			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Mark Joseph Stern, Slate Magazine
Original airdate 3-24-2026. Riverside County GOP sheriff-turned-CA gubernatorial candidate bizarrely seized 650k ballots to 'investigate' baseless fraud allegations in last year's Prop 50 race. NC GOP state senate leader loses GOP primary by 23 votes. Trump voted by mail in Florida then falsely attacked voting by mail. Slate's court reporter MARK JOSEPH STERN explains US Supreme Court oral arguments on Monday in which the Republican National Committee is suing to block state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots. Stern discusses the absurd legal arguments and the far-right justices' ridiculous hypotheticals, why states have grace periods, implications for the critical 2026 midterm elections, and much more. Plus our new 'Green News Report.']]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Ryan Cooper, Managing Editor, The American Prospect 
Original airdate 3-18-2026. Lots of notable election results in the Illinois statewide primary, which was absolutely inundated with a tidal wave of dark money campaign cash. Corporate media outlets downplayed the flood of money, instead framing an unsupported narrative of progressives vs. establisment Democrats. The American Prospect's Ryan Cooper explains how the rest of the world is catching on to the fact that domestically-produced, cheap renewable energy is now a national security imperative for every nation (including ours), and much more.]]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Talia Nimmer, Center for Biological Diversity 
Original airdate 3-16-2026. New developments reveal that Donald Trump's War on Iran is not going well. Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil despite Russia helping Iran target the US military.
