The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

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.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

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

I sat down this week with Corey Nathan, host of the podcast “Talkin Politics & Religion Without Killin Each Other.” How to engage? Who to engage with and not engage with? Is any of this making a difference? Nice conversation here with Corey. Have a listen.

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.

Why In This Moment It’s Important For Us To Understand History. A Conversation

I sat down with media and political historian Brian Rosenwald to discuss what this political moment in America means right now, what we can learn from history, and what is the future of both of our political parties. Fascinating conversation.

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.

PAXIS Belongs to Us. Not Billionaires. Not Big Tech. Just Millions of Americans Who Care

We launched PAXIS yesterday as the answer to the cruelty and lawlessness of ICE. In our first 24 hours, we raised over $7,000 to launch this new AI-powered, know-your-rights tool for immigrants (and citizens!) facing down ICE. We did it with no media outreach, no massive PR campaign, no big donors—just me talking to you, and you responding. Why? Because Trump can’t stop hundreds of thousands or even millions of us. Be a part of PAXIS. www.paxis.app

The Answer To What ICE Is Doing Is You. And Me. And All Of Us

These immigrants had done everything the right way, and gone thru the process legally, and were in line to go thru the final ceremony to become U.S. citizens, and they were grabbed and taken out of line. Because of the countries they came from. Horrible. But the only way we stop the cruel immigration enforcement going on right now is to all stand together, stay informed, and know what our rights are. This is how we defeat ICE. And the tool to do it is called PAXIS. www.paxis.app

What Democrats Must Do When They Assume Power. A Conversation With Steve Schmidt

I sat down with long time political strategist Steve Schmidt to discuss this political moment, what Democrats need to do to meet this moment, and if they meet the moment and take back the House or the Senate, what they must do once they’re back in power. Fascinating chat. Have a listen.

Until He’s Dead Or In Prison, EVERY Election Must Be A Referendum On Trump

Two days ago, Trump unleashed the ugliest, most bigoted stuff about brown and black immigrants. About Somalian-Americans. And his entire cabinet just sat there and nodded. Yesterday, he unleashed even uglier stuff about Somalian-Americans. And the Congress people and business executives just stood there and nodded. Silence is complicity. The entire Republican Party owns his racism, bigotry, and cruelty. So every election for the foreseeable future must be about him. Period.

The Perfect Democratic Candidate For Alabama

The Democratic Party needs to learn to back candidates who can win. And a Democrat who can win in NYC is not a Democrat who can win in Alabama. I sat down with Kyle Sweetser, who, like me, is a new Democrat and is running for the U.S. Senate from Alabama. He’s the perfect candidate for that state.

It Ain’t Hegseth, It’s Trump. It Ain’t Patel, It’s Trump. And On And On And…

Sure, Pete Hegseth was utterly unqualified for his job. But who hired him? Same goes for Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and so many more. But the person to blame for each of them doing the destruction they’re each doing is Trump. This administration isn’t in trouble because of the people around Trump. It’s in trouble because of Trump.
