The stakes for debates are pretty low when the Vice Presidency is the office in question, but J.D. Vance seems to have said better sounding words than Tim Walz, according to most reactions. Putting in a word for Walz—or at least a warning against Vance—is our guest Democratic strategist and analyst Jess McIntosh, who is here to assess the Vice Presidential debate. Plus, a dock strike could jeopardize goods across America. Turns out, dockworkers earn on average more than $150k a year at the East Coast's biggest port, and they also hold most of the cards in this negotiation.

Recorded live at UCB Theatre NY's new 14th Street theatre, we get tipsy with Doug Gordon (The War on Cars), Jess McIntosh (Democratic strategist; Contributor, CNN & MSNBC), and Justin Tyler (Desus & Mero, The Opposition w/Jordan Klepper).
This week we're joined by one of our favorite guest hosts, political strategist Jess McIntosh. You know what they say… come to discuss the electoral process, stay to discuss the latest shocking thing to hit our newsfeeds. Jess, Amanda and Jasmine discuss the events of the weekend, the recent increase in political violence and violent rhetoric, and emphasize that we need to settle our policy differences at the ballot box. But “lowering the temperature in our politics” doesn't mean that we suddenly stop talking about extremist policies that threaten our country.After that conversation, we're joined by Scott Anderson of The Strategic Victory Fund to demystify our election process. How do elections work? Are they really secure? How does the electoral college work, and can we change it? Scott answers all of our questions and more.Finally, Jess, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to Portland, DoorDash, and Rudy Giuliani having to pay the campaign workers he defamed in this week's Toast to Joy.If you have questions about Project 2025 and want to learn more, you can view our online toolkit here.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

On Monday, we learned that the committee for the 2024 Republican convention is debating a new platform, proposed by Donald Trump, that purports to soften the party's positions on abortion and same sex marriage. This will be widely interpreted as a savvy effort to woo swing voters and suburban women. But what if it's really an expression of fear that the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the horrors it has unleashed will remain a major problem for Trump and the GOP this fall? We talked to Jess McIntosh, a Democratic strategist and longtime defender of reproductive rights, about what's driving this shift, why it's a scam, and how Democrats can make sure voters know it.

Today we are celebrating big wins! We were all holding our breath for Tuesday's election results because there was so much on the line, from the ballot measure in Ohio to the Virginia legislature to school board races across the country. And we are so excited to say that last night, democracy won!We're joined for this special election recap episode by one of our favorite guests, Jess McIntosh. Jess helps us celebrate the wins (Issue 1 in Ohio! We kept the State Senate and flipped the House of Delegates in Virginia! And extremists lost school board races across the country!) and she also guides us through what this all means for 2024.Our Toasts to Joy this week are to the many fantastic candidates out there – some won and some lost, but every one of them put their values out there and fought for what they believe in. And we toast to you, our community of listeners. We're so grateful for you and we're so proud of the difference we all made last night.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week, we're joined by Jill Jonassen to talk about Red Wine & Blue's new limited series podcast The Cost Of Extremism. Our hosts Rachel, Jasmine and Amanda are taking a well-deserved summer break during the month of August, but don't worry - there will still be a podcast in your Suburban Women Problem feed! The Cost of Extremism is a 4-episode deep dive into the true cost of extremism… on our kids, families, and communities.After hearing all about the new pod, our hosts are joined by one of our favorite guests of all time, Jess McIntosh. Jess hosts AMA (that's Ask Me Anything) events with Red Wine & Blue where attendees can ask questions about gender and sexuality without any judgment. So today, we held our own mini-AMA where Jasmine, Rachel, and Amanda were able to ask some of the most common questions that come up at these AMA events - plus a few of their own! Should we be putting our pronouns in our email signature? What exactly is gender-affirming care? And what are some ways we can all think about our own gender, regardless of how we identify? It's okay to have questions, and Jess McIntosh has answers.Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to travel, nature, and adventure in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”We'll be on a 4-week break for the month of August but The Cost Of Extremism will be right here in the SWP feed. And we'll be back in September with more episodes of The Suburban Women Problem!For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week we're celebrating Pride Month! In a time when LGBTQ Americans are facing unprecedented attacks in legislation, on social media, in libraries and schools, and everywhere else, we wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate everything they bring to this country. The hosts are joined by Mindy and Lily Freeman, a trans high school student and her mom, to authentically share both their joy and their pain. Personal stories are such an antidote to misinformation, and we're so grateful to both Mindy and Lily for sharing their stories. We're also so impressed by their amazing work with the Gender Cool Project, Project Uncensored, PFLAG, and more.After that, Rachel sits down for an interview with Sarah Kate Ellis, the President and CEO of GLAAD - one of the largest advocacy organizations for LGBTQ people. Rachel and Sarah Kate chat about the importance of representation, the unwarranted hysteria over trans athletes, “parents rights,” and what it was like for Sarah Kate being pregnant at the exact same time as her wife! You can read about her wedding and learn more about “All Moms,” the children's book she wrote with her wife Kristen.Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to blended families, school graduations, road trips, and the beautiful diversity of America in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”Red Wine & Blue has been holding AMA events as a part of our Freedom To Parent 21st Century Kids campaign. AMA stands for Ask Me Anything! And on Thursday, June 8th, we're holding a special AMA event for the Gen Xers in our community.

