As Christian nationalism tightens its grip on the nation's politics, a new crop of progressive candidates is putting faith front and center. From James Talarico to Abdul El-Sayed, the religious left is making a more explicit play for political power (and challenging the idea that Republicans get to own God). Can religious progressives provide an effective counterweight to Christian nationalism, or are we just inviting more religion into a political system that could use a lot less of it? Also on the show: Christians find God on both sides of the fight over massive AI data centers; Florida's attorney general picks a fight with Catholic schools over vaccine exemptions; the Arizona Supreme Court hands the Mormon Church a win in a horrific child-abuse case; anti-Muslim opposition to a proposed mosque lands an Oklahoma city in court; new data reveals just how differently Mormons practice their religion around the world; and Texas' mandatory Ten Commandments displays face a new legal challenge.
Wisconsin Democrats narrowly chose Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley over Democratic Socialist state representative Francesca Hong in the gubernatorial primary, 39.8 percent to 39.4 percent. It's close enough that this might be headed to a recount, but it doesn't appear that Hong won. Crowley, who was endorsed by Governor Tony Evers, will face Trump-endorsed Republican representative Tom Tiffany. The result halted the progressive left's recent primary momentum, but it still showed its strength in a battleground state.What you're probably going to hear about is the polling. After the polls wildly overestimated Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, the final State Navigate poll had Hong at 44 percent and Crowley at 22 percent — a 22-point Hong lead. Instead, Crowley won by 0.4 percent. That's a 22.4-point miss on the margin. Jeez Louise. Hong's vote share wasn't wildly off; the poll totally underestimated Crowley. The question is why these polls keep overrepresenting progressive-leaning voters.One theory is that more polls are using online surveys. The old problem with landline calls was that they overrepresented boomers because nobody under 60 had a landline. Nobody answers an unfamiliar number on a cellphone, so that leaves online responses, which might overrepresent progressives. It's also worth noting that the DSA endorsed Hong, but Bernie Sanders and AOC didn't. Pure DSA play isn't good enough to get you over the hump, even in a Democratic primary. Bernie and AOC provide some wiggle room away from the DSA's baggage.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Flanagan overcame a major spending disadvantage after attacking Craig's immigration record, particularly her 2025 vote expanding ICE authority. Republicans nominated former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya, but barring huge changes in the race, Flanagan is going to be Minnesota's next senator. In the governor's race, Amy Klobuchar easily secured the Democratic nomination, while state House speaker Lisa Demuth defeated Trump-backed My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. Please raise your combs in celebration.South Carolina's emergency election to replace Lindsey Graham is headed to an August 25 runoff between interim senator Darlene Graham and Representative Ralph Norman. Graham, Lindsey's sister and Trump's endorsed candidate, finished first with 32.7 percent. Norman took the second spot with 24.6 percent, narrowly eliminating Representative Russell Fry. The vote was pretty split, and I don't know whether Darlene has the juice to keep Norman off. A lot of Republicans were already angry that she decided to seek the seat permanently instead of serving as a placeholder. Ralph Norman has a real shot. The kiss of death for Darlene would be the double endorsement — a double Trump endorsement.Former Hartford mayor Luke Bronin also defeated 14-term Democratic representative John Larson, 54 percent to 33 percent. Larson, 78, became the seventh House Democrat defeated in a primary this cycle, while Governor Ned Lamont won renomination. In Alabama, Trump-endorsed Republican Rhett Marques advanced to face Democratic representative Shomari Figures in the redrawn Second District, where the Black voting-age population was reduced from 48 percent to 40 percent.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:05:42 - Tuesday Primary Results00:16:18 - Exploring Disney's America with Andrew Heaton01:19:36 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

