Badlands Daily: 7/10/26 - EAC Purge, Machado's Rogue State Dept Saga & NATO's Greenland Showdown

CannCon and Chris Paul open by unpacking Trump's move to fire the remaining Election Assistance Commissioners ahead of the midterms, tracing it back to years of documented problems with voting machine certification. From there they dive into a genuinely strange Axios report about a State Department official accused of going rogue on Venezuela policy, tangled up with exiled opposition figure Machado and a very confusing international phone-call chain. The back half is pure NATO theater: Trump and Mark Rute's summit exchange gets picked apart line by line, from Spain's spending shortfalls to a fresh round of Greenland negotiations and troop withdrawal hints tied straight to it. They close out with Tyler Robinson hearing updates, including new testimony from Lance Twigs and a shoe-size discrepancy that has people talking. Sponsor breaks and Friday banter included.
