In Gaza today, rescue teams comb through rubble, searching desperately for survivors after a war-damaged building gave way. The death toll has climbed to at least 21, a Gaza Health Ministry official reports. Also, Israel's prime minister has vowed to introduce a law stripping citizenship from those accused of defaming the nation's army. And, in Nepal, flood survivors with disabilities struggle to find sign language interpreters, transportation, and even basic information. Plus, a Brazilian cellist who performs in conflict zones.

Send us Fan MailAlex Stanton started building websites on dial-up internet in rural Idaho, founded Exbabylon at 14, and helped develop cybersecurity products before cybersecurity SaaS was an established category. That unconventional beginning eventually led him to build an MSP and MSSP, join a national private-equity-backed platform, and oversee technology serving thousands of businesses.In this conversation with Joey Pinz, Alex explains why successful AI transformation must remain centered on people. He shares the meaning behind his HUMAN > TECH philosophy, why most organizations are still experimenting with artificial intelligence, and how AI could help curious humans solve problems once considered impossible.Alex also explores founder conviction, the courage to pivot, transparent leadership, “blamestorming,” and why leaders should build people—not merely companies. He challenges the cultural belief that everyone should become an entrepreneur and argues that education should develop thinkers and leaders rather than compliant workers.Top Three Highlights

Farms and ranches that employ workers under the H2-A program now have their federally mandated minimum wage under the new Adverse Effect Wage Rate.

In this episode of Insurance Shoptalk, Eric Stein sits down with Patrick Davis, CEO of InsurePay, to discuss how pay-as-you-go workers' compensation is changing the way businesses pay premiums—and why insurance agents should understand it as both a client benefit and a retention tool. Patrick explains how pay-as-you-go connects workers' compensation premiums directly to actual payroll, recalculating exposure with every payroll cycle instead of relying on annual estimates. The conversation covers how this approach can improve cash flow, reduce large audit surprises, lower the risk of cancellations for nonpayment, and simplify the workers' comp experience for insureds. For insurance agents, carriers, MGAs, and business owners interested in workers' compensation, payroll integration, premium billing, client retention, and reducing audit headaches, this episode provides a practical look at why pay-as-you-go is becoming an increasingly important option. #InsuranceShopTalk #WorkersCompensation #PayAsYouGo #InsuranceAgency #CommercialInsurance #InsuranceTechnology #Insurtech #Payroll #InsuranceAgents #WorkersComp

Notes Matthew 20:1-16 Exodus 16:2-15 In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Rob McCoy delve into the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard from Matthew 20:1-16. They explore themes of fairness, grace, and the nature of the Kingdom of God, challenging traditional perceptions of work and reward. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the broader context of the parable and the absurdity of grace, ultimately highlighting that in God's kingdom, everyone receives enough to meet their needs. In this episode, the hosts explore themes of generosity, community, and divine provision through the lens of Dolly Parton's legacy and biblical narratives. They discuss the importance of trusting in God's provision as illustrated in the Exodus story, the significance of the Sabbath, and the need for community engagement and support. The conversation emphasizes the idea of 'enough' and the role of generosity in fostering a caring community.

