ELECTION DAY 2025: predictions, analysis, and some B*MB THREATS?! Nov 05, 2025

➡️ Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/activation-challenge

In this episode of Resistance Live, I dive into the excitement and high stakes of Election Day, breaking down key races and what they could mean for the future of progressive politics across the country. From the historic New York City mayoral race, where Zora Momani looks poised to win decisively, to the razor-thin gubernatorial contest in New Jersey and pivotal elections in Virginia, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and California, I share my optimism, concerns, and analysis of how these results could shape the road ahead.

I also take on the GOP's efforts to blame Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown, give an update on the fight over SNAP funding, and talk about why today's elections are such a defining moment for working-class Americans. With hope, urgency, and a call to courage, I remind all of us why showing up to vote—and standing firm in our values—matters now more than ever.

SCANDAL: Admiral in charge of boat b*ombing QUITS-- BUT WHY?! Oct 17, 2025

In this episode of Resistance Live, host Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin opens with breaking news about Admiral Alvin Halsey's resignation from the U.S. Navy's Southern Command amid growing scrutiny over a series of illegal boat bombings in the Caribbean. Elizabeth explains the legal and ethical stakes surrounding military compliance with unlawful orders, connecting the situation to broader patterns of forced resignations of Black officials and potential future accountability trials. She also updates viewers on a series of unfolding political crises: the disbanding of the New York Young Republicans after a neo-Nazi text scandal, Speaker Mike Johnson's ongoing refusal to swear in Representative-elect Alva, and escalating police violence against peaceful protesters at Broadview, Illinois—tying each to the broader erosion of democratic norms and state complicity in authoritarian behavior.

The broadcast then turns to national organizing and civic action. Elizabeth highlights a new ProPublica exposé on Russ Vought's extremist role in dismantling U.S. agencies and the lingering shadow of Project 2025, urging viewers to stay informed and vigilant. She closes by rallying listeners to attend the nationwide No Kings protests—encouraging joyful, creative, and secure participation while stressing the importance of digital safety and anonymity in the face of state surveillance. The episode concludes with calls to action for Power Lab (her seven-week training for emerging organizers), the free REI Activation Series, and the Resistance Live Patreon community, reinforcing her signature message: informed, collective, values-driven resistance is still possible—and urgently needed.

Elizabeth unpacks the acting SNAP director's late-night letter warning of a Nov 1 funding halt, situates it in shutdown gamesmanship, and lays out what it means for families already on the brink—alongside concrete steps you can take today (donate to local food banks; support neighbors). She also explains the legal reality on seating GVA and why Speaker Mike Johnson's stall is unprecedented, plus the Senate's defense-only maneuver to shift blame for unpaid military families. On the Voting Rights Act case, she outlines what to watch at the state level while we await a ruling and how turnout plus voter-protection organizing can counter suppression.

Elizabeth then addresses reported grand jury movement around John Bolton as part of a broader trend of weaponized prosecutions—and why we must oppose persecution even of political adversaries. Closing with a candid talk on "news as entertainment," she offers a sanity-preserving filter: follow sources that lead to action, not adrenalized despair.

In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down the Trump administration's latest threats to invoke the Insurrection Act ahead of the nationwide No Kings demonstrations—and why those threats are meant to intimidate, not reflect legal reality. She walks listeners through what the Insurrection Act actually allows, how it's been used historically, and why it's unlikely to hold up in court if invoked.

As millions prepare to take to the streets, Elizabeth offers practical guidance for staying safe, protecting your digital security, and showing up with courage and clarity. This episode is a mix of legal insight, strategic grounding, and moral encouragement for anyone determined to stand up for democracy in the face of authoritarian fear tactics.

In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin covers this chaotic holiday weekend. We zero in on why Arizona's special-election winner GVA still hasn't been seated and how Speaker Johnson's delay looks like a stall to block a House vote on the Epstein files—plus exactly how to pressure his office now. We preview this Saturday's nationwide No Kings demonstrations, what safety prep looks like, and why humor and joy can defang authoritarian optics, even as ICE escalates crackdowns in Chicago and Portland.

We unpack Maine's Senate shake-up as Janet Mills jumps in, clarify what "vindictive prosecution" dismissals really mean, and cut through propaganda around the Israel–Hamas ceasefire, a U.S. bailout for Argentina, and a Qatar base in Idaho—examples of hierarchy, not hypocrisy. We also cover the near-invisible climate disaster in Western Alaska amid a hollowed-out FEMA and close with the widening fallout of the shutdown, concrete ways to support your neighbors, and why disciplined, hopeful messaging—not doom—builds power.

Trump makes WILD THREATS against people opposed to fascism-- but can he carry them out?! Oct 10, 2025

In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin dives into the tense and fast-moving political moment following the White House's controversial "Antifa roundtable." With panic spreading across social media and Patreon feeds, the show opens by cutting through the noise — exposing how the administration's latest campaign against so-called "Antifa" is less about public safety and more about targeting the organizational and financial backbone of the Democratic Party. Drawing on new off-the-record reporting from Reuters, the host breaks down which groups are being singled out and why — from Indivisible and ActBlue to Jewish Voices for Peace and the Democratic Socialists of America — and explains what this means for free speech, organizing, and the road to 2026.

From there, the conversation turns to the growing threat of voter suppression and intimidation, with warnings that the coming midterm elections may look unlike anything in recent memory. The episode also covers the deepening budget crisis in Washington, the political fallout surrounding the unreleased Epstein files, and the growing unrest in Chicago as citizens resist ICE crackdowns. Equal parts analysis, strategy session, and rallying cry, this episode reminds listeners that awareness, preparation, and collective courage will define the months ahead.

