https://www.youtube.com/watch/E3eK1QINhZM Democrats SLAM Trump Over Election Takeover Plot
Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and Mike Johnson hint at plans to steal the midterm elections, from “nationalizing” the voting to straight-up sending ICE to “surround” the polls. Jon and Dan sound the alarm and offer Democrats some advice on how to respond. Then, they react to Border Czar Tom Homan’s announcement that 700 DHS officers (out of 3,000) will be leaving Minneapolis, Vice President Vance’s refusal to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him a “domestic terrorist,” and Jeff Bezos’s gutting of The Washington Post. Then Dan talks to Maine Governor and Senate candidate Janet Mills about ICE’s operations in her state, what blue states can do to protect the midterms, and whether the Democratic Party has an age problem.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/Wwr8hjCFXNM New Epstein File Release Puts Spotlight on Europe’s Elite | Amanpour and Company
A political crisis is unfolding in Britain after the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein files revealed new details of former Labour politician Peter Mandelson’s ties to the convicted sex offender. Also embroiled in the scandal is U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who admitted to having prior knowledge of Mandelson’s links to Epstein when appointing him U.K. Ambassador to Washington in 2024. But Starmer claims he had no idea of the “depth and darkness” of the relationship. Mandelson was removed from his post last year. The Wall Street Journal’s U.K. Correspondent, Max Colchester, joins the show to discuss the impact this scandal is having on British politics and beyond.

Is Trump deliberately wielding chaos as a negotiating tactic with Iran?

How vulnerable is Starmer’s position heading into the Gorton and Denton by-election?

Active galaxy NGC 1275 is the central, dominant member of the large and relatively nearby Perseus Cluster of Galaxies. Wild-looking at visible wavelengths, the active galaxy is also a prodigious source of x-rays and radio emission. NGC 1275 accretes matter as entire galaxies fall into it, ultimately feeding a supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s core. Narrowband image data used in this sharp telescopic image highlights the resulting galactic debris and filaments of glowing gas, some up to 20,000 light-years long. The filaments persist in NGC 1275, even though the turmoil of galactic collisions should destroy them. What keeps the filaments together? Observations indicate that the structures, pushed out from the galaxy’s center by the black hole’s activity, are held together by magnetic fields. Also known as Perseus A, NGC 1275 itself spans over 100,000 light years and lies about 230 million light years away. via NASA https://go.nasa.gov/3NXQrDx
