We saw that happen in real time when Dear Leader signed the MAGA Murder Budget into law. It's a major giveaway to the corporate class, such as providing tax write-offs for buying private planes. Very working class, indeed. Pat applauds Michigan AG Dana Nessel for going after corruption inside the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. 19:07-44:00: Ivan Diaz, Democratic Socialist Candidate For MI State Senate Seat 29 Democratic Socialist Ivan Diaz, who's running for the Michigan Senate Seat in the 29th District, joins the show to talk about his campaign, and why he believes Now is the right time to represent a transformative working class agenda for his district. Pat and Mr. Diaz discuss his agenda, how to reverse MAGA Republicanism, how to reverse neoliberal policies, and how Democrats can best reach the working class. They also talk about where Democrats fell short in Michigan, and how he'll convince voters that Democratic Socialism serves all people. 44:01-50:00: Last Call-Populism Wins The "Last Call" argues how Americans are in a populist move, but while MAGA Republicans offer fake-populism, Democratic Party leaders and consultants refuse to back populist economic policies.  50:01-52:54: Ending/Tigers Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES:

News...Dear Leader was proud of Hegseth in Iran news briefing or should be call it a media berating briefing? Trump is now limiting intelligence sharing - can we still call it "intelligence?"

This week, we examine Trump's pathological relationship with Fox News and how his morning TV viewing sessions led directly to bombing Iran. We trace the disturbing line from Fox pundits praising Israeli strikes to Trump launching his own attacks—strikes that Rolling Stone reports were "based on vibes" rather than intelligence.We explore how a president who spent years tweeting that Obama would "play the Iran card" has now done exactly that himself, abandoning his "no foreign wars" promise the moment cable news suggested he needed to "get more involved." It's the story of how America's foreign policy became must-see TV, and how Republicans reprogram themselves to cheer whatever Dear Leader does next."The president was closely monitoring Fox News, which was airing wall-to-wall praise of Israel's military operation and featuring guests urging Mr. Trump to get more involved." —The New York [Effing] TimesWe close by discussing the 1976 BBC production "I, Claudius" and its plot's uncanny similarities to Washington, D.C. today.   Not safe for work.

MAGA is trying to cope with Dear Leader stoking a new middle east war. His speeches were all about the opposite. But his actions the first time around should've been noticed instead. MAGA grifters and simps are struggling to make it all OK. Luckily, many in MAGA aren't buying it.

Does Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin, and Congresswoman Kristen McDonald-Rivet understand the fight we're in right now? The Trump Regime's authoritarianism must be challenged on all fronts, particularly after California Senator Alex Padilla was thrown-down and arrested by federal officials after he tried asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question. Yet, Slotkin and McDonald-Rivet repeatedly vote ALONG with Dear Leader on a range of issues, as Pat Johnston explains this week.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Democrats Help Push Crypto Industry Reward Bill To Finish Line."

An official memo from the Trump administration is directing all would-be federal employees to draft an essay about how much they love Donald Trump as part of the hiring process. The federal government is currently on a hiring freeze that will expire on July 15th, and in order to make sure they only get Trump-loving applicants, they are requiring the essay as part of the process. This is so "Dear Leader" that it would make North Korea blush.During a press briefing this week, Karoline Leavitt struggled to pronounce a very basic, and very important word MULTIPLE times. As pointed out on BlueSky by Aaron Rupar, Leavitt struggled several times to say "President Trump," and instead it sounded more like "President Chump." The Internet immediately lit up at Leavitt's latest screw up, but Trump probably wasn't laughing. According to a new report from The Washington Post, Donald Trump's own White House staffers have been "blindsided" by his posts on Truth Social, with some saying that they've been shocked by what they've seen over there. Have these people been living in a cave with no internet for the last 15 years? Everyone knows that this is how Trump operates, but it is also true that his posts are growing even more unhinged than ever before.During a late night posting spree on Truth Social this week, Donald Trump bizarrely and incorrectly stated that the economy is doing better than ever. This was an obvious lie, but it didn't take long to get thoroughly debunked, as a new economic report was released just hours later showing that the US economy is once again FAILING to meet economic projections and could hit recession status by this summer. Trump can't hide the truth from everyone all the time.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Trump is now calling for pharmaceutical price cuts and floating tax hikes on the rich, and suddenly long-held GOP talking points are… looking suspiciously like Democratic policies. So what's happening here? Is this the dawn of Trumpian socialism? Or are Democratic ideas only “evil” until Trump decides to rebrand them as his own? Let's dive into the ideological blender that is MAGA in 2025. Do they have any real principles? Or is the platform now just “whatever Dear Leader said this morning on Truth Social”? It's not left. It's not right. It's just chaos in a red hat. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Go to FFRF.US/Freedom or text DON to 511 511 and become a member today.

