Don Lemon was arrested this morning. So now Trump is arresting journalists. And people are suddenly screaming Trump is a fascist. Uh…where ya been…he’s using our Justice Dept to go after his political enemies, he’s disappearing brown & black people…Trump had been a fascist from day one. Hosted on Acast.

When you step back and think about what’s going on and take a look at the big picture, the truth is that the federal government has been occupying the city of Minneapolis. Almost 4,000 federal agents have descended upon an American city. And the people of that city have fought back. That’s what’s been going on. Hosted on Acast.

I saw some talking head yesterday blaming Stephen Miller for what ICE is doing. She said Miller is evil and belongs in jail for what he’s done. Maybe, but that talking head was afraid to say the same damn thing about the person who hired Stephen Miller. He is the evil one who belongs in jail. Hosted on Acast.

After the public execution of Alex Pretti, the administration is blaming the optics, the tactics, the messaging, Bovino’s head just rolled, now they may have Noem’s head roll as well, but none of that is to blame for what’s happening on the streets of America. Donald Trump is to blame. He unleashed this lawless, un-American cruelty. He and his party must pay the price. Their heads must roll. Hoste...

I’m on the road, the connection isn’t great, but I couldn’t stay quiet after what happened in Minneapolis, because an innocent American was killed and our government’s response should scare the hell out of all of us. This episode is about why I believe fascism is no longer a warning but a reality, why ICE must be abolished, and why the only way out of this moment is resistance and real, face-to-fa...

I’m on the road this week. In Columbus, Ohio. Getting ready to have a conversation Saturday with Americans with very different points of view. But tonight, we talked about a bunch of things - from Trump should be in jail to Joe needs to try gummies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down Sean Prophet, who grew up in a large religious cult that became a doomsday cult. His experience gives him an amazing perspective on what’s going on today with Trump and MAGA. His book “My Cult, Your Cult” came out last year. Fascinating conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with writer Ellie Leonard, who’s done such great work this past year bringing important aspects of the Epstein scandal to light. We discussed the Michael Cohen fall out, where the Epstein case is headed, and what most concerns Ellie about what we still don’t know. Wonderful conversation. Have a listen Hosted on Acast.

One year ago today, the very thing our Founders feared became President. And it’s been every bit as horrible as was to be expected. But even on top of every cruel, corrupt, idiotic, lawless, and fascist thing he’s done, he also singlehandedly fucked up the economy. He’s even messed that up. So when it comes to the future of democracy or the price of eggs, things are much worse a year later. Hosted...

The first European leader who publicly stands up to Trump, who publicly tells him to fuck off, who - literally or figuratively - punches him in the face will be an international hero. And will be a hero in America. And beloved around the world. We need that to happen. For the sake of the world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sat down with long time Democratic thought leader & strategist Mike Nellis to review the political impact these masked federal thugs on our streets is having on public opinion. Hint: the American people are generally horrified by what they’re seeing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If I were a governor right now, I’d put the National Guard on the streets to protect my constituents against these masked federal thugs. And if I were back in Congress right now, I’d vote to shut the government down until these masked federal thugs are off our streets. Come on my fellow Democrats, fascism is here. These are unprecedented times. They call for unprecedented actions. Hosted on Acast....

During the 2024 campaign, I would tell everyone how uniquely dangerous Trump is. That, if elected, he’ll be a fascist and try to turn America into a fascist dystopia. And people laughed, said it couldn’t happen here, and “but eggs are too expensive” or “Biden is too old” or whatever. And they voted for Trump. Well, it’s happening here. I hope they get it now.

Trump wants violence. He always has. Because he believes it helps him politically. So why no guardrails on ICE? Because Trump wants ICE to push the American people into getting violent. So he’s encouraging ICE to be as cruel as possible. That’s his plan. Also…most Americans think both parties suck. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Donald Trump sicked the Justice Department on the Fed chair because the baby in the White House wants lower interest rates. ICE doubles down on their cruelty, and…could someone let me know if they find Congress? That branch of government has been missing for almost a year. Hosted on Acast.

2026 must be the year of the resistance. With a mad, dangerous king in the White House, this must be the year we stop reacting to everything he does, but instead lead the charge by protesting, boycotting, informing, organizing, and voting. My conversation with long time Democrat Edwin Eisendrath. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump wants there to be violence, chaos and death on our streets. Because he believes it will help him politically. Pretty astounding thing to say about an American president, huh? But it’s true. He wanted Jan 6th to be violent because he wanted the election overturned. He wants violence on our streets in 2026 because he thinks it’ll help him win the midterms. Don’t give it to him.

I confess to being surprised that so many people and so many leaders here and around the world STILL haven’t accepted the truth about Donald Trump. After all these years, so many people still don’t want to acknowledge who Donald Trump is. I know it’s a scary truth, but people better accept it. Because he needs to be stopped. Hosted on Acast.

Five years ago today, our Capitol was attacked. Not by foreign armies. By American citizens. In a violent attempt to overthrow an American election. These Americans were led and inspired by the lies of a traitor to this country. That traitor, that enemy of democracy, is back in power 5yrs later. We will never be the same. Hosted on Acast.

Invading Venezuela and kidnapping its leader was illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral. Trump had no legal authority to do it. It was just wrong. But every day for the past ten yrs, Trump has done illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral things. And we’ve NEVER held him accountable for any of it. So who’s to blame him for thinking he can do whatever he wants? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...
