The notorious conspiracy website Infowars made its final broadcast on April 30, 2026 and hours later, the site went dark. Jared, Mike and this week's guest,  Dan Friesen , co-host of the legendary and recently retired podcast  Knowledge Fight , get together to talk about the closure of Infowars and the future of its founder, Alex Jones.  The guys review the final hours of Infowars' time on...

Listen to the full episode on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit Jared and Mike dig into reports of chaos at The Daily Wire after Candace Owens — once one of its top stars — claimed the company enacted a “bloodbath” of layoffs affecting as much as 60% of its staff. (The Daily Wire confirmed the layoffs but denied they were as extensive as Owens claimed.) What followed was an unusual weekend of...

The coalition of activists known as “Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA, has emerged as a legitimate force in American politics and it’s hardly a given that they will remain aligned with President Trump and the Republican Party.  Researcher and reporter  Madeline Peltz  returns to  Posting Through It  to brief us on the MAHA movement and their mission–weighing in on how his diverse group can the...

Mike and Jared review an unusually eventful White House Correspondents' Dinner, which abruptly ended after a man sprinted past a security checkpoint in hopes of finding and killing the man he saw as a "pedophile, rapist, and traitor": President Donald Trump. Then, they also check in on MAGA's defamatory claims that the Southern Poverty Law Center planned the deadly Unite the Righ...

For the 100th episode of  Posting Through It  , Jared and Mike welcome back NYC correspondent Bobby Silverman to discuss a major investigation he co-bylined at  WIRED  magazine looking at how powerful individuals and companies are building their own surveillance networks — effectively creating their own private “deep states.” Bobby's story zeroes in on one such "panopticon," built ar...

Jared and Mike sit down to review new allegations that Kash Patel is the coolest FBI director we’ve ever had. Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against  The Atlantic  after it published  an article  where sources said Patel barely showed up to work, spent his time thinking too hard about FBI merchandise, and liked getting white-girl-wasted at some place called “The Poodle Lounge.” But...

How many y’all like JD Vance? That’s the question some proponents of MAGA are asking as the movement grapples with the inevitable reality of Trumpism ending. Either Trump’s term will run out, or the McDonald's will take its course, or an angry mob will secure control of the White House — something has to give here.  Superficially, Vance seems like the obvious choice to replace Trump... but may...

When the MAGA phenomenon first took off in 2016, the term evoked nationalism and racism, but it cast a wide enough tent for most Republicans to feel comfortable joining in. Ten years later, the term has mutated, and so have MAGA candidates.  Look no further than the hot, sweaty, iguana-riddled, environmentally atrophying state of Florida, where James Fishback and Dan Bilzerian are seeking public o...

Jared and Mike hosted a talk about Mike's new book " Strange People on the Hill " at  Politics and Prose  in Washington, DC, on April 11, 2026. Thank you to everyone who came out! This episode includes audio from the event for those who couldn't make it.

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation Jared and Mike start out this episode listening to another episode of  The Katie Miller Pod , this one featuring Todd Blanche, who was effectively promoted to the top of the DOJ when Trump fired Pam Bondi. After that, the guys settled in for an extended chat about Mike's experience at the Southern Poverty Law Center and how...

At just 40 years old,  Stephen Miller  has cemented himself as the most influential policy mind and speechwriter of the MAGA era. Aside from Steve Bannon — and Trump himself — few figures have done more to define what MAGA means in practice. But influence is only part of the story. Miller is also one of the most polarizing figures in American politics. He has spent much of his career focused on re...

Jared comes back from a nice rest to find Mike playing the role of Ian Miles Cheong, helping him “Catch Up” on all the news that matters. “No Kings” blew out CPAC in terms of social media engagement, but it’s hard to know why — with poor women expected to have babies, Michael Knowles positioned as a symbol of machismo, and Josh Hammer crying about Tucker Carlson. The hosts then learn about Lindsey...

This episode was originally released to Patreon subscribers on Mar. 12, 2026. Jared is on vacation, so everyone is getting it in the main feed this week!  ~~ Mike and Jared took a break from Iran War coverage to look back on "Lady Ballers": a feature-length film The Daily Wire released in 2023, at the height of MAGA's efforts to stoke an anti-transgender moral panic over women's...

