We're visiting America in the ICU on her 249th birthday, hoping the old girl still has some fight left in her.

A sad day as Trump's disastrous bill passes the House. We are still fighting.

This week, we explore the dark matter of American politics - that invisible force that explains why so many voters can't see what's right in front of them. Spoiler alert: it's not really dark at all.

We examine the original No Kings manifesto and ask some pointed questions about which "dark matter" has trained so many Americans not to recognize real threats.

This isn't the time for half measures and tepid language. We're channeling some serious energy for what these times call for.

Episode 914 recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance for the week of July 4th, 2025 - Not safe for work

We had severe technical difficulties with our audio with Charlie Pierce (thanks for your time, Charlie!) so that interview had to be scrapped.

But the show must go on! So this evening we recorded a podcast just the two of us.

Bluegal's opinion of Republicans has changed.
