New voting restrictions across the country are threatening to make it harder for millions of Americans to participate in elections. In some states, these barriers have thrown long-registered voters into limbo, as Arizona voter James Wilson learned when he nearly lost his ability to vote because of strict new proof-of-citizenship rules. In this season finale, Democracy Decoded examines how these barriers to voting — along with an administration actively attempting to curtail the freedom to vote and a Supreme Court with voting rights cases on its docket — are reshaping access to the ballot.Host Simone Leeper speaks with election law scholar Rick Hasen and Campaign Legal Center's voting rights expert Danielle Lang to unpack the rise of new barriers to voting, the future of the Voting Rights Act, the dangers of executive overreach, and the policy solutions and reforms needed to secure the freedom to vote in 2026 and beyond.Timestamps:(00:00) — How did one Arizona voter nearly lose his right to vote?(04:35) — Why are federal actions now threatening elections?(06:50) — How do proof-of-citizenship laws disenfranchise voters?(11:48) — What happened inside Arizona's dual-track voting system?(15:32) — Who is most affected by modern voting restrictions?(21:36) — What role has the federal government historically played in protecting voting rights?(23:49) — Why is the SAVE Act so bad for voting rights?(25:16) — What is Campaign Legal Center doing to protect the freedom to vote in Louisiana?(28:38) — What is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act?(30:06) — What is the Turtle Mountain v.

If you're dreading your family's lack of communication this Thanksgiving, here's a conversation about another group that's saying less and less with real consequences. In this rebroadcast, University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck joins The Modern Law Library to discuss The Shadow Docket and how the Supreme Court's growing use of secretive, unsigned emergency orders is reshaping transparency, civic discourse, and public trust in the rule of law. ----- In The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic, University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck argues the U.S. Supreme Court is expanding its powers at the expense of the rule of law and public transparency. A case ordinarily comes before the U.S. Supreme Court after a long appellate process; receives a public hearing where the case is argued before the justices; then a signed opinion or series of opinions and a majority ruling are issued, which generally comes months after oral arguments—and years after a matter first entered the court system. Given the limited length of each Supreme Court term, there has always been the need for an alternative form of response when the court is not in session or a swift response was absolutely necessary. The vast bulk of those occasions have been in capital cases, where a last-minute appeal might be the difference between life and death. But since 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued many more emergency orders than at any time previously, and on matters ranging from election law to immigration bans, from abortion access to COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings. By issuing unsigned majority emergency orders rather than signed majority opinions, Vladeck says the court is establishing precedents without supplying the legal reasonings behind its rulings. During a time when the U.S. Supreme Court and individual justices are being criticized for not abiding by a clear judicial code of ethics, Vladeck argues the secretive nature of the shadow docket will only further undermine public trust in the rule of law. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Vladeck discusses with the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles the origin of the term “shadow docket,” the dangers he sees for the court and the country, and what remedies may be available to the republic.

“Does Purgatory Undermine Jesus’ Sacrifice?” This episode explores the relationship between Jesus’ sacrifice and the concept of purgatory, addressing whether it diminishes His atonement. Additionally, we delve into questions about the nature of salvation, the significance of the Eucharist, and the practices surrounding communion and adoration. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 05:45 – If Jesus' death on the cross was sufficient to take away all sin, and all the punishment for sin, then why would anyone need to suffer for sins after death, like in purgatory? Wouldn't purgatory be an insult to what Jesus already accomplished? 19:24 – I think Catholicism preaches a different Jesus and a different salvation. Specific issue about salvation on eternal security? 34:40 – Is the Eucharist the end all be all? 47:17 – Why can't the soul in purgatory pray for themselves? 51:49 – Where does the practice of kneeling for communion come from and where did adoration come from?

Mack Story unpacks the subtle yet powerful ways distrust creeps into relationships, both personal and professional, often without us realizing it.By sharing practical strategies, Mack equips listeners to recognize and counteract distrust, fostering stronger, more resilient connections with their teams and loved ones.Mack explains how seemingly minor actions—like forgetting to say thank you, ignoring a colleague, or taking someone's efforts for granted—can create distrust faster than trust is built, as distrust taps directly into our emotions.Drawing from personal anecdotes, like his appreciation for his wife Ria's cooking, Mack illustrates how automatic or accidental distrust accumulates over time, especially with those closest to us. He emphasizes that without intentional trust-building efforts, relationships risk deteriorating into divorce, workplace conflicts, or stagnation, using real-world examples to highlight the stakes in blue-collar environments.Mack challenges leaders to offset unintentional distrust by actively building trust through consistent, caring actions, such as acknowledging others' contributions or showing genuine respect.Mack contrasts the ease of reconnecting with old friends—where trust remains intact due to time apart—with the daily erosion that occurs in close relationships when trust isn't nurtured.

