On today's Resistance Live (Sept 24, 2025), host Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin unpacks breaking news of a deadly shooting at a Dallas ICE detention center, the landslide special election win in Arizona's 7th district, and what it means for the release of the Epstein files. She also dives into Trump's chaotic UN speech, the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel's forced removal and return to air, and shifting cracks inside the GOP base. Plus, updates on lingering "Doge" operatives in government, Kamala Harris's new book tour, and why local elections and early voting are more important than ever.

In this episode of Resistance Live, host Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin unpacks the latest chaos on the global stage — from Trump's disastrous UN speech to the bombshell Tom Homan bribery scandal — exposing the hypocrisy, corruption, and dangerous policy shifts shaping our democracy. With her signature blend of sharp legal insight and activist perspective, Elizabeth connects the dots on why accountability matters, what's at stake for 2026, and how we can take action now to defend justice, truth, and our collective future.

On today's Resistance Live (September 19, 2025), I break down Trump's latest authoritarian rant on Air Force One, where he claimed he could take late-night hosts off the air and strip networks of their broadcast licenses. I walk through why that's a clear First Amendment violation, why the courts have repeatedly stopped him, and why it's important we keep naming his actions for what they are.

I also dig into what happened this morning in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE violently escalated against peaceful protesters outside a detention center, and into the arrest of New York City officials who were simply trying to do oversight at another federal facility. On top of that, we talk about the budget mess in Congress, why Democratic leadership is caving instead of fighting, and why this moment is a no-brainer for shutting it all down.

I answer a listener question about how we get to the "3.5% tipping point" for real change, and why it's about long-term community organizing and belonging—not one-off protests or fear tactics. And as always, I remind you that none of us knows what's coming next, which means there is room for hope, action, and rapid change.