A federal watchdog says some guidelines meant to improve the response to Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) are falling short of federal requirements. That is according to an audit from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Office of Inspector General. The watchdog reviewed guidelines from 49 U.S. Attorneys' districts developed under Savanna's Act. The law was passed in 2020 to improve coordination between tribal, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies responding to MMIP cases. The Inspector General found guidelines from 10 of the 49 districts did not fully meet requirements under the law. Seven were missing at least one of six required sections, while eight were not adequately tailored to circumstances within their individual districts. The audit also found staffing shortages within the DOJ's MMIP Regional Outreach Program. As of February, four of the program's 10 positions were vacant. The Inspector General says vacancies and staff turnover have slowed the program's progress. The office made three recommendations, including addressing staffing shortages and bringing district guidelines into compliance. The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys agreed with all three. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan addresses her supporters during her Primary Night party. (Courtesy Peggy Flanagan / Facebook) Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Nation/D-MN) has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. The Associated Press called the race for Flanagan Tuesday night. She defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary. The win puts Flanagan one step closer to making history. If elected in November, she would become the first Native American woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. Flanagan has served as Minnesota's lieutenant governor since 2019 and is the highest-ranking Native woman elected to executive office in the U.S. During her campaign, Flanagan focused on issues including health care and affordability. She also campaigned against corporate influence in politics. Peggy Flanagan’s note to her supporters. (Courtesy Peggy Flanagan / Facebook) She is running for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), who is not seeking reelection. Flanagan will face Republican Michele Tafoya in the November general election. The Associated Press called that primary for the former NFL sideline reporter in a crowded Republican race. The Clean Air Act requires uranium waste storage pits at the White Mesa mill near Blanding, Utah, to be covered in water to control radon gas. (Photos: Dom Smith / EcoFlight) Congressional Democrats have opened an investigation into a uranium mining company for alleged insider trading. KNAU's Chris Clements has more. Energy Fuels Resources CEO Ross Bhappu bought 74,000 shares of stock in his own company on July 7. Chairman of the board Burce Hansen bought 4,000 shares on July 8. Five days after that, President Donald Trump announced a 90% cut to Bears Ears National Monument. That timing is suspicious, says two Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee. U.S. Reps. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Maxine Dexter (D-OR) allege the Trump administration may have tipped the company off about the reduction before it happened. The company owns the only conventional uranium mill in the U.S., and there is a lot of uranium underneath Bears Ears – which is now free from a moratorium on new mining claims. The congressmembers say the company stood to benefit from the Bears Ears reduction, but in an emailed statement to KNAU, Energy Fuels denied the allegations and said it was unaware of any evidence supporting the representatives' claims.

Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Republican Lisa Demuth will compete to be Minnesota's next governor. Either would make history as the state's first woman leader. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan won a decisive victory in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate. Flanagan defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig. The margin of victory was much wider than many expected in a race where Flanagan was vastly outspent.At her victory party at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Flanagan turned her gaze toward her November opponent, former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya, who won the Republican nomination. Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 2002. But Tafoya says she's a new kind of candidate and says she will not be beholden to her party or President Donald Trump.A crew member assigned to work to contain the wildfires that are burning in northern Minnesota has died.

Seth discusses the alarming trend of radicalized politicians entering the public sphere, citing the examples of Democrats Darializa Chevalier and Francesca Hong, who are running for office in New York and Wisconsin, respectively. They have expressed views that are far-Left and even blatantly Communist. Seth highlights the fact that many of these politicians are products of the university system. The discussion delves into the idea that universities are more about indoctrination than education, and that this has led to a generation of young people who are ill-equipped to think critically. Producer David Doll discusses his evening watching the Diamondbacks play. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Governor Katie Hobbs made it official today announcing her pick of ex-Republican former Mesa mayor John Giles as her running mate in the gubernatorial election this fall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The timing is the story. Legal historian Holly Brewer's read is that the document was written while Blanche was still acting AG and kept from the senators voting on him, Republicans included. Amanda Carpenter put it simply: a new Attorney General and a new immunity. Chuck Todd's point is that the memo's existence is an admission the White House expects subpoenas aimed at the private parties who did business with Trump and his family. Josh Gerstein noted it landed while courts are already fighting over testimony from outside advisers, Boris Epshteyn in particular. Marcy Wheeler added the background there. This is aimed squarely at congressional oversight, and it works alongside a White House that has no intention of complying with subpoenas anyway. Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler discussed the memo's reach with Peter Alexander.

On today's podcast, Charlie Sykes and Matt discuss:—Why DSA member and failed Wisconsin candidate Francesca Hong was an “absurdly bad candidate” (and why Bernie and AOC stayed away)— How Dems realized they were about to blow a winnable race and hand Wisconsin to an election-denier, so they voted for David Crowley, a candidate who had previously dropped out of the race— Charlie says there are three things every candidate must prove to voters (Hong went 0-for-3)— Matt says 2026 is largely “baked in the cake” as a blue-wave year driven by Trump fatigue, overreach, tariffs, ICE, etc. But!

