S2 Ep24: Our Children Can't Breathe Apr 02, 2018

Show notes

Devon and Drexel discuss Trump's Twitter temper tantrum about DACA and immigration policy and how he doesn't seem to understand that the two aren't actually connected. They also dive into the EPA's push to roll back CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) regulations to allow auto makers to produce less efficient cars. Devon points out that deregulation is at the root about who pollution harms the most - children in poor communities of color - and why the national rhetoric never seems to turn to that side of these very important EPA decisions.

S2 Ep23: "Because Men Are Fucking Terrible" f/ Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day & Yetide Badaki Mar 29, 2018

Show notes

Devon had the pleasure to attend an event in support of Hellion Jess Phoenix (CA-25) this week. She sat down with Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, and Yetide Badaki to discuss why they support Jess, why more women should run, and the importance of scientists in politics. Devon also discusses the census and why this issue makes clear the link between scientific thinking and law making. There are also more interviews from Jess' event on our Patreon.

Show notes

Devon and Drexel discuss Stormy Daniels' unique position in going after Trump personally, and how the firing of Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe is related to Mueller subpoening the Trump Organization for all records related to Russia.

S2 Ep19: Trump Believes in Climate Change feat. Jess Phoenix Mar 16, 2018

Show notes

Devon sits down with Jess Phoenix, who is running for congress in California's 25th district. They discuss environmental policy, gun violence and the lie that Donald Trump and the GOP love to tell: that they don't believe in climate change. Jess Phoenix, a geologist, assures us that they do; they just want the money from special interest groups that have a stake in denying important enviormental protections.

S2 Ep18: Dumped by a Post-It Note Mar 14, 2018

Show notes

Devon and Drexel discuss Trump's unceremonious Twitter firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and why that is so dangerous for democracy. They also discuss the unfolding results of the special election in PA-18. We know now that Democrat Conor Lamb officially won the traditional Republican stronghold, and they discuss his strategy in his campaign as well as why a district that went for Trump by more than 20 points flipped blue just 18 months after the presidential election.