Things are getting stupid out there, thanks to Web3 — the grift-crazy era of crypto and the A.I. slop. Our friend  Hannah Gais  joins the show to talk about her experience at a Polymarket pop-up bar in Washington, D.C., where people were encouraged to drain their wallets betting on the news and shrug off the possibility that our government is engaging in insider betting on the platform.  We also d...

If you’re alive in America today, you’ve seen the ads — on TV, at bus stops, and on your phone. We have a gambling problem in this country, and it’s getting worse by the minute. With a rapid, billion-dollar boom in sports betting already underway, we now have to reckon with the next phase of this trend: betting on news events. Journalist and author  Danny Funt  joins  Posting Through It  for a con...

Posting Through It says farewell to two of the worst websites to have ever existed: The Daily Stormer and Infowars.  Andrew Anglin and Alex Jones have claimed their respective demises before, but something feels markedly different this time. Both are facing declining revenue and mounting debts from lawsuits and dwindling web traffic. Meanwhile, the MAGA movement that once supported them has largel...

MAGA is at an existential crossroads right now. If that sounds strange to you, you haven’t paid much attention to the movement’s struggles with antisemitism, which exploded after the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a college speaking event last September. Our guest, investigative reporter and author Art Levine, recently covered the GOP’s crisis with antisemitism in the  Washington Spectator. It’s...

Mike and Jared took a break from Iran War coverage to look back on "Lady Ballers": a feature-length film The Daily Wire released in 2023, at the height of MAGA's efforts to stoke an anti-transgender moral panic over women's sports. The guys reexamine the movie as an artifact that helped deliver the MAGA movement we see in 2026 and an example of conservatives' efforts at counter-programming against...

In this intimate, two-handed edition of  Posting Through It , Jared and Mike try to figure out whether the MAGA movement is  actually  faltering, as some news coverage would suggest.  The short answer is yes: poll numbers are sagging, the economy is slumping, influencers are turning on one another, and the rhetoric has grown so absurd that less-online working people can no longer follow it.  The m...

Well, we are at war. It doesn’t matter what MAGA calls it tomorrow — it’s war.  Jared and Mike may not be foreign policy analysts , but they know enough to recognize who else isn’t, either. The hosts wade into a Caspian Sea of bad takes in this premium episode, running through the propaganda of Zionist extremists, antisemitic extremists, and, in some cases, people so stupid you'd consider it e...

Jared and Mike dive into the growing world of contrarian punditry that seeks to downplay Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex abuse and discourage audiences from drawing conclusions about his connections to some of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people. They take a closer look at one online personality, Michael Tracey, to unpack this surreal and alarming trend. Later, they’re joined by  Ileana Ju...

In this episode, Jared and Mike rewind to Florida’s razor-thin 2018 midterms to break down a often-overlooked test run of “Stop the Steal,” years before it became synonymous with the 2021 riot at the United States Capitol. As recounts unfolded in the high-stakes Senate and governor’s races, longtime GOP operative Roger Stone and a network of MAGA activists mobilized protests in Broward County, amp...

By now, you've probably seen it: someone you follow making a joke about "maxxing" or getting "mogged" on your timeline. These terms come from a terminally online subculture spun off of the so-called "manosphere" known as "looksmaxxing." It's hyper-focused on the shallowest dimension of masculinity: physical appearance. Clavicular, the subculture's breakout star, has been popping up everywhere late...

We hope you had a good Valentine's Day last week. If not, there's always the new Free Press matchmaker offshoot from Bari Weiss — and if that doesn't work out either, come join us while we try to make sense of what is happening with A.I. Specifically, we dig into the strange situation surrounding Scott Adams' post-death A.I. talk show, which has cropped up on social media somewhat...

Grassroots organizers have increasingly used the messaging app Signal to coordinate responses to MAGA authoritarianism. It remains the best messaging app available, but the “ICE Out” protests in Minneapolis demonstrated how regime propagandists and corrupt law enforcement can attack and exploit it. Influencers entered public-facing Signal chats and ferried the information there to Kash Patel’s FBI...
