October 28, 2026, 4pm; One sign of the end of the rule of law is that facts and evidence of a case are pursued at the end stage after the targets have been identified.

October 26, 2026; 5pm: In Trump's second term, there is a vast accountability void in the DOJ, begging the question as to who might step in and be proactive in filling that void. A group of veteran federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers has created "The Rule of Law Project" in an attempt to do what the DOJ refuses to do.

October 26, 2026; 4pm: Around the world, the fight for democracy is ringing true and toppling strong-men leaders. In Brazil, Lula da Silva retained power in an election against right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of previous Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving 27 years in prison for trying to overturn Brazil's last election. In Serbia, strong-man ruler Aleksandar Vučić was toppled by a student-led movement&nb...
October 23, 2026; 5pm: Russia has returned an American hostage, and it is something to celebrate. What is causing many to pause, however, is what Trump was willing to give up in exchange. Trump lifted sanctions on Russia, which he previously signed into law. This is the latest in what former CIA analyst Julia Curlee calls Putin reaping the rewards for interfering in the 2016 election.

October 23, 2026; 4pm: Trump's DOJ filed a preemptive lawsuit against Alaska, seeking to block the senate election results if anyone other than the Republican incumbent, Sen. Dan Sullivan, wins. The reason? There is an unaffiliated candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan, who is also on the ballot. The DOJ claims that the election's integrity could be compromised because voters could be confused between the two Sullivans. This...
October 22, 2026; 5pm: Elon Musk and the White House are engaged in a robust game of pointing fingers at each other after Ukraine's Zelensky said that Starlink, the Musk-owned military grade system Ukraine uses in its war against Russia's invasion, was slowed and less functional.

October 21, 2026, 5pm; Alina Habba Mildon denied any role in the pardon, and the Herreras did not respond to the Times' multiple requests for comment. In a statement, the Justice Department told the Times that Mildon didn't speak to anyone about a pardon, and a White House official said Mildon had nothing to do with the Herrera pardon. But there's no doubt, it fits into a much larger, more troubling pattern.

October 21, 2026, 4pm; Trying to convince us that up is down and black is white in a meeting with Vladimir Putin to discuss restarting peace talks with Ukraine, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff apparently called the Russian president a "humanitarian."

October 19, 2026, 4pm; The first of those two obsessions is, of course, himself. This is not exactly ground-breaking analysis of a certified narcissist -- except Republicans seeking office and the voters they're hoping to convince are all but shouting lately that they want less Donald Trump, not more. His brand new polling isn't just bad. It's a disaster.

...October 15, 2026; 5pm: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in a difficult position because to defend Ukraine, he needs to ask the U.S. for help with weapons and intelligence. However, Donald Trump has intensified his pressure on Zelenskyy, calling for him to be replaced, and more importantly, Trump seems to have an affinity for Ukraine’s biggest adversary: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

October 15, 2026; 4pm: Just 19 days before the midterms, Trump’s DOJ is fulfilling its promise of going after voting in Democratic states. Today, the DOJ sued California minutes after the 48-hour deadline to review an unverified list of alleged noncitizens expired.

October 14, 2026, 5pm; Trump's treatment of fellow democratically-elected president, Zelenskyy, has been hot and cold for years now, but this latest betrayal comes as Trump is in a desperate spot politically here at home. His approval rating is in the gutter. His party looks poised to lose a significant number of seats in Congress in less than 3 weeks’ time. And Americans are paying ridiculous amounts at the pump.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
