Breaking!! Supreme Court In Chaos Over Ginni Thomas Texts+ A Conversation With Rick Wilson
Jan 21, 2026
Show notes
Last week’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Kentanji Brown Jackson proved that the GOP are a bunch of racist goons. But if that wasn’t enough, the Washington Post revealed texts from Ginni Thomas, (wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas), sent to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows that were nothing short of insane; invoking Jesus Christ himself to overturn the election and threatening that “the Biden Crime Family would be sent to barges off Gitmo.” Later Rick Wilson joins to diagnose the sickness at the heart of the MAGA era GOP.

Can the War in Ukraine Save President Biden + A Conversation with Miles Taylor

Miles Taylor joins Michael to discuss how it all breaks down politically.
How Russia Uses Trump to Push Putin’s Propaganda + A Conversation with Nandini Jammi
Jan 18, 2026
Show notes
Russia did the unthinkable this week by invading Ukraine; creating the gravest crisis in Europe since the second world war. The GOP wants you to believe it happened because Joe Biden is weak. The reality is far more complicated and has more to do with decades of Russian anger over a 1990 promise from Germany. Then there’s the Trump factor. The former president and now the GOP keeps pushing Putin’s propaganda. Later, Nandini Jammi joins Mea Culpa to discuss the disinformation economy and how this stuff gets monetized across the right wing media machine.
