Reveal

“Do I worry about this? Damn right I do.” @schiff.senate.gov warns that President Donald Trump could interfere in the midterms. What Schiff and others are doing to protect midterms, this week on Reveal.

In the run-up to this year’s midterm elections, one of the defining campaign issues is the elections themselves. Listen to this special episode of Reveal about the ongoing fight over who gets to vote in America.

“If that’s my right fundamentally, why are you taking my right away from me?” @blackvotersmatterfund.org co-founder LaTosha Brown talks about her work to expand voting rights in the South and push back against voter suppression efforts. Listen to our latest:

@hcrichardson.bsky.social’s millions of loyal readers look to her for sanity and democratic reassurance through her newsletter, “Letters from an American.” But that doesn’t mean the historian herself isn’t worried about where America’s heading:

As midterms approach, historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social lays out a game plan for Democrats if they regain Congress. “We need to start holding people accountable, not even on day one, on minute one.” More on this week's More To The Story: apple.co/47yU0qh

For decades, Black voters have sued their states to draw voting districts with racial equity in mind. But this past spring, the Supreme Court took a majority-Black district in Louisiana and gutted the section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that created it.

Hundreds of thousands of voters will be heading to the polls in two weeks in newly redrawn, majority-white, majority-Republican districts. This week on Reveal, we look at the Supreme Court decision that made that happen.

In 2026, the Supreme Court essentially gutted the Voting Rights Act, giving Republican-controlled legislatures a green light to redraw congressional districts ahead of the midterms. This week on Reveal, come with us to Louisiana to hear what this means for the state and the rest of the South.

“There are people who are openly white supremacists who are consolidating power at record speed...If that don’t move you, it ain’t nothing that I can say that can move you.” LaTosha Brown from the @blackvotersmatterfund.org joins us on this week's More To The Story:

Death row spiritual adviser Jeff Hood is inside America’s execution chambers for the final moments of inmates’ lives. Last year, he talked to our friends at @revealnews.org about how capital punishment in the US today illustrates American society’s increasing movement in a more violent direction.

The Supreme Court gutted much of the Voting Rights Act earlier this year. What does that mean for organizers on the ground working to expand voting rights in the South? Our friends at @revealnews.org asked one of them.

What does the weakening of Black political power look like for someone working to expand voting access for minority communities? Ask LaTosha Brown of @blackvotersmatterfund.org. This week, she joins us to talk redistricting, restrictive voter ID laws, and more.

On this week’s “More To The Story,” @blackvotersmatterfund.org co-founder LaTosha Brown talks about her fight against voter suppression efforts in the South—and why it’s more important now than ever to get out the vote in minority communities. Listen to the full episode today: tinyurl.com/bdr547d5

This week on Reveal, we examine how the long shadow of doubt over the 2020 elections is being weaponized and what it means ahead of the 2026 midterms.

You might think the 2020 election is old news. But it’s casting a long shadow over the 2026 midterms and beyond, with real implications for who can vote and how easy it will be. 🎧 Listen to our latest episode:

I spent months following Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life and one of the country’s most influential anti-abortion leaders, for a profile and doc for @motherjones.com and @revealnews.org Lots of fascinating details didn’t make it into the piece. Head to Reddit to ask me anything!

Three years after October 7, when much of the Western world rallied behind Israel in the wake of Hamas’ attack, the political ground has shifted. On Reveal, we ask: As the old political consensus is tested, who gets to shape what replaces it? Listen here: bit.ly/46Z4HlO

J. Christian Adams is a conservative activist who claims people are routinely voting using dead voters’ names and IDs. Host @alletson.bsky.social challenged those claims. Then…Adams ended the interview. Hear the wild ending on this week’s “More To The Story.”

Trump says voter fraud is rampant. The evidence says otherwise. On this week's More To The Story, Mother Jones' @ariberman.bsky.social joins us to discuss what conservative activists who say election fraud is rampant are really trying to achieve. 🎧 Listen: apple.co/4j58dlP

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has.”

The 2016 election that put Donald Trump in the White House the first time was defined in many ways by the role of America’s longtime adversary, Russia. As the 2026 midterms approach, experts warn that Russia could interfere in US elections once again.

What do President Donald Trump and Tinkerbell have in common? Without people believing in them, they’re rendered powerless.

America’s relationship with Israel is becoming an electoral fault line, dividing both parties and major Jewish political groups. Reporter Najib Aminy follows the new fault lines and asks: As the old political consensus is tested, who gets to shape what replaces it?

Something is shifting among American voters and Israel. On this week’s Reveal, we explore how America’s relationship with one of its closest allies became a political fault line that’s increasingly showing up at the ballot box:

For decades, Republicans’ unwavering support for Israel was the norm. Curt Mills of The American Conservative says that’s changing. Younger conservatives are questioning military aid, foreign intervention, and the meaning of “America First.”

@jeremybenami.bsky.social and @bethavedon.bsky.social both believe the politics around Israel are shifting. But they have very different ideas about where they’re headed. We ask the leaders of J Street and Jewish Voice for Peace where they draw the new lines.

Our latest episode tackles Israel's shifting role in US politics heading into the midterms. We think you'll find it enlightening.

You can listen to our latest episode here:

Something is shifting among American voters and Israel. Democrats who protested their own party over Gaza are now running for office, openly challenging AIPAC’s influence. This week on Reveal, we ask: If the old consensus around Israel is breaking, what comes next?

JD Vance recently said during a Florida rally, "When Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the right response is to say, 'Then get the hell out of here." Nixon's response to similar comments: "They are afraid that I am breaking through, and so they want to demonize me."

The botched execution of Christa Pike supports what Rev. Jeff Hood, spiritual advisor to the condemned, told us last year: This country's use of capital punishment shows that we, as a society, "have moved in a more violent direction."

During her time as a state representative, Angie Nixon has been "the biggest thorn in Ron DeSantis’ side." Now, she's hoping to prove that the deep-red state of Florida is ready for a democratic socialist senator. This week on More To The Story:

Can a democratic socialist win in deep-red Florida? @angieforfl.bsky.social thinks so. The candidate for US Senate joins us this week to talk about her grassroots campaign for Congress and how the DSA is reshaping the midterms.

President Donald Trump's second term has often felt like an exercise in mass distraction. This chaos wouldn't be possible with the president's loyal yes-men (and women) in his cabinet. On this week's More To The Story:

The Trump administration’s second term can feel overwhelming and exhausting. That’s by design, says @nytimes.com reporter Jonathan Swan. Listen to @alletson.bsky.social’s interview with the co-author of Regime Change on this week’s “More To The Story.”
