  • Informative and Expert

    Thanks for stopping TV of White House after unconstitutional ban of reporters - freedom of speech is paramount!

    The Weekend is excellent, giving in-depth, long form interviews with experts in political science, government and world events. Camaraderie of journalists makes listening a pleasure, too.

    Why does this “subscriber edition” have commercials? Obnoxious commercials even though I paid for subscriber edition. All In has commercials and now this? Please get it together.

    Thank you all for turning my/our attention to 360 of the past and its raw clarity on Now.

    Rather than helping Pres to building the Kennedy center —

    How about building housing for homeless?

    Just saying..🌷

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

American Economic Alarm
Q: How do you see the House potentially using subpoena power once Democrats take back control?
We would bolster internal subpoena authority, pursue witnesses, and assemble records to inform prosecutions, aiming to hold the administration and associates to account.
American Economic Alarm
Q: Congresswoman, what does this mean for the average American who consumes news?
It underscores the importance of a free press and the risk of political power suppressing coverage; accountability and due process are guardrails against the government suppressing information.
Trump vs. The Media
Q: What is the current status of access to press pools for CNN and other networks?
CNN and others have had their access debated in court; temporary measures and injunctions shape whether they can participate in the travel pool; the administration has signaled potential appeals.
Entering The 8th Month of War With Iran
Q: Mimi Timuraju, what are the concrete implications if Heidi Overton is confirmed to lead the FDA regarding medication abortion?
Rollbacks on medication abortion access via REMS and changes to how and where medications can be obtained, potentially restricting access nationwide.
Entering The 8th Month of War With Iran
Q: Dr. Brennan, with a bipartisan push growing to end the war, what would ending hostilities look like in practical terms?
A process beginning with a cessation of hostilities, lifting blockades, reopening international waterways, followed by negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
