In this week’s episode of Left & Loose, I’m talking about the MAGA Kink Sluts - Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and Peter Navarro - the true believers who’ve turned extremist idealogy into policy and MAGA kink into agenda.

We cover:

* Miller’s creation of an armed military state and use of propaganda

* Vought’s plan to dismantle government and install MAGA loyalists

* Navarro’s never-ending trade war fantasies at the price of American consumers

It’s chaotic, it’s profane, it’s very real - and it’s everything you need to know about who’s really pulling the strings in MAGA world.

Cheers and see you next weekRich

In this episode of Left & Loose, I introduce a new term: “Dildo Republicans.”

These are the (mostly) guys who once claimed to stand for everyday Americans - until they got the faintest whiff of power under Trump and decided to shove all that right up the ass.

This week I break down:

* JD Vance, the “Jeweled Dildo” himself - how he sold out the “forgotten man” for the MAGA agenda.

* Marco Rubio, the tiny dildo, dutifully dismantling everything he once claimed to believe about America’s role in the world.

* Pete Hegseth, the greasy one - from Fox host to Secretary of War, and somehow bad at both.

It’s crude, it’s cathartic and it’s exactly what today’s Republican Party deserves.

Bibi Netanyahu is using this fake peace plan as part of a larger cover-up - to drag out the war in Gaza and pretend the suffering and destruction isn’t deliberate.

When I recorded this week’s episode of Left & Loose, the plan hadn’t yet been announced. But it doesn’t change my argument: even if a ceasefire could happen tomorrow, Netanyahu’s government is too invested in prolonging this war. Starvation, displacement, and mass civilian casualties are being papered over with fake public statements and outright lies.

In this episode, I dig into:

* How Netanyahu’s political survival depends on the war continuing

* The tactics of cover-up: blocking journalists, denying famine, stalling negotiations

* Why this isn’t just “collateral damage” — it’s time to call it what it is

Hey guys,

This week I’m looking at the bigger picture of the news. And honestly? There’s one word that explains the entire Republican playbook: contempt.

They act like Americans are too stupid to notice what’s happening with:

* The economy → tariffs and the Big Beautiful Bill (/Big Billionaire B*****b).

* Immigration → masked ICE agents rounding up (mostly) good, hard-working people.

* Crime → million-dollar-a-day National Guard stunts instead of funding real, accountable policing.

We’re better than that. And in this episode I describe how we all can call out their bullsh*t.

Hey guys,

You might remember my old newsletter, Modern Progressive. After a long pause (and a lot of wine), I’m back - this time with something new: Left & Loose.

What is it? A weekly show where I riff on a political topic with wine in hand. It drives me crazy how the vast majority of Democrats still talk about politics (“democracy”, “institutions”, “norms” blah blah *vomit motion*). This show is the opposite of that.

🎥 Episode 1 is out now:How Republicans Use Charlie Kirk to Push Their Agenda

The murder of Charlie Kirk has been covered at length, but I feel like Dems are still failing to respond to how Republicans are exploiting his death for their political gain. That’s what I’m doing in this episode.

👉 Watch on YouTube (very janky)

👉 Listen on Spotify | Apple Podcasts (posting with a bit of a delay after this newsletter)

Every week you’ll get an email like this with a quick note about the latest episode. That’s it. No spam, no long screeds - just the good stuff.

Thanks for sticking around and I hope you’ll check it out.

Cheers,RichLeft & Loose
