President Trump made his case for war with Iran during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday. He said we “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capability in strikes last summer, but we need to go back to obliterate it again, or they’ll shoot a missile at the US (it doesn’t make sense). In any case, the US has assembled its largest strike force in the Middle East since the build-up to the Iraq war.

John Davidson has tourettes, specifically “coprolalia,” a kind of vocal tic that causes a person to compulsively say socially inappropriate things. His condition exploded into public consciousness, first with a movie based on John Davidson’s life, and then again when John shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA movie awards. The unfortunate incident has elicited outrage from defenders of racial justice and the disabled community alike. Many folks online are putting the blame in the wrong place (and there is a place to put it). We can hold understanding for disabilities AND acknowledge the harm this language causes the Black community. Our guest, Jumaane D. Williams, was the first person with tourettes to hold public office. He has served as Public Advocate since 2019, and as Council Member for the 45th District in Brooklyn beginning in 2010. He has passed more legislation than all previous Public Advocates combined. Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert.

On episode 120 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest co-host Reecie Colbert. Reecie Colbert hosts The Reecie Colbert Show on Sirius XM, a live call-in talk show that focuses on politics and culture. Reecie is a renowned political strategist, a best-selling author, and a frequent guest on cable networks. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Vinicius Jr. Deals with Racism on the Field – Newsom Tries to Relate, Says He Scored 960 on the SATs – Man with Tourrettes yells “N*gger” at BAFTA Awards Ceremony – Idaho Town Removes Juneteenth, Reinstates Columbus Day – AAMA President Calls for Flags to be Flown at Half Mast for Rev Jackson – Al Green Explains His Sign at Trump’s SOTU President Trump delivered a LONG State of the Union address on Tuesday night, the longest in at least 60 years. Many Democrats boycotted the event, which Trump used to tell lies and exaggerate his 2nd term “accomplishments.” He sparred on the House floor with Reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, ripped off an idea from Democrats to create “Trump accounts,” and claimed that he was going to replace the Federal income tax.

Pastor Jamal Bryant had a first for his church last Valentines day, a joint sermon with his wife, Karri Bryant. Their advice from the stage is as hilarious as it is insightful; our hosts listen to clips and reflect on the sermon with the pastor himself, who shares what he’s learned about love in recent years, particularly after a certain dress-related controversy… Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this segment from episode #119 that aired on 02-19-26 If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you!

On episode 119 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers team up with guest-host Dr. Reverend Jamal Bryant. Pastor Bryant held a groundbreaking joint sermon recently with his wife, Karri Bryant, for Valentines day. They cracked jokes and shared their wisdom for how to make a relationship last, which we’ll pass on to you. Then Pastor Bryant holds space for us as we remember another reverend, Jesse Jackson, who passed away Tuesday, February 17th. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Early voting sites are being removed from North Carolina Universities, disenfranchising Black students. The SAVE Act heads to the Senate, the “Voter ID Law” threatens voting rights. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says DHS Will Help “Secure” Elections. The Olympic Village has run out of the 10,000 condoms it supples to athletes. Five Black surgeons lead the trauma unit at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital for the first time. We dedicate the majority of our show today to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson had a knack for showing up wherever Black folks were organizing; he showed up for our hosts multiple times to offer his support and mentorship. We’ll hear their personal stories about the reverend and more from his fabled life: Reverend Jackson grew up in poverty before rising through the church to carry on the work of MLK Jr., his mentor. He ran for president in the 80’s (which set the stage for Obama), championed progressive causes that were far ahead of his time, and created broad political alliances that last to this day. His impact cannot be overstated. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

On episode 118 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Kevin Ortega-Rojas. You may know Kevin from his prolific social media presence, breaking news for more than half a million followers. He’s a writer, commentator, and host of HeresWhyKevin. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Megyn Kelly’s Bad Bunny rant on Piers Morgan – Kid Rock calls JZ was a “DEI Hire” – DHS and ICE chiefs (refuse to) answer questions at a Congressional Hearing – Trump’s Tariffs cost American families $1,000+ in 2025 – Congress reviews unredacted Epstein Files and Ghilaine Maxwell testifies. President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism.

