Jen the Libertarian episodes
- Trump Has COVID. Now What?It's hard to imagine Trump has ever had a worse week than the one he just had - his tax returns got leaked, he had a horrible debate performance, and he's currently receiving treatment for COVID-19. Since Trump's bad week means the whole campaign season is now in chaos, let's break it down.

- The Presidential Debate Dumpster Fire Round OneWell I started making these episodes for the Democratic primary debates so in order to see the series through to the end I decided to give the presidential debates their own episodes. This debate series has...not started out so well, to put it mildly. Link to my Substack (which you should subscribe to) - jenmonroe.substack.com43 min
- Emperor Trump(?), The Barrett Nomination, The Taylor Cases
In this week's roundup - Trump makes dumb mouth noises, the SCOTUS nominee is revealed, and the grand jury makes its decision on who will face charges in the Taylor shooting.
And news - I've started a Substack! Here is a link to subscribe and a post with a bit more info as to why I'm changing up the content schedule and delivery method.

51 min - The TikTok Debacle, 1776 Commission, RBG Leaves The BuildingWe may be done with 2020 but 2020 is clearly not done with us. This past week saw frightening levels of overreach from the Trump administration on the TikTok acquisition deal and on what exactly should constitute US history as taught to schoolchildren. And then Ruth Bader Ginsberg passed. Buckle up.34 min
- Trump Talks To Woodward, Deported Unaccompanied Minors
It was a short week but we still have stuff to talk about, like how for some reason Trump decided to tell Bob Woodward things he probably shouldn't have and the staggering number of deportations that have happened since March
33 min - It's Time To Talk About Section 230. Again.
Since Congress won't leave well enough alone when it comes to Section 230, we have two presidential candidates who are openly antagonistic towards Section 230, and two platforms have already changed their TOS to reflect the current environment we need to chat about S230 and its importance again.
My RocaNews piece on S230 - https://www.rocanews.com/blog-posts/political-attacks-on-internet-freedom-will-lead-to-censorship
31 min - The Portland Shooting, Don and Joe Visit Kenosha, Anon SourcesThe story of the shooting of Aaron Danielson in Portland comes to a rather troubling end (?), both presidential candidates visit Kenosha and have very different experiences, and The Atlantic drops a piece on Trump that causes a mini freakout on the topic of anonymous sources. *correction - it was not Kenosha PD that issued a statement about Reinouhl being armed it was Thurston County Sheriff's Office35 min
- Trump's (and the GOP's) 2020 AgendaLeft off of the weekly roundup - Trump released his 2020 agenda and the RNC decided that their 2020 agenda what whatever Trump said. So let's look at this Trump / GOP agenda shall we?47 min
- RNC Recap, KenoshaThe past week gave us a bunch of dystopian hellscape - between the warnings of impending doom coming from the RNC to another police shooting that has kicked off riots in Kenosha, which lead to the Rittenhouse shootings Needless to say it wasn't a very good week1 hr 3 min
- DNC Recap, Bannon Gets Arrested
The DNC finally took place virtually on August 17 - 20 and I watched the primetime portions of it and recapped it for you, and we got a surprise arrest
