Counting Every Vote: The Rockland County Lawsuit That Could Shake Things Up

In this episode of The Vlogging Pod, we explore a little-known but powerful lawsuit in Rockland County, NY, led by SMART Elections. The group alleges serious voting discrepancies in the 2024 Presidential and U.S. Senate races backed by affidavits, statistical analysis, and judicial approval for discovery. We unpack what this means for transparency, due process, and how regular people are using the system to fight for election integrity.

Due Process Still Stands: Fighting Back After the May 30th Ruling

After the Supreme Court’s May 30 decision impacting 500,000 immigrants, it might feel like all protections are gone but they’re not. This episode breaks down how earlier Supreme Court rulings from April 7 and May 16 still preserve due process rights. We also highlight how states like Connecticut and Maryland are stepping up, even quietly, and how civil rights groups across the country are fighting to protect immigrant communities. Democracy isn’t gone it’s working behind the scenes.

When the Courthouse Says No to ICE: A Surprise from Ohio

Franklin County, Ohio, quietly implemented a groundbreaking policy on February 26, 2025, banning ICE arrests at courthouses and their entrances. As someone living in a Republican-led state, I wasn’t expecting this kind of bold, people-first move. This episode explores how that policy works, how it compares to similar efforts in places like California and New York, and why even a local act like this can reignite hope for democracy and justice.

This episode breaks down the truth behind the administration’s use of tariffs to stop fentanyl. We compare what’s working treatment and cooperation with what’s not, and ask why real solutions are being replaced with political performance.

How Much of Me Is on the Page?

In this episode we take a vulnerable look at how much of ourselves shows up in the stories we write, intentionally or not. From hidden emotions to quiet truths, we explore the line between personal experience and creative expression, and why it’s okay to decide what stays private.

Trade Authority and the Limits of Power

In this episode of The Vlogging Pod, we examine a recent court ruling that struck down sweeping tariffs imposed under emergency powers. With a brief history of the U.S. Court of International Trade, we explore how the judicial branch reined in executive overreach and reinforced the constitutional balance of power in trade policy.

Immunity Cracked: When a Slip of the Tongue Breaks the Shield

In this follow up to our earlier episode on presidential immunity, we revisit the topic with a new twist: how one comment from a press secretary may have unintentionally undercut the former president’s legal defense. By labeling a controversial crypto fundraiser as "personal time," a distinction was drawn that could strip away the protection of presidential immunity. In this episode, we explore the Supreme Court’s language on official vs. unofficial acts, how that applies to recent events, and whether state level prosecutors might now have a clearer path to hold powerful figures accountable. This isn’t just legal theory, it’s a real crack in the system we’ve been watching for.

What Happens If Medicaid Goes Away? Exploring Alternatives & Holding Onto Hope

This episode offers more than just a warning, it’s a guide for navigating uncertainty and finding real resources when the system falls short. Whether you're a caregiver, a patient, or simply someone trying to stay informed, this one’s for you.
