An the returns keep coming in, as we wait on….Mississippi! But first, I report on the news about Stephen Miller being chosen by Donald Trump as his new chief of staff, as Susie Wiles is out. Clearly a mesage being sent, but it’s not just t...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.signorile.com Right after my SiriusXM program we did another Friday Wrap-Up, and I took some questions and comments from viewers in the chat about what went on this week—on the show and beyond—and also about where we’re headed in the election and what we might expect, next week and moving forward. There’s a free preview and you can...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.signorile.com Right after my SiriusXM program Joe Sudbay, host of “State of the States” on SiriusXM Progress, joined me to break down the week on The Friday Wrap-Up right here Substack Live. We looked at what happened in the political campaigns, and, sure, the polls, but also, the energy we’re seeing in the early vote and the misste...

A caller to my SiriusXM program claimed not to be a Trump supporter but saw no reason to vote for Democrats, asking why he should when “they’re all the same.” We’ve heard this one many times, usually from people who are MAGA but don’t want to say it. And that came out when he called the Democrats and the DSA “communists.” I had to school him on all that and more. What infuriated me was when we dis...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.signorile.com The chaos behind the scenes has reached a breaking point. White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is officially out after just five days on the job! But this rapid firing isn’t just an isolated incident—it’s part of a desperate, systemic pattern of policy reversals from a man and party in a political death spiral. I...

A quick take on what’s happening as the election comes closer and we start out this week, 28 days before the crucial mid-terms. Republicans are seeing their numbers crashing while Democrats surge. And Trump can’t fill his arenas while rallying. Thanks everyone who tuned in to the live video. Will see many of you on the radio, on SiriusXM Progres, today and throughout the week. This is a public epi...

Ron (or Rick, which I called him at first, but somehow he became Ron as callers responded him) in South Carolina called my SiriusXM program to tell us all how he left the supposed hellhole of Southern California—northern San Diego—and moved to the supposedly safe, clean and homeless-free Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. When I told him that South Carolina ranks among the states with the highest viole...

A great conversation with Heather Parton of Salon.com and Digbysblog.net , who comes on my SiriusXM program often. This is a Substack Live in collaboration with Lincoln Square Media (this discussion aired there and here on The Signorile Report this morning) which you all should subscribe to for news and interviews. Heather and I discussed the news of the of the week, from Trump scrambling dangerou...

This is one of those calls to my SiriusXM program in which the caller poses as one thing but is really another. Bill in Indiana called my show and tried to appear as if he was a centrist Democrat, arguing that democratic socialism only works on the coasts. The Signorile Report is free and reader-supported.

As many listeners know, MAGA callers to my SiriusXM program have been few and far between since the beginning of the Iran war, the upswing in inflation, and the overall plunging of Trump’s poll numbers. What used to be a Trump defense or two a day has turned into a trickle—and that’s deprived us of some much-needed laugther. Rob in Oregon, who called in yesterday, certainly betrays the reason why:...

As we head into the November elections, Donald Trump’s numbers continue to plunge, and New York Republicans in the U.S. House are sweating. One of them is Nick LaLota, a MAGA Republican who has been all in for Trump. He’s the congressman in New York’s first congressional district, in Suffolk County on Eastern Long Island. And he will face Chris Gallant , who won the Democratic primary last month a...

Joe Sudbay, host of “State of the States” on SiriusXM Progress and someone who knows Maine politics inside out, joined to talk about the terrible mess that is now the Maine Senate race—an important race that could decide if Democrats take control of the Senate this fall. After a bombshell report yesterday alleging sexual assault, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing calls to...

Well, for weeks I’ve wondered why no MAGA were calling into my SiriusXM show to defend Trump, since for years we’d usually get at least one or two calling every day to try to take me on regarding their Stable Genius. I’ve even trolled them to call recently. But except for Mark in Texas in early May (who defended Trump on immigration) and Lisa in Michigan in mid-April (who praised Trump on Iran and...

Thrilled to collaborate with Lincoln Square on this live video, with Joe Sudbay. Great conversation and some bells and whistles. Sorry to say that shortly after we taped this live—which some of you might have seen—Virginia Democrats decided not to go with the most aggressive approach we discussed to throw out the Virginia Supreme Court decision. The fact that it was in the discussion at all, howev...

“I never listen to you, but I do pass in from time to time.” That was how Mark from Texas began in a call to my SiriusXM program as I was discussing the so-called “Save Act” and the GOP’s bogus claim of “voter fraud. “ It’s the usual passive-aggressive MAGA approach. They don’t want you to think they care what you have to say—but they care about what you have to say. This one, unlike most, was pol...

Trump’s numbers just continue to plummet. An AP poll now has his approval at 33% among all Americans. A Fox News poll shows even 31% of Republicans disapprove of him, which is massive. The numbers reflect a divide in MAGA, and it has deepened after the war in Iran and events of recent weeks. Trump’s threats to “wipe out” a whole civilization, his attacks on Pope Leo, and his sharing an AI image of...

Lisa from Michigan called my SiriusXM program, claiming she accidentally was listening and didn’t know how her radio had been on the progressive channel. You have to watch and listen to this one. I did eventually go from zero to 10, and some listeners thought I should have given her more time to make her positions heard. They have a point. But honestly, I was quite nice—even called her smart—until...

Joe Sudbay, host of “State of the States” on SiriusXM Progress, where I host my won show each weekday afternoon, joined me in this Susbtack live to talk about the dizzying events of the week. The bottom line: Donald Trump is more dangerous than ever—and losing—while the GOP is in the toilet and Democrats are surging. Meanwhile, Melania’s trying to get out ahead of something while Pope Leo is telli...

John Byrne of Raw America hosted me in a great cross-posted Substack Live. Raw America is from the same folks who bring you RawStory, but now here on Substack and teaming up with Really American . We talked about my piece on the Epstein files about Steve Bannon working with Jeffrey Epstein —per their email exchanges—to take down the Catholic Church by trying to turn the book “Inside the Closet of...

Donald Trump has us knee-deep in an illegal war while his ICE thugs have killed people in the streets and are now at our airports. Meanwhile, the economy is dipping toward recession under the weight of his tariffs and his war. It’s time, once again, to march! Protest always brings enormous attention to the issues, galvanizes more people, and helps turn people out in upcoming elections. Ezra Levin,...

Great conversation with Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents California’s 37th District in the great city of Los Angeles.

Independent journalist Jonathan Larsen joined me on my SiriusXM program to discuss how the war against Iran is being promoted by commanders to American troops as a full on Holy War—a crusade—which he wrote about on his Substack yesterday. He spoke to an advocacy group receiving complaints from members of the military, and he saw some of the emails complaining about statements to troops pulled righ...

The terrific Susan J. Demas, longtime journalist and executive editor of Lincoln Square, a great news site here on Substack with a lot of names you’ll know, interviewed me for Lincoln Square, and I’m cross-posting here for you all to watch. We got into Trump’s attack on the Pride flag, Esptein files and lots more! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or ge...

“My faith is what drives to veto anti-LGBTQ laws.” It’s great to hear that from a red state governor. Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, who joined me in studio for my SiriusXM program, has won statewide twice as governor (last re-elected in 2023) and previously as attorney general—a Democrat in a state that voted for Donald Trump by 31 points in 2024. But he hasn’t done it by being a centrist on issu...
