Medicaid funding for abortion giant Planned Parenthood. The Palmetto state has the support of the Trump administration and 18 other states. Alliance Defending Freedom is representing South Carolina in the case. John Bursch, their Senior Counsel, said, “Taxpayer dollars should never be used to fund facilities that profit off abortion and distribute dangerous gender-transition drugs to minors.” Wyoming no longer requires homeschoolers to get gov't approval Back at the end of February, Wyoming's Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed the Homeschool Freedom Act into law. Homeschool families in the state are no longer required to notify or check in with the government to educate their children. Wyoming is the 12th state in the nation to end such requirements and the first to do so by legislation. The Home School Legal Defense Association supported the bill. Christian astronaut trusted God despite 9-month delay in space And finally, a Christian astronaut shared his story with CBN News after being stuck in space for nine months. NASA Astronaut Barry Wilmore was planning for an eight-day mission to the International Space Station last year. But technical complications delayed his return until last month. Wilmore said God's sovereignty sustained him during the extended journey. He even led church devotionals while in orbit and sang “Amazing Grace” with fellow astronauts. He said he trusted God's plan. WILMORE: “The Lord's plan and His purpose. I'm okay with it. Whatever. Is it my plan? No, but my plans are not usually the good plans, are the right plans. And the Lord's [plans] always are, regardless of what takes place. God's word is clear, and I believe it because I've lived it. God is always good.” Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, April 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Susan Crawford wins Wisconsin Supreme Court race, defying Elon Musk
Tonight on The Last Word: NBC News projects Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, beating Trump-Musk candidate Brad Schimel. And Sen. Cory Booker makes history with a 25-hour Senate speech. Shaq Brewster, House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, and Ben Wikler join Lawrence O'Donnell.
It's Wednesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Robert Weissman, co-president of the non-profit advocacy organization Public Citizen, which has filed 8 lawsuits against the Trump administration and says they have more coming. Later, Rohan Grey, Assistant Professor of Law at Willamette University, discusses his latest research on the Trump administration's attempt to seize direct political control over the core payments software of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which handles spending for most of the federal government, to block funds to politically disfavored agencies and programs. First, they run through updates on the victory by liberal Susan Crawford in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Democrats' growing margins in deep-red regions, Trump's tariff fears, the GOP's anger at proxy voting for new parents, Mike Waltz Gmail whoopsie, Senator Cory Booker's marathon filibuster, the closure of free measles vaccine clinics in Texas amid a breakout, Ed Martin nomination for D.C. U.S. Attorney, Tesla's tanking earnings, and the Senate GOP's budget reconciliation, before expanding on the beautiful revelations around the toxicity of Elon Musk in US politics as seen in the incredible leftward swing amid his intense campaigning for conservative Brad Schimel Wisconsin. Robert Weissman then joins, first previewing the typical work of Public Citizen including advocacy, litigation, and organizing on behalf of the public against corporations, touching on everything from trade and consumer financial protection to drug pricing and campaign finance laws. Weissman then unpacks Public Citizens tactical shift under Trump 2.0, walking through the various legal battles they have taken on against Trump's attempt to dismantle the federal U.S. government through executive reform, with a particular focus on their case to save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – an agency birthed from the 2008 Financial Crisis' overwhelming impact on consumers – also touching on their effort to protect USAID and the Department of Education. Robert, Sam, and Emma expand on these lawsuits' ultimate goal of preventing the full-scale deletion of these agencies, understanding that, even with success, the Trump Administration will constantly be searching for (and finding) new ways to obstruct any accountability or pushback from this project, and focusing instead on ensuring the potential of rebuilding under future leadership, before wrapping up by looking to the upcoming fights over Trump's insistence on using his executive power to fire any and everybody, and the role of “national emergencies” in bolstering executive power. Rohan Grey then joins, diving right into Elon Musk's outrageous (and obviously untrustworthy) agenda of digitizing America's fiscal regime, stepping back to walk through the process by which US fiscal policy operates, with said policy – be it spending, taxation, issuing debt, etc – originating in Congressional legislation, moving through the Office of Management and Budget under the President to manage the allocated spending over the allotted time, to the Treasury's instructions with the Federal Reserve as the ultimate entity in charge of the dollars. After expanding on the utter absurdity of Elon's plan – outside of if, perhaps, you wanted to completely rid the system of accountability or pushback – Rohan, Sam, and Emma parse through DOGE's opaque takeover of the Bureau of Financial Services amid their project to indiscriminately cut funds, including Elon setting up an obvious assault on Social Security, wrapping up by expanding on what a botched system shift for the federal payment systems would look like, and assessing a more realistic idea for bringing our systems into the modern era. