We Don't Believe You: A Conversation with Anne Applebaum
Aug 11, 2026There are plenty of groups that see this drastic change in the American political system as something that can work for them. If the goal is power, or retained power, everyone from white and christian nationalists, to the billionaire class, the patriarchy and the predators have found their champion in the Trump administration. If everything is for sale and no institution is sacred, they an do whatever they want, and if Republican congress members are simply going to abdicate their...

We Can Do Better Than This
Aug 4, 2026We went away this summer and the trip reminded me that many of our peer nations live far better than we do. Not just with their universal healthcare and walkable cities, but their respected working class and work/life balance. These are cultures that break for lunch. The people have reasonable work hours and take weeks, if not a month, off in the summer. They are better stewards of the human experience. They respect what people need and truly seem to be enjoying their lives far more than us,...

Fascism isn’t New to America: A Conversation with Joseph Kelly
Jul 28, 2026America is once again in a battle over who we are and what we stand for. Does this country only belong to a privileged group, or is it for, as our Declaration Of Independence and Pledge of Allegiance tells us, for ALL of us? As Professor Joseph Kelly says, our founding fathers knowingly made concessions against what they knew to be right at our establishment, and by kicking the can of equality down the road, we have allowed fascist, top down hierarchy to continue to thrive in a nation that...

I Don’t Recognize This Country: A Conversation with John Pavlovitz
Jul 21, 2026John Pavlovitz reminds us that what’s happening in America isn’t independent of who we are. That any position of privilege we may hold in this world is a currency we must leverage on behalf of others. That while we might be grieving the country we thought we were, we have to get serious about the person we know we are to make sure our actions are in line with our values. Our values can not be our best kept secret. We need them to find our like minded communities, the ones who want to make a...

States Rights Baby! A Conversation with the State’s Project’s Daniel Squadron
Jul 14, 2026The power to really take back our country is most efficient, and the least expensive, through the states. We can work together with our people to flip state houses across the country so when the federal government tries to strip us of our rights, we have an strong line of defense at the state level to protect our liberties, shore up our civil rights, and make sure the seats for the federal government are drawn fairly. So many of our federal rights start, or live or die, at the state level, so...

Hang On America: A Conversation with Heather Cox Richardson
Jul 7, 2026Our country is a mess. As Heather Cox Richardson says, we have a president doing everything he can, with the assistance of the Supreme Court, and the capitulation of the Republicans in Congress, to overturn the system we’ve built. So what are we going to do about it, and how do we get the people disillusioned or shut down right now to dial back in? As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium. You’ll get this podcast ad free, along with a...

Let’s Get Our Country Back: A Conversation with Oath’s Brian Derrick
Jun 30, 2026We’re fired up and ready to get the country back, but what’s the most effective action to take for us to do that? In my opinion, donating to Oath, or telling Oath what you care about and want to accomplish is a great first step. As the founder of Oath, Brain Derrick tells us, we don’t need to outspend the billionaires, we need to outthink and outvote them. Oath is the shortcut to our fighting the Republicans on equal footing because they aren’t in business to make money for themselves, but to...

The Biggest Scandal…A Conversation with Heidy Torres
Jun 23, 2026Latin American expert Heidy Torres sounds the alarm on HondurasGate, a scandal of epic proportions that no one is talking about. The leaked audios show coordination between Trump, Netanyahu, the former Honduras president, and convicted narco terrorist Juan Orlando Hernandez, and Argentinian president Javier Milei. These men and their representatives are talking about Donald Trump remaining in power, walled super cities for the ultra rich that function outside the law, and the destabilization...

This Administration is a Joke: A Conversation with Timothy Snyder
Jun 16, 2026America is a wreck. The question is what are we going to do about it? As today’s guest, Timothy Snyder reminds us, every action we take, every group we join, every act of resistance we partake in, no matter how small, will help. That while the people in charge are doing everything possible to collapse American power and could be wildly successful, they could also fail spectacularly, and it’s up to us to convince people of that. We can’t keep thinking this man is irresistible, inevitable, or...

Never Ending Election Lies: A Conversation with Marc Elias
Jun 9, 2026Donald Trump and the Republicans, with an assist from the Supreme Court, seem willing to do anything they can to make sure they retain power in 26, regardless of the will of the voters. That why what’s happening with the voter fraud narrative in California isn’t just sour grapes, but a disinformation wave growing to build a case that votes can’t be trusted, that they need a national list, that they must have the SAVE Act, that we have to abandon drop boxes, mail in voting, and counting votes...