Aaron McIntire recaps a week where the White House ramps up economic messaging, with President Trump forecasting explosive GDP growth under his anticipated Federal Reserve pick and Secretary Doug Burgum highlighting falling energy prices and broad prosperity gains. A fresh Gallup poll shows Americans growing more optimistic about economic growth and the stock market in the coming months. CBS reports on ICE arrests spark debate, but the data excludes key non-violent crimes like drug trafficking and other vile crimes. Another potential government shutdown looms over DHS funding, with Sen. John Fetterman admitting confusion over his party's priorities. Plus, viewership success for the TP USA alternative halftime show, the New York Times walking back marijuana legalization support, and Catherine Herridge detailing CBS suppression of Hunter Biden laptop stories.   A.M.

What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade, Reverend Schenck has since come to regret his involvement with the religious right, which he describes as a “cult.” He now calls himself a “dissenting Evangelical organizer.” Our hosts ask the reverend what brought him around.

It’s widely believed that Bad Bunny will stage an anti-ICE protest during his halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl. The question is, how far will he go–will the performance itself be a protest, and what could that look like?

This morning, we're calling out Donald Trump for a vile, racist Truth Social post depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. It's just the latest example of Trump's racism being openly displayed and disturbingly accepted by his supporters. We're asking the obvious questions, will any Republicans denounce this? Will anyone finally draw a line and say this is unacceptable? And is this just another calculated distraction from what Trump really doesn't want you focusing on, the Epstein files and his plummeting approval ratings? Don is joined by DL Hughley, Derrick Johnson, Charles Blow, and Bakari Sellers to break it all down.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Zohran Mamdani causing an outrage after he chose to visit a criminal in the hospital after NYPD shot him after charging an officer with a knife; Donald Trump telling NBC News' Tom Llamas his surprising plan for how he will use ICE raids in blue cities and states going forward; "The Five's" Greg Gutfeld getting into a shouting match with Jessica Tarlov over her attempt to distort the truth about ICE raids in Minneapolis and the tragic shooting deaths by ICE agents; Scott Jennings correcting the facts of CNN's Bakari Sellers and Ana Navarro over who is actually being deported by ICE; "The View's" Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin turning on Bill Gates for his attempt to dismiss the recent accusations against him from the latest Jeffrey Epstein email dump; CNN's Harry Enten giving a brutal wake up call to Chuck Schumer over which racial groups support the SAVE Act to require voter ID; and much more.

Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania.

On episode 115 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest host, Don Lemon. Conservatives (including recent convert Nicki Minaj) are calling for Don’s arrest after he covered a protest that occurred inside of a church. We’ll talk with him about the incident and so much more… FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Trump gives a deranged Greenland speech at Davos. – Is Donald Trump Okay? Recent statements call his mental acuity into question. – Minnesota Police Officers say they are NOT safe with ICE – Why is the NCAA Football Championship team SO Old? – Pro Palestine: NFL Player Fined – Nicki Minaj Calls for the Arrest of Don Lemon – How Dems Expect Us to React When They Cuss Is it OK to protest inside of a church? That’s exactly what happened earlier this week when protestors in St. Paul disrupted a church service. The pastor for the church is a field director for the local ICE office. Don Lemon covered this protest as a journalist and rightwing media is now calling him a criminal for it. That’s obviously bull sh*t but do WE think it’s OK to protest at church?? Our hosts debate… 24 members of Congress are 80 or older, and many of them are running for re-election. We’ve seen politicians on both sides of the aisle (Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, to name a few) who continue to work and hold senior positions when it’s CLEAR they are no longer fit. Should there be an age limit for Congress? How to we foster and recruit youth?

On this MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are STUNNED by what Fed Chair Jerome Powell did. The chair of the Federal Reserve, which sets our nationwide interest rates, is under investigation by the Trump administration. A stalwart bureaucrat, Jerome Powell made a rare public statement about the investigation, claiming that it’s politically motivated, and an attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve. Let’s back it up, what does the Federal Reserve do again? Why is their independence important, and why are our hosts so SHOCKED by Jerome Powell’s statement?

Our hosts react and go through some of the protests and clashes with law enforcement in Minneapolis over the last week. We’re looking at sheriffs, mayors, DA’s–can anyone hold the new American Gestapo to account?? The Trump administration’s official social media accounts have been posting white supremacist and nazi slogans. At the same time, Trump’s EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) has encouraged specifically white males to file for employment discrimination.

