The majority of youth in America are not on board for the new extremist Republican agenda. They believe in reproductive rights, and that the climate is in crisis. They’re against book banning and propaganda education. They’re majority pro-LGBTQ, pro-union, pro-health care, pro-living wage and pro-common sense gun legislation, and the Republican party offer them none of that. GenZ might technically still be new to politics, with the oldest member of the generation turning 26 this year, but they know who they are and what they want. Our youth is also looking around at everything from our legislation to our politicians and not seeing themselves reflected, and that hurts with turnout and engagement. Which is why our guest today is so important. Maxwell Frost is not only the first member of GenZ to be elected to Congress, he’s been elected to represent Florida. So as he looks to, and represents the future of our government and country, he hails from a state that’s currently working overtime to take us to the past. Join me for an amazing, hopeful, proactive conversation from someone who has fresh eyes on our old system. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

In honor of Labor Day we’re going to talk about the importance of the American worker, but more specifically about the importance of union work. American workers have clearly had enough. The majority of us know we can’t carry on like this. That the wealth inequality and the growing chasm between workers and owners is leading this country down a dark path. At their peak, 40% of American workers were part of a union, now that number is under 7%, and look what’s happened - the rich got richer while the poor got poorer and the middle class has all but disappeared. People can’t afford homes, food or health care, and the majority of us have to take a side hustle or gig work on top of our regular jobs just to make ends meet. It’s unsustainable, and the workers of America are beginning to stand in solidarity against it. To talk about the importance of union voices in the fight for our future we are joined by AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler whose federation includes 60 unions and 12.5 million working people across all sectors of the U.S. economy as she gives us a hopeful path to a better future. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

If you care about democracy in America, then you care about the upcoming election in Virginia this November. And before you think yeah, I don’t live in Virginia, I’ll think I’ll skip it, I want you to think about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in April, or the Ohio special election this August. Most of us don’t live in those states, but our attention on those elections, and their successful results, put the Republicans and their increasingly extremist agenda, on notice. So today we’re going to talk to two Virginia candidates: Senate Candidate, and current House Delegate, Danica Roem, and social media star and now House Delegate Jessica Anderson. Virginia is THE most important race in the country right now. The next big election to WIN. It’s the opportunity to give the Republican Party and their abortion restricting, book banning, voter suppressing, soft supremacy the double middle finger and say not this time, not on our watch.As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

"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.
