What's The Plan? with Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin

The biggest super PAC in the country isn't oil and gas, pharma, or big tobacco. It's crypto. The industry is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy politicians and ram through legislation nobody asked for. So today we're doing a deep dive: what crypto actually is, how it bought its way into Washington, and how we organize to beat it – with actor, author, and documentary filmmaker Ben McKe...

Then we take your questions on election sabotage, immigrant defense, and what the plan actually is....

We start by celebrating Randy Villegas's triumph in the California primary — another step forward in the slow but steady transformation of the Democratic Party into a winning opposition.

We talk about how the fight got to this point and what to expect in the...