On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we dissect an environment where systemic institutional lies, physical violence, and corporate betrayal directly threaten employee survival. Marking a quarter century since the September 11th disaster, we analyze the ultimate betrayal of thousands of recovery first responders and Ground Zero workers who were explicitly lied to by government officials about toxic air conditions, suffering fatal lung illnesses while the state actively suppressed internal warning memos. We connect this historical cover-up straight to the modern shift, examining how working-class personnel face severe health hazards, sudden terminal violence, and aggressive administrative execution on their daily shifts. THE CORES OF THIS WEEK'S BROADCAST TRANSMISSION: 1. The 9/11 Ground Zero Cover-Up Uncovered: We review the major post-holiday document release exposing how municipal officials knowingly lied to recovery workers about toxic air quality. We analyze the lasting health impacts and fatal illnesses suffered by personnel who were denied critical safety data. 2. The California Engineered Stone Silicosis Crisis: We evaluate the escalating occupational emergency affecting countertop fabrication workers. Over 600 young stonecutters face terminal lung failure from toxic silica dust while struggling to secure denied worker's compensation benefits. 3. The Gulfport AT&T Store Mass Shooting: We deconstruct a horrific Labor Day shift tragedy in Mississippi. A disgruntled 71-year-old black male customer returned to an active commercial mall venue, opening fire inside the showroom to kill a 31-year-old store employee and an elderly customer. 4. The St. Louis Jimmy John's Parking Lot Violence: We examine the severe escalation of workplace-adjacent disputes. A 27-year-old black male fast-food worker is arrested after firing a firearm into a departing vehicle following an argument with a recently terminated female co-worker, wounding a 14-year-old child. 5. The Tyson Foods Overnight Plant Closure: We confront a devastating corporate mass layoff event in Illinois. Executives shuttered a massive beef processing plant overnight with zero advance warning, dumping 2,500 workers - most of them not White - onto the pavement without economic relief. Between breathing toxic silica dust, facing sudden active shooters on the retail floor, and navigating overnight facility shutdowns, establishing a strict, data-driven boundary remains your primary tool for survival. Your priority on the clock is not relying on corporate safety pledges or empty institutional programs. Enforce a rigid workplace perimeter. Archive your receipts with total precision. Minimize your footprint to exit your shift completely intact. #SurviveYourShift #WorkplaceViolence #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #NDAAudit #UntilJustice #JusticeForSade #911 #GroundZero Call 720.716.7300 | Access Code: 564943# No Phone?

Will the increase in ministerial salaries cost the People’s Action Party (PAP) votes at the next General Election? On Sept 8, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced that political office-holders will get a one-off pay increase of up to 9 per cent. This will take effect from Oct 15 - an entry-level grade MR4 minister getting the full adjustment will see his annual pay rise from $1.1 million to $1.2 million. The changes to salaries come after the Government accepted the recommendations of a committee convened to review political salaries. One of its recommendations is that the MR4 benchmark will also be updated from $1.1 million to $1.8 million. Existing ministers’ salaries will continue to be adjusted based on performance, and PM Wong expects most MR4 ministers to earn about $1.35 million – the lower end of the new salary range – by the end of this term of government. In this episode of The Usual Place, Natasha speaks with Straits Times’ senior columnist Bhavan Jaipragas, and Rebecca Grace Tan, a senior lecturer in Political Science at the National University of Singapore. We discuss whether there is the “right” formula to calculating ministers’ salaries, and whether alternative performance reviews of ministers’ and MPs work is now necessary to account to the public for the pay raises. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:24 How did PM Wong fare in explaining the salary increases? 5:38 Was the debate “subdued” as compared to 2012? 8:44 Have S’poreans come to accept the million-dollar salaries? 13:45 Why didn’t the Workers’ Party oppose more strongly? 18:00 Growing divide between political elites and the rest of us? 21:09 Is the top 1,000 earners benchmark still fair? 26:20 Money, motive and minimising opportunity costs 32:15 How can we assess ministers’ performance? 41:44 Has public office become unattractive? 47:22 Is S’pore just another corporation?

Washington Policy Center's Elizabeth New (Hovde) argues that collective-bargaining sessions between the Ferguson administration and WFSE are shielded from public view by state law, leaving rank-and-file workers and taxpayers unable to evaluate whether proposed compensation agreements are truly fair. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-wfse-demands-a-fair-contract-but-workers-and-taxpayers-cant-see-the-numbers/ #WFSE #StateBudget #WashingtonState #CollectiveBargaining #Transparency #PublicSectorUnions #Opinion #WashingtonPolicyCenter #ClarkCounty #StateworkerContract ---

It's been 25 years since 9/11. In this special episode, we revisit our conversation with Kenneth Feinberg, the architect of the federal compensation plan for victims and their families. As he asks in his book on the subject, “what's life worth?” Feinberg is an internationally known attorney who was appointed by President George W. Bush to administer the federal fund established to aid those injured in the terrorist attacks and to support the families of those who lost their lives.  We reflect on Feinberg's Herculean efforts and how his team grappled with a national open wound and struggled to put a monetary value on thousands of lives. In today's often divisive political climate, a brutal period 25 years ago reminds us of a time when our nation came together as one. If any episode of Workers' Comp Matters bears a second listen, this is the one. Everyone working with injured workers and their families can take a lesson from Feinberg's extraordinary challenge.  If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com or APierce@ppnlaw.com.   Mentioned in This Episode: “Worth,” a Netflix film on Ken Feinberg's work, trailer “What Is Life Worth?

