These People are Going to Kill US: With Dr. Anahita Dua

As There’s a lot going on in America right now from No Kings to the war but as today’s guest, Dr. Anahita Dua reminds us we still need to talk about America’s health, because with RFK Jr. running the Department of Health and Human Services, we really are in grave danger. No pun intended. I understand it’s difficult to take your eye off the Trump chaos but what’s he’s doing to our country’s health is only affecting our personal health and it can’t continue..

Why No Kings Matters: With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

As Ezra Levin reminds us, No Kings is not just something we HAVE to do but something we GET to do. That we get to be a part of history by sending a very public message to our country, and the world, that we are mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore. But this time, it’s not enough to just go, we need to be bringing people with us. This administration is an existential threat to America and the world. No Kings is a day of community, that doesn’t just protest our bad president but brings together good people. Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless, like they are inevitable, but days like No Kings and the actions we take with our people afterward, is the antidote. We come in peace. But we come in numbers.

Is the News Killing You? : A Conversation with Michael Steele

If you’re paying attention right now you know America is off the rails. We’re at war in the middle east. We’re being attacked at home by ICE. Everything is more expensive. Our government is calling protesters terrorists and terrorists allies. We’re killing people in custody. Women are losing their rights. Our elections are in danger and the Trump administration is threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of any news organization who reports that things are going anything less than perfect.

Is this a Holy War? : A Conversation with former Evangelical Christian fundamentalist, Tim Whitaker

If there are American leaders making military or legislative decisions based in faith rather than facts, that is a clear, and flagrant, violation of the separation of church and state. Commanders who send troops into combat have an obligation to the law, the mission, and the men and women under their command. If they think they are fulfilling some long prophesied Armageddon we need to hold them accountable. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Trump’s War: A Conversation with Ken Harbaugh

On February 28th, 2026 the US and Isreal attacked Iran in an an operation that killed the top of Iran’s power structure, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The problem is the American people don’t have a clear answer as to why we did this as the president and his administration didn’t go through congress - the constitutionally legal way to declare war. The Trump administration is now throwing every possible reason to explain their actions at the wall to see what sticks - Iran’s nuclear capabilities, terrorism, freeing the Iranian people from their oppressive leader, a reaction to intelligence that indicated Iran plan to strike US bases, or that Iran interfered in the 2020 and 2024 elections. They can’t get their story straight and they seem to be unable to explain what our intentions are in the middle east.

The Hard Truths: A Conversation with David Rothkopf

The hard truth is anyone who was paying attention knew this was coming. That as soon as we allowed the man who instigated a coup back into the Oval Office dark days were ahead, so now we must do everything we can to not only prioritize getting these people out of power - and winning every single election - but to hold the people who allowed this accountable so we never find ourselves in this position again. The rules need to change. The institutions need to change. The power structure needs to change. And that starts today, with us, and finishes with a whole new group of voters who have no loyalty to how it was, but know it can be better than this. We know the mainstream media has let us down, so independent work like mine needs your support more than ever.

How Do We Handle This?: A Conversation with Neuroscientist Dr. Brianna Migliore

None of this is normal. What we are experiencing in America right now is incredibly distressing, and it’s making most of us feel totally out of sorts.

Where are Our Leaders? A Conversation with Governor Josh Shapiro

America needs leaders who will oppose the cruelty, chaos and corruption that we’re seeing today. Leaders who won’t be booed at the Olympics or blame their own citizens for getting shot. Governor Shapiro reminds us that now is not the time to pull the covers over our heads or check out from the news, but the time to reengage in the American experiment because, ultimately, it really is the people who have the power to stop this.

Today’s guest Joanna Johnson, brilliant teacher otherwise known as Unlearn16, reminds us that the constitution only matters if people stand up for it, otherwise it’s just a piece of paper.

Live Free or Die

Steve Schmidt reminds us that the American inheritance is being stolen from us by gangsters. That our rights don’t come from the president or his administration, they come from the blood spilled by everyone who fought for our right to life and liberty. We are in a moment of great crisis, but an activism is awaking that has not been seen in generations. Steve makes it clear that we don’t need a win for the Democratic party, we need a victory for the American people. You can lie to us, threaten us, and try to scare us, but we’ll just keep showing up for our rights. And the more of us who come out to save America, the more inspired others will be to join them.