President Donald Trump announced today in a Truth Social post that he is looking into whether the federal government can stop New York City's pied-à-terre tax.Former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman, 32, was released Tuesday by Russia on a humanitarian basis after the president said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.“We appreciate this decision, and the fact that Russia asked for no one in return—No exchange took place,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.The defense for the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare's CEO requested in filing papers that the state court not restrict public access to the trial. However, on Tuesday before oral arguments began, the judge scolded them for making the request.Republican senators released some of the 34,000 text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci's government phone. They highlight Fauci's comments on the COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women.

Keith McHenry, founder of Food Not Bombs, joins the program to discuss a increasing reality: in dozens of U.S. cities, feeding hungry people has become a punishable offense. Through "no public feeding" ordinances and other restrictions, volunteers serving free meals have found themselves arrested, fined, and driven out of public spaces. McHenry has shared free food in thousands of cities around the world for more than four decades and, during that time, has been arrested hundreds of times, jailed, beaten, and even labeled part of a terrorist network—all for organizing volunteers to feed hungry people.McHenry also shares why, in his experience, the most liberal cities are often the worst offenders—the very cities that claim to stand for the poor. Meanwhile, those who support smaller government and the idea of community members helping community members are more often found in Republican-led communities and smaller towns, which have been the most accepting and, in many cases, have even partnered with his organization. It's the opposite of what much of the media portrays.This conversation will show you that helping others is up to all of us and that government should not be relied upon when it matters most.Learn how you can get involved or buy his books at KeithMcHenry.net.Sign up for the newsletter and see exclusives at SarahWestall.Substack.com.
Oregon came dangerously close to outlawing hunting, fishing, trapping, rodeo, and livestock operations statewide. Initiative Petition 28 failed to gather enough signatures — but the fact it got as far as it did exposed how far left the state's political class has drifted from the rural communities that built it.Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazen is done playing defense. She's proposing a constitutional amendment to permanently enshrine the right to hunt, fish, trap, and raise livestock in Oregon law. Governor Tina Kotek's response? "Political theater" — no acknowledgment of the near-miss that made the fight necessary in the first place.Sean also covers Daimler/Freightliner moving its truck plant out of Portland, Seattle's LGBTQ funding debate, and why Amazon's Jumpstart payroll tax is quietly making the city uncompetitive for the businesses it needs most.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories the mainstream press buries.#NFRP #Oregon #TinaKotekGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS
What happens when a Republican entrepreneur, a Democratic political strategist, and a city manager sit down—not to win an argument, but to understand each other?In one of the most thoughtful conversations we've had on American Dream Factory, Nick Smoot and Joe Toney welcome Adama Iwu, one of America's leading political strategists and one of TIME's 2017 "Silence Breakers," collectively recognized as Person of the Year for helping expose sexual harassment in politics.The conversation begins with a question Nick has wanted to ask for months.After witnessing Zohran Mamdani walk out of the West Wing following a meeting with President Trump, Nick realized something surprising: he had never actually spoken with someone who voted for Mamdani.So he asked.Why?That simple question opens the door to a remarkably honest discussion about the future of American politics, capitalism, socialism, healthcare, AI, civic engagement, and what it means to build communities that actually work for people.Adama shares her journey from growing up as an evangelical Christian and conservative to becoming one of the country's most respected voices on public policy. She explains why policies like universal childcare, public transportation, and expanded healthcare resonate with her—not as ideological positions, but as practical ways to help people flourish.Nick offers a center-right perspective, arguing for entrepreneurship, local innovation, and community-led solutions while challenging assumptions about government and economic policy.Joe guides the conversation with curiosity, helping both sides unpack difficult questions without turning disagreement into conflict.Together they explore:Why Zohran Mamdani's message connected with so many votersSocialism versus capitalism and where Americans often talk past one anotherWhether healthcare should be treated as a public goodThe future of AI regulation, privacy, and innovationOpen-source AI versus centralized technology platformsRepresentation, the Voting Rights Act, and civic participationWhy local government may matter more than national politicsBuilding stronger communities in an increasingly polarized nationOne of the recurring themes throughout the conversation is that meaningful progress rarely comes from shouting louder. It comes from asking better questions.Whether discussing healthcare, artificial intelligence, economic opportunity, or public policy, all three guests repeatedly return to the same idea: communities improve when people choose to participate rather than retreat into political tribes.The episode concludes with a reminder that democracy isn't something that happens every four years. It's something we build every day through local involvement, civic responsibility, and a willingness to engage people we disagree with.If you're looking for a conversation that challenges assumptions without demonizing people, this episode is for you.About Adama IwuAdama Iwu is a political strategist and government affairs executive with leadership experience across state government, Fortune 500 companies, and public policy. She has served in the Schwarzenegger Administration, led California Government Affairs for Farmers Insurance, served as Vice President for Political Strategy and External Partnerships at Visa, and is currently a political strategist with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck.She co-founded We Said Enough, the movement that exposed widespread sexual harassment in California politics, and was recognized as one of TIME's 2017 "Silence Breakers," the collective recipients of TIME's Person of the Year honor. She also serves on the University of San Diego Board of Trustees and is a nationally recognized speaker on leadership, ethics, and public policy.American Dream Factory explores the people and ideas shaping the future of America through conversations that prioritize curiosity over certainty and solutions over slogans.
"We the people" becomes "we the victims" when the Republican/Democrat duopoly weaponizes its power to grow government and destroy liberty.
Republicans amp up the fear-mongering on "communism" as Democrats try to move past some of their nominees' most controversial past statements. In the words of Rep.

