Make It Plain MIP with Rev. Mark Thompson episodes
- Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos and CiviqsJustice Stephen Breyer is retiring and Markos Moulitsas, Founder of DailyKos and Civiqs and Host of podcast “The Brief,” explains how it puts us in danger of a 7-2 conservative majority. But one of the upsides to Justice Beyer exiting is the prospect of a new judge, and Mark and Markos consider the possible replacement: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (do you know how she’s connected to former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan?). New and old justices aside, how will this event play a role in the midterm elections, and how might the role of some moderate Republicans end up helping Democrats this year?Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com

He’s also analyzing the Supreme Court’s recent moves and how they directly relate to Republican policy (and what can be gleaned from that).Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com

As Secretary Granholm explains, adding renewable energies onto the grid is a huge benefit–but they’re also working to expand grid capabilities that will allow for communities to continuously access that energy and not go dark in stormy weather (think Texas and Louisiana). And as for the jobs this will add, they’re promising higher paying union positions.Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com
