    Today while Trump is hiding in a catering van, we talk about the lives he continues to put at risk both here and abroad. But the midterms are coming and despite his best efforts to disenfranchise voters, we talk about how you can help us make it the undeniable blowout win we need in November!

    Practivist Progressive Progress

    08/06/2026 | 37 mins.
    Today we’ve got a huge progressive victory in Michigan in a very close senate race with results that will send pundits punditing all over the Democratic party. So we will try not to do that but also… we are going to talk about it all… Also, with just less than 90 days to go, Trump’s approval rating hits another historic low as he craps his pants right into the midterms.

    Getting Proximate with Scott Budnick

    08/04/2026 | 29 mins.
    We are a deeply divided country that is increasingly isolated from each other. One of the most effective ways that we can break through our bubbles is through the arts. My guest today is a successful producer who is supporting storytellers and productions that break through and build awareness and empathy.
    Scott Budnick is CEO of the Film and TV company 1Community, co-founder and CEO of digital media startup Project Andron and founder of the criminal justice organization, The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC). Before launching 1Community, Scott produced major studio comedies including Old School, Due Date, Project X, War Dogs, and The Hangover trilogy.
    He is also active in public policy, most recently working directly with Governor Gavin Newsom and the CA legislature to double the California Film and TV tax credit.  For his work with youth in the criminal justice system, Governor Jerry Brown named Scott California Volunteer of the Year in 2012. He was appointed by the California legislature to The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) and serves as a board member for President Barack Obama's My Brother's Keeper Alliance.

    Primary Reasons for Hope

    07/30/2026 | 30 mins.
    Today as we inch ever closer to the midterms, our field is becoming clearer as primaries enter the final stretch around the country. We have the wind at our backs but are being met with Trump’s massive voter disenfranchisement campaign, so we can’t get comfy for a second. We talk about that, some drama within the DNC, how you can help us win the House AND the Senate, and also… where’s Mitch???

    Fair Elections with Rebekah Caruthers

    07/28/2026 | 22 mins.
    With less than 100 days until the midterms, the Trump regime is ramping up their attack on voting rights with continued false claims of fraud, unconstitutional executive orders, and threats to send law enforcement to polling places. So we are glad to be having this important and timely conversation about how we can fight back against these suppression tactics and make sure that all Americans have access to their ballot.
    Rebekah Caruthers is President & CEO at Fair Elections Center, a national voting rights organization that’s work is centered around making sure that elections are fair, registration is accessible and all Americans can cast their vote.
