Podcast appearances and mentions of chad bolt

On the radio show this week we dive into a snapshot of uplifting news between the headlines as we hear from a mom and small business owner who recently testified before Congress about how tariffs and trade wars hurt our families and our economy – and why childcare and a care infrastructure policies lift businesses and families alike. We also hear about a new campaign “Families Over Billionaires” and how you can get involved in making the tax code more fair. We then cover the rise of women's engagement and activism in politics. Finally, we discuss the need for white allies to step up and dismantle white supremacy and fight for racial and economic justice.      *Special guests include: Molly Neitzel, Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream, @mollymoon; Chad Bolt, Families Over Billionaires, @TaxWarRoom, @TaxWarRoom.bsky.social; Rhonda Foxx, Persist, @PersistNetwork, @rhonnief.bsky.social; Erin Heaney, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), @showup4rj, @surj.bsky.social

In this episode, Kathryn and Marlowe invite fellow listener and friend of the podcast, Chad Bolt (@runnerchad), to talk about none other than Taylor Swift. This episode is truly a fractured mosaic of multiple feelings about Taylor that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild. From "Tim McGraw" to "the last great american dynasty", we get into it all! For legal purposes, Chad is not an official expert on all things Taylor and is not a self-proclaimed "Swiftie". Chad is also not a lawyer. Enjoy! Love you guys! Want to connect with us? Send us an email to asksidenote@gmail.com!

Rebecca talks with CAP budget gurus Seth Hanlon and Lily Roberts about Part Deux of Trump’s Cruelty Olympics, aka his budget proposal, which came out earlier this week—and Indivisible’s Chad Bolt returns for another installment of ICYMI.

Rebecca talks with Pat Garofalo, author of The Billionaire Boondoggle: How Our Politicians Let Corporations and Bigwigs Steal Our Money. But first—Indivisible’s Chad Bolt and CAP senior advisor Jesse Lee swing by the studio to recap Trump’s latest budget.

How America treats its black farmers, Ben Carson’s backdoor attempt to private public housing, and Chad Bolt returns with the news of the week ICYMI.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney on how he’s fighting poverty in the poorest big city in the U.S.—and Indivisible’s Chad Bolt returns with yet another update on Trump’s shutdown & other news of the week ICYMI.

Indivisible’s Chad Bolt joins to co-host our first episode this year, filling Jeremy’s shoes on this week’s ICYMI; plus we break down everything you need to know about the shutdown with Sam Berger; and Talk Poverty’s Pat Garofalo joins to explain all things PAYGO.

DC Council makes moves to overturn a wage increase for tipped workers; thousands continue to struggle in Puerto Rico one year after Hurricane Maria made landfall; and the news of the week ICYMI (with special guest Chad Bolt!)

A few of our favorite conversations from this year including: Professor Philip Alston and his poverty report for the U.N.; Thea Bryan, a DC bartender who lost her job after speaking out in favor of Initiative 77; and Chad Bolt on why Indivisible’s 435 campaign is backing activists-turned-candidates to bring about a Blue Tsunami in November.

This week Off-Kilter took a trip to New Orleans for Netroots Nation, which for more than a decade has been bringing together progressive leaders, candidates, grassroots activists and independent media once a year. For the first of two episodes featuring conversations from Netroots, this week Rebecca talks with Joe Dinkin, national campaign director for the Working Families Party, one of the lead sponsors of this year’s conference and a longtime Netroots goer; Danica Roem, the first openly trans elected official in the Commonwealth of Virginia; and Chad Bolt, associate director of policy at Indivisible (and a friend of the show) who’s been talking tax at Netroots—including this week’s news that the Trump administration is trying to bypass Congress to give millionaires and billionaires another $100 billion in tax cuts they don’t need. 

This week on Off-Kilter, it’s midterm season — the time when members of Congress come home to their districts to tell their constituents just how hard they’ve been fighting for them, and why they should send them back to Washington. For a look ahead to the upcoming midterms — and a sneak peek at how Indivisible is working to bring change to Washington by supporting activists-turned-candidates taking on GOP incumbents through the “Indivisible 435” campaign launched earlier this week — Rebecca talks with Indivisible’s Chad Bolt. Next: One month after the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination, a group of faith leaders resuscitated the civil rights icon’s final project by launching the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. You’re probably familiar with campaign co-chair Reverend William Barber II from his leadership of the Moral Mondays movement. But less well known is his co-chair, the Reverend Dr. Liz Theoharis, who has spent the past two decades working as an organizer with groups led by people in poverty, such as the National Welfare Rights Union and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. Rebecca speaks with Rev. Dr. Theoharis about what’s behind the campaign — and how it’s trying to change the narrative on poverty in the U.S. Later in the show: TalkPoverty.org broke the story last week that Ohio is hoarding over half a billion dollars in unspent funds for poor families — and how when a bipartisan group of 70 rural mayors asked to use just a small portion of it to help struggling Ohioans afford their water bills… the state said no. Rebecca talks with Jack Frech, who spent nearly four decades working in an Ohio welfare office, as a caseworker and ultimately as itsdirector, to get the skinny on what’s going on in Ohio. But first: With horrifying immigration stories dominating the headlines, from families being separated at the border to people dying in ICE custody, Rebecca and Jeremy bring in a ringer — Claudia Flores, immigration campaign manager at the Center for American Progress Action Fund — for a special all-immigration edition of In Case You Missed It.

This week, we're pleased to be joined by Black Lives Matter activist and the host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the People, DeRay Mckesson, to talk about the beginnings of Black Lives Matter, and about how the movement is evolving. We also discuss Campaign Zero, BLM's organization dedicated to ending police killings and violence. Next, Indivisible's senior policy manager, Chad Bolt, returns to the show, this time to help dissect Trump's infrastructure plan, and to talk about what's in the recently released White House budget proposal. And, most importantly, we talk about what action steps Indivisible members can take to fight back.

This week's show is all about taxes. First, we talk with Indivisible member Kat Martin about her one-day seminar called the Trump Tax Plan Resistance Summit, which features Indivisible's Chad Bolt and Seattle philanthropist Nick Hanauer. The event, which will be held in Seattle on Sunday, November 12th, will teach attendees not only how to resist the GOP tax plan, but also how to build coalitions and resistance movements that last. Then we chat with associate director of fiscal policy with the Washington State Budget & Policy Center, Andy Nicholas, all about how the GOP tax plan may affect us here in the state. All that, plus our dose of good news! Links: https://www.facebook.com/taxmarchseattle/Notonepenny https://notonepenny.org/ bart@notonepenny.org http://budgetandpolicy.org/schmudget

We sat down with Emanuel Nieves of Prosperity Now and our own Chad Bolt to talk all-things #TrumpTaxScam and how you can fight back!

This week, we break down the coming fight on Trump's tax plan (#trumptaxscam) with Indivisible's policy manager, Chad Bolt. Learn all about the budget that just passed through Congress, and what it means for tax reform. Don't despair--there's actually plenty to be hopeful and optimistic about! Then we talk with members of two Virginia-based Indivisible-affiliated groups--Julia K. of Arlington's We of Action, and Ivonne Wallace Fuentes, founder of Roanoke Indivisible--all about November's pivotal governor's race, as well as the fight for the state house.
