  • Always learn a new perspective

    I’ve listened to a number of these episodes and keep thinking “wow, I didn’t realize that”. Want to understand issues more deeply? Want to get a new perspective on “why?” Jen Taylor-Skinner has marvelous conversations with important, effective people. I’m a fly on the wall listening to impactful conversations about issues that I feel deeply about. In just this last episode with Liz Walters, the chairwoman of the Ohio Democratic Party, I learned that 2.5 million people have been purged from ... more

  • Wonderful, eye-opening podcast!

    Jen does an amazing job of finding smart, interesting women to interview. I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast. The negative reviews here are so funny to me, because (A) it’s clearly people who have never listened to the podcast who just hate anything they perceive as “feminist” and (B) facts don’t care about trolls’ opinions. This is a wonderful podcast. I recommend it to everyone!

  • Self congratulations

    If you’re young, of color, and gay you’re obviously right because you’re triple woke. Since I’m none of these things I have no standing and no ideas according to this podcast. My only role is to “pass the torch” This podcast is so self satisfied it’s completely un-self aware

Can Democrats Win a Blue Trifecta in Wisconsin? | Sen. Diane Hesselbein

Extending the subsidies would require funding in the hundreds of millions and bipartisan support to pass the measure, which has been lacking from Republican colleagues.
Can Democrats Win a Blue Trifecta in Wisconsin? | Sen. Diane Hesselbein
Q: Why did you act so quickly on the No Taxpayer Dollars for Insurrectionist Act?
Because there was a real concern about public funds being used to support insurrectionist activities, and the quick action was aimed at preventing any misuse of taxpayer dollars; we wanted to set a clear boundary and deter future attempts.
Could Your Mail Ballot “Die in the System”? | ACLU Attorney Theresa J. Lee
Q: How would the SAVE system and its updates affect citizenship verification for voters?
The SAVE system, while used for entitlements, is not a perfect citizenship verification tool; its data could misclassify citizens as non-citizens due to incomplete or outdated databases, risking erroneous removal from voter rolls.
Could Your Mail Ballot “Die in the System”? | ACLU Attorney Theresa J. Lee
Q: What is the gist of the ACLU's challenge to the executive order?
The challenge argues the order is unconstitutional in separation-of-powers terms, violates several statutes, and infringes on voting rights and privacy protections, by pushing federal control into state election administration without proper congressional authorization.
