  • Show needs more fact checking

    Listening to my first episode (with Aaron Parnas) where he states that Canada is seeking trade deals with Russia. That is absolutely untrue. It’s a shame that usa’s reporting is so dismal.

  • Episode with Paul Begala insufferable

    This guy has only one view he accepts—the DSA is bad. I’m not used to hearing such closed minded thinking. Yuck!Unwatchable.

  • A Valuable Podcast

    Both Scott and Jessica are incredible minds who do great jobs expressing their takes. A terrific show, please keep it up. Don’t know what I’d do without you making sense of all the insanity. Thanks for your commitment and hard work, week after week.

  • Great informative show

    I really enjoyed the first few podcasts I listened to. Both hosts are extremely knowledgeable and provide good insights. I was getting tire of listening to Michael Wolff cut off Joanna constantly on Inside the mind of Trump- this is very refreshing! I don’t know how Jessica keeps her cool with the snarking dullards on the Five- I tapped it and fast forward to her. Scott is brilliant and the kid of man anyone would want for a father. Great show!

  • Refugee from Pivot and On

    Finally substituted Raging Mods for Pivot and On and wish I had done so a lot sooner. Jessica is a great talent, Scott is less performative and more relaxed with her, so their combined commentary is high quality. Glad to unsubscribe from Pivot and On: the dick jokes and Kara’s constant putting herself in the center of everything just wore me completely down.

Voters' anxiety about local impacts—noise, energy use, jobs—are folded into broader debates about technology and economic adaptation, influencing how candidates position on innovation and local benefits.
Democrats in Fox News Territory, the Paramount Merger Crisis, and Data Center Outrage
Q: What was Abdul El-Sayed trying to achieve with his appearance on Fox News besides delivering clips for partisan feeds?

Democrats in Fox News Territory, the Paramount Merger Crisis, and Data Center Outrage
Q: Why do you think it's important for Democrats to engage with Fox News hosts and audiences?
To show that Democrats can defend policies in real-time, reach audiences where they are, and challenge conservative framing by offering grounded, values-based arguments that resonate with swing voters.
Trump Has No Strategy as the Iran War Widens and Blanche's Confirmation Falls Apart
Q: What trends do you see for The Bulwark and its business model in the current media landscape?
Sarah Longwell explains that The Bulwark sustains itself through subscriptions and community engagement rather than heavy reliance on advertising, highlighting the importance of Substack, YouTube, and other platforms to reach audiences, while emphasizing a focus on the community and education-driven content as subscription catalysts.
Trump Has No Strategy as the Iran War Widens and Blanche's Confirmation Falls Apart
Q: What do you think the likelihood of boots on the ground is, given current dynamics?
The panelists acknowledge that while some in the administration flirt with hard options, Trump's own history and the GOP factions make a decisive full-ground escalation unlikely, with leaders leaning toward containment or limited actions rather than a large deployment.
