ELECTION DAY 2025

(Recorded LIVE on November 4, 2025) Julie Roginsky and Michelle Kinney break down what’s really at stake on this Election Day — from New Jersey’s razor-tight governor’s race to the quiet but critical judicial elections in Pennsylvania and California’s redistricting ballot fight that could shift the balance of power in Congress.
Then: the media circus. Trump’s unhinged 60 Minutes interview, his “eight wars” fantasy, CBS’s diversity layoffs, and George Clooney’s op-ed tour. Julie calls out the press for repeating the same malpractice that got us here — and how celebrity privilege gets weaponized to rewrite the story.
 
Plus: why retention votes and local courts matter as much as governors, and what happens when we stop showing up for democracy until it’s almost gone. If you’re in CA or PA, vote. Everywhere else: call a friend, remind them what’s on the line, and stay with us for live results and dispatches throughout the day.

(Recorded LIVE on October 30, 2025)
The Dodgers are on the ropes as the Blue Jays surge (wow!) —while the GOP fumbles at home and Mike Johnson proves to be the worst Speaker in history. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks ranks to torch Speaker Mike Johnson over a no-plan shutdown and health-care mess.
Plus: Trump’s princess crown-and-pageantry optics in Asia, a DOJ “loyalty purge” sidelining J6 prosecutors, and… do MAGA influencers secretly just want to star in musical theatre? (Yes, yes they do.)
Michelle and Julie break down the day’s top headlines, what matters behind the noise, and why it all connects — unfiltered, unbossed, and unafraid.

The Tokyo Walk of Shame: Donald Trump is deeply unwell, “Trump 2028? Relax, we were just kidding!”, Trump loves Andrew Lloyd Webber

(Recorded live on October 29, 2025)
Trump’s “Best in Show” stroll in Tokyo, move over Man Woman Camera TV and meet not a Lion, Elephant, and Giraffe, GOP trying to walk back the Trump 2028 calling it a "troll" -- we know better. We break down media malpractice, Speaker Johnson’s food-aid brinkmanship, SNAP’s real-world life or death fallout, healthcare premium spikes, and surprising GOP state pushback on mid-decade maps. Trump loves 80s musicals, especially Cats. Did he have dreams of Broadway that never materialized? Plus: Trump attempts an Indian accent (omg) at event with Modi, and World Series updates.

The Era of Trump's Show Trials Begin, Mike Davis’ Reign of Terror, Republican War on Working People

(Recorded live on October 27, 2025)
The era of Trump Regime's show trials has begun. Trump’s inner circle is laying the groundwork for mass political prosecutions—and this time, it’s not bluster. MAGA lawyer Mike Davis, a close ally of Pam Bondi and was previously a likely pick for Attorney General, says a new Florida grand jury will target top Democrats like Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and Jack Smith. Michelle Kinney and Julie Roginsky unpack Davis’s history, his ties to extremist media figures like Benny Johnson, and the real authoritarian playbook behind his threats. Then: Republicans are waging an economic war on working people. Millions of Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits, despite the fact that most recipients already work full-time. Julie shares her own family’s refugee story—and how the cruelty now baked into GOP policy is designed to humiliate, not to help. Plus, the death knell of legacy media. It's the mainstream media’s dangerous obsession and complicity with horse-race politics that has led us to the downfall of American democracy.
