I went live with Bryan Andrews, the musician who’s been blowing up feeds by saying out loud what a lot of people are feeling: the country’s not fine, and the folks catching the pain aren’t the ones on TV. We talked about why his songs hit and why his social media videos have been blowing up — working people getting squeezed, towns getting written off, t…

I went live with Glenn Kirschner to talk through something that should’ve shaken this entire country: two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C.

These men weren’t in a war zone.

They weren’t deployed overseas.

They were standing on an American street.

What happened here isn’t just another crime story. It’s a snapshot of where we are as a nation — …

Last week we went live with the women behind The Moment podcast to talk about what 2026 is really going to take. Here’s what stuck with me.

Women are already doing the work — organizing clinics and court support, flipping school boards that got hijacked by culture-war cosplay, keeping survivors safe while the state looks the other way, and turning kitch…

Cliff and I sat down and pulled the lens back on MAGA as a system—not just the loudest guy in the room, but the donor networks, media pipes, and hustle that keep it moving even when the headlines shift.

We talked about what it will actually take for Democrats to fight like they mean it in 2026—message discipline, ground game, and stopping the habit of b…

I jumped on with Jim Acosta Tuesday as returns came in, and the story in my backyard wasn’t subtle. In the DMV—Northern Virginia, the close-in suburbs, the I-95/I-66 corridors—voters slammed the brakes on the circus and picked competence.

You could see it precinct by precinct: the school-board scare tactics didn’t land, abortion bans got punished, and t…

On Halloween we set up in one of my favorite tattoo shops, machines buzzing, and talked about who is actually doing the work and where we are today. The first half we talked with Andy Zee (Refuse Fascism) about what’s coming in the streets—dates, actions, how to plug in if you’re new or coming back after a long year.

Then Peter and I opened it up and to…

Don and I go back to the worst day of my life and trace how we ended up here — the aftermath, the threats, the moments that changed our careers, and the first conversation that turned into a friendship. No spin, no scripts, just two people comparing scars and talking about what it costs to keep telling the truth.

We get into:

* What January 6th looked like …

What does “law and order” really mean when the cameras are off? Maya and I sit down with Rosa Brooks to pull apart the tactics behind the slogan — from protest crackdowns and loyalty tests to the quiet policy moves that make bad policing harder to fix and good policing harder to do.

What we get into:

* How “tough on crime” becomes a permission structure for…

House hardliners aren’t “fighting waste.” They’re manufacturing a crisis and sending the bill to vets, workers, and families — then fundraising off the wreckage.David Hogg breaks down the playbook; Sen. Chris Van Hollen tells you what can actually move in the Senate and what’s pure theater.

Jump in, hear the receipts, and tell me where you land. If it h…

Last month’s live, we called out the duck-and-cover routine in legacy news and why the public trust is migrating to people doing the work without a corporate leash. Don Lemon and Jim Acosta pulled the curtain on newsroom fear, access games, and how “neutrality” gets used to dodge the truth.

Hit play, jump in the comments, and tell me when you stopped tru…
