Michigan’s 2026 primary election is on Aug. 4. The list of candidates for statewide office has changed dramatically since the ballots were finalized and printed.
Three candidates for statewide office who are on the ballot have since ended their campaigns.
But what do you do if you’ve already cast an absentee ballot for one of them and want to change your vote?
For the answer to that and other voting questions, Michigan Deputy Secretary of State Aghogho Edevbie spoke with Morning Edition host Doug Tribou. ..
The Democratic governor, who took office this year, blamed a Motor Vehicle Commission system software error but said a preliminary analysis showed that fewer than 400 of the people registered that way went on to cast ballots...
Doug Wilson's latest NPR interview has reignited debate over Christian nationalism—but what does he actually believe, and why does it matter?
This week, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down Wilson's comments on voting, patriarchy, the Constitution, and the future of American government. They explain why Wilson's vision isn't simply "traditional values," but a fundamentally different political philosophy that replaces individual rights with patriarchal households as the basic unit of American society.
They also connect Wilson's ideas to broader political developments, including:
Ken Paxton's latest controversies and what they reveal about evangelical political power.
The GOP's renewed push to end birthright citizenship and why the issue continues to dominate conservative politics despite recent Supreme Court rulings.
The growing mainstream acceptance of Christian Reconstructionism and why Doug Wilson has become one of the country's most influential Christian nationalist thinkers.
Tech billionaire Bryan Johnson's quest to defeat aging—and what Silicon Valley's obsession with "hacking" the human condition says about modern culture.
Throughout the episode, Brad and Dan explore how Christian nationalism, technocracy, and the pursuit of political power are reshaping American democracy, religion, and public life.
A federal judge throws out Justice Department subpoenas of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey calling them “blatantly unlawful.”
The full DC Circuit Court of Appeals panel will hear arguments over Judge Boasberg’s contempt inquiry into CECOT deportations.
Former IRS officials call for a Miami judge to scrutinize Trump's “breathtakingly improper” immunity from tax audits as part of the Justice Department’s anti-weaponization slush fund settlement.
The Director of National Intelligence commissioned two reports on voting machine accuracy that show no votes were flipped in 2020 but the White House is blocking their release.
If you haven't watched Trump's latest meltdown on Meet The Press, you should check it out because it's both painful to watch yet so enjoyable to watch this orange man baby crack under tough questioning from Kristen Welker. Trump reported by rehashing his lies about voter fraud, which he used in 2020 when discussing the results of California's election. It's important to remember that Trump is freaking out because his endorsed candidate for governor, Steve Hilton, might not make it into the top two spots in California's jungle primary once all of the votes are counted. This explains the rehashing of the Big Lie about massive voter fraud, especially heading into the 2026 midterm elections. It truly was a massive trainwreck for Trump.
Speaking of the 2026 midterm elections, we discuss whether we're still backing Graham Platner's U.S. Senate candidacy in Maine after a whole week's worth of controversial allegations. And while we're on the topic of trainwrecks, we'll also talk about Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton doing Larry and David Ellison's bidding to kill off all of CBS News' credibility while turning it into a MAGA propaganda machine.

After another horrifying murder and ICE’s continued unwelcome presence in Minnesota, Al is joined by friend of the show, political scientist, and emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, Norm Ornstein, to discuss what is happening in their home state.
After widespread reports of American citizens being detained, ICE using children as "bait," and the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration seems open to drawing back the ICE presence in Minnesota. Al and Norm discuss what a possible deal could look like to get them out of the state. Will Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem face any consequences for their lies and aggression?
After spending time meeting with organizers in the Twin Cities, Al shares what he learned from constitutional observers and others making their community safer and caring for each other.

If it became law, the Save Act would require Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport, or other citizenship document to register or re-register to vote.

While just over 8% of self-identified white American citizens don't have these documents readily available, the Brennan Center found the number is nearly 11% among Americans of color...
