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...

Pass the Torch! : A Conversation with Run for Something’s Amanda Litman
Jun 2, 2026We can no longer wait to be saved. It’s time to step up and save ourselves because Democratic leadership isn’t going to do it - if anything they need to be encouraged to pass the torch, because at the end of the day voters don’t vote for policy or even party, they vote for candidates they believe in. We need to be electing those people to local and state office now, so we have them in the wings for federal office later. Run For Something’s Amanda Litman reminds us not to give up hope. That...

We’re Giving These Guys Money?! : A Conversation about the Presidential Slush Fund with Liz Oyer
May 26, 2026Liz Oyer talks to us about the president’s outrageous corruption and the complete distain he and his allies have for the American people and the rule of law. This billion dollar slush fund of taxpayer money his own personal lawyer has created for him along with the addition of total immunity from the IRS to ever hold him, his businesses, or his family accountable for tax evasion in perpetuity, has to have even president’s most ardent supporters questioning what’s going on. As always, if you...

Can We Vote Our Way Out of This? : A Conversation with Authoritarian Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat
May 19, 2026Ruth Ben Ghiat reminds us that unless we want America to become a white, christian ethno-state, we need to be engaging now. Now is the best time as the administration sets everything on fire and people start to feel the pain. According to Ruth, we’re actually ahead of the curve in terms of resistance, so we need ramp it up, if anything overcompensate with positive action. Autocrats want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we’re not. Getting out of this mess is going to be an uphill battle,...

I Don’t Understand What America is Doing! - A Conversation with Joanna Johnson
May 12, 2026Why are we at war? Why are they trying to trick us into thinking the economy is good as if we don’t pay our own bills? Why do they keep taking the White House keep taking on unnecessary renovations in DC rather than paying for things his citizens need like cancer research and food stamps? Are we seriously taking a full detour back to segregation and simping for billionaires? Finally, why is Obama meeting with Mark Carney? Lots of things to discuss and one great person to discuss them with....

The Return of Jim Crow: A Conversation with the ACLU’s Sophia Lin Lakin
May 5, 2026Don’t think for a moment that the dismantling of the 1965 Voting Rights Act stops with disenfranchising Black voters. Once Republicans are finished suppressing Black votes, women are next, gay Americans will follow, and then they’ll come for the working poor. Nobody is safe once if the powers that be are allowed to dismantle democracy. Dismantling the voting rights act isn’t a Black issue. It’s a EVERYBODY issue and everybody needs to ACT LIKE IT. As always, if you find worth in what we do,...
