  • No longer reporting the news

    I have been a loyal viewer/listener of this show for years. But they are reporting less and less of what is going on! This morning’s show reported Trump at the Commander’s game and talked about him like he was a child enjoying a trip to go get ice cream. They didn’t report the over two full minutes of booing or the fact that he couldn’t even read the things given to him to say to the fans. Our so called President is not supported by the people and he is crumbling before our eyes. But what was re... more

  • Shame on you

    CNN and its hosts should be ashamed of themselves! I have lost all respect for what I once thought was a venerable news organization. Legitimizing Trump’s use of the National Guard and military as a “political tactic” is disgusting and inexcusable. You’re not journalists. You’re sycophants who care only about not upsetting our dictator. All hail Trump at CNN. I have been listening to this coverage for days and can’t believe how weak and pathetic you all are. Sad and disgusting!

  • CNN is as bad as FOX

    I used to feel like CNN was trustworthy. They are 90% garbage and 10% useless now. F them. Especially Dana and Jake.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Election Countdown: Primaries, Policies, and Power Shifts
Q: Isaac, which of those does this move to put South Carolina at the top in Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, Virginia afterwards?
The panel discusses how moving South Carolina up could advantage black voters in the early states, while potentially hindering a progressive breakout by excluding smaller states that previously helped insurgent candidates.
SCOTUS Supports Trump's Power, With One Key Exception
Q: How might these rulings affect upcoming elections and party dynamics?
Democrats argue the decisions highlight checks on unilateral power and could influence policy debates in primaries and general elections, while Republicans weigh internal disagreements over election laws and governance.
A Campaign on the Verge of Collapse
Q: What would replacing Platner mean for the Maine race and the broader Senate map?
Replacing Platner could reconfigure the field with a more progressive candidate, potentially energizing voters who supported Platner while addressing concerns about baggage, and affecting the strategizing around Susan Collins's re-election bid.
A Campaign on the Verge of Collapse
Q: Do you think there is leverage in the Platner situation, and could it affect who runs in Maine if he steps aside?
The panel suggests that leverage exists primarily among Platner's supporters and within Democratic circles, while odds of a quick replacement depend on open processes and fundraising dynamics; a decision is likely driven by the party's need to preserve momentum rather than by Platner's personal appeal.
250th Birthday Coming In Hot!
Q: Looking at where the energy is right now in the party, do you think that the next Democratic leader will be more like the Maryland Democrats or more like the New York and Colorado coalitions?
Moore suggested the energy favors candidates who disrupt the status quo and deliver tangible results, citing Maryland achievements like raising the minimum wage, tax cuts, and job creation as evidence.