Ono acted weak in the face of the Trump Regime's threats while also going after Pro-Palestinian student protesters. And sadly, Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel went along with it by charging seven of those students. Although, she dropped all charges this week. Pat also covers how MAGA is echoing Dear Leader's "sacrifice" mantra even though that message was never pushed during the election. 20:02-38:06: ProPublica's Anna Clark Interview Anna Clark from ProPublica talks about her article on how Trump & Musk have been busy gutting the funding for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Michigan. The Lab provides research and solutions for dangerous algae bloom in the lakes, invasive species entering the lakes, and continued clean drinking water. The Lab's work helps all of the coastal towns that reside, and rely on, the Great Lakes! This is part of the Trump Regime's anti-science movement that was all spelled-out in The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025."  38:07-42:43: Last Call-Republicans Attack Farmers Pat's "Last Call" covers how the extreme MAGA Michigan Republican House majority passed a bill last week that would repeal a farmer's right to use their land for large wind and solar farms. What happened to the days of Republicans fighting for property rights? And why are they fighting to block farmers from making money while helping the state's move towards becoming carbon-neutral?

This morning, we're diving into Trump's increasingly authoritarian agenda because the vibes aren't just bad, they're fascist-adjacent. First up: Harvard. Trump's declared war on the Ivy League, now threatening to revoke the university's tax-exempt status because they didn't align with his political narrative. Free speech? Academic freedom? Apparently not when it makes Dear Leader uncomfortable. Then there's the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old law Trump is now using to deport people en masse. A federal judge just ruled that his use of the law exceeds its legal scope. So the question is: Will they listen to the courts? Or are we just tossing the Constitution out the window for good? Don breaks down the legal overreach, the political revenge, and how much longer this democracy can function with this level of power abuse. Spoiler: It's not looking great.

As Donald Trump's insane tariffs plunge America further into a trade a war, the MAGA faithful—with a few notable exceptions—fan out to defend Dear Leader. Meanwhile, Trump says he'd love to send Americans to El Salvador's mega-prison, anti-Trump protests sweep the country, and President Obama speaks out for the first time since the inauguration. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss Republicans' new "suck it up" message on the economy, why Democrats should talk more about Trump's deportations, and how Interior Secretary Doug Burgum likes his cookies. Then, Lovett negotiates the intellectual rationale and practical impact of Trump's tariffs with conservative economist Oren Cass. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The Supreme Court is still sitting on its (tiny) hands, but trial judges are holding strong against the Trump administration's assault on the rule of law. We'll talk about the pushback to Trump's anti-trans executive orders, his assault on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the effort to ensure that the Dear Leader can fire watchdogs at will.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman go through the House Tax Plan as put together by Republicans who used to pretend to care about deficits, but this one will just add to the debt astronomically. Donald Trump's awful math makes him think he can make up that deficit by selling Gold Cards to get citizenship. They had to go through the bizarre "Dear Leader" (but who is the leader) cabinet meeting that had Bobby Kennedy Jr minimizing a measles outbreak in Texas. And they finish with Jeff Bezos editorializing the editorials - exerting the kind of control that, in a different era, would have killed any publication's credibility.

There are two guests on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Dr. Justin Frank is a former professor of psychiatry at George Washington University. He is the author of several books including Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank reflects on how the American people and their collective sense of normal, safety, and security has been dramatically disrupted by Trump's return to power and his  “shock and awe” campaign against American democracy and society. Dr. Frank counsels that feelings of dread, fear, and anxiety are totally normal responses to such a threat – but the question then becomes what to do with those feelings. Dr. Frank also explains the psychological dynamics at work in why so many Americans were in denial, immature, and refused to believe the many warnings, over almost a decade, that Trump's return to power would be a disaster for the country and the world. Dr. Lance Dodes is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a training and supervising analyst emeritus at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Dr. Dodes explains why and how so many Americans and others in this time of crisis are increasing their unhealthy use of alcohol, drugs, and engaging in other addictive behavior as a coping mechanism. He also explains the important differences between compulsion and bad habits and their importance for treating alcoholism and other diseases. Dr. Frank and Dr. Dodes both share their advice for enduring, navigating, and how Americans of conscience and honor can try to stay healthy and relatively balanced and ready for the long struggle during this time of extreme stress, anxiety, fear, vulnerability, general duress and exhaustion. Chauncey DeVega continues to navigate the long Trumpocene and Trump's first month back in power, what are weeks that feel like years and decades. The Dear Leader has now declared himself a de facto king, emperor, Napoleon…. or worse. And as Chauncey has warned for years, Trump is now literally whitewashing and creating a thoughtcrime regime against teaching the real history of American society and the color line with his very real and very serious Orwellian threats against America's colleges, universities, and public schools.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

In this week's clips from when Bodger Johnson was the Dear Leader, there's a banking alert, a Beatles update and in a bang-up-to-date clip, an advert for, or rather, against Britain.