In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin kicks off with a major political announcement: Justin Pearson, one of the Tennessee Three, has launched a primary challenge against longtime Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen. Elizabeth breaks down why this moment is such a powerful turning point—not just for Tennessee, but for the broader Democratic Party. With Pearson's deep community ties, bold leadership, and national recognition after his expulsion and reinstatement in the Tennessee legislature, this campaign signals a generational shift that's been a long time coming.

The episode also tackles escalating federal violence in Chicago, where ICE and CBP agents have shot a protestor and a priest outside the Broadview Detention Facility, even as Trump threatens to arrest Governor Pritzker and the city's mayor. Elizabeth lays out the facts, the legal implications, and the urgent need for organized resistance. She also covers breaking developments in Jim Comey's prosecution, the dangerous influence of Stephen Miller, and the media's centrist drift in the face of rising authoritarianism. This episode is a call to action and a clear-eyed assessment of where things stand—and where the fight goes next.

Trump THREATENS WAR with America in his MOST INSANE SPEECH EVER Oct 01, 2025

👉Want bonus broadcasts, deeper dives, and answers to your questions? Join me on Patreon at patreon.com/resistancelive.

In today's episode, Elizabeth breaks down Trump's alarming speech to senior military leaders, including his apparent attempts to mobilize the military against U.S. citizens and normalize unconstitutional violence. She also covers the chilling implications of Pete Hegseth's rhetoric, the Democratic Party's weak response to the looming government shutdown, and the critical role of state and local resistance—particularly in places like Oregon and Illinois. This is a raw, urgent episode that captures the escalating stakes of this political moment.

Comey INDICTED: This Is Trump's Most BRAZEN Abuse of Power-- YET Sep 26, 2025

Want bonus broadcasts, deeper dives, and answers to your questions? Join me on Patreon at patreon.com/resistancelive.

On today's Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin reacts to the late-night indictment of Jim Comey—framing it as a brazen, politicized misuse of the DOJ—and explains why even Comey skeptics should oppose it. She details the shaky case in the Eastern District of Virginia, the inexperienced U.S. attorney's missteps, a randomly assigned judge likely to scrutinize the charges, and the possible outcomes from dismissal to acquittal. Elizabeth also flags Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's unprecedented call-in of senior commanders, a mass UN walkout during Netanyahu's speech, and a new counterterror EO she warns could be used to target critics and movement orgs—paired with concrete guidance on risk, safety planning, and staying loud. She highlights alarming reports around the Everglades detention camp and missing detainees, slams chaotic new tariffs (100% on foreign-made pharmaceuticals; 50% on imported cabinets and upholstered furniture), and notes fresh Epstein document releases with more revelations likely. She closes urging self-care, continued organizing, and supporting the show via Patreon while podcast platform glitches are ironed out.

On today's episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin tackles a jam-packed news cycle: the looming government shutdown and GOP threats of mass federal layoffs, the questionable push to indict former FBI director Jim Comey, and the surreal "escalator discourse" that underscores the paranoia in Trump's camp. She highlights new polling that shows Trump's deep unpopularity on the economy, explains how the federal death penalty can apply even in states like New York, and warns about The Onion's disturbing Epstein mockumentary. Elizabeth also digs into the dangers of waiting for mainstream media to "wake up," urging listeners instead to support independent journalists and keep organizing locally, even as the regime grows weaker and more desperate.

On today's Resistance Live (Sept 24, 2025), host Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin unpacks breaking news of a deadly shooting at a Dallas ICE detention center, the landslide special election win in Arizona's 7th district, and what it means for the release of the Epstein files. She also dives into Trump's chaotic UN speech, the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel's forced removal and return to air, and shifting cracks inside the GOP base. Plus, updates on lingering "Doge" operatives in government, Kamala Harris's new book tour, and why local elections and early voting are more important than ever.

ANOTHER Corruption Scandal ROCKS the Trump Administration! Sep 23, 2025

THIS Trump RANT Shows Exactly What He Thinks About the First Amendment Sep 19, 2025

On today's Resistance Live (September 19, 2025), I break down Trump's latest authoritarian rant on Air Force One, where he claimed he could take late-night hosts off the air and strip networks of their broadcast licenses. I walk through why that's a clear First Amendment violation, why the courts have repeatedly stopped him, and why it's important we keep naming his actions for what they are.

I also dig into what happened this morning in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE violently escalated against peaceful protesters outside a detention center, and into the arrest of New York City officials who were simply trying to do oversight at another federal facility. On top of that, we talk about the budget mess in Congress, why Democratic leadership is caving instead of fighting, and why this moment is a no-brainer for shutting it all down.

I answer a listener question about how we get to the "3.5% tipping point" for real change, and why it's about long-term community organizing and belonging—not one-off protests or fear tactics. And as always, I remind you that none of us knows what's coming next, which means there is room for hope, action, and rapid change.

We had a microphone glitch the first time we went live today. A number of you went nuts on my staff as a result. If you were among them, please apologize. I rightfully got mad. I will not apologize for being mad at the mistreatment of my team over a technical glitch. (And PS. if you are commenting "ok we get it please move on," you really DON'T get it. What it takes to produce this broadcast daily is a lot of incredibly hard work and effort that is often completely thankless. My staff deserves your respect, not your dismissiveness. Please support them, by the way, on Patreon. patreon.com/ResistanceLive) #RESIST #PERSIST #IMPEACH #INDICT #IMPRISON
