  • This Administration is a Joke: A Conversation with Timothy Snyder

    This Administration is a Joke: A Conversation with Timothy Snyder
    Jun 16 2026
    America is a wreck. The question is what are we going to do about it? As today’s guest, Timothy Snyder reminds us, every action we take, every group we join, every act of resistance we partake in, no matter how small, will help. That while the people in charge are doing everything possible to collapse American power and could be wildly successful, they could also fail spectacularly, and it’s up to us to convince people of that. We can’t keep thinking this man is irresistible, inevitable, or untouchable. He’s not even smart, and the choices he’s making are hurting us. We need a broad coalition to stand against what’s going on and then we need to start imagining what our country could be if we changed leadership.

  • Never Ending Election Lies: A Conversation with Marc Elias

    Never Ending Election Lies: A Conversation with Marc Elias
    Jun 9 2026
    Donald Trump and the Republicans, with an assist from the Supreme Court, seem willing to do anything they can to make sure they retain power in 26, regardless of the will of the voters. That why what’s happening with the voter fraud narrative in California isn’t just sour grapes, but a disinformation wave growing to build a case that votes can’t be trusted, that they need a national list, that they must have the SAVE Act, that we have to abandon drop boxes, mail in voting, and counting votes after election day. It’s not about limiting fraud. It’s about limiting votes. And you have to ask yourself what kind of government works this hard to limit votes?

  • Pass the Torch! : A Conversation with Run for Something’s Amanda Litman

    Pass the Torch! : A Conversation with Run for Something’s Amanda Litman
    Jun 2 2026
    We can no longer wait to be saved. It’s time to step up and save ourselves because Democratic leadership isn’t going to do it - if anything they need to be encouraged to pass the torch, because at the end of the day voters don’t vote for policy or even party, they vote for candidates they believe in. We need to be electing those people to local and state office now, so we have them in the wings for federal office later. Run For Something’s Amanda Litman reminds us not to give up hope. That what we’re dealing with is bad, and fighting back will be hard, but it’s not impossible and, if we do it right, we can change everything.

  • We’re Giving These Guys Money?! : A Conversation about the Presidential Slush Fund with Liz Oyer

    We’re Giving These Guys Money?! : A Conversation about the Presidential Slush Fund with Liz Oyer
    May 26 2026
    Liz Oyer talks to us about the president’s outrageous corruption and the complete distain he and his allies have for the American people and the rule of law. This billion dollar slush fund of taxpayer money his own personal lawyer has created for him along with the addition of total immunity from the IRS to ever hold him, his businesses, or his family accountable for tax evasion in perpetuity, has to have even president’s most ardent supporters questioning what’s going on.

  • Can We Vote Our Way Out of This? : A Conversation with Authoritarian Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat

    Can We Vote Our Way Out of This? : A Conversation with Authoritarian Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat
    May 19 2026
    Ruth Ben Ghiat reminds us that unless we want America to become a white, christian ethno-state, we need to be engaging now. Now is the best time as the administration sets everything on fire and people start to feel the pain. According to Ruth, we’re actually ahead of the curve in terms of resistance, so we need ramp it up, if anything overcompensate with positive action. Autocrats want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we’re not. Getting out of this mess is going to be an uphill battle, but it’s not a lost cause. In fact, if we play our cards right, we might even be able to build something way better than we had before.

    Why are we at war? Why are they trying to trick us into thinking the economy is good as if we don’t pay our own bills?

    The Return of Jim Crow: A Conversation with the ACLU’s Sophia Lin Lakin
    May 5 2026
    Don’t think for a moment that the dismantling of the 1965 Voting Rights Act stops with disenfranchising Black voters. Once Republicans are finished suppressing Black votes, women are next, gay Americans will follow, and then they’ll come for the working poor. Nobody is safe once if the powers that be are allowed to dismantle democracy. Dismantling the voting rights act isn’t a Black issue. It’s a EVERYBODY issue and everybody needs to ACT LIKE IT.

    The Boy Wants A Ballroom! A Conversation with Joanna Johnson
    Apr 28 2026
    We don’t know if the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner was staged. What we do know, is that everyone involved acted incredibly strangely before, during, and after, and within an hour of the event there was a calculated onslaught of propaganda from the White House press room to the entirety of the right wing internet around the necessity of Trump getting his ballroom. And if you don’t think that’s weird…you’re not paying attention. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
