    Can A “Morality Coalition” Succeed Against Trump? May 22, 2025
    Show notes

    Guest: Reverend Doctor William J. Barber II, pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church, Disciples of Christ in Goldsboro, North Carolina, professor at Yale Divinity School, and founder of the Forward Together Moral Movement.

    Here’s How the GOP Cuts Medicaid May 20, 2025
    Show notes

    In a return to a classic party policy goal, Republicans want to add “work requirements” to Medicaid to offset costs in Trump’s “one big beautiful bill.” Work requirements for health insurance have been tried before, on the state level, and the end result is a lot of people—including working people—losing their health insurance.

    Guest: Leo Cuello, research professor at the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy’s Center for Children and Families and former Health Policy Director of the National Health Law Program.

    Is Immigration Still Trump’s Strongest Issue? May 19, 2025
    Show notes

    Guests:

    Adrian Carrasquillo, author of the Huddled Masses newsletter from The Bulwark

    Primitiva Hernandez, executive director of 805Undocufund, a central California non-profit providing legal and financial assistance to immigrants

    Show notes

    Aging equipment and chronically understaffed air traffic control have made flying in and out of Newark’s Liberty International Airport a delay-snarled mess. And the problems there aren’t entirely unique. Will Congress and the Trump administration be the ones to fix it?

    Show notes

    Between the crypto ventures, real estate deals, and a gift-wrapped tricked-out 747, it feels like Donald Trump is more open-for-business than ever this term. And since no one seems able or willing to stop him, why wouldn’t he be?

    Show notes

    Ahead of his first trip to the region, Donald Trump’s policies toward the Middle East have been full of surprises.

    Guest: Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East correspondent for the Economist.

    David Hogg Wants Democratic Politicians to Be Afraid May 13, 2025
    Show notes

    What if the Democratic Party’s problem isn’t just messaging—it’s the Democrats themselves, and “seniority politics” that never call incumbents to account? Is it time for a Tea Party-style cleaning-of-the-house?
