6-24-26 - 9am - The SAVE Act is DEAD and The Community Economic Defense Project

This episode is a wild ride, folks, as our host takes a break from discussing politics to share a personal story about a bike ride gone wrong. But don't worry, it's not all about the host's misadventures - we're diving into some serious topics, including a bill that's been making waves in the US Senate and a fascinating look at how government funds are being used in Colorado.The speaker discusses the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, a bill that aimed to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. But what's really interesting is how the bill's demise reveals a deeper issue with the way the federal government is using its power to influence state election laws. We're also exploring the concept of "NGO money laundering" and how it's affecting the way government funds are being used in Colorado.One of the most striking examples of this is the Community Economic Defense Project, a nonprofit that's received millions of dollars in grants to help with eviction prevention. But as our host digs deeper, we find that this organization is actually placing tenants in buildings without proper screening, and is using a significant portion of the funds for salaries and overhead rather than actually helping the people it's supposed to be serving.If you're interested in learning more about how government funds are being used, and how it's affecting the people on the ground, you won't want to miss this episode. Our host takes a critical look at the system and raises some important questions about accountability and transparency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
