Song of the Day 7/15: The Strawbs, “Part of the Union”
Nearly all of Hollywood — oh, OK, just the actors and writers — is on strike, an ominous situation. Remember when the writers walked out in 1988? That brought on the flood of reality TV programming that led to the Kardashians. With both the writers and actors gone, producers might turn to robots and AI […]

What Could Be More Dangerous Than Drag Queens Launching ICBM Missiles? Um, this guy? (Watch the video): U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale worries that drag queens at Montana’s Malmstrom Air Force Base will launch an intercontinental ballistic missile. He called transgender soldiers too mentally unstable to serve. “We have drag shows taking place at Malmstrom Air […]
Song of the Day 7/14: Tracy Chapman, “Fast Car”
This song is proof (if we needed any after Lil Nas X and “Old Town Road”) that the term “country music” has lost all meaning except as a barrier to the “wrong people.” Country’s latest superstar, Luke Combs, has taken “Fast Car” to No. 1 on the country charts — not without controversy. It’s been […]

Wish I could tell you more, but I had a great time yesterday evening. I met several incredible candidates who will be running for the General Assembly next year. Can’t wait until you get to meet them…plus…there are more coming! But, I digress. Climate Change Is Here. Now. The denialists weren’t only wrong, they exacerbated […]

Show Notes:
The Bud Light-ization of the MAGA Mind
The Bud Light boycott by MAGA nit wits basically worked. People who drink shitty beer moved on to some other shitty beer because Bud Light gave a trans person a case one time. That success means everything MAGA decides is doesn’t like is going to be “the next Bud Light”. In Florida, for example, […]
Not “hypocritical” but criminal
uhh… can we stop calling Republicans hypocrits and call them what they are is criminals? Voter suppression is a crime. Here is what happened. In Ohio only one specific form can be used to request absentee ballots. Jewish groups were sent the wrong form and they were rejected. Anti-abortion groups were also sent the wrong […]

Sorry for the late post, everybody else is off and my plane was late. The DOJ is appealing the sentences handed down to Oath Keepers because their sentences, including 18 years for head dipshit Stewart Rhodes for seditious conspiracy, are well below sentencing guidelines. Personally, I fail to see why the sentence was not death […]
Song of the Day 7/12: Badfinger, “Come and Get It”
You’d think a pillow maker would have engineered a softer landing. Mike Lindell, the Trump-loving MAGAteer who got rich selling shoddy, overpriced sleep products, is feeling the pinch, so he’s selling off his company’s “surplus equipment.” According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the firm has listed more than 850 items on an online auction site — […]

It’s Sarah McBride on Pod Save America Day! They gave the gay best friend from every romcom, Jon Lovett, the McBride Interview.

Song of the Day 7/11: Elvis Costello, “I’m Not Angry”
The national media have stumbled upon a story that anybody in Delaware could have told them decades ago — Joe Biden has a temper. Axios reported, rather breathlessly, that aides try to avoid one-on-one meetings with POTUS because of his explosive outbursts. Biden’s temper comes in the form of angry interrogations rather than erratic tantrums. […]
