The Trump administration is waiting for immigrants to apply for legal benefits to stay in this country legally, they then won’t process the applications and will allow the applications to expire, then they’ll arrest these immigrants and throw them into jail. They’re encouraging immigrants to do the right thing, then they ignore what the immigrants did and arrest them. That’s evil. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My weekly sit down with long time Chicago Democrat Edwin Eisendrath, we covered the primary results in Michigan and Wisconsin, the state of the DSA, and the deplorable conditions are sailors are enduring in Trump’s stupid, illegal war. As usual, Edwin is more optimistic about things than me. Interesting chat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A sitting United States senator went on his podcast yesterday and knowingly spread a malicious, dangerous lie. Knowingly. Our Republic is in deep trouble because way too many Americans are increasingly untethered to truth, untethered to the facts. And when we have our political leaders wantonly spreading disinformation, then maybe we’re done. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She’s a green card holder, has lived in California for yrs, she’s a teacher, with no criminal record, who’s done everything right per our fucked up immigration laws, but for the past five months, she, and her husband and her high school aged son have been locked up in horrible conditions in an ICE detention facility in Texas. I don’t know how we’ll ever recover from Trump’s crimes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After January 6th, there should never ever be another failure of imagination to what Trump might do to fuck with America’s elections. We must imagine the worst, so we can be ready for the worst. Not to do so would be a huge failure of our civic responsibility. He will try anything to fuck with/cancel the midterms. We must be ready. Hosted on Acast.

Trump lies as he breathes, and when he lied about Haitian migrants eating cats & dogs, people believe him. But his lies about the economy won’t work. Also, the right wing fear mongering is only gonna get worse, and…fuck that ballroom. No matter what Trump call it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tucker Carlson wants to start a new political party, maybe even run for President. He, along with Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are trying to lead all the American first followers. And there are a lot of them. Because there have always been nativists in this country. And that’s what Tucker wants to tap into. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

JD Vance yesterday called for any public official who’s committing fraud, committing public corruption, who’s personally enriching themselves off of the American taxpayer to be thrown into prison. Wow. So…nobody in American history has engaged in more public corruption, has enriched themselves off the American taxpayer more than Trump has. No one. Not even close. So…Vance clearly thinks Trump should be in prison, right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As part of Trump’s immigration crackdown, dozens and dozens of military spouses and parents have been held, detained, and deported by ICE, devastating military morale, causing great confusion among those who serve, and actually impacting military readiness. And…what a shitty thing to do to those who put the uniform on. But Trump doesn’t care. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yes, my former political party is a full on authoritarian embracing cult, it’s a real threat to democracy & the rule of law, but…Thanksgiving is an American holiday and should never ever be cancelled, and any candidate for office suggesting such a thing is utterly crazy. And it’s crazy I even wrote this very sentence down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