Rachel Maddow looks at how a Trump-aligned Texas oil company appears to be trying to worm its way into drilling in Greenland, provoking a threatening response not only from Greenland residents and officials, but potentially from NATO ally Denmark. Rachel Maddow reports on an anti-immigrant group in Indiana attempting to stage a "mass deportation rally," only to end up moving the poorly attended rally to a "secret location" while counterprotesters swarmed the original location to stand up for their immigrant neighbors. Immediately upon the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act, several Southern states moved to eliminate Black congressional districts. But what Republicans didn't count on was the political backlash they would trigger. Rev. Earle Fisher, senior pastor at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, talks with Rachel Maddow about activating Black voters in Tennessee who are outraged at Republicans gerrymandering away their representation. Rep. LaMonica McIver joins to discuss the ongoing fight for human rights and human treatment of immigrants imprisoned by the Trump administration. Want more of Rachel?

It's voting day in states across the country – including in two Southern states that have already voted once this year. In South Carolina, Republicans will select their new Senate nominee after Lindsey Graham's sudden death. And in Alabama, voters in several congressional districts are heading back to the polls after the Supreme Court told the state to use a map from 2023… despite that map being struck down by lower courts for being racially discriminatory. All of this is happening in the orange-tinted shadow of Donald Trump — but the South isn't owned by the 47th president. For more, we spoke to Mitch Landrieu. He's the former mayor of New Orleans and one of the hosts of Crooked Media's newest podcast, Long Play, which examines politics in the ever-changing South.And in headlines, Trump signs an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations, a Syrian court sentences ousted President Bashar al-Assad and his brother to death by abstentia, and a new report reveals The White House asked the Department of Justice to try charging the man accused of vandalizing the reflective pool with a different crime after his case was dropped.Show Notes: Check out Long Play – crooked.com/podcast-series/longplay/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com
On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Jordy, and Brett dissect Trump's rambling and dangerous Oval Office event on childhood vaccines, including bizarre claims about "vats" of vaccine being "pumped into your child's body" and moments where he visibly struggles to stay awake on camera. They dig into the U.S.-Iran standoff grinding into its fifth month with the Strait of Hormuz still closed, Iran's defiant new list of demands, and a Pentagon scrambling to resupply weapons stocks depleted by the war. The guys also cover mounting economic warning signs at home — soaring gas prices, a Strategic Petroleum Reserve at a 43-year low, and even Republican pollsters sounding alarms ahead of the midterms — plus reports of military families confronting Navy leadership over grim conditions aboard the USS Lincoln.

As Americans grapple with higher housing, grocery, and everyday costs, Buck argues that telling frustrated voters to spend less or cook at home simply misses the bigger political problem. He explains how economic anxiety could become a major vulnerability for Republicans and why AOC is positioning herself to capitalize on it. Buck also looks ahead to 2028 and makes the case for why Republicans should take AOC seriously as an increasingly formidable force in the Democratic Party.
