  • We’re Still Here

    John’s regular show is excellent but “We’re still here” is my favorite listen. Thank you for sharing the wisdom from Julie and Simon.

  • Another Dr Tracey Melee

    Some shows bring on antagonists for ratings, this show doesn’t really seem like that kind of show, but this keeps happening so I’m scratching my head. Why not have a weekly Kendall session? There would at least be an element of charm.

  • Love from 🇨🇦

    I want to give a shout out to the Premier of my Province Manitoba, Wab Kinew. He’s the first First Nations Premier in 🇨🇦. We’re so grateful to have him. He’s Ojibway and has no problem bringing First Nations practices into the Legislative Assembly. He’s very outspoken regarding Trump, the 51st State, and now the Iran War. Would he maybe be a good guest for your We’re Still Here with Simon and Julie?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Great Texas Showdown: Faith, Fraud, and Fascists
Q: What makes the Paxton-Talarico race a litmus test for Republican brand vs. candidate quality in Texas?
The guests argue that Paxton's indictments and corruption allegations create a branding liability, while Talarico's integrity, faith, and populist reform stance offer a compelling contrast that could mobilize disaffected voters and suburban moderates.
The Battle for Justice: Democrats, ICE, and the Fight for Civil Liberties
Q: How do Democrats reconcile public safety with civil liberties in this moment?
Insha Rahman and Brad Lander advocate for a safety-first approach that emphasizes preventive investments—mental health services, education, housing, and worker protections—while holding government and agencies accountable through oversight and targeted policy that actually reduces crime without expanding surveillance.
The Battle for Justice: Democrats, ICE, and the Fight for Civil Liberties
Q: What is the logic behind the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (ORCA) and why are Democrats supporting it?
The host and guest Insha Rahman argue that ORCA expands ICE's surveillance and data collection without adequate safeguards, which is a dangerous overreach that undermines civil rights; its supporters often push it as a crime-control measure, but the episode suggests it serves broader authoritarian aims and shifts public safety policy toward mass data collection.
Memorial Weekend Special: The Oath and the Office (with ACLU’s Cecillia Wang)
Q: What was it like to argue the Birthright Citizenship case before the Supreme Court with Donald Trump in the room?
The guest described needing to stay focused on the nine justices and the opposing counsel, noting they were aware Trump might attend but it didn't affect the argument; the experience underscored the historic nature of presenting the case to defend the plain text and original meaning of the 14th Amendment.
The Trump Administration: Surpassing All Others in Sex Scandals
Q: What differentiates successful Democratic campaigns from less successful ones in engaging voters?
The best campaigns connect on a human level, tell a consistent why/story, build relationships, stay bold, and continuously engage rather than doing one-off outreach.
