Heather Cox Richardson on How the Hell We Got Here
Jo sits down with Heather Cox Richardson to connect the chaos in your house to the chaos in American democracy—and spoiler: the mess didn’t start with you, but it sure as hell can end with us.Heather walks us through how we got from “basic civic competence” to “strongman with a merch store,” why Indiana gerrymanders and minority rule are not just boring process stories but actual democracy murder weapons, and what this moment looks like in the long, ugly pattern of American backsliding.

Harry Dunn on Trump, Jan 6 & Our Last Chance
The president can’t recall which body part got scanned; but Harry Dunn can recite a coup attempt beat‑by‑beat and still show up tomorrow. Today we’re joined by Harry Dunn, who remembers every second of January 6. Together they talk about goldfish, why “everything will be fine” is a lie, parenting through democratic decay, and what showing up looks like when winning isn’t guaranteed.

Unmasking MAGA: Ro Khanna, Receipts & the End of Denial
What does it actually takes to force accountability in Washington—especially when it comes to the long-shielded Epstein files? Jo sits down with Congressman Ro Khanna in the aftermath of Congress’s seismic vote to crack open the Epstein files—a moment that didn’t just force transparency but shattered the protective wall hiding MAGA’s ugliest secrets. This episode gets into the high-stakes fight that put Trump’s allies on blast, exposed institutional rot, and dared the GOP to choose: protect the cult or face the truth alongside the rest of us. Khanna reveals how survivor pressure, public outrage, and a no-bullshit demand for receipts finally cornered the power structure built on denial, distraction, and impunity.

Jess Piper joins to torch the week’s biggest outrages: the fresh dump of Epstein files implicating Trump and power brokers; Megyn Kelly’s jaw-dropping defense of “degrees” of child abuse; performative Democrats and predatory Republicans both hiding behind “protect the kids” slogans; and the everyday struggles faced by rural families lost in the national noise.