How often do opinion polls get it right and zero in on what Americans are actually thinking and feeling when it comes to elections?We've all seen political polls get it wrong, miss the mark and be an inaccurate barometer of public sentiment.With an election looming, polling is in overdrive.Could AI make polling more accurate? That's what a group at Ohio State is working to find out.Without question, work has changed post-pandemic. Workers and managers have had to navigate many obstacles, including working from home, Zoom, and more recently, the addition of AI.But just because work looks different, it doesn't mean the work isn't working.Smart lights are new ways of creating unique atmospheres in homes. Some of the lights are now using generative AI.Dry cat food dispensers have existed for a while now, but what about cats who prefer wet food?Dishwashers are beginning to include cameras.

For Labor Day, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: As the Democratic Socialists of America rack up electoral wins during primary season, the group is pushing an expansive definition of who counts as working-class. Gothamist and WNYC reporter Elizabeth Kim and Christopher Maisano, editor of New Labor Forum, a labor journal from the Murphy Institute at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, discuss who counts as working class and why the definition matters.

The first Monday of September is Labor Day, so let's examine the practice of importing workers from France and England to North America as a profitable business during early colonial times. To satisfy the continent’s need for labor, agreements between two parties about long-term work gained popularity. The length of servitude might be a specified number of years or until the laborer reached a certain age. Many people indentured themselves in order to gain passage to North America or to escape debt and poverty.

At the height of a Washington, D.C., summer heat wave, members of the United Steelworkers came to town for the union's Rapid Response Legislative and Policy Conference — four days of talking legislation with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. AAM Media Relations Director Cat Adams grabbed a mic and went down to hear from the people who actually build things. Tire builders, welders, assemblers and machine operators talk about the first day they walked onto a factory floor, what their first paycheck bought, and what these jobs did for their towns. Scott Paul and Cat unpack what that means for trade enforcement, for the USMCA review now underway, and for whether Congress treats manufacturing as a drumbeat or a photo op. Workers heard in this episode: - Anthony Elrod - Goodyear, Topeka, Kan. - Diana Caspersen - Speed Queen, Ripon, Wis. - Bonnie Reese - Assembler, BAE Systems, Pennsylvania - Corey Ingram - BAE Systems, York, Pa. - Will Wilkinson - USW staff representative, Wyoming

I'm Todd Gleason for University of Illinois Extension with a history of labor day in the United States. It's adapted from a story found on the United States Embassy to Sweden's website.Eleven-year-old Peter McGuire sold papers on the street in New York City. He shined shoes and cleaned stores and later ran errands. It was 1863 and his father, a poor Irish immigrant, had just enlisted to fight in the Civil War. Peter had to help support his mother and six brothers and sisters.Many immigrants settled in New York City in the nineteenth century. They found that living conditions were not as wonderful as they had dreamed. Often there were six families crowded into a house made for one family. Thousands of children had to go to work. Working conditions were even worse. Immigrant men, women and children worked in factories for ten to twelve hours a day, stopping only for a short time to eat. They came to work even if they were tired or sick because if they didn't, they might be fired. Thousands of people were waiting to take their places.When Peter was 17, he began an apprenticeship in a piano shop. This job was better than his others, for he was learning a trade, but he still worked long hours with low pay. At night he went to meetings and classes in economics and social issues of the day. One of the main issues of concern pertained to labor conditions. Workers were tired of long hours, low pay and uncertain jobs. They spoke of organizing themselves into a union of laborers to improve their working conditions. In the spring of 1872, Peter McGuire and 100,000 workers went on strike and marched through the streets, demanding a decrease in the long working day.This event convinced Peter that an organized labor movement was important for the future of workers' rights. He spent the next year speaking to crowds of workers and unemployed people, lobbying the city government for jobs and relief money. It was not an easy road for Peter McGuire. He became known as a "disturber of the public peace." The city government ignored his demands. Peter himself could not find a job in his trade. He began to travel up and down the east coast to speak to laborers about unionizing. In 1881, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and began to organize carpenters there. He organized a convention of carpenters in Chicago, and it was there that a national union of carpenters was founded. He became General Secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.The idea of organizing workers according to their trades spread around the country. Factory workers, dock workers and toolmakers all began to demand and get their rights to an eight-hour workday, a secure job and a future in their trades. Peter McGuire and laborers in other cities planned a holiday for workers on the first Monday in September, halfway between Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day.  On September 5, 1882 the first Labor Day parade was held in New York City. ★ Support this podcast ★

