The Dispatch

[Recorded LIVE Tuesday March 31, 2026]  Tom Homan grew up just a few miles from where Mayday Co-Founder Michelle Kinney did. She knows these towns — the harbors, the diners, the people who don't make noise unless they mean it. When someone in that corner of the world decides to say something publicly, it's not for attention. It's because they've made up their mind.
This is the same town that stood up to Homan last year — when ICE swept up a mother and her three schoolchildren in a raid on a dairy farm and sent them to a detention facility in Texas. Nearly a thousand people marched through the streets of Sackets Harbor to Homan's front door. The family came home.
Now the town's Mayor, Alex Morgia, is sending another message. Mayday is the first outside the North Country to report it — and bringing it to our audience around the world.

[RECORDED LIVE MARCH 15, 2026] Part two of Mayday Madness: Selection Sunday. Michelle and her husband Joe Urso are back for the women's bracket. UConn is undefeated, number one overall, and leading the country in basically every stat. Joe has Vanderbilt and their star Michaela Blakes making a deep run.

[RECORDED LIVE March 15, 2026] It's Selection Sunday. Michelle brings in the one person she trusts most for this — her husband Joe Urso, banking regulatory attorney by day, backgammon grandmaster by night, and lifelong sports fanatic. They go region by region through the men's NCAA bracket: teams they like, teams they don't, and mascots that may or may not factor into the picks. Joe has Vanderbilt. It's a tough time to be a Syracuse fan, but Michelle is here anyway.

Julie's in Japan. Michelle's sick. The show must go on. This week it's Michelle solo — running on DayQuil and the sheer will of the comment section. She's got updates on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood launching its first-ever YouTube channel (and why that matters more than it should right now), the genuinely unhinged story of Bill Maher almost receiving the Mark Twain Prize before the White House intervened, and remembering Chuck Norris via the greatest bit from Conan O'Brien.

A federal judge just ruled that the Pentagon's restrictions on press access are unconstitutional. That's a big deal — and it shouldn't get buried.
Michelle breaks it down. Read the full story: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/business/media/pentagon-press-restrictions-new-york-times.html
 

[RECORDED LIVE March 19, 2026]
The Trump administration just subpoenaed James Comey — again. This time it's part of a sweeping "grand conspiracy" investigation targeting the officials who investigated and prosecuted Donald Trump. More than 130 subpoenas have been issued. Former CIA Director John Brennan is also a target. The new grand jury is in Florida. The judge is Aileen Cannon. They tried this once already. A court threw it out. They're back.
Julie and Michelle break down what's happening, why it matters, and what it tells us about where this is all heading.

Saturday morning, and we went everywhere. Julie and Michelle make the case for Hillary Clinton — the real one, not the GOP's media caricature they've made her into. Hillary Clinton, the woman beloved by everyone who actually knows her. The one who handled the Epstein deposition like a boss and still gets blamed for her husband's behavior. Enough already.
Then: New York's 12th Congressional District is heating up. Schlossberg is ahead in the polls, Bloomberg just endorsed Lasher, and nobody quite knows what to do with George Conway. Julie and Michelle know everybody in this race and they're not holding back.
And finally: photographic evidence of Julie's Soviet childhood antisemitism, in the form of a class holiday pageant

Brewster’s Billions. Except Montgomery Brewster had to spend his own money. Pete Hegseth spent yours. A $98,000 Steinway. A handmade Japanese flute. King crab — five times. $225 million in furniture. All of it in a single month, while the average American is rationing insulin, drowning in student debt, and trying to keep the lights on. A GOP senator is now asking the obvious question: if we’re spending $1.5 trillion on defense, can someone explain the fruit basket stands?
Julie and Michelle get into it.

Donald Trump — five draft deferments — is reportedly reconsidering reinstating the draft. Michelle and Julie brought in the right person to talk about it: Lt. Col. Jaclyn Urso (ret.), former Judge Advocate of the United States Marine Corps and The Mayday Network's military analyst.
What does it actually take to reinstate the draft? What are the legal and constitutional guardrails? And what does it mean that the man who spent his entire life avoiding military service is now deciding who has to serve?
