The Dispatch

Four women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Congressman Eric Swalwell, now a candidate for governor of California. Julie Roginsky spoke directly with the primary accuser before the story ran in the San Francisco Chronicle and on CNN. She went on CNN later that night to stand up for her.

Four astronauts. Ten days. A quarter-million miles. NASA's Artemis II crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean Friday night — the first humans to return from the Moon since 1972. The Mayday Network covered it live with host Michelle Kinney. 

Melania Trump took the White House podium to deny any friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Nobody asked. Nobody’s buying it. The Daily Dispatch breaks down the bizarre statement, what the administration is still hiding about the Epstein files, and why this denial may have raised more questions than it answered.

NASA's Artemis II made history — the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen took humanity back to the Moon. Michelle Kinney covered it live as it happened, and Mayday Network military analyst Lt. Col. Jaclyn Urso (ret.) stopped by at the end with a message that cut through everything else going on: this is what a better America looks like.

Donald Trump threatened to obliterate Iran's civilization. Hours later, TACO. Even as he announced the ceasefire, Iranian missiles were hitting Israel and Kuwait. This isn't a deal. It's a surrender. Once again none of this needed to happen. Michelle Kinney and Julie Roginsky break down exactly what was lost, who won, and why we cannot go on like this.🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/the-mayday-network/id6754000270 | 🐦 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaydayNetwork |

Saturday morning cartoons for grownups trying to stay sane, stay human, and stay in the fight.Julie's back from Japan and Korea with a lot of thoughts about bullet trains, Korean skincare, and why America is falling behind. Plus: Geno Auriemma's postgame meltdown and what it says about the standards women — especially Black women — are held to in public life. And we opened with Casablanca, because sometimes you just have to.
Also: Opus Dei's grip on our government, the right's war on independent media funding, and why the left keeps losing the culture war one unpaid influencer at a time.

Tonight, Donald Trump addresses the nation on Iran. We'll be honest — none of us want to watch this. But we have to. Joining Michelle Kinney live is retired Lt. Col. Jaclyn Urso, former Judge Advocate of the United States Marine Corps and Mayday Network military analyst.
Together they'll preview what we know going in, watch the address in real time, and talk through what just happened on the other side. No pretending this is normal. Just two people who take this seriously, watching a dangerous man who doesn't.

There is no plan. There is no strategy. There is no one in charge. This is not an April Fools' joke. We wish it were.
This morning, Donald Trump threatened Iran on Truth Social. Rubio made statements last night that should alarm everyone. Trump threatened to leave NATO. The UK Prime Minister said "this is not our war." And tonight, Trump addresses the nation to announce we may be out in two to three weeks? WTF is going on? When he's not rattling sabers at Iran, his feed is full of ballroom photos and racist attacks on birthright citizenship. This is the reality show host who became president — and he is now playing with war.
 

[Recorded LIVE Tuesday March 31, 2026] Kristi Noem has been very busy. Busy separating families. Busy detaining innocent people. Busy being the face of some of the most cruel federal enforcement this country has ever seen.
Her husband, apparently, has also been very busy. With busty balloons.
We have thoughts!