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma listen to Wisconsin Justice Susan Crawford celebrate winning an election against tens of millions of Elon Musk's money, unpack Elon's very-related copium, and watch Fox try to justify the extensive negative impact Trump's tariffs will have on the American people. The MR Crew also touches on Cory Booker's marathon filibuster (and the tactics underneath it), admires Lauren Boebert's self-assured idiocy, and dissects the blatant inhumanity on display with the Trump Administration's justification for their indiscriminate renditioning of migrants – legal or not – to a Salvadoran gulag, plus, your IMs!

Today is Liberation Day, but it doesn't feel like it. What should have been a day to celebrate the beginning of Trump's tariffs has been overshadowed by the election of Susan Crawford in Wisconsin. ConInc influencers like Scott Presler want to blame the conservative vote, even though there was a massive turnout. The truth? The conservatives lost this election because the Democrats did what Democrats do best: they cheated via mail-in ballots, early voting, and the machines. Now Presler is blocking anyone who points this inconsistency out. One has to ask why he and others in ConInc refuse to acknowledge the obvious issue with the machines. Who is paying these influencers, and are they as effective as they say? Next up, Sheila Matthews of AbleChild joins the show to talk all things Thomas Crook and the ongoing investigation into the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on Trump. Congressman Kelly leads the task force investigating this case, yet no new information has come out. What's really going on? Sheila Matthews gives the scoop. All this and more on today's Untamed.

Wisconsin voters overwhelmingly approve Trump-backed voter ID in elections, but the state Supreme Court battle goes handily (by 9 points) to the DEMOCRAT, Susan Crawford? How does that make sense? America sees more clearly its lame brain representation in Congress when Hank Johnson opens his mouth. The Dems' new low 21% approval is not helped by unintelligent embarrassments who struggle to sell whatever the left is peddling. An accused Tesla firebug FAFO.
On Tuesday, voters in Florida elected two new U.S. representatives, while Wisconsin voters selected a new state Supreme Court justice. The races were the first general elections since President Donald Trump took office in January. In Florida, Republican candidates Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine defeated their Democratic opponents, preserving House Republicans' narrow majority. In Wisconsin, the Democrat-backed Susan Crawford defeated the Republican-backed Brad Schimel, maintaining the court's 4-3 liberal majority.

Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, now president of Young America's Foundation, joined The Guy Benson Show to break down the tough election night for conservatives in Wisconsin, where liberal Supreme Court judge Susan Crawford defeated conservative Brad Schimel. Walker discussed what went wrong for conservatives, what made the difference in Wisconsin compared to the special election in Florida, and what Republicans need to do to start winning these key races. Despite the setback, he pointed to a silver lining - the passage of a constitutional amendment in Wisconsin requiring voter ID. Listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

Senator Cory Booker stood up yesterday - actually, the day before - an made history. Not only did he break former senator and lifelong racist Strom Thurmond's record for the longest senate speech in history, he also used it to denounce Thurmond's racism and the shameful chapter in American history he tried to prolong. Booker's speech and feats of strength also seems to have breathed new life into dejected Democrats, as he implored each of us to do what we can to save our nation from the ravages of Dump and his army of magats.When Senator Booker ended his historic speech, the special election returns began rolling in. Florida disappointed us again, eventhough the margin of the GOP victory shrunk by half in the two districts that went to the polls. But Wisconsin showed up to save democracy, as the Musk/Dump-endorsed candidate for that state's Supreme Court was soundly defeated by Susan Crawford, with a 10 point victory. For once, Elmo's millions couldn't buy that election...As I'm prepping for today's show, we're awaiting word from the orange man about how much more pain and suffering he'll inflict on the America people today as he declares it "liberation day" and announces yet more tariff's to cripple our economy and our spending power. The always amazing Lisa Graves joins us today in her personal capacity to share her legal expertise on all that's going on, especially the big WIN in Wisconsin, where she lives.
