This week hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum take on the LIES. There has been a cascade of falsehoods about Vice President Harris ever since she became the presumptive nominee for President. The hosts share Kamala’s real record as DA, CA Attorney General, and senator—not that the liars care. But seriously, how do we intend to counter all the disinformation??

Do you want to get involved this election season? The hosts offer tips on how to get politically engaged in response to a listener's question. They also answer your questions about Trump’s Agenda 47, white “control trauma,” and “voter festivals” to bring out the vote.

In other news, with the National Association of Black Journalists inviting Trump to speak at their conference, Andrew gives a firsthand perspective on why diversity and safe spaces within the press corps are mission critical.

A shoutout to the Tax Relief Bill working its way through the Senate this week. Contact your Senator and let them know the bill has your support!

And the hosts commemorate the first anniversary of what will surely go down as a most historical event—Augusteenth 2023! Tell your grandkids y’all, you were there for the memes.
