    AG, you are like a praying mantis mixed with a mongoose when it comes to keeping up on our leadership class. What do you think about the idea of expanding the U.S. Congress? It was capped in 1929 during a corrupt time (by corrupt Republicans) in our nation. Isn’t it time to undo this “century of sadness” and to reestablish representative democracy?

    About 525,600 minutes in a year, but over 700,000 people to represent, so not even a minute per person, even if your representative was robo-cop or ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Refried Beans | The Big Ugly (feat. Randi Weingarten) | 7.03.2025
Q: What is the core concern about the billionaire bailout bill?
The core concern is that the bill massively transfers wealth to the billionaire class while cutting health care, nutrition assistance, climate programs, and public education, jeopardizing millions who rely on public services.
Community Matters (feat. Miles Taylor)
Q: Hi Miles, how are you today?
Miles responds warmly, discussing his work with defiance.org, the origin of the movement, and the need to balance seriousness with optimism.
All Roads (feat. Michael Isikoff)
Q: Talk a little bit about that and what you're feeling after all the news from this weekend, everything being dredged up again.
Isikoff discusses the continuity of Russia-related narratives, reflects on Mueller's legacy, and situates current events within a long arc of U.S. investigations and foreign policy, emphasizing how history keeps resurfacing in public discourse.
The Breakdown | Trump And Trillionaires’ Secret Plan To Destroy America
Q: What role can ordinary citizens play to counter this oligarchic influence?
Encourage active participation in civic processes, seek diverse information sources, support independent journalism, and advocate for policy reforms like universal healthcare and reforms to political funding to reduce undue billionaire influence.
The Breakdown | Trump And Trillionaires’ Secret Plan To Destroy America
Q: How do privatization trends affect healthcare and public services, and what are the proposed remedies?
Privatization shifts risk and cost to individuals and taxpayers while reducing universal access; proposed remedies include public ownership of means of production in healthcare and expanded direct government care (e.g., VA-style universal care) to curb profiteering.