#podcast #Tariff #WorkingClass #Trump #Musk #Progressive #Michigan #MichiganDemocrats #Republicans #Taxes #Politics #LeftOfLansing Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for February 3, 2025 It's absolutely hilarious to watch MAGA Michigan Republicans celebrate and high-five one another after Dear Leader Trump announced across the board tariffs for Canada and Mexico over the weekend. (Not surprisingly, Trump did rescind on his tariff threat on Mexico on Monday.) These same people who complained about grocery store prices, and gas prices, argued that their Dear Leader would lower those prices on Day One of his presidency.  Now, he's saying these tariffs could cause some Americans "some pain." Don't forget, while Musk-Trump are raising working class taxes due to these tariffs, Michigan Democrats a couple of years ago passed a bill that put money in the hands of hundreds of thousands of Michiganders!

By Jon King of Michigan Advance Michigan Democratic Senator Stephanie Chang Blue Sky post on the Michigan Working Families Tax Credit (Earned Income Tax Credit) savings. Co-Founder and CEO of Victory Field Operations, Meghan Reckling tweet on Trump tariff.

Let's sip and drink this wonderful Rose wine while discussing what is coming for the next 4 years for ALL Americans and SPECIALLY for the cult member Trump supporters. They F***D Around and are about to find out that their DEAR LEADER really does not care about them. Credits to: CNN, Damage Report, Democracy Now, and Hot 97.

DEI – diversity, equity, inclusion – is “immoral,” per Donald Trump, a White man born into millions whose father bought him an Ivy League degree and gave him a $400 million head start in the business world. Your first indication that U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., is planning to run for re-election in 2026: he voted for the Laken Riley Act, the pretend get-tough-on-immigration bill that will allow the Trump administration to go after DACAs and people under Temporary Protected Status protections. We finally heard from our MAGA congressman, Ben Cline, on the issue of President Trump's inexcusable pardons of the 1,500 J6ers who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election to keep their Dear Leader in power.

In these clips from 2021, we were in the middle of The Thing, the Dear Leader was thinking of opening the pubs, but in a strange way, I was confused by a bird and there was quite a lot of bleeping.

Aaron PerrinoTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Aaron Perrino. Aaron is the singer / songwriter most known for being the front man of The Sheila Divine. He is also part of the bands Dear Leader, and Aaron and The Lord. In this episode, we chat about how he got into music, and how winning a Sharper Image gift card on the radio, led to his band being signed by a record label. We talk about the tough road of being a touring artist, and some of the pitfalls that he didn't see coming. Since Aaron is an amazing songwriter, I pick his brain a bit on that, and then we talk about The Sheila Divine's more well known songs. Aaron spills the behind-the-scenes beans on touring with Morrissey and discusses why The Sheila Divine is so popular in Belgium. He shares the experience of having one of their songs used in a Cadillac commercial. Then we talk about his other bands Dear Leader as well as Aaron and The Lord. He lets me play my favorite Sheila Divine song, and then we talk about their new album I Am the Darkness. We Are the Light. I wouldn't be me if I didn't also ask him if I could plat a song from the new record! He graciously agrees to let me play Lilydale. Look for The Sheila Divine on Bandcamp and follow their upcoming tour dates on Instagram. Special thanks to John Graziano for making this interview happen. Thanks Graz!

Another day in the last days of the "Grand Experiment" in liberal democracy. Trump voters are already regretting it. Republicons fall in line behind the Dear Leader's destruction of America. Oklahoma establishes the Orwellian "Office of Religious Freedom and Patriotism" to indoctrinate youth into being good Republican lickspittles confused about America. We discuss the madness. _________________________________ Tarabuster is among the independent media voices at APSRadioNews.com Tarabuster is also on https://rokfin.com/tarabuster BECOME A "TARABUSTER" PATRON: www.patreon.com/taradevlin Join the Tarabuster community on Discord too!! https://discord.gg/PRYDBx8 Buy some Resistance Merch and help support our progressive work! http://tarabustermerch.com/ Contact Tarabuster: tarabustershow@maskedfort.com Buy some Resistance Merch and help support our progressive work! http://tarabustermerch.com/ Donate to Tarabuster: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/taradacktyl

