President Trump made his case for war with Iran during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday. He said we “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capability in strikes last summer, but we need to go back to obliterate it again, or they’ll shoot a missile at the US (it doesn’t make sense). In any case, the US has assembled its largest strike force in the Middle East since the build-up to the Iraq war.

John Davidson has tourettes, specifically “coprolalia,” a kind of vocal tic that causes a person to compulsively say socially inappropriate things. His condition exploded into public consciousness, first with a movie based on John Davidson’s life, and then again when John shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA movie awards. The unfortunate incident has elicited outrage from defenders of racial justice and the disabled community alike. Many folks online are putting the blame in the wrong place (and there is a place to put it). We can hold understanding for disabilities AND acknowledge the harm this language causes the Black community. Our guest, Jumaane D. Williams, was the first person with tourettes to hold public office. He has served as Public Advocate since 2019, and as Council Member for the 45th District in Brooklyn beginning in 2010. He has passed more legislation than all previous Public Advocates combined. Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert.

Was it political theater — or a revealing moment about party priorities?

Tara breaks down the latest legal victory in the fight against illegal enrollments in federal programs and exposes how billions in taxpayer money may have been misused. Court Victory: A U.S. appeals court overturned a judge blocking the Trump administration from accessing IRS data—crucial for identifying illegally enrolled immigrants. Scope of the Problem: Millions of illegals reportedly received Social Security numbers, Medicaid benefits, drivers' licenses, and in some cases, voted—all in violation of federal law. Frontline Action: Trump is taking on food stamp and Medicaid fraud, with Republican states actively purging ineligible recipients. Meanwhile, Democrats allegedly block access to vital data. The Stakes: These wins could reshape budget priorities, enforce accountability, and finally put taxpayer dollars back under scrutiny.

Tara breaks down the massive scope of alleged fraud in federal programs, the court victories clearing the way for enforcement, and the crucial fight over the SAFE Act. Fraud at Scale: Reports suggest up to $1 trillion a year in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal program fraud in multiple Democrat-run cities. Trump's Enforcement Wins: Millions removed from food stamps and Medicaid in Republican states, plus a key appeals court ruling allowing IRS data access. The SAFE Act: Pending legislation could force the Democrats to turn over voter rolls, removing ineligible voters and protecting election integrity. Billionaire Wealth & Taxes: Discussion of wealth taxes as a funding mechanism for federal programs and the political resistance to enforcement.

The Republican advantage over Democrats now stands at a record 1,479,623. That total includes a net change of 14,659 voters in January. Of Florida's 67 counties – only 8 currently have Democrat majorities by way of voter registration. It's clear that the trends that were in place prior to 2024's election cycle have continued to play out after it as well.

Since October, the Guardian Essential poll has been following the rise in support for One Nation but this month's results might also ring alarm bells for Labor. This is because nearly half of Labor voters said they would be open to voting for One Nation at the next federal election. Political reporter and chief of staff Josh Butler and Essential Media executive director Peter Lewis discuss why One Nation's surge is more than just a ‘noisy' protest about the Coalition, and why Pauline Hanson's party is attracting voters across the political spectrum

In this episode we zoom into the District 17 NC Senate race that will be on the Republican Ballot. Sarah Al-Baghdadi positions herself as a community-focused contender with experience in law enforcement, substitute teaching, and small business. She centers mental health, promises high accessibility, and raises concerns about proposed data centers, though her public record is light—no campaign website yet and minimal filings beyond committee paperwork.Shirley Johnson offers a detailed platform anchored in public safety, parental rights, school choice, and fiscal responsibility. With a decade on a state senate staff, leadership at a Child Advocacy Center and CASA, and service on an FBI Human Trafficking Task Force, she connects policy to family outcomes. She argues for strengthening penalties for violent crime, auditing education spending to fund teacher pay without raising taxes, and expanding housing supply by curbing overly restrictive local zoning. On hot-button issues, she supports tighter abortion limits with narrow exceptions, legislative control of redistricting, and clear standards for data center incentives tied to energy, water, and community impact. She also outlines climate resilience through research-driven infrastructure and better disaster preparedness.If you want a policy blueprint with line-by-line positions on safety, schools, and growth, Johnson gives you a lot to evaluate. If you want a neighbor-first representative who promises responsiveness and district-led priorities, Al-Baghdadi makes a service-forward case. Find this helpful?

Hawk watched Donald Trump's State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, then watched the Democratic response delivered by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, and came away far angrier at the Democrats than at Trump. While Trump's behavior was predictable, the Democratic response was scripted, sanitized, and shockingly silent on the most damning facts about a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and fraudster who was indicted 91 times across four jurisdictions, convicted on 34 felony counts for interfering with the 2016 election, incited the January 6th insurrection, and whose company was convicted of 17 fraud-related felonies. Spanberger never said the words convicted felon, rapist, fraudster, fascist, authoritarian, or genocide. She did not mention Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, or the ICE killings of Renee Good, Alex Prey, or Keith Porter. She did not call Trump a liar. She did not mention that he pardoned January 6th insurrectionists, ignored the Constitution, or is dismantling democracy. Meanwhile, Raphael Warnock, when given time on air, immediately named Epstein, called out the administration's wickedness, and spoke to the transfer of wealth from the bottom 75% to the top 1%. Hawk argues Warnock, or the young Somali woman from Minneapolis who spoke plainly about racism and murder, should have delivered the response instead. Congressman Al Green was physically removed from the House floor for holding a sign reading "Black people are not apes," while Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, and every other Democrat sat silent. Hawk also points to the DNC's own post-2024 autopsy confirming that Democratic support for Israel's actions in Gaza cost them the election, yet Democrats continue accepting millions from AIPAC and J Street.
