The astonishing, game-changing, audacious Ukrainian drone attack inside Russia that destroyed scores of their fighter jets is being heralded as something that will change the very nature of warfare. And the disgusting terrorist attack on old Jews in Boulder, CO will remind us all of the never-changing allure of antisemitism.

Trump's breathtaking corruption, his vile, meandering graduation speech at West Point, his unpresidential remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, the Bitcoin grift and graft openly selling his presidential influence for his private gain....all were on display this Memorial Day weekend. Sickening. This is not what our brave men and women in uniform fought and died for. Audio Only Archive Stream or download the last 5 shows on the MP3 downloads page.

Lynn railed at the abyssmal voter turnout in Tuesday's mayoral primary election that saw incumbent Mayor Gainey ousted. 74% of elegible voters didn't vote. And we're surprised our democracy is dying? Also, the budget bill passed the House by one vote and will enrich the rich and plague the poor, growing the deficit and throwing millions of Medicaid. Gotta love Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill."

Susan and Lynn talked about their problems with face blindness and the social embarrassments it causes. Also, two stories that point to the cruelty of the current moment: the plan by the Department of Homeland Security to stage a reality show on which immigrants would compete for a chance at citizenship and the pregnant Atlanta nurse that died months ago but is being kept "alive" so her fetus can be delivered, all against the wishes of her family.

Lynn talked about a suggestion from a listener to devote one show a month to anything but political talk. The listener suggested a Throwback Thursday where it'd be reminiscent of the shows we used to do on talk radio, a little of this, a little of that. Lynn thinks it's a great idea. Also a CMU history prof wins a Pulitzer for her book about a Union Army raid led by Harriet Tubman that freed 750 slaves one month before Gettysburg. It was a morale booster for a beleaguered Union army.

Lynn and Susan talked about the open defiance of the Supreme Court by the Trump administration and how that means the United States as a nation of laws and due process is no more. The beginning of the American autocracy was apparent yesterday in the meeting between two dictators in the Oval Office. One the president of El Salvador. The other the president of the United States. It is a day that will live in infamy. Audio Only Archive Stream or download the last 5 shows on the MP3 downloads page.
