Darren discussed these topics:

Social Security recipients can no longer verify their identity over the phone beginning March 31. This means that millions of recipients would have to make an in person visit to a Social Security office or use the computer to verify their identity. The Trump administration is doing this to remove people from the rolls.

The Trump administration is calling property damage attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships "domestic terrorism." Darren once again explained to listeners that property damage is not violence or domestic terrorism.

Democrats have an identity crisis that could ruin their chances of winning races in 2026.

"60 Minutes" on CBS is going after the Trump administration in spite of a $20 Billion lawsuit Trump filed against the network.

The U.S. Supreme Court seems to be in no hurry to rule on birthright citizenship.

And Judge James "Jeb" Boasberg is demanding answers from the Justice Department over deportation flights to El Salvador after he approved an injunction against the deportations.

Donald Trump repeatedly lied and made exaggerated claims during his address to a joint session of Congress.

His address sounded more like a political speech than it did a State of the Union address.

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was ejected during the speech when he interrupted Trump. On Thursday, he was censured by Congress.

A second federal judge extended a block to keep the Trump administration from freezing funding.

Trump wants to dismantle the Department of Education. Darren explained some of the things the department does.

And Darren has no sympathy for government workers who voted for Trump and are now fired by him.

Thousands of protesters came out across the country Wednesday to speak out against the Trump Administration and Project 2025.

Now Trump wants to take over the Gaza Strip and redevelop it, forcing Palestinians from their homeland (ethnic cleansing).

Palestinians say they won't leave the Gaza Strip.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in favor of Trump's Gaza Strip proposal and is also in favor of dismantling USAID.

A Justice Department official said that FBI agents who simply followed orders won't be fired for probing Trump's involvement in the January 6 traitorous riot or the classified documents case. Darren doesn't believe the official.

Meanwhile, FBI agents have sued the Trump administration to keep their names from being published. They're fearful of retaliation from the January 6 criminals who have been pardoned.

Trump announced that the United States will withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council and will stop funding UNRWA, which is assisting Palestinian refugees.

Elon Musk said he deleted a government program that oversaw the IRS Direct File program, but Direct File is still working for American taxpayers.

Nearly a dozen Republicans have announced their run for President with at least three more announcements eminent.

Darren went through some of the terms of the debt ceiling deal, which passed both houses of Congress this week. The environment, the poor, and college with students with debt are the big losers in this deal.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said he would vote no on the debt ceiling deal. He joined 31 Republicans and 4 Democrats who opposed it.

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Other members of the group have also been sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

Prosecutors are going after money raised through crowdfunding websites by defendants in January 6 cases.

In the second half of the show, Darren was joined by Jack Prince as they interviewed former Mason Public Schools teacher Katelyne Thomas. Katelyne left the district after they denied her request to use materials from a Black Lives Matter approved curriculum to teach Black history. We asked her about efforts to limit teaching Black history across the country, book bans, and the city's racist history that was detailed in James Loewen's book "Sundown Towns."

Between interviews, we were joined by slam poet Native Child Brown, who read a poem about Malcolm X.

Protests are expected to resume in France against President Macron's pension reforms.

Another mass shooting took place in the U.S. Eight people were murdered at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas.

Another mass shooting, this time in Louisville, Kentucky.

A man who accidentally shot a pro-life supporter who was on his property pled no contest to a handful of charges.

Ottawa County, Michigan's Board of Commissioners are looking at a proposal to make the county a "second amendment sanctuary."

Meanwhile, other Michigan counties are trying to restrict their local boards of health of their abilities to respond to future pandemics and other public health emergencies.

Two Tennessee House members who were expelled by Republicans last week were unanimously reinstated by their local areas as interim representatives until special elections can be held.

The NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship game had lots of people talking about unsportsmanlike conduct of one of the players. Could racism be the root cause of the criticism?

Federal investigators are looking into whether Trump Media violated money laundering laws when they accepted $8 Million from sources tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And Florida's legislature is looking at bills to go after LGBTQ people and journalists.

Jack Prince joined Darren to talk about an upcoming live interview with a member of the Mason, Michigan city council who's pushing for a day of commemoration for Malcolm X.

A Republican sponsored bill would force Michigan libraries to have a separate section for books deemed "obscene". This is a problem manufactured by Republicans because libraries can't purchase obscene material under state law.

Michigan Democratic legislators are ready to repeal right-to-work (for less money) that was passed a decade ago. They're also ready to reinstate prevailing wage, which is good news for workers. Republicans are threatening to retaliate by sponsoring a ballot initiative to enshrine right-to-work in the State Constitution.

A U.S. Department of Justice investigation showed that police in Louisville, Kentucky used excessive force, conducted searches using invalid warrants, and discriminated against Black people.

News Corp. Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch admitted under deposition testimony that Fox allowed election deniers on air when they knew that their claims were false.

Text messages taken during discovery in the Dominion Voting Machine lawsuit against Fox shows that several of their hosts wanted to put Donald Trump in the rear view mirror just days before the January 6, 2021 traitorous insurrection.

And Tucker Carlson used footage provided by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to push his own narrative of the January 6 insurrection. Democrats and some Republicans are angry with one Republican lawmaker describing Carlson's analysis of the video as "bulls**t."

The Ottawa County, Michigan Board of Commissioners is attempting to undo actions of the previous board. Meanwhile, the Ottawa County Republican Party wants to introduce a resolution making the county a "Second Amendment sanctuary."

