The President gave his first SOTU address. We dissect the absurd and the offensive. Joe Kennedy gave a response and I tried to be fair to him. Bernie had a moment last night, but should he have afforded that opportunity to someone else? Let's discuss.

Trump refuses to implement the sanctions on Russia so maybe that means he's on the right side of the argument? Wrong. Let's discuss.

Republicans are losing their minds over the Nunes memo and using it as an excuse to undermine the FBI and, specifically, the investigation into Russian collusion and obstruction of justice.

Finally, yesterday's podcast got a visceral response from many listeners. Let's discuss why I think the reaction is perfectly emblematic of the problem beleaguring the progreessive movement.

Joe Kennedy is giving the response to Trump’s first SOTU, but is he the future or is he the neoliberal Manchurian? My thoughts may SHOCK you! (Click bait humor). Also, is it bad to purchase twitter followers? The New York Times thinks so. Finally, about my first DSA meeting.

The judge in the case of Larry Nassar went HAM! But did she go too far? Bank of America's new fees on poverty sets the stage on a serious convesation about the stigma of poverty. And finally, we have to discuss class and race again because-- well, people still don't get it.

Atlanta has been shut down by ice and snow. But I couldn’t stay away two days. Let’s talk about Trump’s war against Haiti, his alleged money laundering for “Baby Doc,” Trump’s patent ignorance around CHIP that managed to land him on the right side of the argument, and how evangelicals who still support Trump are burning in a helluva lot of hypocrisy.

Warning -- I drop a few choice words in this episode. Listener descretion advised.

It's a weird day when I have to address Umar Johnson, Tariq Nasheed, and Tommy Sotomayor in general. But the fact that I have to address them all on the same day is amazing. Let's talk about the Hotep Civil War!

Something terrible went wrong in Hawaii. But what went right or, rather, what didn’t go wrong is most important.

Is DACA dead because we’ve all been “distracted” by #Shithole?

And finally, this is what everyone — conservatives and liberals — gets wrong about Dr King.

Donald Trump is a shit hole president. But why are some Leftist trying to say this isnt about race? And the Trump administration attacks Medicaid and CHIPs when a new report shows that children born in the US are 76% more likely to die than children in other rich nations.

No surprise here. Trump speaks at a fourth-grade level. We explore how the United States controls opposition and protest. A Fox-Business host says he would stop tipping if servers got a raise. And finally, we explore how deeply rooted hatred is in our current elected officials.
