The Mayday Daily Dispatch
The Daily Dispatch is The Mayday Network’s rapid response to the day’s most urgent stories — where we cut through the noise and call it what it is. Hosted by Michelle Kinney and Julie Roginsky, and featuring members of the Mayday family, it’s sharp, unfiltered analysis for a country in crisis.
Episodes
A new survivor has come forward against Congressman Eric Swalwell — and the account is harrowing. Julie Roginsky and Michelle Kinney break down the press conference, the pattern of allegations, what it means that he's leaving Congress, and why the Me Too movement is very much not over.

Eric Swalwell resigns. Julie Roginsky and Michelle Kinney break it down in real time — the statement, the strategy, the survivors, and the question of who knew what and when.
Julie, who has been directly in contact with the primary survivor, walks through why this story came out now, why the MAGA plant narrative doesn't hold, and what the Ethics Committee would have found if he'd stayed.

Viktor Orbán is out — and it wasn't close. Hungary delivered a supermajority to the opposition, breaking a sixteen-year grip on power. Julie Roginsky connects the dots: Peter Thiel, JD Vance, the Rockbridge Network, Project 2025, and the line that runs from Silicon Valley through Budapest straight to Moscow. That line just snapped.
Saturday morning cartoons for grownups trying to stay sane, stay human, and stay in the fight. Plus our theory about Donald Trump. This week: it's a lot.
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...
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/id...
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.

Opening: Clip from Charlie Wilson's War (2007)
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 ti...
[Recorded LIVE Wednesday April 1, 2026]
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 t...
[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!
[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 s...
[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...
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 ...
[RECORDED LIVE March 20, 2026]
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...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light.
