			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Heather Digby Parton, Salon; 'Driftglass', Pro Left Podcast 
Original airdate 6-25-2026. The US Supreme Court's rightwing supermajority issued rulings in favor of Donald Trump's immigration policies, from destroying Temporary Protected Status for refugees from Haiti and Syria, to allowing Trump to violate US asylum laws, barring yet another gun safety law, and shielding Monsanto from liability over its cancer-causing weedkiller. Lower courts blocked Trump's unlawful efforts to restrict mail-in ballots. Salon's HEATHER DIGBY PARTON and 'DRIFTGLASS' of the Pro-Left Podcast deliver insight, analysis, history and hilarity in discussing the 2026 midterm elections, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Iran War, Trump's Reflecting Pool fiasco, corruption and needed reforms, and much more. Plus our new 'Green News Report.]]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Michael Mechanic, Senior Editor, Mother Jones Magazine 
Original airdate 6-17-2026. Donald Trump appears to have made major concessions to Iran in signing a 'memorandum of understanding' that will pause military action for 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz while negotiating a final agreement.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Nancy Altman, President, Social Security Works
Original airdate 6-11-2026. The Ebola outbreak in Africa is on track to become the worst in history, with help from Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE Bros, who dismantled public health funding and US AID. Florida's GOP-controlled state supreme court approved new, partisan-gerrymandered US House maps despite the state constitution's ban on partisan gerrymanders. Social Security expert NANCY ALTMAN explains the new trustees report warning that Social Security faces a partial shortfall in 2032, the multiple factors causing the shortfall, false 'fixes' promoted by Republicans to ultimately dismantle Social Security, and much more.
