MOMocrats

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...

The Trump administration is like an arsonist in a 100-mph Santa Ana wind, starting fires and spreading them in every direction. This makes focusing on any one disaster for more than a day very difficult - which is, of course, the point.  This week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills try to get a handle on CE and CPB, and would they be coming for Haitians in Springfield,...

The last time Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills chatted, they criticized the seven House Democrats who helped pass the budget bill (when we should have held out for concessions that would claw back ICE funding).  That was one week ago. It feels like a month. The MOMocrats spent the hour talking about ICE’s execution of Alex Pretti, the heroism of Minneapolis, and how it is shapin...

Dear Leader pulled a TACO in Davos, putting an end to speculation over the US invading Greenland - at least, for now. And Karoli today introduced us all to her daughter’s adorable dog, Tako - who isn’t scary at all. Trump’s speech before world leaders yesterday was bonkers - even for him. And as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made clear this weekend, the predictable Western world order that c...

The MOMocrats are still angry over what happened to Renee Good and the occupation of Minneapolis. And Gilmar Abrego Garcia. And every US resident who was sent to CECOT. And Venezuela. And no healthcare subsidies… Inflation… threats to Greenland… kowtowing to Putin… the Pentagon committing war crimes… Election denial and maneuvers to rig the next one. And the administration’s cover-up of 99% of wha...

The vampires behind Project 2025 kept on going during the holidays: releasing Jack Smith’s testimony on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, “finding” at least one million more Epstein documents (that they have not released), and kidnapping arresting the leader of Venezuela. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills already planned to have their first live chat of the year today, a...

This week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills mourned the loss of actor/filmmaker/activist Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle. The circumstances of their deaths - and the reaction of our narcissist-in-chief - are still shocking.  Speaking of Trump, it was an easy segue to whatever-the-eff that address of his was last night.  The MOMocrats also talked about the discharge p...

The news this week was DARK. But points of light remain.  Just before the MOMocrats went live on Wednesday, we learned that the United States had seized a Venezuelan oil tanker, which - as Karoli points out - is either piracy… or an act of war. Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discussed  last week’s National Security Statement (that reads like a Stephen Miller/Vladimir Puti...

MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about the extrajudicial killings of people on boats in the Caribbean and the new details make it very clear that the US -under the leadership of Trump and Hegseth - is committing war crimes. Is this what prompted those Democratic lawmakers to make that “Don’t Give Up the Ship” video? The bipartisan disgust at this story is just the...

Karoli, Aliza, and Donna talked about yesterday’s stunning passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act - and the very bad, terrible, no good week experienced by the President.  Also on today’s agenda were the agony of buying healthcare insurance without expanded subsidies, “the affordability,” Lindsey Halligan’s absolute bungling of the Comey indictment, and more.