England, 1971: Workers at a photographic factory begin falling mysteriously ill. At first, nobody can explain the sudden vomiting, agonising pain and strange neurological symptoms spreading through the workforce. Then one man dies.But the cause isn't coming from the factory itself. Someone has been secretly slipping poison into his colleagues' tea — carefully watching their symptoms and recording the results.And when investigators uncover the disturbing past of 24-year-old Graham Young, they realise this isn't the first time the seemingly unassuming laboratory assistant has poisoned the people around him.Resources:⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eleanornealeresources⁠⁠Follow Outlore Podcast here:YouTube - ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@EleanorNeale⁠⁠Insta - @outlorepodcast ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outlorepodcast/?__d=16d⁠⁠ TikTok - @outlorepodcast ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@outlorepodcast⁠⁠ Get to know me on my Personal Channel YouTube - @ellieneale1 ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ellieneale1⁠⁠ Insta - @eleanorneale⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorneal...⁠⁠Tiktok - @eleanorneale⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@eleanorneale⁠⁠⁠⁠?...

September 4, 2026On September 5, 1882, workers in New York City celebrated the first Labor Day holiday, Their goal was to emphasize the importance of workers in the industrializing economy, Twenty years after the Civil War, government had swung toward men of capital, and working men worried they would lose their rights, Inequality was growing in the country, Workers helped elect reformer Democrat Grover Cleveland to the White House in 1884, In 1888 Cleveland won the popular vote but lost in the electoral college to Benjamin Harrison, In 1892 Cleveland was re-elected in a landslide, Investors rushed to take their money out of the stock market and the economy collapsed.  Cleveland and the Democratic Congress had to abandon many of their pro-worker policies, But on June 28, 1894, Cleveland signed Congress's bill making Labor Day a legal holiday. Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Ralph welcomes sportswriter Dave Zirin to talk about his new book, "The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn." Then Ralph speaks to labor activist Gene Bruskin about their upcoming Labor Day event at Busboys and Poets in DC, "Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact."Dave Zirin is the sports editor for The Nation, a columnist for the Progressive, and the author of eight books on the politics of sports, including What's My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the United States and A People's History of Sports in the United States. His new book is The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn.There's a despondency that exists now, I believe, among people who are also very angry about the state of our politics. And the thing that Howard always insisted upon—he was an activist who happened to be a historian, not a historian who was an activist. And that doesn't denigrate his incredible skills as a historian, it just says where his priorities were in his time on this planet. And one of the things that Howard believed so strongly is that the movements themselves needed to have a strong sense of history. The movements needed to know that we live in a time of great ups and downs.Dave ZirinPeople did step up to create the Zinn Education Project. And every book event I'm doing, I'm showing up with copies of their materials and they usually have somebody on the ground doing the organizing at the event. And at the very least, we're helping it be a little bit sticky. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not just a book event. It's not just celebrating Howard. But it's also something that allows us to be able to make it matter in a way that it otherwise would not—because it's not just about selling books, it really is about building a movement.Dave ZirinGene Bruskin is a veteran of the labor movement as a local union president, an organizer, and campaign coordinator for numerous local and national unions. He has done extensive international labor solidarity work, including with Iraqi workers and unions, and is a founder of US Labor Against the War.What we're breaking through here now (and partly this has been the definition of this resistance movement) it's workers versus billionaires. And I think the labor movement in general coming out of World War II has been captured by this mythology that “What's good for General Electric is good for the nation.” And the more the economy “prospers,” the more it's good for everybody. And it turns out that that's not really the case, because we don't have that kind of equality. And also what's in the national interest in terms of our foreign policy is not in the interest of the average working class person. A lot of that stuff is being challenged and reversed—not enough, but it's forcing some of the more moderate forces to the left, just as we're seeing