Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman joins The Mayday Podcast for a thoughtful conversation about leadership, service, and showing up honestly in difficult moments. With decades in public life, she reflects on what authentic leadership actually looks like—and why it matters now. A grounded, human discussion about responsibility, courage, and the work ahead.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Mayday Podcast, hosted by Julie Roginsky and Michelle Kinney. In Episode 1, we’re joined by Congressman Jim Himes, Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, for a candid conversation about the Venezuela boat strikes, the rules of war, congressional oversight, and what happens when democratic norms, due process, and trust with U.S. allies begin to erode. A serious, no-bullshit discussion about power, accountability, and the stakes of this moment.