A special look at President Biden's first State of the Union Address. Plus, America's two demon hecklers, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert try to sabotage Biden's speech but wind up repulsing the nation. Dems plan to target the duo in the run up to the midterms and highlight the GOPs growing disarray. Latter Bakari Sellers joins Mea Culpa to grade the Biden Administration. 

For the MiniPod this week, our hosts respond to one of your questions: what would America look like if Obama was never president? Policies aside–Obama was such a powerful symbol for Black America. His presidency also inspired a powerful backlash. Our hosts discuss the legacy of Obama and the symbolism of Obama as they ask: was it worth it?

On episode 113 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers try out a new rapid fire format. We heard y’all want us to get to more topics, well, here we go: For Your Situational Awareness Pastor Jamal Bryant catches heat for his wife’s dress? MAGA-coded CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil bombs on his first day. Incumbent Tim Walz Drops Out of the Minnesota governor race. Trump accidentally gives Democrats their best ad for the midterms. War in Venezuela? What’s it really about? What the heck is happening with Venezuela?? Trump has declared that the United States is going to control the country. Whose interests does this supposed occupation serve, how did we reach this point, and where could we be headed? Random as they may seem, there is a throughline through all the global conflicts the US gets involved in… Is it AI-generated? Our hosts play a game to see if they can detect which video is AI. AI content and devices in general had our families in a chokehold this holiday season, especially our elders. How about you? Let us know in the comments!

On episode 111 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers share their “Grinches Who Stole B*tches” of 2025.

On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers talk about holding our elected leaders accountable AND the moments when we hold our leaders to impossible standards. We saw this on flagrant display with some of the critiques of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett after she announced her run for senate.

On episode 110 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers reflect on the life of famous Hollywood producer, director, actor, Rob Reiner. Tiffany and Andrew knew Rob, and all of our hosts were affected by his work ever since his first role as Meathead in All In The Family. We’re going to tell some Rob stories, and yes, the shocking comments that Trump made about Rob and his wife Michelle after they were found dead in their homes, with their son arrested on suspicion of their murder. How do the conservative Christians square this stunning lack of empathy? The coach of the Michigan University football team, Sherrone Moore, was fired recently for having a relationship with a subordinate. After he was fired, he had a pretty serious crash-out that landed him in jail. Our hosts share some of their most epic crash outs and discuss whether Moore’s affair partner should also face consequences from their employer. The shooting at Brown University last week left two dead, nine wounded, and the entire student body rattled. This one hit close to home; Angela’s godson, Efe Elaiho, is a freshman at Brown and was nearby the shooting. We’ll get a firsthand perspective on what it’s like to live through an event like this, the misinformation that flies around in the moments after, and what it’s like going through a school system where shootings have become tragically common. We’re trying to be better about getting to your questions and comments y’all, and we will get to one about patriotism today!

On this week’s SoloPod, Angela Rye is joined by Damario Solomon-Simmons to discuss Mother Fletcher’s passing. Viola “Mother” Fletcher was one of the last survivors of the Tulsa Massacre and (with Damario’s help) a powerful advocate for reparations. Damario walks us through the ongoing fight for reparations PLUS a call to action for your holiday season: capture your families oral histories. We’ll get some tips on how to be intentional about asking your elders about their past. You can pre-order Damario’s debut book, Redeem A Nation, where books are sold. Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons is a civil and human rights attorney, movement strategist, and author. He is the Founder and President of Justice for Greenwood and serves as legal counsel for the last known living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. His work prompted the first-ever U.S. Department of Justice review of the massacre, helped secure the City of Tulsa’s $105 million Greenwood Trust, and played a key role in restoring citizenship rights to Black Creek Indians.

