  • Nightly Listen

    I know that listening to behaviors and actions by Trump and his administration’s goons can be a bit much to handle so early to bedtime but I find Joanna and Michael, and the other host to be so incredibly insightful and fascinating. They have a way of bringing horrible news to actions and behaviors of all these terrible people more palatable.

    Thank you for all your efforts and hard work!

    Is there any way to turn down the JOLTINGLY loud noise between sections? It’s so annoying and heart lurching I had to stop listening at night. Thank you for considering my complaint. Keep on with the content!

    Epi:First Lady Has abdicated her first lady duties

    Joanna, you said in this episode that we never heard about Biden’s deterioration until the debate.

    I think it was the diametric opposite. I felt like all we heard since 2023 was, BIDEN’S OLD!! BIDEN’S OLD… ad nauseam, and nothing about the 350 mental health providers who the Trump mental health has been deteriorating since 2019.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Know Exactly Why Trump's Base is Finally Turning
Q: What is happening there? What did you find when you went to the heartland?
Trump's strength among Iowa voters is linked to longstanding concerns about cost of living, health care, and the economy, with a sense that the political system isn't delivering. Moran highlights a mood of disaffection and cynicism toward both parties, and notes the state's swing away from Obama-era alignment toward Trump, driven by perceived economic and practical grievances.
This Is Why Humiliated Trump Lives in Fear
Q: What one word of advice would you give to Democrats to counter this dynamic ahead of the midterms?
Focus on turnout and the integrity of the election process rather than fixating on the individual; overwhelming turnout can blunt the impact of anti-democratic machinations and show that the electorate will not be swayed by fear or manipulation.
This Is Why Humiliated Trump Lives in Fear
Q: You're an expert on strong men, what makes them so dangerous in the long run?
The core danger is a combination of fear driving their decisions, lack of objective feedback, and a constant need to feed their ego, which pushes them to double down on aggressive, unpredictable moves rather than course-correct when things go wrong.
This Is Why Trump Has So Many Weird Work Wives
Q: Why are some staffers described as 'work wives' around presidents?
The term reflects the close, often intimate, working relationships that develop in the high-pressure White House environment, where staffers provide emotional and logistical support, sometimes blurring lines between personal affection and professional obligation.
This Is Why Trump Has So Many Weird Work Wives
Q: What is the traditional role of women around presidents in the White House?
Historically, women in the White House have often protected the president's privacy and managed communications and personal dynamics, sometimes influencing decisions from behind the scenes while maintaining a professional boundary.