Despite the 28 million dollars that Elon Musk splashed out on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race, his candidate, Republican Brad Schimel lost. County judge Susan Crawford's victory means the nonpartisan court's 4-3 liberal majority will remain in place. More lies from Elon Musk. We already know that he spread around lies that millions of dead people are collecting Social Security. Now, he's saying noncitizens are getting Social Security cards and using them to get benefits and to vote. The lies are another effort by Musk to justify massive governmental cuts. We'll talk about it with presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann. It's the planet stupid brings our eco-journalist Belinda Waymouth to the show. She has good news about a couple actions humans taking to help wild animals survive in a changing landscape.
The Democrat nominee, Susan Crawford, won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race against Republican Brad Schimel. Meanwhile both Florida Congressional races went to the GOP, but the winning margin was smaller than in past elections. Is this a sign of things to come in the midterms? Or is the media overhyping these results?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Political analyst Steve Cortes discusses the significance of the April 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election and a voter ID referendum. The Supreme Court race is tied, with 87% of Wisconsinites supporting voter ID. Steve Cortes highlights Susan Crawford's opposition to voter ID and her potential impact on future elections, including redistricting. The Catholic vote, crucial in Wisconsin, could sway the outcome. Elon Musk's efforts in Wisconsin are noted for raising awareness. Additional interview with Randy Fine, a candidate in a battle in Florida, gives John an update on his campaign and shares his perspective on outside money coming into play in his race. Finally, Caleb Burns discusses the potential landmark case of United States v. Alexander Sittenfeld, a city councilman accused of accepting a campaign contribution in exchange for a vote on a development project. Despite Sittenfeld's denial of corrupt intent, he was convicted based on inferences. The case highlights concerns about the weaponization and criminalization of politics, the FBI's role in entrapment, and the federalization of state crimes through the Hobbs Act.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wisconsin voters will head to the polls Tuesday (if they haven't already) to choose a new member of the State Supreme Court. The race between two state circuit court judges — liberal Susan Crawford and conservative Brad Schimel — is now the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, in no small part because the winner will decide control of the key swing state's highest court. But also because Elon Musk and his allies have been pouring millions into the race. Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, explains what's at stake in Tuesday's race.And in headlines: President Donald Trump called up NBC to say some crazy shit, Iran rejected direct negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program, and the death toll from a massive earthquake in Myanmar climbed to around 1,700.Show notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat 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
MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Monday, March 31, and reports on stock market lows under the Trump administration, Trump's comments about the possibility of seeking a third term and the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Plus, Lawrence Wright and Bill de Blasio join for the latest Fallback installment. Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford also joins.
Conservative judicial candidate Brad Schimel and Democratic-backed judge Susan Crawford are the ones on the ballot in Tuesday's election. But it's Elon Musk who's drawing outsized attention in the race for an open seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court.That's because the billionaire and his super PAC are pumping money into a race that Republicans claim could decide the fate of the country. Democrats, meanwhile, are also spending millions, hoping that painting Musk as the ultimate villain of the race will inspire their base to turnout. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks to Wisconsin-based reporter Patrick Marley about how the cash is being spent and the strategy behind it all. Today's show was produced by Laura Benshoff. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Dan Eggen. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