John Rush kicks off Rush to Reason with a fiery take on faith and outrage, questioning why so many Christians overreacted to a simple, compassionate moment between Vice President JD Vance and Erica Kirk. Is this a sign of moral decay—or just misplaced judgment? Then, financial expert David Stryzewski of Sound Planning Group (https://myspg.com/) joins the show to unpack the realities behind America's economy, from the government shutdown to inflation and jobs. Are we really in crisis—or is the media fueling fear for political gain? Together, they challenge listeners to think critically about faith, finance, and common sense in today's culture. HOUR 2 In this gripping hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush takes listeners from the rise of government control to the drama of the playing field. With guest Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (https://www.texaspolicy.com), he exposes how programs like SNAP and EBT have transformed from safety nets into tools of dependency and control. Have Americans traded self-reliance for comfort—and freedom for convenience? As callers weigh in, the conversation widens to New York's Marxist politics, before pivoting to sports, where John and Richard Rush tackle the future of Major League Baseball, Broncos football, and Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes. Will baseball face reform? Can Denver turn narrow wins into a comeback season? And is Coach Prime's bold vision already on the line? This hour delivers high-stakes questions, cultural insight, and the kind of truth-telling that keeps listeners thinking long after the mic goes silent. HOUR 3 In this powerful hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush dives into the crossroads of AI, politics, and personal responsibility. What happens when technology becomes too powerful—and too political? Guest Brendan Steinhauser from the Alliance for Secure AI (https://secureainow.org) warns of China's race to dominate artificial intelligence and the dangers of losing control over the very tools shaping humanity's future. Then, Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee exposes how unions and politics intertwine to manipulate workers and elections. As the hour unfolds, John tackles America's growing dependency crisis, asking why 4 out of 10 citizens rely on government aid. Have we forgotten the dignity of work? Are we trading freedom for comfort? From global tech threats to national work ethic, this episode confronts the biggest question of all—can America stay free in a world that rewards dependence?

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore the subtle but powerful dynamic of sentimental projection—how unspoken emotional expectations can unintentionally set the people we love up to fail.From birthdays to anniversaries and “special moments,” we often attach deep meaning to gestures that others may not even see. Ash and Dave unpack how these expectations, when unspoken, can create quiet resentment—and how to move toward collaboration, communication, and compassion instead.Together, they reflect on how to set each other up for success in relationships through emotional intelligence, perspective-taking, and a shared understanding of what celebration truly means.In this episode:What sentimental projection is—and how it shows up in daily lifeThe emotional wiring difference between partners and why it mattersHow unspoken expectations can create unnecessary pressureWhat it means to “celebrate with” rather than “celebrate for” someoneBuilding connection through curiosity, not correctionHow to communicate your needs without shame or blameReflection Prompts:Where do your emotional expectations come from—past or present?How can you express what you value without making it a test of love?What would “setting your partner up for success” look like for you?

AI assistants are currently misrepresenting news content 45% of the time, according to a study by the European Broadcasting Union. This research, which evaluated 3,000 responses from popular AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Google Gemini, revealed that 31% of responses had serious sourcing issues, while 30% contained inaccuracies. Notably, Google's Gemini performed the worst, with 76% of its outputs flawed. This raises significant concerns about the reliability of AI in disseminating information, particularly as these tools increasingly serve as intermediaries between users and content.In addition to issues of accuracy, a study from Stanford and Harvard found that AI chatbots tend to flatter users rather than challenge them, validating user behavior 50% more than human counterparts. This tendency to agree rather than provide constructive feedback can lead to a lack of critical engagement, further complicating the role of AI in decision-making processes. Furthermore, the Wikimedia Foundation reported an 8% decline in human traffic to Wikipedia, attributed to generative AI chatbots and search engines that provide direct answers without redirecting users to original sources. This trend highlights the growing challenge faced by platforms reliant on user engagement.The episode also discusses advancements in AI capabilities from major players like Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Microsoft has introduced updates to its CoPilot AI assistant, including a group chat feature and a new Real Talk mode that encourages more dynamic interactions. OpenAI's ChatGPT can now search across multiple applications, while Anthropic's Claude has introduced a memory feature that retains past conversations. These developments indicate a shift towards more integrated and context-aware AI systems that can enhance collaboration and user experience.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, the implications are clear. The effectiveness of AI now hinges on context, governance, and integration rather than just model size. As AI tools become more prevalent, the responsibility for ensuring their safe and effective use falls on providers. This presents an opportunity for MSPs to develop new service lines focused on AI hygiene and governance, helping clients navigate the complexities of AI while maximizing its potential benefits.Four things to know today 00:00 The Limits of AI: Research Shows Chatbots Mislead, Overagree, and Undermine the Information Ecosystem04:27 A 1997 PC Running AI?

A decade ago, nearly every country in the world adopted the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the rise in global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius by 2100. Member nations are required under the legally binding treaty to submit every five years their climate action plans, or Nationally Determined Contributions, that detail the voluntary actions they commit to take to cut their carbon emissions.    The treaty couldn’t have come at a more urgent time. Last year was Earth’s hottest year on record, including the first year to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial levels. Still, the Paris Agreement has allowed countries to make some modest progress on cutting emissions and slowing the arrival of the 2 degrees Celsius tipping point that experts warn could trigger irreversible and catastrophic climate change impacts.  But a new study led by the University of Washington found that those carbon-cutting gains are not great enough to offset the environmental costs of global economic growth, which has risen sharply over the past decade. The study also projects how Pres. Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the Paris Agreement for a second time may affect the collective, international effort to fight climate change. Adrian Raftery, a professor emeritus of statistics and sociology at University of Washington, joins us for more details.

