This Week on The Stakes:

We WON The Webby's!

We dove into the pro-natalist movement — the push to “persuade” women to have more children, and how it’s tied to eugenics, tech-world obsession, religious extremism, and Opus Dei’s role in selecting the next Pope. We also break down RFK Jr.’s alarming autism registry proposal, Trump’s collapsing approval numbers, the worsening economy, and Pete Buttigieg’s strategic 3-hour appearance on a far-right podcast — and why he’s still one of the most gifted political communicators of our time.

This week, the red flags are no longer warnings — they’re sirens:

🚨 Treason? Donald Trump revokes security clearances from two former DHS officials — Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor — and orders DOJ investigations into their work. A chilling authoritarian move to punish dissent.

📉 Markets respond as Wall Street finally wakes up to the existential threat of a second Trump term.

🗳️ The SAVE Act is a not-so-subtle voter suppression bill cloaked in “election integrity.”

📕 And Miles Taylor, formerly “Anonymous,” calls it what it is: creeping fascism—and a preview of what’s to come.

📺 THE STAKES: “The Past is Present: A Warning”

A powerful and deeply personal episode about the echoes of history in our present. With democracy under threat and authoritarian rhetoric on the rise, what can we learn from those who have lived through it—or inherited the stories of survival?

Joining the show are:

🔹 Julie Roginsky, Democratic strategist, author of the Salty Politics Substack, and co-founder of Lift Our Voices. Julie fled the Soviet Union with her parents in 1980, leaving behind a family history marked by Stalin’s purges and the Gulag. Today, she’s a leading voice on democracy, civil rights, and speaking truth to power.

🔹 Anna Scheumann, Holocaust educator and granddaughter and great-granddaughter of survivors. She works with Living Links and 3GNY to train speakers and preserve the legacy of Holocaust survivors—ensuring future generations remember what hatred and authoritarianism can lead to.

Together, we’ll explore the stories they carry, the signs they recognize, and the urgent need to remember before it’s too late.