On episode 109 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers discuss Jasmine Crockett’s campaign launch, and bring on one of our favorite guests: Elie Mystal. Racial profiling, birthright citizenship, executive power, and campaign finance are all up for judgement by the US Supreme Court. There’s no one better to walk us through SCOTUS’s recent and upcoming decisions than the Justice Correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal. Elie on Executive Power: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/supreme-court-ftc-slaughter/ Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX 30) is running for senate in Texas in 2026. There’s a lot of chatter out there about her announcement, that she’s a Republican plant, that she can’t win–and it’s true that it’s tough for a Dem to win a senate seat in Texas. Our hosts take a critical look at the media coverage of her announcement and speculate on a possible path to victory. We’ll get to more of your questions this week, including one about legacy media’s complicity in the Trump administration's agenda. A lot of y’all had smoke for Tiffany in the questions this week, we’ll get to those in our MiniPod.

On episode 108 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are repping the “shithole” countries with our esteemed guest, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The US military keeps bombing boats in the Caribbean without providing evidence of wrongdoing. A recent “double-tap” strike was a violation of international law REGARDLESS of what crimes were alleged. Is there any chance that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (and all those in the chain of command) will be held liable for these war crimes? The president called for the DEATH of Democrats who encouraged soldiers not to follow illegal orders. Meanwhile, Bakari was tossed on a CNN panel to debate whether or not the US government has the right to kill anyone it pleases with the wife of the most infamous white nationalist in the White House, Katie Miller. What’s the responsible way for newsrooms to cover current events when extremists are hijacking the conversation? Our guest today is Representative Ilhan Omar (MN 5), who was the target of a deranged and racist rant by President Trump this week (he’s obsessed with her). Rep Omar was born in Somalia, and so Trump is now intent on taking out his psychopathic hatred toward Omar on the entire Somali-American community. There are reports that he plans to target Somali-Americans with ICE raids and revoke their immigration status wherever possible–even taking away their US citizenship if he can. In response to one of your questions the hosts give tips on how to engage your non-political friends. Disillusion with the political process is rampant. How do you have political conversations without turning people off?

On episode 107 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by renowned academic and multi-platform journalist, Marc Lamont Hill. Marc Lamont Hill hosts UpFront for Aljazeera and is a co-host on The Joe Budden Podcast. He’s been a commentator for outlets from CNN to BET and has made remarks before the United Nations on the Israel-Palestine conflict. You can check out his work and support him at https://www.patreon.com/cw/MarcLamontHillOfficial Nicki Minaj was at the U.N. calling for an end to targeted anti-Christian violence in parts of Africa. We’re happy she cares–and we wish she’d do a little more research, it’s not as if it’s ONLY Christians being targeted. Our hosts chat with Marc Lamont Hill about events on the continent. Mamdani met with Trump in the Oval Office at the end of last week and had a rather chummy press conference with the president he repeatedly called a “fascist.” Our hosts have diverging opinions on the relevance and meaning of this moment, was this bad optics or cunning politics? Rankin County jail guards filmed themselves mocking and torturing a Black inmate with intellectual disabilities, rewarding him with a coca-cola after electrocuting him for fun. Some incidents are so horrific we have to pause and ask: Why? What is the meaning of this? NFL quarterback Shadeur Sanders started in his first NFL game last Sunday. The rookie already has a reputation for being cocky–even by the standards of professional sports players–and made some comments after the game that turned heads.

On episode 106 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers… President Trump has been under enormous pressure to release the Epstein Files. Republicans–who wanted the files released under President Biden–are now twisting themselves into knots trying to protect Trump’s reputation. Democrats are also finding themselves mentioned more than they’d like in what’s been released thus far. As it turns out, proximity to power knows no partisan bounds. MAYBE having transparency into the crimes of the most infamous pedophile in modern history is good in-and-of itself and should never have been a partisan issue… Trump’s DOJ never misses an opportunity to engage in more injustice with the latest being federal prosecutors pushing to release one of Breonna Taylor’s killers. Ben Shapiro and others are also advocating for the release of Derek Chauvin, the officer who murdered George Floyd. AND Our guest today is the Attorney General of Massachusetts, Andrea Campbell. AG Campbell has been a leader in the push back against the Trump administration having filed more than 40 lawsuits to halt some of their dangerous actions. She led a group of AG’s in a lawsuit to release SNAP funds during the shutdown, and she’s been fighting to preserve DEIA initiatives in MA schools, and protect immigrants here legally on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) who have been getting picked up by ICE. There’s a push in several red states to allow pregnant women to park in handicapped spaces. Sounds fine, right? When we take a closer look we see a classic far-right strategy to pit one group against the other, in this case, the disabled community vs. women. Tiffany Cross walks us through the nuance.

