Number 2: I Disagree: A conversation with Jessica Tarlov
One of the things I’m known for is getting into it with right-wingers on CNN roundtables, but the OG woman of distinction who does this so beautifully, is Jessica Tarlov on Fox's roundtable show The Five. I’m having Jessica on to talk about this moment in history, but also how we talk about it without losing our minds. Her new book I Disagree: Winning Arguments without Losing Friends, is exactly what I think we need not only in the next couple of months, but in the next couple of years. It’s heated out there. Get some insight on how to keep it cool.

Number 3: Survivor’s Guide to Earth: A Conversation with Matthew Cooke
It’s not our fault we feel helpless and isolated in this broken world. That’s by design. We’re the victims of the greatest information war in history - from our media model to our education system - and the antidote is to dive into the tools that created civilization in the first place. Ethics, philosophy, shared history, morality, cooperation. That we already have all the answers - all the proven solutions - to the problems at hand. We just can’t continue to allow the corporations to silence and bury them while driving us off a cliff. Enough is enough.

Number 4: Hang On America: A Conversation with Heather Cox Richardson
Our country is a mess. As Heather Cox Richardson says, we have a president doing everything he can, with the assistance of the Supreme Court, and the capitulation of the Republicans in Congress, to overturn the system we’ve built. So what are we going to do about it, and how do we get the people disillusioned or shut down right now to dial back in?

Number 5: We Don't Believe You: A Conversation with Anne Applebaum
There are plenty of groups that see this drastic change in the American political system as something that can work for them. If the goal is power, or retained power, everyone from white and christian nationalists, to the billionaire class, the patriarchy and the predators have found their champion in the Trump administration. If everything is for sale and no institution is sacred, they an do whatever they want, and if Republican congress members are simply going to abdicate their responsibility to hold these groups in check, it’s going to be up to us to hand them a devastating loss in November and start to push the enemies back.
