April 30, 2026 Fighting for our Voting Rights!
Today as we are reeling from another disastrous SCOTUS decision, gutting the voting rights act, we talk about what we can do to fight back, take back power in Congress and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights act. Also on 60 minutes Trump swears that he is not a rapist and a pedophile. So glad he cleared that up so now he can release all the Epstein files!

April 16, 2026 The Christian Esperias Experience
It’s been another insane week starting off with Trump attacking the Pope and portraying himself as Jesus, but even he can’t distract us from his crumbling MAGA coalition, and the repudiation of authoritarianism in Hungary and around the world. And to help us prepare for the midterms and breakdown the state of the CA gubernatorial race, we are joined by political strategist, Christian Esperias!

April 02, 2026 Executive Disorder
Today we are still reveling in the aftermath of No Kings III, where we all got together with over 8 million of our closest friends! Not surprisingly Trump continues to cosplay a king with more illegal and unconstitutional executive orders. We are one month into the Iran war, prices continue to go up, and Trump’s approvals continue to go down. We discuss it all and what comes next.
