    Wrapping Up the Week with Marcy Wheeler on Emptywheel Fridays

    Marcy Wheeler joins me for Emptywheel Friday from an undisclosed location in Ireland and, as usual, we cover a lot of ground: ICE killings in Houston, the collapsed Iran ceasefire and Trump's humiliating plane-swap on the way to NATO, the reflecting pool/canoeist indictment, Musk's antitrust settlement, the Graham Platner fallout and what it says (and doesn't say) about the GOP's rapists, the Maine and Michigan Senate races, my own frustration with the AZ-4 primary challenge to Greg Stanton, Mitch McConnell's mysterious absence, Trump's rollout of new ways to cheat elections, and Marcy's ongoing obsession: Harmeet Dhillon's apparent frame job of journalist Georgia Fort and Don Lemon. We have more on the Epstein files, Todd Blanche's confirmation fight, Pete Hegseth's failures at DOD, and the NATO summit where Trump tried (and failed) to look like he wasn't a laughingstock. I think that's enough for one day... week... decade! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Voters Beware & Informed: Primary Challenger You Need to Know About

    Graham Platner withdrew from Maine's Senate race, and I share my reaction early in the show — but today's episode is really about a primary challenge happening right next door to me in Arizona's 4th Congressional District. Incumbent Democrat Greg Stanton is facing a challenger, Kai Newkirk, who presents himself as a progressive organizer and activist. I went looking for more information on him and found a long, in-depth investigative piece from DC Media Group, archived via the Wayback Machine, detailing his history leading other organizations and campaigns. I read most of it on air today because early voting is underway right now, and he's gaining traction but shouldn't be. Remember, I was correct about Platner.

  3. Donny's Dementia on Display on a Driftglass Wednesday

    Donny's Dementia on Display on a Driftglass Wednesday

    Randy Rainbow's "Demented" opens the show today, and it's a fitting soundtrack for a day where Trump referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and mixed up Zelensky for Putin at a NATO press conference — audio included. Driftglass joins me for our Wednesday get-together, which wanders from the collapsed Iran ceasefire into a long, honest look back at the 1976 Bicentennial, growing up during Vietnam, and how differently college and careers worked back then versus now. We wrap up with this year's Emmy nominations, plus a few words about a soap opera that just might have a Daytime Emmy nod coming its way next year, and close things out with some thoughts on David Brooks' new Atlantic column and where that leaves those of us in the progressive movement right now.

    Digby and I Get at the Real Problem — And It's Frightening

    Heather 'Digby' Parton joins me today, and we start with something genuinely moving — a reworked "Star-Spangled Banner" from the Marsh family in England that stopped me in my tracks. From there we go through the wreckage of Trump's July 4th/250th weekend: the Patriot Front marching on the Mall, Doug Burgum's strange comments about it, and the wave of goodwill for America pouring in from other countries while our own government turned the anniversary into a spectacle. We talk about the World Cup controversy Trump inserted himself into, the healthcare system's ongoing failures (including my own frustrating search for real answers), the fallout from Graham Platner's campaign, the controversy around a New York candidate, and a hard conversation about antisemitism that I don't think gets talked about honestly enough. We close with a new poll on what's actually driving DSA primary wins — and where I think our energy needs to go from here.

    Emptywheel Friday with Marcy Wheeler on the Day Before Independence Day

    It's Emptywheel Friday on the day before the 4th, and Marcy Wheeler and I have plenty to dig into. Top of the list: Trump's "Freedom 250" — the private, secretive operation that hijacked America's real 250th birthday commission and turned it into a money-laundering vehicle for his cronies, according to a new House Natural Resources Committee report. We also cover the record heat descending on the whole country and especially DC this weekend, Trump's nearly $2 billion in stock trading profits while in office, Jeanine Pirro's ridiculous prosecution of an Olympic canoeist, the ongoing fight over the Epstein files, and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's striking speech on American exceptionalism. Plus, Arizona AG Kris Mayes gets a well-deserved shoutout, and I leave you with a 4th of July reminder about fireworks and dogs.

    How to Be a Dissident in These Ugly Times (with Julia Angwin & Ami Fields-Meyer)

    I'm still not feeling great, but today's guests and subject matter were too important to postpone. Julia Angwin and Ami Fields-Meyer are the authors of the brand-new book On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in an Age of Fear. Julia's a longtime tech journalist, Ami worked on tech policy in the Biden White House, and together they interviewed over 100 people across five continents about what it actually takes to resist authoritarianism — and it's not what you think. We talk about building a "political home," the concept of a "belief cascade," and why the celebrities going quiet on us might matter more than we realize. Then Spocko calls in and we dig into QUI TAM lawsuits, Katie Fang's case against Todd Blanche over the Epstein files, and — I promise this is real — the Onion officially taking ownership of Infowars tonight.

  7. The Day SCOTUS Hit Us with Citizens United (and Killed Air America Too!)

    The Day SCOTUS Hit Us with Citizens United (and Killed Air America Too!)

    With the Supreme Court ending their term yesterday with what I call the sequel to Citizens United, NRSC v FEC, which will make things exponentially worse than its predecessor, and I'm not feeling great today, I thought I'd reach back 16.5 years to the day when the Extreme Court handed down that devastating opinion in Citizens United v FEC. It was January 21, 2010. They didn't even wait until the end of the term! To add insult to injury, later that afternoon, I lost my job along with everyone else who worked at Air America Radio. At about 5pm, they pulled the plug on the network for good. At the time, I hosted a late night show from 11pm-1am Eastern, so I decided to take that night's guests which included John Fugelsang, John Bonifaz, Congressman Alan Grayson, Congreswoman Donna Edwards and others (it was a 2-hour show back then!) and go live with video on uStream. We didn't have YouTube then, so this show has never been on YouTube. And it still isn't, but it will be. It's been sitting on Vimeo. How it got there, I don't know! But I found it and am playing it today for the first time since then. I think there are lessons to be learned. Do you? Let me know. As soon as YouTube will edit out the fullsongs I played (fingers crossed). In the meantime, you should be able to hear the audio streams... I hope. This is history in your ears. I hope you'll check it out. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Lisa Graves Joins Us as SCOTUS Screws Us Once More in This Term

    The Supreme Court actually finished its term on time this year — and handed down four rulings on the very last day. Our favorite legal expert Lisa Graves joins me to walk through all of it: birthright citizenship surviving by a shockingly narrow margin, a cruel ruling against trans athletes, and a campaign finance case that makes Citizens United look modest by comparison. We also get into Clarence Thomas's corruption, retirement speculation, and what a Trump SCOTUS pick might look like next. After the break: a caller helps me sort out the confusing 6-3 vs. 5-4 reporting on the birthright citizenship case, and I dig into the deeply disturbing story of Scott Wiener — a longtime trans ally and congressional candidate — getting chased out of San Francisco's Trans March over his stance on Gaza. I've got thoughts on what that kind of infighting actually does for us heading into the midterms. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