Darren implores everyone to completely boycott Ottawa County until new leadership is in charge. He also wants Governor Gretchen Whitmer to invoke the Emergency Manager law in the county.

Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) said he was "mistaken" over what he earned his college degree in after a local television station investigated his claims.

The Michigan Republican Party chose failed Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo as their new chair at the state party convention.

Many "moderate" Republicans didn't attend the convention, as it appears they are being pushed out by far right extremists.

Karamo's ex-husband alleged in court documents in 2021 that she threatened to crash a car with him, her, and their two children in it when he asked her for a divorce.

A defamation lawsuit filed by a voting technology company against Fox will continue after a court failed to dismiss the case.

The Securities and Exchange Commission said an investment management company operated by the Mormon church tried to hide a $32 Billion investment portfolio. The investment company and the church agreed to pay penalties totaling $5 Million to settle the charges.

Darren said it's time to heavily tax the churches.

House Republicans want to stop the Federal Trade Commission from issuing a rule banning non-compete agreements in just about every type of employment. Republicans want the rich to get richer while making the poor even poorer.

Darren said that the public needs to keep Christo-fascism in check now.

In an act reminiscent of the January 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington, supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro engage in their own insurrection, causing damage to the Presidential palace, the Supreme Court, and Congress.

Bolsonaro was at Mar-A-Lago while the attempted insurrection was happening. Could he be extradited back to Brazil? How deep are his ties to Donald Trump and friends?

Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to look into classified documents found in President Joe Biden's think tank office and in a locked garage at his Delaware residence. The documents are from the Obama administration when Biden was Vice-President.

There's a huge difference between the few documents found at Biden's office and the large amount of documents found at Mar-A-Lago.

A journalist said she was fired from West Virginia Public Broadcasting due to her reporting of alleged abuse of disabled people by the state's Department of Health and Human Resources.

A Michigan Court of Claims judge issued an injunction against the State Attorney General’s office from enforcing the 1931 state ban on abortion if Roe v Wade is overturned.

Katy went through a long list of possible scenarios that conservatives probably haven’t thought about when it comes to overturning Roe.

Darren said that if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe, it could take 50-100 years for a future Supreme Court to fix it. What will women who want an abortion do in the meantime?

Katy reminded us that protesting is a privilege because some people who want to protest can’t for economic and health reasons.

19 children and 2 adults are dead after yet another school shooting in the U.S., this time in Uvalde, Texas.

What will it take for Republicans to get on board with gun control laws?

More primary elections were held on Tuesday.

Trump supported candidates had a bad night in Georgia.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) survived the primary against several challengers.

The runoff between Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and progressive Jessica Cisneros is too close to call, even though Cuellar declared himself the winner.

The Michigan Elections Bureau said that five Republican candidates for Governor didn't collect enough valid signatures to qualify for the August primary and should be removed from the ballot.

And Michigan conservatives are having problems getting signatures on ballot petitions to limit the health department response to pandemics and to disenfranchise voters.

Several states had primary elections on May 17. We covered some of the results.

The Pennsylvania Republican Senate primary between Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund manager David McCormick is too close to call, while progressive John Fetterman won the Democratic Senate primary.

Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano will, by his own admission, end abortion and control elections if he's elected.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) lost his primary race against a McDonald's franchisee.

In Idaho, Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin (R) lost her bid to primary Governor Brad Little (R) out of office.

Jack wondered why the Democrats aren't fighting harder against Republicans.

Activists allegedly spray painted graffiti on the driveways and sidewalks in front of the homes of several Grand Rapids, Michigan city commissioners and Mayor Rosalynn Bliss to protest the shooting death of Patrick Lyoya.

Jack asked why there's been no pushback against Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker for stalling the investigation into the shooting of Lyoya.

Darren and Jack can't find any progressive Black leaders in Grand Rapids, but they can find lots of establishment status quo Black leaders.

We talked about the shooting at the Tops Grocery store in Buffalo, New York.

Yet another white shooter is captured alive while unarmed Black men are shot to death by police.

And a Michigan Court of Claims judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the state from enforcing a 1931 ban on abortions if Roe v Wade is overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Hammer Time: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) says no to the Build Back Better program. When will an actual progressive primary him?

From July 22, 2015: Darren and Joe Elder were in the studio with Nate Kettle. On the phone were Jim Goerner and union official Buck Geno. The group was talking about the efforts in Michigan to have legislative districts redrawn every 10 years by a citizens committee instead of the party in power. This led to Joe and Nate getting into a shouting match about whether the Democrats were any better than the Republicans. In this clip, Joe correctly predicted that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) would be screwed out of the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary.

From March 23, 2016: April Crowe, Jim Chase, and Stan Ward joined Darren in studio. Darren and Jim are angry about the Democratic Party shenanigans in the Arizona primary, so much so that Darren announced that he left the Democratic Party and that Democrats “would never get another g*ddamn penny” from him. Darren and April then got into a heated argument about independent voters being shut out of the primary process, even though 40% of voters are independent. Darren was so mad that he left the studio for the remainder of the show.

From July 14, 2017: KJ Millo joined Darren and Jack Prince. The trio discussed political fatigue, authoritarianism, organizing protests, the failures of the Democratic Party, and the lack of consequences for Trump and his supporters over comments they made.
