Texas Republicans are pinning their hopes on Senate candidate Ken
Paxton, the state attorney general who was impeached for abusing
his office. Maine Democrats are pinning theirs on Graham Platner,
who’s had to explain an old tattoo that looks like a Nazi symbol.
Welcome to the 2026 installment of the race to control the U.S.
Senate.

Pope Leo used his platform to warn about the dangers of A.I. It’s
a big topic here in the U.S., but neither the Trump White House
nor Congress seem eager to do much.

Plus, a listener incensed over taxpayer dollars being used for
Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” asks what he should do with his
anger.
