Medals for Musk, Bills for Us - Featuring Shawn "Smith" Peirce
Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin - featuring Shawn “Smith” Peirce from "The Politics Bar" 10/09/26 🎙️ Shawn “Smith” Peirce joins Tarabuster: The Politics Bar co-host and longtime political-radio producer joins Tara Devlin to unpack the week’s headlines and the machinery of political media. The Politics Bar: https://www.thepoliticsbar.com/ The Politics Bar — Substack: https://substack.com/@thepoliticsbar Shawn “Smith” Peirce — Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/silversmith1.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawnpeirce/ 📚 JD Vance loses the definition: Asked to explain socialism, Vance answered with foreign workers and girls’ sports. We break down the actual economic concept and how culture-war talking points displace a conversation about ownership and power. 🏅 Musk gets a medal; taxpayers deserve an accounting: Trump awards Elon Musk the National Medal of Science as questions about DOGE’s costs and damage remain central to assessing his public record. We examine the difference between celebrating engineering achievements and granting someone a free pass on government performance. ⚖️ Hegseth’s execution livestream: The Pentagon plans to livestream the Fort Hood shooter’s firing-squad execution, while JD Vance now questions whether the broadcast will happen. We examine the victims’ interests, the government’s judgment, and the politics of punishment as spectacle. 💥 Don’t miss Tara’s signature mix of righteous outrage, humor, and hard truth as she tears apart another example of right-wing cosplay patriotism — and reminds us what real service, sacrifice, and love of country actually look like. 💥 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to help spread the word and keep independent media strong! 👍 Like, comment, and share to push back against right‑wing propaganda and support independent media. 🎥 Watch live Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1PM ET on the Political Voices Network and Fridays at 8:30PM ET on the Tarabuster YouTube Channel. 💪 Support Independent Progressive Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/taradevlin Substack: https://substack.com/@tarabuster 📱 Follow Tara Everywhere Substack: https://tarabuster.substack.com Bluesky: @tarabuster.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Tarabuster Instagram: @tarabuster_show Twitter/X: https://x.com/REALTaraDevlin Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PRYDBx8 💸 Support Tara’s Liberal Talk Show Work Venmo: @Taradacktyl PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/taradacktyl ✨ Join the Tarabuster Community Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PRYDBx8 Official Merch: http://tarabustermerch.com 🎧 Check Out Our Friends and Partners APS Radio – https://APSradio.com/ APS Radio News – https://APSRadioNews.com/ Head On with Robyn Kincaid – https://headon.live/ Trucker John – https://www.youtube.com/@UChjCsV4MmEf7KqmezoRQSSw Twisted Nerves Painting – https://www.youtube.com/@UCEvnTK0Yk7qFxBjGNoaYJgg 📧 Contact Tarabuster: [email protected] 🌐 Subscribe to the Political Voices Network: https://www.politicalvoicesnetwork.com/ Keep the real liberal media going—and growing! ✊

Billionaires Are Revolting over a Proposed tax — In Every Sense
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Oct 06, 2026 💰 California’s proposed one-time 5% billionaire tax has triggered a $187 million fundraising effort by opponents and allied campaigns backing measures that could block it. Tonight: the billionaire tax tantrum, the fight over healthcare funding, and the enormous resources deployed to keep extraordinary fortunes untouched. 🇺🇸 Trump’s “let them take out” remarks about Los Angeles and San Diego drew cheers and condemnation; the White House says he meant the danger posed by a nuclear Iran. We unpack the words, the defense, and the politics of treating fellow Americans as expendable.

Republicans: From “I’m Not a Crook” to “So What If I Am?”
Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin. 10/02/26 🕵️ Trump’s DOJ tries to rehabilitate Richard Nixon: More than 50 years after Watergate exposed Nixon’s criminal cover-up, Trump’s Justice Department is entertaining claims that Nixon and his henchmen were somehow the victims. We break down Watergate step by step—and why MAGA calls every form of accountability “the deep state.” 🚀 Hegseth’s Pentagon brings in Musk, Newt Gingrich, and defense-tech insiders: Pete Hegseth has tapped Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich to help steer a Pentagon “future of warfare” initiative. Because naturally, when the country needs sober, accountable national-defense planning, MAGA reaches for a billionaire contractor, a defense-tech CEO, and Newt Gingrich. 🏛️ A judge stops Trump’s DOJ from reviving the Reflecting Pool case: A D.C. judge dismissed the case against former Olympian David Hearn with prejudice after prosecutors conceded evidence showed the alleged damage came from a botched contractor installation—not vandalism. It is a reminder that the Justice Department belongs to the American people, not to a president looking for innocent people to punish. 💥 Don’t miss Tara’s signature mix of righteous outrage, humor, and hard truth as she tears apart another example of right-wing cosplay patriotism — and reminds us what real service, sacrifice, and love of country actually look like. 💥 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to help spread the word and keep independent media strong! #Tarabuster #FightingOligarchy #PositivePopulism #Democracy #TaraDevlin #IndependentMedia #PoliticalPodcast 🔔 Subscribe to Tarabuster for progressive political talk, media criticism, and real‑time commentary. 👍 Like, comment, and share to push back against right‑wing propaganda and support independent media. 🎥 Watch live Tuesdays at 2PM ET on the Political Voices Network and Fridays at 8:30PM ET on the Tarabuster YouTube Channel.

