    Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos and Civiqs Jan 27, 2022
    Show notes

    Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring and Markos Moulitsas, Founder of DailyKos and Civiqs and Host of podcast “The Brief,” explains how it puts us in danger of a 7-2 conservative majority. But one of the upsides to Justice Beyer exiting is the prospect of a new judge, and Mark and Markos consider the possible replacement: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (do you know how she’s connected to former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan?). New and old justices aside, how will this event play a role in the midterm elections, and how might the role of some moderate Republicans end up helping Democrats this year?

    Attorney Gerald Griggs of Atlanta NAACP Jan 25, 2022
    Show notes

    Attorney Gerald Griggs is the Vice President of the Atlanta NAACP and he has some new strategy for Democrats to consider in regards to protecting our voting rights and democracy-at-large. The general consensus has been that President Biden can’t do anything through executive order to stop the dismantling of our right to vote–but Attorney Griggs says that’s not necessarily the case and he breaks it down it today’s episode.

    Eric Boehlert, Publisher of Pressrun.media, is back for another round of cutting through the media’s willful ignorance in covering our government. Today he’s cracking into their coverage of last Wednesday’s loss in the fight for voting rights and how Republicans manage to escape without any blame for attempting to topple democracy. He’s also analyzing the Supreme Court’s recent moves and how they directly relate to Republican policy (and what can be gleaned from that).

    Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm Jan 14, 2022
    Show notes

    Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm is back on MIP for an exciting new announcement from the Biden administration: they are adding renewable clean energy that will both create jobs and lowers the cost. As Secretary Granholm explains, adding renewable energies onto the grid is a huge benefit–but they’re also working to expand grid capabilities that will allow for communities to continuously access that energy and not go dark in stormy weather (think Texas and Louisiana). And as for the jobs this will add, they’re promising higher paying union positions.
