    2025, What a Year to Be Alive: A Thanksgiving Episode
    Nov 25 2025
    What has happened to us America? We have military in our streets, ICE murdering people in custody, we’re building concentration camps on our shores and shipping people to foreign prisons without evidence of a crime. We demolished one-third of the White House, our President is calling for Democratic leaders to be executed, and we might go to war with Venezuela for oil and minerals while American citizens can’t afford food or health care. It’s hard to be an empathetic, aware, patriotic American right now. To find, at this Thanksgiving holiday, what there is to be thankful for. So, today we bring it in and attempt to offer the perspective our country is understandably lacking right now.

  • What is the Future of the Democratic Party? With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

    What is the Future of the Democratic Party? With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin
    Nov 18 2025
    Watching Democrats capitulate on the government shutdown without getting anything in return was a real kick to the face to everyone who thought we might finally have an opposition up for the fight. As Indivisible’s Ezra Levin reminds us, once we move past anger this can be a real opportunity. If we want the Democratic party to be better, it’s up to all of us to do the work to change it, to challenge the status quo, and to build a fighting machine strong enough to take on this regime. With that in mind, we need to care about primaries so we can choose leaders who are truly ready to meet the moment. Will we continue to lose our country to support the establishment, or are we ready to support fighters who might arrive from the outside? This is an inflection point. We need a party that can not only win elections, but leaders who will shake things up once they get there.

  • American Military OR Trump’s Military? : A Conversation with Kristopher Goldsmith

    American Military OR Trump’s Military? : A Conversation with Kristopher Goldsmith
    Nov 11 2025
    Today is Veteran’s Day and sadly we can’t just honor our soldiers, we have to wonder who they work for. As guest, combat veteran Kristopher Goldsmith reminds us, our president is trying to pit Americans against each other. The president wants the military in our streets fighting for him at the same time his administration is tearing the VA to shreds. The damage this administration is doing to our soldiers, our veterans, and our citizens is incalculable. Which is why Kris’s work with Veteran’s Against Fascism and his new podcast On Offense are so important. We have to throw sand in the gears of this authoritarian takeover to, as Kris says we don’t end up with a military that only MAGA wants to join.

  • Freedom For ALL? A Conversation with Professor Alex Zakaras

    Freedom For ALL? A Conversation with Professor Alex Zakaras
    Nov 4 2025
    Today is election day and as our guest Alex Zakaras, the author of the brilliant new book Freedom for All: What a Liberal Society Could Be reminds us, there are opportunities to be seized. It’s so easy to be depressed but as some institutions fall, better ones have the opportunity to rise. As Professor Zakaras argues, the profound inequality in power, wealth, and status in our nation has fundamentally undermined the American social contract and we discuss what it would mean to extend the liberal promise of freedom to everyone on equal terms and how it could actually transform our economy and politics.

  • Are the Bad Guys Winning? A Conversation with Michael McFaul

    Are the Bad Guys Winning? A Conversation with Michael McFaul
    Oct 28 2025
    Former Ambassador to Russia and author of the new book Autocrats vs. Democrats Michael McFaul reminds us that the autocratic world is united while the democratic world is not, and quite frankly, we have to get it together. We’re not allowed to just ignore what’s happening, or simply give up because it’s too hard. If we do that, the consequences will be even worse. We must find our allies, both at home and abroad, and work with them to defeat that which would defeat us. Fantastic insight in this episode.

  • NO KINGS! A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

    NO KINGS! A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin
    Oct 21 2025
    The No Kings rallies were incredibly successful, peaceful and mobilizing, but as our guest, Indivisible’s Ezra Levin, says: “If that’s all we do, it won’t be enough.” To fight this lawless regime Americans must continue to grow and diversify our tactics. This is not about one day of protest, but one of many efforts needed to stop government overreach. If you’re interested in next steps I encourage you to join the No Kings call Tuesday October 21st at NoKings.org or, if you’re listening to this later, go to indivisible.org to listen to the recording, or find or start an Indivisible group of your own. For now, keep talking about the rallies, tell the stories, celebrate what 7 million+ Americans did, and refuse to let our country be gaslit into thinking it didn’t matter, because it did and we’ll only get more powerful from here.

  • HOW do we SAVE AMERICA?- A Conversation with Steve Schmidt

    HOW do we SAVE AMERICA?- A Conversation with Steve Schmidt
    Oct 14 2025
    We are at a divided and isolated place in America, and watching the rising authoritarianism of the Trump administration, enabled by the Republican Congress, green lit by the bought and paid for Supreme Court is enough to make people feel powerless, but we are NOT powerless. We are living through a propaganda nightmare, but if the Freedom Frog in Portland has taught us anything it’s that those who seek to destroy America do not own the American spirt. You can lie about us, threaten us, try and scare us, but we’ll just keep showing up for our rights. And the more of us who come out to save America, the more inspired others will be to join them. This is a fantastic and necessary episode for any of us who need to know we’re still in the fight. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

  • What Will the Military Do? : A Conversation with CEO of Vet Voice Janessa Goldbeck

    What Will the Military Do? : A Conversation with CEO of Vet Voice Janessa Goldbeck
    Oct 7 2025
    Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump met with 800 of the military’s top brass last week and it was difficult to process how demoralizing it felt. If you’re like me, you didn’t recognize your country as our president talked about bringing US cities “under control” and painting anyone who didn’t agree with him as the “enemy from within”. There was a lot to be outraged about in that meeting, and plenty that felt terrifying, but the event was also just humiliating. For our country, for the brave men and women of the military who had to sit and listen, and for the speakers, who, quite frankly, embarrassed themselves. However, none of that limits the danger the event presents for nation on a crash course with dictatorship. Join me and Marine veteran and advocate, Janessa Goldbeck as we discuss.