On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by the prolific organizer and political strategist, LaTosha Brown.

On episode 105 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers recap the end of the government shutdown. Moderate Democrats in the Senate caved and passed a temporary budget without getting their demands met to continue funding health care subsidies. What the heck happened and what was the point of this record-breaking standoff that saw federal workers furloughed and the poorest Americans lose food assistance? It is not Democrats who “lost” the government shutdown, it is us, the American people, but it has made the Democrats look like losers. MAGA is teeing up to rig the 2026 election. Reporter Ari Berman wrote an article this week about Trump's pardons for high-profile attorneys and others involved in his plot to overturn the 2020 election–but it’s not just about 2020. Ari’s reporting outlines what Trump’s likely path toward rigging 2026 will be, and the under-the-radar efforts by the Trump administration to fill the voting process with red tape (voter ID, ban voting machines, etc.), which Ari says the administration will use as a pre-text to claim that “millions of Americans voted illegally” in 2026. Ari Berman is the national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones. Read Ari’s article here: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/11/trump-martin-fake-electors-pardon-2020/ And of course we’ll hear from you!

On CNN's State of the Union, Jake Tapper sits down exclusively with California Gov. Gavin Newsom for a wide-ranging interview. They discuss his decisive redistricting win, the state of the Democratic Party, whether he will run for president in 2028, and how Democrats can reverse their slide among young male voters.

Next, CNN Political Commentators Xochitl Hinojosa, Kristen Soltis Anderson, Bakari Sellers, and Republican Rep. Riley Moore join Jake to discuss what lessons Trump and Republicans should take from Democrats' sweeping election wins. Finally, Jake wonders why President Trump isn't taking his past advice on what presidents need to do to end government shutdowns. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week’s MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by Maurice Mitchell, the National Director of the Working Families Party for a conversation on breaking the two-party system and getting corporate (and AIPAC) money out of politics. The WFP is a political party aimed at taking power from the rich and powerful, and putting it in the hands of the working class through a broad multi-racial coalition. They run their own candidates AND run candidates through Democratic Party primaries, candidates who have fought for higher wages, a fairer criminal justice system, getting big money out of politics, and more.

On episode 104 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers go through this week’s election results and take an account of how our Black candidates (and voters) performed. The race for NYC’s mayor dominated the airwaves, where Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won. BUT there were other important races. Black mayors were elected across the country, the governor race in Virginia and New Jersey went solidly Democratic, and State-level elections in the South saw typically conservative seats flip blue. Folks are wondering if Mamdani is the new “face of the Democratic party” which WE think is missing the point. NLP is joined by President Biden’s former press secretary (the first Black woman to hold the job) Karine Jeane-Pierre to discuss some of the election results and Democrat’s media strategy. In her new book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside Party Lines, Karine shares some pointed critiques of a party she no longer identifies with, and our hosts ask some pointed questions of Karine. And our hosts respond to your questions! There’s an interesting one about infiltrating the Republican party and another from a chef asking who is keeping our legacy “recipes.” If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

On this episode hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum answer YOUR questions at the AfroTech conference in Houston, Texas. AfroTech is a hub for Black S.T.E.M professionals, innovators, entrepreneurs, & visionaries. It was founded in 2016 by Blavity Inc. and aims to inspire future Black leaders within the tech industry where Black professionals are significantly underrepresented. Black workers accounted for just 7.4 percent of the high-tech workforce and 5.7 percent of high-tech managers, despite making up nearly 12 percent of the total U.S. workforce, according to U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

On episode 103 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are TOGETHER at a studio in Houston, Texas. Starting on November 1st, SNAP (food stamps) benefits will reportedly run out of funding, affecting more than 40 million Americans, or about 10% of the country. This despite the fact that the federal government could easily appropriate funds to continue the SNAP program through November. This is a result of the federal government shutdown which will soon be the longest shutdown in U.S. history. This shutdown is doing damage to American’s faith in our own government. With Democrats poised to take control of the House in 2026, what responsibility will they have to restore the trust deficit? And in the meantime, wtf do WE do?!? Our hosts discuss how to stand in the gap and support our communities even when the government won’t.