in some of these Senate and House elections.Gene BruskinI think this is a really important moment for Labor Day because Labor Day, among other things, is generally the kickoff for whatever elections are happening in November. And it's going to be that on steroids this year. But I think the important thing is that, of course, we want to throw out a bunch of these Neanderthal Republicans in the House and Senate. But it's not just a matter of restoring a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. The question is: to what end? And what is on the agenda of a Democratic-majority Congress at this minute? What is the vision that we have for our future that we have to be fighting for? … We have to change this whole climate so that people have some kind of hope, some kind of vision for what we want and what we deserve. And the same old, same old, whether it's a Democratic Congress or not, is not acceptable anymore.Gene BruskinGalvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact (Sep 7, 2026 2:00 pm ET): Busboys and Poets and Ralph Nader present Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact, a discussion of how unions can maximize the impact of Labor Day to mobilize workers and voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and afterwards. (Event is in-person @ Busboys and Poets 14th & V + Livestreamed. Free and open to all, but registration is required.)News 9/4/26* Our top story this week is the neo-colonial oil extraction deal that has been struck between the Trump administration and the government of Delcy Rodríguez in Venezuela. This government has been running the country under the barrel of a gun since Trump sent Delta Force to kidnap President Nicolás Maduro from his home in the Bolivarian Republic in January. According to the BBC, the new deal “grants a US-led company 100-year concessions over 17 oilfields in Venezuela, amounting to a staggering 65 billion barrels of crude,” or over one-fifth of the country's proven oil reserves. The White House has released a fact sheet, stating that much of the new extraction will be conducted by North American Blue Energy Partners (Nabep), and that the U.S. government will have “veto power over the appointment of any member of the board of directors, and a majority of Nabep's board of directors must be US citizens.” The announcement of this deal drew scorn from a wide variety of sources. These range from Trump's former special representative on Venezuela and Iran, Elliott Abrams who called the deal “terrible” and sees it as Rodríguez “simply complying with the demands she's getting from Washington,” to Rafael Ramírez, who served as the head of the state-run energy firm, PDVSA, and as the oil minister under former President Hugo Chávez, who is quoted saying the deal “hands over [the oil] and opens the doors to a new colonialism of the United States.”* In more outrageous foreign policy news, Reuters reports the Trump administration has designated the United Kingdom-based pro-Palestine activist group Palestine Action a ”terrorist organization,” part of the administration's “campaign to crack down on left-wing groups” using post-9/11 anti-terrorism laws. The United Nations has decried this move, with the UN's human rights office chief Volker Turk calling it a “disproportionate and unnecessary ⁠restriction on the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association as well as the right ​to participate in public affairs,” adding that the “expansive use ​of the term ‘terrorism' has been documented to have a chilling effect on civic space.” The UK has sought to bring the legal hammer down on Palestine Action, though these efforts have been somewhat stymied by the courts. Sarah McLaughlin, senior scholar of global expression at free speech group Foundation for Individual Rights and Free Expression (FIRE), ​said that the US “must reject that censorship - not import it.” Reuters notes that “Israel's foreign ministry welcomed the designation.”* This is not the only case wherein the Trump administration has gone to extreme lengths to punish pro-Palestine activism. California District Judge Noel Wise highlighted this in her recent decision, excoriating the State Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for their attempts to deport noncitizens over protected speech. This ruling, stemming from a lawsuit filed by FIRE, “centred on how the second Trump administration revoked visas and detained international students studying in the US after they engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.” Judge Wise stated in her decision that “in the United States, freedom of speech belongs to the people..It is not the government's to take.” She added that the strength of our democracy is “diminished when members of our society — citizens and noncitizens alike — must self-censor and ‘behave' or suffer the government's retaliation.” Mahmoud Khalil, the most prominent victim of the administration's policy of seeking to deport activists they want to silence, applauded the decision, saying “No one should fear speaking up for Palestine.” This from Al Jazeera.