ICE out for GOOD: A Conversation with the ACLU

What’s happening in America right now is horrifying but not surprising. That we are living through an extreme stress test for democracy, but all is not lost. Chief Political and Advocacy Officer at the ACLU, Deirdre Schifeling reminds us the best and most durable protectors of our rights are actually our own people.

We Have To Do THIS for Another Year?

I If you’re feeling exhausted you aren’t alone. The time we’re living in is weird and distressing. And if you, like me, are feeling the weight of the world right now, please understand you’re not it makes sense. However time keeps marching on whether we’re ready for it or not, and those who seek to destroy everything we hold dear, are counting on our exhaustion. So go into this new year with grit and determination because it’s going to be hard. Curiosity and imagination, because we have to create something new. And finally, allow yourself to let go of what was, in order to make room for what could be. I know there’s a world better than this, but we have to believe in it to build it.

The Epstein Breakdown: A conversation with Tara Palmeri

The Justice Department and the FBI are currently in complete violation of the law when it comes to the Epstein Transparency Act. They are clearly hoping we just embrace our nihilism and give up ever knowing what happened because deep down we accept the rich and powerful get to live under different rules and they’ll just get away with it. Well, that is unacceptable to me, to our guest, Epstein expert Tara Palmeri, and I hope it’s unacceptable to you. The American government is engaged in what is potentially the largest coverup in American history and it’s about sex trafficking women and children. If we ever want to be a good country again, we can NEVER let this go. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Have you CRASHED OUT?

I recently read a quote that said “I will never forgive him for making America a place people fear, a place people don’t like, don’t trust, don’t want to do business with, don’t want to visit, don’t want anything to do with. He has made America a place people laugh at, a place that is cruel and bigoted. America is no longer a destination. It is a place to be avoided.” And it resonated so deeply with me. I’m tired. You’re tired. We’re all exhausted and the hits just keep coming. So what do we do? Let’s talk about it.

How Do You Fix a Broken System: A Conversation with Yasmin Radjy

The most consistent feeling people have in this country right now is that the system is broken and that makes us feel powerless when we’re not. The Trump administration might be impossible for us to reach right now, but voters are right there, and according to Swing Left’s Yasmin Radjy we should be talking directly to them. Hope is a muscle that we’ve allowed to atrophy, but there’s no progress without it. The Democrats have to do a better job at listening and building trust if we’re not only going to beat back this terrible government, but rebuild something far better in it’s place.

You Call Yourself a Christian?! A conversation with John Fugelsang

Best selling author and comedian, John Fugelsang reminds us that the problem isn’t religion, it’s the fundamentalists and extremists who use religion as a way to power. As John says, “If your church isn’t telling you to love your enemy, but telling you who your enemies are, then it isn’t a church.” We have to stop using religion as an excuse to hate. There’s a reason the American constitution gave us a society where the church and state existed independent of each other and anyone who is suggesting that the two should co-mingle isn’t doing it because they love Jesus, they’re doing it because they love power and they’re acquiring it using his name.

2025, What a Year to Be Alive: A Thanksgiving Episode

What has happened to us America? We have military in our streets, ICE murdering people in custody, we’re building concentration camps on our shores and shipping people to foreign prisons without evidence of a crime. We demolished one-third of the White House, our President is calling for Democratic leaders to be executed, and we might go to war with Venezuela for oil and minerals while American citizens can’t afford food or health care. It’s hard to be an empathetic, aware, patriotic American right now. To find, at this Thanksgiving holiday, what there is to be thankful for.

What is the Future of the Democratic Party? With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

Watching Democrats capitulate on the government shutdown without getting anything in return was a real kick to the face to everyone who thought we might finally have an opposition up for the fight. As Indivisible’s Ezra Levin reminds us, once we move past anger this can be a real opportunity. If we want the Democratic party to be better, it’s up to all of us to do the work to change it, to challenge the status quo, and to build a fighting machine strong enough to take on this regime. With that in mind, we need to care about primaries so we can choose leaders who are truly ready to meet the moment. Will we continue to lose our country to support the establishment, or are we ready to support fighters who might arrive from the outside? This is an inflection point. We need a party that can not only win elections, but leaders who will shake things up once they get there.
