Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hasan Hysteria Threatens Midterms w/ Prem Thakker & Rep. Analilia Mejia (Ep 345)
Q: What about leadership in the party—should Jeffries remain leader given the current slate of progressive candidates?
Prem argues leadership should reflect policy priorities and leverage; Mejia supports leadership that advances progressive origins and pushes for concessions that aid working people.
Hasan Hysteria Threatens Midterms w/ Prem Thakker & Rep. Analilia Mejia (Ep 345)
Q: Where do you stand on the 14th Amendment and due process as it relates to immigration and civil rights?
Rep Mejia outlines the three faces of governing power, emphasizes due process and equal protection, and connects immigration policy to broader constitutional rights while arguing for accountability and humane policy.
Hasan Hysteria Threatens Midterms w/ Prem Thakker & Rep. Analilia Mejia (Ep 345)
Q: Prem, bitching about today, what are you focusing on?
Prem explains the ongoing dynamics around the Democratic Party's leadership, the role of progressive candidates, and the need to elevate voices that represent working-class communities, while also critiquing media coverage and establishment tactics.
The Hate Campaign Against Jason Arday & Will The Midterms Be Fair? w/ Mike Figueredo & Ari Berman (Ep 343)
Q: Do you personally support Medicare for All?
The host-and-guest exchange frames the question around co-sponsorship and leadership stance; the answer emphasizes that while the speaker may not co-sponsor, they plan to pursue health care affordability and repair of damage done by previous policies, indicating a nuanced, non-committal stance on full Medicare for All.
The Hate Campaign Against Jason Arday & Will The Midterms Be Fair? w/ Mike Figueredo & Ari Berman (Ep 343)
Q: You've not co-sponsored Medicare for All since you became Democratic leader. Will you put Medicare for All up for a vote if you become speaker?
No; the House is focused on November and the leadership contends they will fight to make health care affordable for all, implying resistance to a straightforward, immediate floor vote on Medicare for All while pursuing other avenues to advance health care reform.
