  • I’m out

    At first, I thought I’d finally found the woman-led news pod I could eat up daily. After a few months, I’ve gone from paid Patron to total quitter. The only time I hear actually feminist commentary on women’s issues, on behalf of women, is from a man on Fridays. Tired of the saturation of every single topic/story with dumb dubs (“Kegseth”) and pro-trans rhetoric at the expense of discussing the factual details on the ground and the people actually involved/impacted by events. Gay women want to h... more

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Refried Beans | The Sooknanan Monologue (feat. Randi Weingarten) | 9.01.2025
Q: What inspired you to write Why Fascists Fear Teachers?
Randi explains that the book grew from observing how democracies falter when critical thinking and pluralism are attacked, and how teachers have long been on the front lines of defending those values through storytelling and engaged pedagogy.
Legal MadLibs (feat. Cisco Aguilar, NV SecState)
Q: What is the general atmosphere among Secretaries of State regarding the challenges we're facing before and after elections?
The guest describes collective resilience, readiness, and a proactive legal strategy, emphasizing that secretaries must be crisis managers who coordinate, strategize, and push back against federal overreach while protecting voters.
Refried Beans | Servants of The Damned (feat. David Enrich) | 9/15/2022
Q: Wow. I am so glad that you did this book. How is it to see a lot of this stuff come to life in recent news, especially with, there's a lot of Jones Day, big law firms, we've been talking about a lot of them that won't touch Donald Trump anymore, but they sure used to.
Enrich explains that the book traces a long-standing pattern of law firms leveraging access to executives, agencies, and judges, with Jones Day playing a central role in shaping policy and legal outcomes, and notes that recent events have brought these dynamics into sharper public view.
Refried Beans | Repainting The Rainbow (feat. Joyce Vance) | 08.25.2025
Q: What is the current status of the presumption of regularity in DOJ actions?
Judges are increasingly challenging the government's motives and demanding stronger evidence, suggesting the presumption of regularity is weakening in some cases.
Refried Beans | Zero Malarkeys Left To Give (Feat. Andrew Weissmann)
Q: Why does the absence of discussion about Mueller's referral to Mueller matter in the memo?
The absence matters because it omits why the special counsel was created: to prevent political appointees from deciding whether to pursue charges, which is central to ensuring independent investigations, and this omission reveals a critical flaw in the memo's framing.