Trump plots the destruction of America with totally insane cabinet picks. The Representative from Florida's First District, who surely has the most DUIs in Congress and was facing an ethics probe for child-sex-trafficking, is Shitler's pic for AG. Weekend, second string host FOX News dufus Pete Hegseth was tapped by Man-baby for Secretary of Defense. A former FOXbot fumed over Hegseth's potential ascension to the White House cabinet. The orange stain might have issues wrangling purple Repubs in the House, but don't hold your breath. Notre Dame, the Cathedral, was finally rebuilt.  A House Democrat introduced a resolution to limit Dear Leader to only two terms as POTUS. Walrus-like InfoWars front man Alex Jones handed over audio gear and his studio to the government for a bankruptcy auction to pay his debt to the Sandy Hook parents. Facebook Czar Mark Zuckerberg, who happens to be a black belt in something and is an avid surfer, owns a super yacht that burned 400,000 liters of fuel during a 12 day journey where the Zuck wasn't on board. We are all in this together. :) 

In hour number two, Cyd Chartier is an author and survivor of a cult (though Huffpo doesn't want her to say it) and thought those days for her and her family were behind them, but with the rise of Donald Trump, Cyd sees similarities between the former president and Sam Fife, the creator of the cult her family escaped. Next, it's time for Public Cervix Announcement with Dr. Laura Hanks and we're talking access to contraception, a spike in infant mortality and men who know nothing about the pregnancies.

Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for September 23, 2024. Former New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie levied some harsh words for his former boss, and the extreme MAGA Republican North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.  Christie blasted Dear Leader Trump for supporting and endorsing Robinson, who's own extreme past comments, including how he's a "Black Nazi," might cost Republicans the state of North Carolina this election season.  But while Christie tries to blame Dear Leader for the MAGA-ization of the Republican Party, Christie should also look inward, and also blame himself for his party's trip towards embracing right-wing, Christian Nationalist extremism.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!

Here's the Left of Lansing Monday Musing for September 16, 2024! There's a belief that the weird, warped, right-wing MAGA will disappear after Dear Leader is defeated and gone.  Nothing could be further from the truth. Just look at the absurd lengths many in MAGA World will go to protect Dear Leader Trump now. That kind of absurdity will not end After Trump for them. Why? Because MAGA has always been what the Republican Party is all about, and will always be about.  Make no mistake!

Here's Episode 102 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast! 00:00-23:27: Harris-Trump Debate Reaction In the first segment, Pat begs the Elissa Slotkin campaign to help push her candidacy for the U.S. Senate by sending-out yard signs to rural Democrats across the state. It's a crucial race, and we progressives want to help her defeat "Florida" Mike Rogers. Then, Pat gives his reactions to the Presidential Debate in which Kamala Harris made minced meat of Donald Trump. No wonder he doesn't want any more debates unless some right-wing media hacks moderate it. 23:28-32:01: Last Call: Michigan's Clean Energy Economic Boon Next, Pat highlights an article by Michigan Advance's Kyle Davidson, which details how Michigan's clean energy policies are providing an economic boon! Thanks to clean energy bills passed by state Democrats, and by congressional Democrats, Michiganders will save on their energy bills in the future. These initiatives are also providing thousands of clean energy jobs while making Michiganders healthier! Had MAGA Michigan Republicans been in-charge, we'd be stuck in a 20th Century economy. 32:02-34:41: Ending and Go Tigers!

Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for August 30, 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has done a stellar job at keeping Dear Leader Trump and the Republicans on the defensive since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.  One area where Harris and her campaign could improve, and really put Dear Leader on the defensive, is on the issue of immigration. And Harris could do it without adopting all of the MAGA scary talking points and disgusting tropes about undocumented immigrants.  I explain how.

