  • Looking for Facts? Not here

    If you are looking for more Trump hating opinions.. this is for you. If you want facts probably not. It is so hypocritical to claim the republicans have our heads in the sand when the Democrats refuse to believe people who are actually in the files are in the files and only care about Trump. There are a lot of people in the files. Many of whom turned a blind eye many of whine just crossed paths. But the president literally is why he was arrested in Florida. This show is clearly about hating Trum... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Listen to Jane Doe with Cornell Professor Kate Manne [Replay]
Q: How should we evaluate these claims as voters in a political landscape where powerful figures are accused?
We should assess plausibility based on the entirety of testimony and evidence, understand that we are not in a court of law but in a public discourse space, and decide what behavior is consistent with credible patterns rather than seeking absolute certainty.
Listen to Jane Doe with Cornell Professor Kate Manne [Replay]
Q: Kate, what did you mean when you wrote that Epstein files show a future in how society treats women and girls?
I mean that the patterns we see—persistence of misogynistic norms, the way wealth and power protect perpetrators, and the normalization of silencing survivors—are likely to recur unless we confront them through structural changes and education that empower bystanders to intervene.
The Injustice Department with Katie Phang, Part One
Q: Do you think midterm politics impact the progress of investigations and transparency efforts?
Yes, delay is often used as a tactic, but public hearings and a majority in Congress could accelerate accountability and force action against those who obstruct or delay investigations.
The Injustice Department with Katie Phang, Part One
Q: What do you see as the next steps in enforcing the court's orders and advancing transparency?
We have a motion for preliminary injunction already granted, and we expect the judge to take action on further filings; the aim is to compel the DOJ to turn over handwritten FBI notes and unredacted information, despite political and procedural hurdles.
The Injustice Department with Katie Phang, Part One
Q: All right, Katie, give us a state of play with regard to your lawsuit against the DOJ. What are you suing for?
I sued the Attorney General for violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, seeking unredacted Epstein files that should have been turned over, with a focus on protecting victims while uncovering co-conspirators and enablers who have protected themselves with redactions.
