The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

Yes, The Truth Is Scary. But You Need To Accept It. Now.

I confess to being surprised that so many people and so many leaders here and around the world STILL haven’t accepted the truth about Donald Trump. After all these years, so many people still don’t want to acknowledge who Donald Trump is. I know it’s a scary truth, but people better accept it. Because he needs to be stopped.

A Day This Country Will Never Recover From

Five years ago today, our Capitol was attacked. Not by foreign armies. By American citizens. In a violent attempt to overthrow an American election. These Americans were led and inspired by the lies of a traitor to this country. That traitor, that enemy of democracy, is back in power 5yrs later. We will never be the same.

Yes, Trump Is A Tyrant. But We’ve Let Him Be A Tyrant

Invading Venezuela and kidnapping its leader was illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral. Trump had no legal authority to do it. It was just wrong. But every day for the past ten yrs, Trump has done illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral things. And we’ve NEVER held him accountable for any of it. So who’s to blame him for thinking he can do whatever he wants?

If We Don’t Care About Democracy, We’ll Lose It

An American president committed crimes trying to overturn an American election. And the American people put that president back in power. The problem isn’t Trump. The problem is us. The problem is the American people. If we don’t care about our democracy, we’ll lose it. Happy New Year.

Quit Whining MAGA. It’s Called Freedom And The Market At Work

Performer cancellations at the Kennedy Center continue to pile up. Now the entire New Year’s Eve show has been canceled. All because Trump illegally put his name on the Center. And Trump and his sycophants are complaining about it. Tough luck. This is the market and the resistance at work.

It’s Scary To Say Out Loud, But It’s True: Trump Is A Russian Asset

By now, everyone should acknowledge the truth. Donald Trump is on Russia’s side. He works for Putin. As mind boggling as that is to acknowledge, we must acknowledge it so we fully understand what we’re dealing with. The leader of the free world is not on the side of the free world. He’s taking his marching orders from Putin.

We’re Not Okay

I don’t care what your politics are, I don’t care if you’re MAGA right, far left, or somewhere in between. Darn near every American knows America isn’t okay right not. We’re just not. Something is wrong. We’re not okay. And if we want to stay together as a nation, we need to figure out why we’re not okay. And then figure out how to fix it.

What ICE Is Doing Is Un-American & Trump’s Republican Party Is Un-American Too

Another man dies in ICE custody. And he never should have been in ICE custody. Here legally for 30yrs, business owner and ICE grabbed him. Also, JD Vance yesterday continued the GOP’s daily assault on the very principles this country was founded upon.

Engaging With People Whose Views You Despise. A Conversation

Don’t Laugh At What You Saw & Heard Last Night. DEFEAT It.

Yes, Trump’s speech last night was 18 minutes of an angry old man yelling at us, lying to us, and trying to cover his ass. Yes, it was laughable. But that old man had been elected twice, and it’s up to all of us to, after we laugh at him, keep our heads down to do what we have to do to win in 2026. Because he and his people work everyday to try to cheat in the midterms.

Personal Character MUST Matter. If It Doesn’t, Then We’re Fucked

I’ve said it often, but the beauty of Trump is that because he’s so bad, and so horrible, he’s forcing Americans to decide in real time what kind of country we want to be. And because Trump is utterly void of personal character, he’s forcing the American people to answer this question: Does character matter anymore? Well, does it? How we answer that question will had profound impact on our democracy.

James Carville Is Wrong Again. Trump Will Never Be A Lame Duck

It’s too easy to say - Trump is finished, he’s a loser, he’s a lame duck, his cultish party is finally going to stand up to him. It’s all too easy to say, and we’ve been here too many times before. Trump, as long as he’s breathing, will be the leader of the Republican Party. And to win, Democrats must not hope Trump finally fades. Democrats must BEAT him.

Will Donald Trump Pardon the DC Pipe Bomber? Plus, Hegseth’s War Crime (w/ Mike Nellis)

Mike and I dive headfirst into the madness — from finally catching the D.C. pipe bomber to wondering whether Donald Trump will reward yet another January 6th true believer with a pardon. We tear into the Cuellar pardon, Pete Hegseth’s never-ending circus at the Pentagon, and a House GOP so dysfunctional it makes my old Congress look sane. Buckle up — it’s a hell of a Friday, and you know I’m bringing the piss and vinegar.

Inside the Extremism Threat with Investigator Kristofer Goldsmith

I sat down with Army veteran and extremism investigator Kristofer Goldsmith for a urgent conversation about the rise of right-wing extremism in America. Goldsmith details his years infiltrating neo-Nazi groups, the growing influence of Christian nationalism, and the dangers emerging inside U.S. institutions—including the military and ICE. It's a great conversation about what it will take to confront fascism and why going on offense is now essential to protecting democracy.
