The PoliticsGirl Podcast

"The PoliticsGirl Podcast" features guest Dahlia Lithwick, who believes we have an opportunity to address the court with our politics. Corruption within the court and the need for institutional change are discussed. The podcast delves into Supreme Court ethics, recent legislation for a code of conduct, and a violation of the court. Sponsors Miracle and Real Paper are mentioned, along with recent Supreme Court decisions and their impact. The conservative nature of the court, power dynamics, and corruption are also explored.

Dr. Allison Gill, founder of MSW Media and host of the Daily Beans and the Jack Podcast, discusses the recent Trump indictments related to January 6th and Conspiracy to Defraud the United States. The ins and outs of the cases in Florida and Georgia are explored, but the focus is on the case in DC, where a sitting President plotted against the will of the voters to stay in power. The trial outcome will define the nation's course.

It’s easy to demonize Hollywood, to think the people who work in entertainment don’t have the same problems as you or I, but when you take away the glitz & glamour, entertainment is just another industry filled with regular people doing regular work. The vast majority who work in Hollywood are not superstars. This strike is primarily working people standing up for the rights of working people and the superstars standing in solidarity. Actors and writers are the front line in two battles: The rise of AI and how humanity fits into a world with artificial intelligence, and class warfare, who gets to succeed in our society. The deals these unions get, the agreements these corporations make will ultimately affect every single industry and almost every single American.If you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Republicans spin a good yarn, but data doesn’t lie, and since globalization began the contrast between Republican and Democratic performance on the economy has been incredibly stark. Look no further than Bidenomics vs. Reaganomics. While the Democrats continue to evolve to attempt to create an economy that works for all of us, Republicans keep doubling down on policies that only serve the rich. There’s no reason Democrats should continue to lose the conversation around the economy when study after study shows that Democratic leadership equals growth, lower deficits, and the ability to adapt to a changing market, while Republican leadership equals recessions, higher deficits, and continued American decline.With that in mind, today we talk about the success of Bidenomics with White House Communications Director, Ben LaBolt. You want to understand where we really are with politics & the economy? Then this is the pod for you!If you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

We know the conservative movement wants to return us to “a better time”, what they see as the “natural order”, with the white, straight Christian man on top, but even those who see themselves as liberal or centrist can struggle with the idea of changing the status quo, because it feels like a potential losing proposition for people who have always been at the top. That people who would be outwardly opposed to MAGA still feel uncomfortable with all these calls for equality and respect, especially when it’s perceived to question their judgment, or status in society. Nostalgia is a powerful part of the human condition, and it can easily become the filter through which every political, social, and cultural piece of information is absorbed. So if a political movement offers to bring back what has supposedly been lost, or at least keep us at status quo, it’s hard to resist because it speaks directly to the anxieties people have around the social and cultural change America has been undergoing over the past century.If you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

The mounting chaos surrounding the Republican presidential primary makes you wonder what we’re doing here. To figure it out, we have a conversation with Micheal Steele, former Chair of RNC, and someone who knows this party well. Despite the fact that MAGA keeps trying to get rid of him, he believes in his party. The question is, how do we stop the extremism? How do we, as Michael says, “save ourselves from stupid?”DON’T FORGET that you can now SUBSCRIBE to PoliticsGirl Premium to get this podcast ad free and support us as we continue to bring you the best content possible.

The Republican Party of today has taken a turn, a turn from traditional “conservative” values into something far more odious and, as our guest, Dara Starr Tucker, would say, far more toxic. As a popular influencer in social commentary Dara is launching a new project to explore this rise of toxicity. Where it comes from, what it’s based in, and hopefully, if we can better understand it, how we can beat it. With mainstream media more and more beholden to their corporate owners, and the story those owners want to tell, those of us who want the truth are increasingly dependent on independent voices to keep us in the know. Dara Starr Tucker is one of those voices I really believe is worth listening to. DON’T FORGET that you can now SUBSCRIBE to PoliticsGirl Premium to get this podcast ad free and support us as we continue to bring you the best content possible.

Today’s episode is a sneak peak of what the PoliticsGirl Premium subscribers will have access to with our first Ask Me Anything episode in which Political Warriors & Champions have the opportunity to write in questions that I’ll answer directly as bonus content. Today’s Questions:  Knowing what you know about American politics, how can you be positive about America’s future?  How do we reach the people who only consume right-wing media? With a quarter to a third of the country giving up on democracy, how do we begin to reduce that number?  Do you think Biden should be the nominee? Isn’t he just too old? We wanted to give everyone a chance to hear some of the perks we’ll be offering to our premium subscribers, so if you’d like to have access to the AMA content in the future, and for the ability to ask questions yourself, please consider becoming a PoliticsGirl premium subscriber at PoliticsGirl.com/premium to sign up for one of our subscription packages. And, of course, this episode also drops on the 4th of July, so we start with a little history lesson around the day because it’s hard to know where we’re going if we don’t know where we’ve been. As always, please RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!All show links here!: https://linktr.ee/politicsgirlThank you to today’s sponsors!http://www.trymiracle.com/politicsgirl code: PoliticsGirlhttp://www.manukora.com/politicsgirl code: PoliticsGirl

How many emails a day do you get from people claiming if you don’t send money immediately democracy will die and it’ll be all your fault? How many texts do you get from people you’ve never heard of because you gave your information to someone at sometime and now everyone has your number? How many campaigns have you donated to that either lost by 20 points or won by 20 points? What are we doing here?? We want to help, but also, this is ridiculous! There has to be a better way. Join me and Swing Left Executive Director Yasmin Radjy as we talk about making it as easy as possible for everyone to have a maximum impact on elections with the least amount of drama. It’s inspirational. It’s action based and we talk about the 3 next elections you NEED to be paying attention to. There are more of us who believe in democracy, civil rights and fairness than those who would take it away. We just can’t let them get the jump on us. This is where we start. DON’T FORGET that you can now SUBSCRIBE to PoliticsGirl Premium to get this podcast ad free and support us as we continue to bring you the best content possible.

Terms: dave.com/legalJoin the brilliant Thom Hartmann and I as we break down the most recent Trump indictment and discuss how the documents he had, and lied about having, are most likely just the tip of the iceberg. Understand where we stand with this case and how this case fits into the context of previous Republican presidents. Donald Trump is often treated like an anomaly, some kind of aberration but, as Thom argues in his writing, he’s hardly our first criminal president and perhaps, if there had be ramifications for those who came before, we might not find ourselves in the place we’re in now. To be honest, researching this episode blew my mind. I can’t believe how much we don’t know about what certain presidents have done in the past to gain power and stay in power. It’s no wonder Trump’s so upset. Everyone else got away with breaking the law, why not him?DON’T FORGET: You can now SUBSCRIBE to PoliticsGirl Premium to get this podcast ad free and to support us as we continue to bring you the best content possible.
