Podcast: Left, Right & CenterPublished On: Fri Oct 09 2026
Description: The Supreme Court started its new term. On its docket are cases involving the president’s immigration policy and whether communities can sue fossil fuel companies over climate change. But the court may also be drawn into fights over the upcoming midterms at a time when public trust in the court is at historic lows. Plus, we talk about the civil suit brought against Cornell University over its handling of a 2024 alleged sexual assault. The victim says the university and local law enforcement failed to protect her. What role does the public play in pushing for justice, and what needs to change on college campuses?And this election, more Democratic candidates are campaigning on their Christian faith including James Talarico in Texas and Pastor Adam Hamilton in Kansas.We look at how they’re talking about it on the campaign trail, and if they can they gain ground among religious voters who tend to vote Republican.Producer: Leo DuranHost: Susan DavisGuests: Adam Green, cofounder of The Progressive Change Campaign Committee - @AdamGreen Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch - @whignewtons