The law is being broken, our country is being damaged, and there are foreign actors involved. It's a plan for both sponsoring and shaping civil disorder and unrest. Included are disruption of Federal facilities. We have the receipts. It's a conspiracy to defraud the United States and inhibit it's function. This is seditious conspiracy. Material support and training for terrorism is being whitewashed. Call it violent extremism, because that's what it is. Multi-national trainers sharing lessons and tactics. Car bombs were part of the orientation. Wells Fargo and Obama money moves. Go Fund Me is involved too. They are training people to train more people. Decentralization is their modus operandi. The goal is always to create civil unrest and make it seem organic. They are into the collapsing pillar theory. Simplistic thinking seems to work for them. Imagine if all that effort was used for good. Feeling frustrated or off to the side? Try to see the future you, and how today's actions reflect on your character.

HEADLINE: China's Economic Contradictions: Deflation and Consumer Wariness Undermine GDP Growth ClaimsGUEST NAME: Fraser Howie SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Fraser Howie about China facing severe economic contradictions despite high World Bank forecasts. Deflation remains rampant with frequently negative CPI and PPI figures. Consumer wariness and high youth unemployment at one in seven persist throughout the economy. The GDP growth figure is viewed as untrustworthy, manufactured through debt in a command economy. Decreased container ship arrivals point to limited actual growth, exacerbated by higher US tariffs. Economic reforms appear unlikely as centralization under Xi Jinping continues.

Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine. Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners.  1935 TAIWAN UNDER JAPAN

This last Supreme Court term was harrowing—from momentous merits decisions about the First Amendment, parental rights, trans rights and more, to the stream of shocking “shadow docket” decisions and its enabling of many of the Trump administration's executive actions. What does the 2025-2026 term have in store for our nation? What do we think will advance through the Court? What do we think will come up, when it comes to the shadow docket? And perhaps most importantly, how will the Court choose to mediate the Trump administration's continued onslaught of executive actions?Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight is our very special guest, Steve Vladeck: Steve Vladeck is a professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center, and a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts; the Supreme Court; national security law; and military justice.

What happens when law firms give in to political pressure? In this clip from See You In Court, our guests explain why capitulating to the administration undermines the independence of the legal profession — and how clients are noticing. Some firms have lost clients who asked, “If you won't stand up for yourself, how can I expect you to fight for me?” Others have gained respect and trust by standing firm.

The Constitution gives states and Congress the power to run elections, and the president has virtually no role in the process. Yet President Trump ignored this fact and issued an executive order in March that aims to overhaul the nation's election systems. His administration is dismantling a federal agency responsible for protecting election security. And it has targeted and threatened election officials and others who keep elections free and fair, while supporting those who undermine elections, including the January 6 rioters.A new report from the Brennan Center connects the dots between these unprecedented, and in some cases illegal, moves. Listen to host Michael Waldman, President and CEO of the Brennan Center discuss the report's findings with Sean Morales-Doyle, Director, Voting Rights and Elections Program and Jasleen Singh, Counsel, Voting Rights and Elections Program.If you enjoy this program, please give us a boost by liking it, subscribing, and sharing it with your friends.

About this episode: The FDA has long convened scientifically rigorous advisory committees to review data and offer recommendations for regulating a range of food and drug products. However, it has recently pulled back and leaned heavily into ad-hoc “expert panels” that are not held to the same standards. In this episode: Caleb Alexander, an epidemiologist and drug safety expert who has served on over a dozen FDA advisory committees, raises concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability in these new panels and suggests that their lax standards might undermine the agency's credibility. Guest: Dr. G. Caleb Alexander, MS, is a practicing internist and drug safety expert at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Host: Lindsay Smith Rogers, MA, is the producer of the Public Health On Call podcast, an editor for Expert Insights, and the director of content strategy for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

You know those moments that make you pause and think, “Wait, am I being ridiculous right now?” You feel off, but you can't quite explain why. The conversation wasn't overtly mean. You weren't screamed at. But still… something felt wrong. Well, you might be experiencing micro-gaslighting. We already know that gaslighting is a form of emotional manipulation meant to distort your sense of reality. But micro-gaslighting is sneakier. It hides behind sarcasm, “jokes,” and well-meaning comments that, over time, make you question yourself in small, cumulative ways. Today we'll discuss the differences between gaslighting and micro-gaslighting, why it happens, whether you might be doing it yourself and, as always, my top six action steps to move forward.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/micro-gaslighting-the-tiny-cuts-that-undermine-you Get the Relationship Inventory: Emotional Safety Check-In Worksheet: https://abbymedcalf.com/relationship-inventoryLearn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries with my book Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries or The Workbook: Boundaries Made Easier https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?
