  • Elections

    Hopefully, the Democrats will focus on the bleakenomics of living in the US and how it feels, alongside the corruption.

  • Anti-communist liberal propaganda

    I loved this podcast when it premiered because I hadn’t read enough yet to realize that it’s mainstream liberal, anti-communist talking points. Try Rev Left Radio or Upstream or Bad Faith if you want real history and analysis.

  • Great political analysis

    I’ve been a longtime listener of Gaslit nation and I have to say that it is one of the best political commentary podcasts out there. What I like about Andrea is that her commentary has evolved with our times and has a morally consistent approach to the news, be it on Ukraine or touchy subjects like Palestine and Israel. Been a fan from the start and will continue to stick around for years to come.

Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner's Massive Debt to Oligarchy Riches
Q: What was the significance of Jared Kushner's debt from 666 Fifth Avenue when he entered the White House?
Cole explains that the building was financed largely with expensive debt and remained a major financial burden. The approaching loan deadline created a serious risk for the family, while Kushner's business interests and foreign investment raised counterintelligence concerns as he took on a foreign-policy role.
Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner's Massive Debt to Oligarchy Riches
Q: How did Charles Kushner's ambitions shape Jared Kushner's upbringing and later understanding of money and power?
Cole says Charles envisioned Jared as a political heir and future president, and that Jared grew up observing how his father used money, influence and secrecy. Cole connects those lessons to Jared's later conduct while clarifying that Jared was not involved in his father's crimes.
Vote for Abdul or You're Voting for Kushner's Oligarchy
Q: What would be your message to them, anyone who feels like they can't vote for him in Michigan, even though they're a registered Democrat?

They discuss the importance of primaries and internal elections, with Mystal arguing that leadership challenges can be healthy and that a nomination process might have strengthened Kamala Harris's position in 2024.
