There's no medicine like no medicine according to the #GOP. We talk about the pre-existing conditions that Republicans have set for their legislation, what its impact will be and how to push back. We make a tough decision on GOPutz of the week and we look at the Strange ongoings in Alabama where single party rule is in full effect. 

Episode 206 -- TrumpCare on life support, GOP being jerks

A podcast for Democrats and progressives. We aim to connect activists and their thoughts and hopes for our party with the insight of organizational leaders, staffers and operatives who help guide the party. 

We try to have guests on frequently to provide insight from across the country and from varying parts of the progressive movement.

We recorded this before the hate-filled white nationalist attacks this weekend in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas. We're not sure we can even add to the conversation on that.   We analyze debates 1&2, and what we learned as well as the strategy folks coming out of 'em. We talk Hick potentially jumping in the U.S. Senate and about TX Republicans. 

Episode 232 -- Debates 1&2 wrap-up

What happens when you get 21 Democratic candidates, thousands of pounds of fish, South Carolina's heat in summer and Jim Clyburn? The real start to primary season! What happens when you get 20 (!) Democrats to qualify for a debate? We have no idea but we preview it in depth. With 25 candidates in total it's going to be bedlam.  We talk South Carolina's Democratic Party Convention, Planned Parenthood's forum and the infamous Fish Fry, what not to write on wedding guest books in the first 21:45 minutes. Then we give a preview that we're quite proud of. From #WeDecide to #FishKing we get ready for the one event that'll keep Florida's population safe(ish) & indoors for 4 hours this week. 

Episode 231 -- South Cackalacky & Debate Night!

It's finally happened. We go in deep into Colorado, a state that's acting as  weird as its weather. Of note: One of the worst run campaigns for a major mayor's race in the country, a Senate primary with 12 candidates, and both the Democratic Governor and Senator running for President by targeting the same people.  We promise you'll laugh, and even if we disappoint it's still less than half as long as the series finale of Game of Thrones. (One of us is still bitter, and it's not Will.)

Episode 230 -- 5,280 signs Colorado has lost it

Somewhere a CNN executive is holding out hope for one candidate to announce so they can just run a whole day of programming. We'll talk about whether these town halls are a good idea and whether going on FOX is a good life choice for candidates. But first we fear for women after AL, GA, OH (and later MO) pass antichoice-laws to govern their bodies and we fear for humanity as we adopt war footing towards Iran. 

Episode 229 -- 23 Townhalls back to back

A little Presidential primary talk (yeah 18 months ish out!) along with pondering the deadline for incrementalist policies to actually work has passed, but can big policies pass the Congress?    A catch-22 for a long overdue podcast.