* Our final Palestine-related story for this week takes us to Hollywood, where prominent actor and activist Mark Ruffalo's recent comments in opposition to the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. merger, related to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison's ties to his father's software company Oracle, have been cynically branded as “antisemitic tropes.” According to the LA Times, Ruffalo shared a clip of Safra Catz, Oracle's former CEO and a current Paramount board member speaking at an Israeli-American Council National Summit conference, where she said that “she couldn't discuss Oracle's work with Israel's military, but ‘we have some profoundly scary technology at Oracle and we wanted to make sure that it was available' to Israel,” after October 7th. Paramount's lawyers quickly sought to smear Ruffalo with the charge of antisemitism, including by deploying their allies in pro-Israel groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League. In response, over 150 Jewish filmmakers, academics, writers and even rabbis, signed an open letter which reads, in part, “Pointing out the crucial connections between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Hollywood is the exact opposite of antisemitism. It is, for us, the very essence of Jewish ethical duty.”* In other news, NBC reports the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Friday that “federal commodities-trading law does not preempt Nevada's gambling law as to the regulation of placing wagers on sports.” This piece notes that the 3-0 ruling marks the prediction markets industry's most significant legal setback yet and sets up a showdown at the Supreme Court, since the Third Circuit has already ruled that New Jersey cannot regulate Kalshi. The Trump administration has sought to keep regulation of betting markets under the jurisdiction of the federal body known as the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Notably, the commission, usually composed of five appointees, currently boasts only one single member: Michael S. Selig. Selig is extremely friendly to the prediction market industry and has sought to stave off state-level regulation by arguing for federal preemption.* Kalshi has been in the news for other reasons as well, namely for its attempts to self-regulate. For one, the Wall Street Journal reports that Kalshi issued its first ever lifetime ban this week, to none other than former Congressman and notorious grifter George Santos. This ban was precipitated by Santos' making over $17,000 by “placing bets on his attendance at President Trump's State of the Union address.” Kalshi adds that they issued a $71,356 fine to Santos. For his part, Santos tweeted “Hey @Kalshi thanks for the lifetime ban from your gambling platform…Let's see how much longer you guys are around for.” Newsweek reports that at the same time, Kalshi fined and suspended North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Laurie Buckhout for betting on her own race. Buckhout dismissed her bet as a “dumb mistake” and joked that her “career as a Kalshi trader was short-lived.” Buckhout is running against incumbent Congressman Don Davis in a newly-redrawn district engineered to favor Republicans, but polling shows a tight race. If Buckhout narrowly loses, many will point to this “dumb mistake” as a key reason why.* Another legal battle is unfolding in New York City, where landlords are challenging Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze for rent-stabilized tenants. PIX11 reports that the suit, originally filed in Staten Island but now moved to Manhattan, centers on complaints from landlords that the decision by the rent guidelines board (RGB) to keep rents flat on one and two-year lease renewals for NYC's million rent-stabilized apartments was “predetermined and illegal.” They argue that the board “cherry-picked data and was packed with supporters of Mayor…Mamdani's campaign promise to freeze rents,” while the Mamdani administration maintains that the board is an “independent body and considers both tenant and landlord concerns.” The mayoral administration will defend the decision in court, while the Legal Aid Society and Legal Services NYC have filed a request for the court to dismiss the suit entirely. An article in POLITICO from earlier this month reports that the plaintiffs in this suit hope to bring this case all the way to the US Supreme Court.