‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR MAY 22, 2026: Jon Jeter on Europe’s War Drive Against Russia… Speaking Out on Capitol Hill for Voting Rights and Against the Far-Right Supreme Court… Plus Headlines on War on Iran, Cuba, Teen Takeovers and More… 


While corporate news organizations are focused, in their limited way, on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, they are ignoring new dangers in the U.S.-NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. We speak to our media critic Jon Jeter and discuss the excellent program on the subject produced by “Reason 2 Resist.” And a coalition of advocates speak out on Capitol Hill, denouncing the Supreme Court’s attack on voting rights–and on all rights. Plus headlines on the War Powers Act, Iran, Cuba, faith leaders protest taxpayer-funded Christian Nationalist rally on the national mall, “Rededicate 250.” 

The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.
