June 24, 2022 07:05 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

The Supreme Court released opinions on Wednesday in six different cases across a range of issues including veterans’ benefits, Medicare reimbursements, and gambling on tribal lands. Those six decisions did not include the case that could overturn Roe v. Wade, but in the meantime abortion access has already ended in many states.

The Bitter Reality Of Tennessee's Mandatory Minimums

June 14, 2022 07:05 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

The second public January 6th hearing was yesterday. The House committee focused on the lie that the election was stolen and how that fueled the attack on the Capitol. A 16-year-old was essentially sentenced to life in prison in 1996 under Tennessee’s harsh criminal justice system. Our very own Josie Duffy Rice shares her work that follows the story of Almeer Nance, who was sentenced to 51 years in prison for felony murder despite never having pulled the trigger. In headlines: Ohio pursues...

Gun Control Deals N' Roses

June 13, 2022 07:05 - 22 minutes - 20.1 MB

Protesters in hundreds of cities around the country rallied against gun violence, last weekend. And on Sunday, a bipartisan group of Senators announced a deal to increase gun safety measures. If passed, it would lead to enhanced background checks, pave the way for additional red flag laws in states, and more. The overall scope of the Senate package, however, falls short of the strong measures that President Biden and others demanded. San Francisco voters recalled progressive District Attorn...

Don't Rainbow-Wash On My Parade

June 03, 2022 07:05 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

June is Pride Month, the unfortunate time when many corporations claim they support LGBTQ+ people, but also support politicians who actively work against LGBTQ+ rights. It’s not a new phenomenon – even before June, for example, activists called out Disney, which promotes itself as being gay-friendly. We talk about “rainbow washing” with journalist Fran Tirado, and how corporate pride can be done respectfully. And in headlines: President Biden delivered a prime-time address on guns, today ma...

June 02, 2022 07:05 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

A jury found that both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were liable for defamation in their lawsuits against each other.

Parents and other community members in Uvalde, Texas, are criticizing local police for its handling of the Robb Elementary School shooting where 21 people were killed on Tuesday.

May 24, 2022 07:05 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MB

COVID cases are rising again in the U.S. In just the past month alone, the average number of confirmed cases has doubled according to the CDC.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, epidemiologist and host of Crooked’s “America Dissected,” joins us to discuss how to get an accurate estimate of the surge as we head into summer.  And in headlines: The first Russian soldier co...

Panic! At The New York Redistrict

May 20, 2022 07:05 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

Oklahoma’s legislature passed the country’s strictest abortion bill. The ban goes further than Texas’ abortion law, and if signed by Republican Governor Kevin Stitt it would take effect immediately. After the New York State Court of Appeals declared maps drawn by the legislature unconstitutional, a court-appointed “special master” released a new set of Congressional districts for the state. The Brennan Center’s Michael Li joins us to discuss the chaos that erupted from New York’s newly draw...

May 18, 2022 07:05 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MB

President Biden traveled to Buffalo, New York, yesterday to speak with the families of victims of the white supremacist mass shooting, as well as other community members. Without invoking any particular names, Biden also referenced political and media figures who have attempted to gain from spreading the racist lie of the so-called “replacement theory.” A judge in Michigan temporarily blocked the state’s nearly century-old abortion ban from going back into effect if Roe v. Wade is overturne...

Racism Fueled Buffalo's Mass Shooting

May 17, 2022 07:05 - 21 minutes - 20 MB

Federal officials are investigating Saturday’s shooting in Buffalo, New York, as both a hate crime and “racially-motivated violent extremism.” The gunman touted the white supremacist theory that immigrants and folks of color are “replacing” white Americans and voters.

A Failed Attempt To Codify Roe with Sen Kirsten Gillibrand

May 12, 2022 07:05 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MB

The Senate failed to pass a bill on Wednesday that would effectively codify the right to an abortion. The bill, called, “The Women’s Health Protection Act,” was expected to fail because Democrats didn’t have enough votes to pass it and beat a filibuster.  Democratic New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand joins us to discuss what comes next. And in headlines: Palestinian-American reporter Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed in the West Bank, over 107,000 people died from a drug overdose last...

May 11, 2022 07:05 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

Parents nationwide are facing extreme difficulty feeding their newborns amid a widespread shor...

Voters Could Protect Abortion Rights In Michigan

May 10, 2022 07:05 - 17 minutes - 15.7 MB

Michigan has a 1931 law on the books that criminalizes abortion. That law has not been enforced since 1973 when Roe v Wade was decided, but it hasn’t been repealed either. And so it would take effect again should Roe be overturned because the state’s GOP-controlled legislature said they don’t plan to revoke it. We talk with Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, which is gathering signatures to put a referendum on the ballot this fall to bypass the legislature and take the matter directly to vo...

Off-Peak Pandemic

May 02, 2022 07:05 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MB
