The Police State is Here with Jenn Budd & Brandie Posey (Ep 291)
What does a former Customs and Border Patrol agent think about ICE’s new tactics? That they’ve been around for a long time. Jenn Budd joins Francesca to talk ICE’s recruitment problems, the pervasive violence in border enforcement, and why the police state is here. And comedian Brandie Posey joins to talk about the no good very bad U.S. economy and Texas Republicans trying to gerrymander the GOP’s way into never facing consequences for their rank policies. Who cares if people don’t have healthcare if their vote doesn’t matter?

Kyrsten Sinema Is Still Trash
The wine o’clock girl boss is at it again. Even though Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is out of the Senate, she’s spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign cash on lavish hotels, dinners, Taylor Swift concert tickets and LOTS OF WINE. Now she’s working as a lobbyist for the cryptocurrency company in bed with Trump: Coinbase.
How is it that a Democrat is allowed to both be so beholden to corporate donors but also illegally spend so much money on… WINE. So much wine.
Francesca will lay our all of Sinema’s illegal spending, which industries paid for her work tanking progress for the American people, and what she’s up to now.
While Kyrsten may be the Anna Delvey of the Senate, the very fact that she was never held accountable for her flagrant fraud is evidence of how the Democratic party might talk a big game, but are just as compromised when it comes to big money.

AOC’s Big Whiff & Canary Mission’s Big Break w/ Olayemi Olurin & Sophie Hurwitz (Ep 290)
A bad vote from AOC is giving Francesca chills about 2026 and 2028. If Democratic leaders can’t shake the liberal Zionist tendencies, the party (and Palestine) are doomed. Meanwhile, vigilante websites like Canary Mission get a new lease on doxxing as Trump’s DHS is using their database to disappear students like Rumeysa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil. Journalist Sophie Hurwitz joins to explain.
But first, Eric Adams continues to be trash as limps toward November, and commentator and movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin is here for all of it. Plus declassifying the … MLK Jr. files? There’s a bigger more racist plot afoot.

How Republicans FAILED The Texas Flood Victims
There’s nothing political about tragedy...that is, unless every politician at every level of government did absolutely nothing to prevent it.
What happened in Texas on July 4th wasn’t an act of God, it was an act of recklessness from lying politicians and yes, the voters who still believe them. Over 135 people are dead because at the county level, the state level and the federal level, Republicans have failed to take climate preparedness seriously. Whenever there was a decision to fund it, they decided to cut taxes instead. Whenever there was a discussion to take climate change seriously, they’ve called it a hoax.
Francesca takes you through EVERY level of this colossal failure: from Camp Mystic’s director waiting an hour to evacuate campers, to Kerr County’s refusal to pay for a mere $1 million flood warning system, to Texas state legislators shooting down climate infrastructure projects while simultaneously passing massive tax breaks, to a wildly unqualified FEMA director who didn’t know hurricane seasons was a thing, to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defunding the agency to the point where distress calls were ignored and rescue crews were missing in action. It’s also a failure on voters, who in 2021 rejected $10 million from the federal government for climate projects because the money came from…. BIDEN!!!!!
When it’s all said and done, what is killing people is a right-wing ideology that doesn’t believe in climate change despite it playing out before our eyes, and that is hell-bent on rugged individualism and low taxes no matter what the costs. So when do we stop playing the blame game and start holding people accountable by booting them from power?
In other words, when will we actually take our children’s futures seriously.