Here's episode 97 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast! 00:00-14:36: Harris Picks Tim Walz/MI Primary Results Pat discusses why VP Kamala Harris made a brilliant pick to make Minnesota Governor Tim Walz her running mate atop the Democratic presidential ticket. Populism is taking over the country. Rather than shunning that move, Harris embraced it by choosing the common sense progressive Governor. It helps paint a stark contrast both in style and policy between them and the rich and elite Dear Leader Trump-J.D. Vance MAGA ticket. And Pat covers some of the Michigan primary results. 14:37-38:38: Distill Social's Gina Keller Pat talks with Gina Keller, co-founder and Digital Director of the powerful progressive outfit known as Distill Social. Gina's also the co-host of the Point of Disorder podcast, which covers Michigan and national politics. Pat & Gina talk about what Distill Social's been up to, the podcast, the idiocy of trying to ban TikTok, the new energy infusion from the Harris-Walz ticket, and more. Distill Social works on spreading the progressive message and activism happening in the state through social media.  38:39-42:38: Last Call on Florida Mike's Saudi Ties Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin will face MAGA Republican "Florida" Mike Rogers this November for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Debbie Stabenow. Rogers, who once criticized Dear Leader Trump, is now Dear Leader's buddy. But while he's ostensibly against America doing business with China and other overseas businesses, Florida Mike certainly didn't mind doing business with China AND Saudi Arabia during his post-Congressional years. 42:39-44:31: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate and Jimmy venture across the 38th parallel into North Korea to cover the most infamous kaiju film ever made and recapture its star monster: Pulgasari. Tomi Trembath of the Giant-Sized Violence podcast, who grew up with its strange American remake, The Adventures of Galgameth, joins Nate via video call (for obvious reasons) to discuss this "North Korean Godzilla," which is surrounded by urban legends and even wilder true stories. It's a pseudo-remake of a lost South Korean film and, arguably, the Daimajin trilogy--because it's an '80s movie that looks like a grungy '60s movie. (Thanks, "Dear Leader"!) But it saved the life of its kidnapped director, Shin Sang-ok, and his actress wife, Choi Eun-hee, which is the sibject of our Toku Topic.

Louisiana fascist Republicans will force Christianity on all school children. Slurring, thick-tongued Trump pretended he loved Milwaukee, even though he said otherwise, and blathered he would stay in the Brew City during the RNC. According to the co-editor-in-chief of Vanity said Shitler struggled with the chronology of events and "could not keep a straight thought" during an series of interviews. Tech Nazi Elon Musk slithered upon a figurative cross and complained about alleged attempts on his life. The platform formerly known as Twitter has been losing tons of value and their new payment platform probably won't help. A scientist in Finland made protein out of thin air. The House ethics committee heard testimony about possible pedo-antics by GOP Sith Matt Gaetz.  A ninny guest on Blotch Nazi Steve Bannon's podcast caterwauled the Satanic Temple is sending recruits to grab kids attending after school programs. The worst owner in the history of the NFL has blocked the release of a movie about Trump, where the Dear Leader is appropriately portrayed as a monster. Diphthong Jedi and rightwing loon Kandiss Taylor said women can't be POTUS because they aren't buttholes.

Every Friday I'm joined by the brilliant Marcy Wheeler from emptywheel.net to recap most of the important news of the week.... Today we talk the Trump trial and the show of Republican members of Congress skipping out on their jobs  to do Dear Leader's bidding at a NYC courthouse, some even making implicit terror threats (looking at you Matt Gaetz)... there's the fascist proclivities of SCOTUS (in) justice Alito, journalistic lack of integrity, disorder in the House and lots more... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

There are two guests on this episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Brynn Tannehill is a journalist and author of "American Fascism: How the GOP is Subverting Democracy." Her essays and other writing have been featured at the New York Times, The Huffington Post, and The New Republic. Brynn reflects on doing the frustrating and challenging work of continuing to sound the alarm about Dictator Trump, American neofascism, and the existential threat that movement represents to the LGBTQ community and others deemed to be the enemy. She also shares her insights on why so many Americans – especially in the news media and political class – continue to be in a state of denial about the Trumpocene nightmare and the hellscape that awaits the American people when/if The Dear Leader and his cabal take power in 2025.  Heather Cox Richardson is Professor of History at Boston College. She is the author of numerous books including her most recent, “Democracy Awakening”. Richardson's Substack newsletter “Letters From an American” is essential reading and is subscribed to by 1,400,000 people. She explains how the study of American history and peoples' movements to expand real democracy are critical for defeating Trumpism, American neofascism and global illiberalism today. Heather also reflects on how her background as a working-class person helped to prepare her for the intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically demanding work of defending American democracy in her role and responsibility as someone who thinks and writes publicly for a living. Chauncey DeVega summons the power of the Sincerity Prayer and shares his thoughts on our collective exhaustion from the Trumpocene and other life struggles and burdens -- and the importance of not surrendering to them. Chauncey also ponders the perfect film “Perfect Days” and the life lessons he learned from the people he encountered during his travels in his neighborhood. And Chauncey DeVega honors the career of the professional wrestling legend Sting. He is also very upset at the superfans and “Cody Crybabies” who are denying the world the epic WrestleMania 40 battle between The Rock and The Head of the Table Roman Reigns. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?
