  • 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.

Could Texas Finally Be Choosing Democrats?
Q: Why is Texas considered a potential turning point now?
Because the Texas race is influenced by a weaker GOP nominee with scandals, which could allow Democrats to gain ground if national messaging and candidate quality align, changing the expected balance of power.
Could Texas Finally Be Choosing Democrats?
Q: What does that mean in terms of what else Democrats would have to do?
It means Democrats would have to pick up several additional seats beyond Texas and Iowa, and maintain defenses in places like Michigan, while shaping the map to exploit weak Republican vulnerabilities, which could lead to multiple pathways to a Senate majority.
Trump's Trade Turbulence and Midterm Maneuvers
Q: So my question to you is, where do you really break from the Democratic Party?
He explains that as an independent, he claims to break with both parties where necessary, arguing that governing should serve working Nebraskans and not be controlled by party donors, while acknowledging areas where his views align with Democratic positions on some issues.
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.
