    Trump and Hegseth Kicked Her Out of the Military. She's Fighting Back By Running for Congress! with Col. (Ret.) Bree Fram

    President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender Americans from serving in the military — and Col. (Ret.) Bree Fram was forced out after more than 20 years of service. She’s a patriot. An Iraq War veteran. A rocket scientist. The first openly transgender officer promoted to colonel in the United States Armed Forces. She served in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, led LGBTQ+ initiatives inside the Department of the Air Force, and deployed overseas during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Then she was told she could no longer serve. Now she’s running for Congress in Virginia’s 11th District. This is a conversation about service, erasure, and what happens when a country turns on its own soldiers — and why she’s choosing to fight back instead of walk away. [Recorded February 11, 2026 -- Published February 23, 2026] Learn more about Bree’s campaign: https://www.teambree.com The Mayday Network is women-founded, women-led independent media — built for a country in crisis.

    Sheriff Chris Swanson -- Leading With Trust: Law Enforcement, Democracy, and a Run for Governor

    Michigan Sheriff Chris Swanson — a Democrat running for governor — joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, public safety, and the future of law enforcement in America. We talk about why he’s running, what a different model of policing looks like, and how trust between communities and law enforcement can be rebuilt.   We also discuss Minneapolis — why the violence and federal crackdown didn’t come out of nowhere, what went wrong, and what real accountability and reform actually require in this moment.   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/the-mayday-network/id6754000270   Follow The Mayday Network: https://www.themaydaynetwork.com https://twitter.com/MaydayNetwork https://www.instagram.com/TheMaydayNetwork https://www.threads.net/@TheMaydayNetwork https://bsky.app/profile/themaydaynetwork.com

    Rep. Jim Himes on Venezuela Boat Strikes, Rules of War, and America's Intelligence Crisis | The Mayday Podcast Ep. 1

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Mayday Podcast, hosted by Michelle Kinney and Julie Roginsky, co-founders of The Mayday Network. For Episode 1, we’re joined by Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT), the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, for a candid, deeply unsettling conversation about the state of U.S. national security—and the consequences of decisions being made behind closed doors. We discuss recent Venezuela boat strikes, the rules of war, congressional oversight, and what happens when due process and accountability begin to erode. Himes also weighs in on America’s alliances, intelligence sharing with key partners, and why trust—once lost—is extraordinarily difficult to rebuild. Along the way, we confront political hypocrisy, “nothing matters” governance, and the dangerous normalization of actions that would have once shocked the country. This is what The Mayday Podcast is about: serious conversations with people who actually know what’s happening, grounded in facts—not spin. Democrats, Republicans, anyone is welcome. No lies. No b******t. Presented by @TheMaydayNetwork. The Mayday Network is an independent, women-owned media company built to tell the truth, push back against authoritarianism, and create a community where people can come together—unapologetically and unfiltered. We cover politics, news, culture, entertainment, sports, and the fight against disinformation—all with the urgency that our name demands.