The 5 Most Insane Plans for Gaza *DEEP DIVE*
As Israel shows no sign of slowing down its assault on the people of Gaza, cretinous opportunists are laying out plans for its future. None of these future plans involve Palestinians living with dignity or autonomy or in their homes.
From Trump’s crass comments about the U.S. “owning” Gaza and being some sort of business middle man, to his own son-in-law taking over islands in nearby Albania, the President and his accolades are licking their chops for the total destruction of the area.
Francesca lays out five of the most diabolical and outlandish plans for Gaza, which include things like the “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing” free trade zone, and highways named after Mohammad bin-Salman of Saudi Arabia.
Of course we can’t forget about Israel itself and both Prime Minister Netanyahu’s aims and the extremists in his coalition who want a “Greater Israel.”
CHAPTERS:
#5 BIDEN’S PLAN
#4 TRUMP AND KUSHNER
#3 NETANYAHU AND GAZA 2035
#2 PROJECT AURORA AND … TONY BLAIR?!
#1 GREATER ISRAEL

Good Boys and Gals & The Rojava Revolution w/ Krystal Ball and Matt Broomfield (Ep 289)
After briefly opening Pandora’s Box of Trump-Epstein anger, right-wing mouthpieces are now being good ‘boys’ and ‘gals’ by no longer talking about Epstein. Krystal Ball of Breaking Points and Krystal and Kyle and Friends joins Francesca to talk about the easy acquiescence of MAGA, plus the billionaire hubris of hedge fund manager Bill Ackman buying his way into men’s sports.
Then, Cuomo is running as an independent and seems even sadder and more frail than before. What does Zohran’s electrifying the Democratic base mean for the party moving forward, and how has anti-Zionism become a litmus test. Then, journalist Matt Broomfield joins to about Jared Kushner’s land grab in Albania, and the the Rojava Revolution in Northern Syria, where 4 million Kurds live after having battled ISIS, the Turks and The Syrian government to carve out self-governance that is gender and ethnically inclusive.

Taco Stand Safety with Vanessa Gonzalez & Michelle Ming (Ep 288)
As ICE raids roll on, comedian Vanessa Gonzalez and political director of United We Dream Michelle Ming join to talk real community safety and defense. Then, MAGA gets played like a fiddle as Trump’s DOJ seals the Epstein case/covers his tracks. Plus, Cancun Cruz is now Tourist Ted as he’s spotted in Greece instead of in his home state that’s dealing with the tragic fallout of unprecedented flash flooding.
*UPDATE ON THE SHOW* There will no longer be a live bonus Wednesday show or a Friday show. Francesca is going to take the time to refocus on longer-form deep dives that can also be funny. Back to the Newsbroke bread and butter now that her team is stronger thanks to you. The audio version of these will be posted on the feed, but there will be fewer “epsiodes” These investigative pieces take more work however and your support is dearly appreciated.

Special Thursday Show with Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez
Whelp, the GOP finally did it. The House just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, and millions of Americans are going to suffer as a result. Happy Birthday America! Hope you enjoy losing your healthcare and fascism. It’s not all bad though, because this bill also kills all the incentives for green energy in the U.S. At this point, let’s get the climate apocalypse here ASAP.
As ICE becomes completely lawless under the authoritarian Trump regime, we need direct action in resistance. Francesca had a conversation with Los Angeles City Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez about the increasing violence from ICE in LA, and the ways he is taking action to build effective resistance.
Speaking of ICE, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the U.S. but still under detention. And we are learning exactly how messed up CECOT is. Kilmar confirmed that he was mentally and physically tortured while at CECOT. And don’t forget that there are still so many immigrants that were sent there illegally who are still stuck under those conditions. All the while, the American gestapo is trying to deport Kilmar AGAIN.

MAGA Murder Bill Passes Senate & ICE Out of Home Depot w/ Nato Green & Pablo Alvarado (Ep 287)
The Senate passes a bill that will strip 12 million people of their healthcare, kick millions off of food assistance, all while making the police state even stronger and giving a tax break to the rich. It’s a wealth transfer as clear as day. Comedian Nato Green is back on to talk about this, plus the dawn of real Big Brother authoritarian surveillance, and the pitiful response from centrist Democrats. Lookout “Project 2029”? Ugh. Then, Pablo Alvarado of The National Day Laborers Organizing Network joins to talk about the ICE attacks on immigrant communities and what is being done to stop the raids on workers at Home Depot. Get involved!
