  • 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.

Trump Revenge Tour to Hit Cajun Country
Q: What does Cassidy's impeachment vote mean for his re-election prospects?
Panelists suggest the vote keeps him in a loyalty-testing spotlight within the MAGA wing, hindering his ability to consolidate early support despite prior tenure.
Americans Blame Trump for Economy
Q: What could be the political impact of gas prices and inflation on midterm turnout?
Panelists suggest turnout will be heavily influenced by perceptions of the economy, with higher living costs pressuring the ruling party and influencing independent voters, while the GOP's stance on cost-cutting actions could shape their competitiveness.
Americans Blame Trump for Economy
Q: What do the new inflation and wage numbers imply for the president's economic strategy?
Dave Goldman explains that while inflation remains a concern, the broader economy had been on a relatively solid footing until recent geopolitical events, suggesting that policy moves need to balance inflation risks with growth, particularly around potential rate changes.
Redistricting Battles and Trumpland Challenges
Q: What is the mood you're hearing from Michigan voters about pricing, jobs, and healthcare, and how should Democrats respond on those issues this year?
Dingell stresses the urgency of addressing cost of living and healthcare, urging Democrats to present clear, actionable plans to lower prices and improve services while acknowledging the impact of national trends on local concerns.
Redistricting Battles and Trumpland Challenges
Q: Congresswoman Dingell, with the Virginia ruling and the federal court actions, how do you see long-term mapping affecting your district and the 2028 elections?
Dingell explains that while structural advantages exist, Democrats must stay focused on affordable policies and candidate engagement to win, arguing that the party needs to show concrete solutions rather than rely on anti-Trump sentiment alone.