Pulling the Covers Off the MAGA Grievance Machine - featuring Lee Papa, The Rude Pundit
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Oct 01, 2026 🎙️ LEE PAPA / THE RUDE PUNDIT — The legendary political satirist, writer, and unapologetic liberal truth-teller joins Tarabuster to take on Trump’s retribution machine, Jeanine Pirro’s DOJ embarrassment, Pete Hegseth’s MAGA bully culture, and the authoritarian cruelty Republicans are trying to normalize. 🚨 Trump’s DOJ Humiliated in Court: A D.C. judge dismissed the Reflecting Pool case with prejudice and barred Jeanine Pirro’s office from bringing it again—a remarkable rebuke after Trump publicly pressured prosecutors to pursue charges. We’ll discuss what happens when the Justice Department is expected to manufacture cases to satisfy a president’s personal vendettas. 🎖️ Hegseth’s Politics of Humiliation: Pete Hegseth’s military agenda is increasingly built around bullying—body policing, anti-trans persecution, and a MAGA definition of masculinity enforced through exclusion and humiliation. We’ll break down why this has nothing to do with readiness and everything to do with authoritarian control. Lee Papa, a.k.a.

Sorry, Trump. America Will NEVER "Love" a Dictator
Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin. 09/25/26 📺 Trump’s “Love Me” ad: The White House is airing a taxpayer-funded, campaign-style ad glorifying Donald Trump ahead of the midterms—because apparently your tax dollars now have to pay for the Dear Leader’s emotional-support montage. 🗳️ SCOTUS and the Big Lie database: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Trump’s administration to use Social Security data in a citizenship-verification system that could wrongly burden lawful voters—all in service of the same evidence-free voter-fraud hysteria that fueled January 6. 🏳️‍⚧️ The GOP’s anti-trans panic machine: Republicans are recycling their oldest electoral scam: invent a terrifying threat, target a vulnerable minority, and distract voters from the fact that they have no plan to make life more affordable, safe, or free.

Trump’s Anti-American, Authoritarian Press Ban Is Here
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 22, 2026 🎙️ Brad Bannon joins Tarabuster: Deadline DC’s Brad Bannon joins Tara to break down Trump’s escalating war on the free press, the White House’s propaganda push, and the authoritarian rot Republicans are trying to normalize. 🗞️ Trump’s war on the free press: Trump is escalating his authoritarian assault on independent journalism—calling critical reporting a “national security” threat, banning outlets from the White House, and demanding a press corps that behaves like a state propaganda department. 📺 Trump TV: propaganda on the public dime: After banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, Trump rolls out a 24/7 “Trump TV” stream—because a wannabe autocrat cannot survive without his own government-backed reality show. 🏛️ Trump’s militarized vanity arch: Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch is no longer just an obscene monument to his ego—it is now supposedly a “military complex” for drones, snipers, and ammunition. Fascist architecture meets the world’s dumbest action movie. ⚖️ Lauren Boebert’s ethics mess: Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing a sworn ethics complaint alleging inappropriate relationships with staff and a $200,000 payment; she denies the allegations. The party of “family values” somehow keeps becoming the party of scandal, excuses, and victimhood. 🏈 Nancy Mace’s manufactured outrage: Nancy Mace posts a deliberately provocative “Go COCKS” football-game photo, then acts persecuted when it goes viral—because Republicans love trolling America almost as much as they love pretending they are victims of the reaction.

How Many More Chances Do Republicans Get?
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 17, 2026 🥴 JD Vance begs America to “give us another chance”: After months of MAGA chaos, broken promises, and nonstop scapegoating, Vance’s plea sounds less like confidence and more like an admission that voters see the damage. And no—Biden did not leave America a “disaster,” no matter how many times Republicans repeat the lie. 🎭 Trump vs. the Kennedy Center: Rep. Joyce Beatty reportedly confronted Trump during a tense Kennedy Center board meeting, telling him he is “holding up the whole country.” Now Trump is tying repairs and the future of a national cultural institution to his personal demand to plaster his own name on it. 🏗️ Trump’s Kennedy Center hostage scheme: The Kennedy Center needs repairs—but Trump appears determined to turn a public memorial into another monument to his ego. A court blocked the board from adding Trump’s name without Congress, and suddenly the building’s renovation and even its future are being treated like bargaining chips.
