Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NO KINGS! A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin
Q: What is next for the No Kings rallies?
We need to diversify our tactics beyond just protests and engage in organized campaigns against institutions, creating a stronger community push for democracy.
The Party of War?! A conversation with Heather Williams
Q: Why are the states such a critical firewall between the Trump Project 2025 agenda and the people?
States have a lot of power and can protect rights, ensure access to health care, and respond to the needs of communities when the federal government fails to do so.
The Party of War?! A conversation with Heather Williams
Q: What do you see as your responsibility as the president of that organization right now?
As president of the DLCC, my responsibility is to look across all 50 states and find ways to increase democratic power at the state level, ensuring access to health care, good communities, and representation of local interests.
Trump Keeps Losing: A conversation with Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman
Q: Tell us why that matters regarding the Trump administration's attempt to fire Lisa Koch from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
For dollars and cents reasons, the president's attempt to dismantle or to politicize something like the Federal Reserve can of course hurt all Americans where it hurts the most, in their livelihood and stability.
Trump Keeps Losing: A conversation with Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman
Q: Skye, will you give us a brief rundown of what Democracy Forward is and what you do?
We go to court on behalf of the American people, on behalf of communities, organizations, and right now our democracy as a whole.