* Our final stories this week take us back to the campaign trail. First up, Alaska Public Media is out with a report about a “chain of political maneuvers in the governor's race,” kicked off by former Anchorage mayor Tom Begich's “decision to step down to give fellow Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins a better shot at winning.” Kreiss-Tomkins finished first in the August primary, followed by Begich in second place and two Republicans in third and fourth respectively. Under Alaska election law, the top four finishers advance to the general election. This piece recounts how Begich's withdrawal sent shockwaves through the Republican candidate field. With Begich out, “Republican Treg Taylor moved into the fourth spot. But on Sunday, Taylor called for [fellow Republicans Bernadette] Wilson and [Dave] Bronson to consolidate their campaigns and pledged to endorse a combined Republican ticket. In a statement, Taylor urged Republicans to unite behind a single candidate, to counter Kreiss-Tompkins.” While fascinating for political junkies, many have observed that the maneuvers on display here and in Alaska's Senate race seem to undercut many of the arguments in favor of ranked-choice voting, with more effort being put into confusing voters or seeking to induce so-called “ballot exhaustion” rather than facilitating a more enlightened civil discourse.* Our final two stories cover the Massachusetts primaries held this Tuesday. The topline, as Semafor reports, is that incumbents swept their primaries in a stark reversal of the insurgent trend in Democratic primaries this cycle. The most notable of these was the crushing victory of 80-year-old incumbent Senator Ed Markey over his 47-year-old challenger, Congressman Seth Moulton. Markey won with approximately two-thirds of the vote. This piece notes that Moulton, younger but running to Markey's right, was never able to establish the “generational change” dynamic he wanted in this race, as “progressives and LGBTQ rights groups rallied behind…[Senator Markey].” On this latter point, Moulton was roundly criticized by Democratic voters, even in his own district, for “scapegoating” transgender people in the wake of the 2024 election. Reporter Dave Weigel adds a coda to this piece: “The subtext of Markey ‘26 was that he would be a reliable progressive vote for whatever the movement wanted for six more years, and then Ayanna Pressley could come in and replace him. Pressley campaigned [with] Markey, starred in ads; [and] at rallies he gushed about how she was the ‘north star' and if you wanted to know what the right side of an issue was, it was the side she was on.”* Finally, with all of that said, the pro-incumbent wave in Massachusetts did cut both ways. Progressive challengers to moderate Democrat incumbents fell short in the state's eighth congressional district – reelecting Congressman Stephen Lynch for a 14th term over progressive voting rights advocate Patrick Roath. Meanwhile, in the first district, WAMC reports Congressman Richie Neal, a longtime scourge of progressives, fended off a primary challenge from teacher Jeromie Whalen in his bid for a 20th term in the House – though Whalen, a political newcomer, won an impressive 46% of the vote. Neal will however face the formidable independent candidate Nadia Milleron in the general election. Milleron won nearly 40% of the vote against Neal in 2024; perhaps, if she wins over enough of Whalen's primary supporters, she can pull out a victory in November.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Canadians and deranged leftists are melting down over Trump's rebranding of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Every leftist nobody has heard of crawled out of the woodwork to announce their hurt feelings. Apparently, changing a name is enough to send the liberals into a full-blown emotional crisis. Sorry, liberals, cry us a river that flows straight into Lake America. The Democrats are completely losing it. CNN can barely keep up with Debbie Dingell's latest meltdown, while Zohran Mamdani is catching heat for sympathizing with a convicted meat-cleaver murderer instead of standing with the victim's family. And James Talarico? He can't win over black voters, so he decided to hang with the p*do-protectors instead. Meanwhile Talarico may have shown us his true Keebler elf voice. At this point, the Democratic Party isn't even trying to hide the chaos, but just putting it on full display. H-1B workers are facing a major shake-up.

Yesterday, we heard from former USAID administrator Dr. Atul Gawande about the lives lost because of the gutting of the United States Agency for International Development. On today's show, we focus on people in Nepal and their experiences before and after the cuts to foreign assistance. In Nepal, USAID helped fund organizations whose efforts centered on fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS. And some of those organizations employed transgender aid workers, who are living in a country where existing outside the gender binary is generally forbidden. But after the cuts to USAID, many of these trans women have resorted to sex work – putting themselves at risk for the same disease they worked so hard to stop. To learn more about their stories, we spoke with Kristen Gelineau, a global investigative reporter for the Associated Press who visited Nepal in the spring.And in headlines, hundreds of people have been killed in flash floods that swept through the Nepal-China border, President Donald Trump announced Lake Ontario will now be known as Lake America, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gets ready to leave the White House.Show Notes: Check out Kristen's work – tinyurl.com/ybc78uka 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
