  • July 24, 2026. THE PLANE

    Please correct me if I’m wrong: the Plane was gifted to the US Dept of Defense. It was not designated how/ by whom it was to be used nor its ultimate destination. It was Heggers who stated it was to go to Trump; Heggers who decided that the DoD would pay for retrofitting; and it was he who said Trump will keep it post-presidency. The question should be: were Heggers’ decisions legal???? I and the country need clarification.

  • Patriotism Redoubled

    Dissent is the engaged, committed citizen's patriotic duty to upholding the US Constitution and the endeavor of a more perfect Union. Allison, Dana, and (on Fridays) John embody this patriotic spirit. TDB is informative, galvanizing, and life affirming with good humor and well placed expletives. It's a must listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DC Is Occupied (feat. Miles Taylor)
Q: Talk about what Defiance.org is briefly and how the actions culminate in something you're announcing this week.
Defiance.org started as a nonprofit club for the courageous, acting as a rapid reaction force to Trump's corruption, and this week we're announcing that the Epstein files will be carried on the Trump Epstein Bookmobile to travel across America for public viewing and accountability.
The Breakdown | Trump DOJ Falls Apart In Court
Q: What were the key moments that showed the government's vulnerabilities in this hearing?
The key moments included admissions of inadvertent errors, failure to disclose reporter involvement in subpoenas, and the judge's insistence on a complete factual record and potential sanctions.
The Breakdown | Trump DOJ Falls Apart In Court
Q: Can you set up what's going on with these subpoenas and why they're at issue?
The subpoenas targeted reporters and their sources, with the government arguing secrecy was necessary, while the court insisted on transparency and adherence to First Amendment protections and Gonzalez precedent.
The Breakdown | FBI Makes Stunning Admission On Epstein Files
Q: What is the core discovery about the FBI's handling of Epstein-related materials?
The core discovery is that the FBI reportedly has training videos on redacting Epstein-related materials and about logging high-profile names like Trump, which has been admitted in correspondence and FOIA responses, suggesting a systematic approach to redaction and potential overreach.
Underwhelming Overall (feat. Adam Klasfeld)
Q: What stood out to you in terms of the DOJ-related questions and the defense of the prosecutions?
Adam pointed to a few productive lines, such as inquiries into Epstein-related matters and the handling of toll records, but overall felt that critical angles like Kilmar-Brigo-Garcia and other cases were not adequately pressed.
