  • No Kings, No Nobles

    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 Lawfare Frontlines (feat. Mark Zaid) | 5/13/2026
Q: Can you talk a little bit about why a security clearance is so important in the work that you do?
Zaid explains that his clearance allows him to access and communicate on classified information necessary to represent clients, especially those connected to sensitive government programs, and that revocation disrupts legal representation and due process.
Sense Of Urgency (feat. Ezra Levin; John Fugelsang)
Q: What is the bigger strategic aim beyond the immediate protest?
The aim is to build durable, cross-community political power by organizing now, not waiting for election day, to push for policy changes and to set the stage for a more democratic map and voting rights protections in the long term.
Sense Of Urgency (feat. Ezra Levin; John Fugelsang)
Q: Can you explain what Indivisible is organizing this Saturday and why it matters now?
Indivisible is mobilizing a nationwide action with flagship events in Selma and Montgomery to demand strong voting rights protections, calling for broad coalition-building including faith leaders, civil rights groups, and community members to defend democracy against gerrymandering and efforts to suppress Black voters.
Reforming The Bench (feat. Rep. Johnny Olszewski)
Q: What are the practical steps to pass such an amendment, and why pursue both constitutional and legislative avenues?
Passing a constitutional amendment requires broad, cross-partisan support and a feasible two-thirds vote in both chambers plus state ratification; pursuing both tracks increases chances of meaningful reform by not tying the outcome to a single constitutional path.
Reforming The Bench (feat. Rep. Johnny Olszewski)
Q: Tell us about the ROBE Act and why you think eighteen years is the right term length for Supreme Court justices.
The eighteen-year term length provides a balance between stability and accountability, aligns with the cadence of Senate terms, and addresses concerns about the current lifetime tenure, while allowing for a more predictable and less politicized judicial appointment process.
