MOMocrats

This was another week where we had to face A plummeting economy Trump’s ongoing war of choice in Iran Pentagon Pete’s hollowing out of military experts The United States aligning itself more closely with Russia ICE’s stealth siege of communities throughout the country the Supreme Court’s complicity in Trump’s relentless attack on our voting rights Revelations about a horrific gang rape and cover-u...

Ten years of living with Trump's blatant corruption, dictator hero worship, lawlessness, election threats, and trampling on our rights is exhausting. But the rise of the oligarchy that Republican policies have enabled is killing our democracy. MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills are enraged at the way California Attorney General Rob Bonta caved in this week's settlement of the laws...

MOMocrats Aliza Worthington and Donna Schwartz Mills have been thinking of Star Trek, which anticipated a future of voice-activated computers, bloodless non-invasive surgeries, and diverse, inter-galactic cooperation. What we've actually got is an AI industry that is suddenly calling for some kind of global governmental safety guidelines... and a buffoonish leader who thinks the solution to t...

Trump 2.0 was already everything everywhere at once. But now the hits are coming faster. We’ve got election rigging on multiple fronts, right out in the open. We’ve got a Middle East quagmire that is depleting our defenses (despite the military’s trillion dollar budget). We’ve got the Interior Department robbing our beautiful National Parks in order to fund the President’s fugly construction proje...

Natalie Harp (a/k/a Trump's "Human Printer") has been EVERYWHERE this week, thanks to a mass MAGA freakout over a Jon Ossoff campaign speech last weekend. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills dish about Natalie and the national security problems she represents (especially during the year she worked in the White House without vetting).  Also on the agenda thi...

Trump’s losing streak includes all the attempts to prove election fraud in 2020, take over the elections in 2026, his tariffs, bogus cases against protesters and people who touched the water of the reflecting pool, put his name on the Kennedy Center, and his war of choice in Iran. And the fact that he keeps on fighting the same fight over and over again has made reading the news feel like Groundho...

The Trump era news cycles are jam packed with outrages, and this was a particularly packed week. There were so many stories related to Trump’s greed and corruption that you could almost see a pattern, with less obvious crimes lurking beneath each broad assault.  Like an onion. Or Russian nesting dolls.  MOMocrats Aliza Worthington and Donna Schwartz Mills also talked about the Blanche nomination a...

In an ideal world, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills might spend an hour talking about important things like the war in Iran, climate change and the massive fires in Canada and Europe , Open AI’s rogue agent that escaped its experimental sandbox and hacked several other companies , the new reading curriculum adopted by the state of Texas. But the world we live in right...

It’s surprising how little has changed since the last time MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talked politics together (other than the passing of Lindsey Graham). We are still mired in Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran, which appears to be escalating again, as the Pentagon burns through its trillion dollar budget. And Todd Blanche still doesn't have the votes he...

Once again, Donald Trump' embarrassed the United States on the world stage at the NATO summit, by speaking incoherently, mistaking Volodymyr Zelensky for "President Putin," and making up entire nations. But this week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills had the most to say about the Senate race in Maine, after Politico published the final red flag that brok...

This week, MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills talked about  Trump’s bonkers decision to hold the bipartisan bill hostage in order to get his voter-restriction SAVE Act passed The fact that the SAVE Act will never be passed “Algaegate“ The US Postal Service’s willingness to help Trump restrict voting ( a Federal judge has weighed in on that today ) Tuesday’s primaries ABC’s campaign to enlis...

Trump's ill-advised, badly executed Iran War is ending just as disastrously as it began. He's determined to block a Blue Wave election by cheating in every way imaginable. The grifting and corruption of his regime and its billionaire supporters is on an astronomical scale.  And along came Michelle and Barack Obama to remind us all of what this nation once was - and can become again. MOMo...

