ELECTION 2026: In this episode we welcome Denise Powell, a communications strategist and founder of Women Who Run Nebraska, now running for Congress in Nebraska’s 2nd District. Powell discusses her journey from public school advocacy to political leadership, her response to Medicaid cuts and healthcare access, and her call for transparency in the wake of the Epstein files controversy. Powell also shares why she believes government should work for everyday people—not just the wealthy few.

BONUS: In this week’s “Go Fact Yourself” segment, Dan unpacks the renewed controversy over the Epstein files—including former President Trump’s stunning accusation that Barack Obama committed treason.

Dan hosts a conversation with leaders from Braver Angels, a national movement working to depolarize politics by bringing conservatives, liberals, and independents together in civil dialogue. Guests include Charlyne Berens, UNL professor emeritus and author on Nebraska’s nonpartisan legislature; Allen Chlopek, Rural Health Programs Manager for Civic Nebraska; and Ron McFarland, Braver Angels’ Upper Midwest Regional Lead. Together, they explore Nebraska’s political identity, the impact of term limits, the challenges of social media, and how trust—not just data—is key to bridging divides.
