  • Zohran Mamdani: What his win means for Democrats

    Zohran Mamdani: What his win means for Democrats
    Jun 27 2025
    Zohran Mamdani’s primary win has “baffled” establishment Democrats who can’t imagine why a young candidate with big new ideas might do well. We discuss what his win means and what it should force the Democratic party to do. Plus, Trump’s going off about Iran and bragging about stuff that isn’t real – so nothing new there. All that and more with your fave pals Nikki, Chris and Jarv (and Simon!) who are all back together once again. Back us on Patreon – we need your help to keep going.

  • From Burke to Trump – Inside the GOP’s long war on democracy

    From Burke to Trump – Inside the GOP’s long war on democracy
    Jun 23 2025
    Trump hates democracy – but that’s not exactly something new for a leading Republican. To understand the history of the GOP hating people they don’t like being able to vote, Jarv is joined by Thom Hartmann, progressive talk show host and the author of The Hartmann Report, who earlier this year wrote a piece called: The GOP’s 60-Year Conspiracy to Kill Our Democracy: None Dare Call It Treason—But I Will.