On Tuesday, we learned just how much the Administration tried to keep that information under wraps , especially as it related to Donald Trump. (The URL above is a gift link, in case any of you still have not been able to read the whole thing). MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discuss that monstrosity on the White House south lawn, midterm elections and trumped-up...

 MOMocrats Aliza and Karoli went at it alone this week while Donna cavorted in Paris on her birthday.   From the ballroom to the newly announced $1.776 Billion-with-a-B slush fund, it seems like this administration just tosses so many balls in the air it's impossible to catch them.  But keep your eyes on the prize and stay alert, because we are actually winning some of these battles and Novem...

Donald Trump brought along a whole slew of oligarchs (and his grifting family) for his meeting with Xi Jinping in China this week. He says he made “fantastic trade deals.” (For whom, we wonder.) But the Strait of Hormuz is still closed with no end in sight to Trump’s Iran debacle - and inflation continues to spike.  The Chinese understand that we are a global superpower in decline. Tim Snyder coin...

On Monday, the United States launched “Project Freedom” in the Strait of Hormuz. On Tuesday, it was all over.  We’re not any closer to ending Donald Trump’s foolhardy war against Iran. But the S&P 500 is up 11% since the bombs started dropping, and that’s really what it’s all about, right? This week MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discuss the new price tag fo...

The regime got a huge boost this week from the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Callais v Landry , which put the final nail in the coffin of the Voting Rights Act.  MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discuss the Democrats’ win over DHS funding, King Charles' visit, Pete Hegseth’s testimony to Congress, the White House Correspondence Dinner, Trump’s obsession wit...

Hungary's election on Sunday was a political earthquake felt around the world. “Everybody should really pay attention to this because it’s huge,” Karoli says in this week’s podcast. “But also it is a lesson in how one disgruntled guy who used to be a member of the party that Orban was in, decided to start his own party and go all over the country and to all the farmhouses and all the rural ar...

MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills all needed to talk out their feelings of fear, disgust, and absolute rage over Donald Trump’s and Pete Hegseth’s war crimes (and yes, a credible threat to commit genocide - as the ones Trump issued this week - is a violation of both US and international law). There are things we can do. And - aside from the threat of Armageddon - there...

The occasion of Pam Bondi's firing gave MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills the fodder for a discussion that was a little more light-hearted than usual - even though they are bracing themselves for a replacement at DOJ who will be even worse (because after 10 years of this nightmare, they know that is how the Trump administration rolls). Also on this week's agen...

Trump’s poll numbers are plummeting further as his war of choice in Iran supercharges oil prices into the stratosphere. The global economy will soon be suffering from higher food prices, scarcer pharmaceuticals, and more expensive manufactured products like semi-conductors. And yet, there are some who are winning in this scenario:  The mysterious traders who seem to know exactly when a Trump annou...

MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about Trump's war in Iran, and his absolute unfitness for office (the war will be over when he feels it in his bones???). They talked about the MAGA split over the war, and counterterrorism chief Joe Kent’s resignation.  There was a lot of activity in the Senate on Wednesday, and so the trio had quite a bit to say about Rand P...

Note that the MOMocrats dropped this week's first F-bomb in the intro to this week's podcast. That's just how frustrated Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills are feeling with Donald Trump's burgeoning Middle East quagmire - which he started without a purpose, a goal, or any kind of exit plan. As for the Democrats in Congress: they are mostly holding fast on refus...

So now the United States is at war with Iran, for reasons (which keep on changing). A war that seems to have been slapped together at the last minute, because there appears to have been no coordination with DHS (which is still focused on waging war here on our own people) or the State Department (which got gutted by DOGE last year). A war that is spilling out into the entire region, raising Trump’...

It feels to the MOMocrats as if the news cycle itself has been weaponized against us. Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills were prepared this week to talk about DHS/ICE funding, more Epstein bombshells, Pam Bondi's appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, tariffs, voting rights, and the economy.  Any ONE of those topics would deserve an hour of discussion. This week&apo...