Today's episode is all about money! What is the debt ceiling? Why does it matter? Why is poverty such an issue in America? And what can we do about it? Amanda, our resident economist, explains the debt ceiling, the deal that was just reached, how we're underinvesting in our communities, and why women know more about the economy than they think they do. We're joined by Shereen Boyer, a mom in Ohio who's worked in finance for over 30 years, to explain more about why the Democratic party aligns better with her values - not just her social values, but her economic values too.After that, Amanda sits down with Dr. Matthew Desmond, author of “Evicted” and “Poverty, By America.” Matthew explains what he learned when he walked a mile in the shoes of the people he studied and what misconceptions Americans have about poverty. He says that poverty is not a “them” problem, it's an “us” problem - so many of us benefit from poverty in this country, but that also means that we can be part of the solution. If you're inspired by his work and want to help be a “poverty abolitionist,” you can visit https://endpovertyusa.org. Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to kids growing up, Joe Biden, and our brave military service members in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”Red Wine & Blue has been holding AMA events as a part of our Freedom To Parent 21st Century Kids campaign. AMA stands for Ask Me Anything! And on Thursday June 8th, we're holding a special AMA event for the Gen Xers in our community.

Jess McIntosh is filling in for Amanda Weinstein this week as we do another deep dive on Gen Z. This week, we're focusing on an issue that has unfortunately galvanized and inspired so many Gen Z activists: gun violence. As young people have watched adults fail to take action on gun violence prevention, they've stepped up and led the way themselves. They're not held back by decorum or politeness; they're taking action without asking for permission. We're joined by Lauren Jasinski, a teacher in Michigan who had worked in gun violence prevention for years before a school shooting happened in her very own high school. Lauren shares the amazing work that her students are doing, like an organization called No Future Without Today. She also recommends Be Smart, which raises awareness about safe gun storage. We're so grateful to Lauren for sharing her perspective as a teacher, an advocate, and a gun violence survivor.Then Rachel sits down with another incredible Gen Z activist, Eve Levenson. Eve has worked with The Jewish Democratic Council of America, Grassroots Dem HQ, Voters Of Tomorrow, and she co-founded the Youth In Gov Coalition. Relevant to our topic of gun violence this week, she also worked with March For Our Lives, founded by high school students after the school shooting in Parkland. Eve shares how her Jewish identity has inspired her activism, what issues are important to Gen Z, and the best advice she ever received (hint: it was from Ruth Bader Ginsburg!!).Finally, Jess, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to kids' birthdays, to organizing all year round, and to leaning in to what inspires us in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”You don't have to be Gen Z to be a social media queen! Sharing information and inspiring people to action is how we bring change to our communities and our country. If you want to learn how to use social media to defeat right-wing extremism, join us for a special Troublemaker Training on Thursday February 9th.

This holiday season, we're doing the podcast a little differently. For the rest of the year, our hosts will each take turns going deep on what we learned from the midterms - talking with experts and women who worked hard in their own communities. There are so many victories to celebrate and so many lessons to learn! This week, Jasmine Clark is kicking things off with one of our favorite guests and political experts, Jess McIntosh. Jasmine and Jess discuss the biggest surprises of the midterms – namely, the youth vote and the difference that a little good news can make to our mental health – along with the upcoming runoff election in Georgia. Even if having a stronger Democratic majority in the Senate wasn't at stake, Reverend Raphael Warnock is a fantastic leader, Senator, and human. Let's WarNOCK out extremism next week in Georgia.The runoff is on Tuesday December 6th. If you want to help Senator Warnock's campaign, first things first, talk to everyone you know in Georgia… both about the importance of voting and also about talking to everyone they know about voting. And if you'd like to make a donation, you can go to redwine.blue/warnock. Funds are split between Rev. Warnock and Black Voters Matter.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.
Democratic strategist and dear friend of the show Jess McIntosh joins Zerlina to kick off our first Feminist Friday!
This week on the pod, hosts Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein, and Rachel Vindman talk about voting “down ballot.” That just means voting for local candidates! Because as important as it is to have good people representing us in Washington, local elections have even more of an impact on our day to day lives.The hosts are joined by Kate Nazemi, a mom in Pennsylvania whose school board has been infiltrated by extremists. Central Bucks school board now has two members of Moms for Liberty and one member who even believes in QAnon, and they're enacting harmful policies like banning books, rainbow flags, and sex ed. Kate talks about how this extremist school board got elected in the first place and why it's so important to engage in local politics. Then Jasmine sits down with Yasmin Radjy, the new Executive Director of Swing Left. Jasmine is a Swing Left endorsed candidate, so this conversation is a match made in heaven. Jasmine and Yasmin talk about the important work Swing Left is doing to mobilize voters, how we can do a better job of talking up all the recent Democratic victories, and the power of suburban women. They even find a little time to chat about cute babies and Gossip Girl.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to labor unions, fun campaign events, and fighting for democracy in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're listening to this podcast, you know the importance of the upcoming elections and you want to turn out all your friends to vote. But you might still want a little help having effective and persuasive conversations. Join us on Thursday September 8 for a special Troublemaker Training with Jess McIntosh. You can sign up for Messaging 101 here.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.
The midterm elections are only 14 weeks away and there has been a lot going on in election news - primaries all over the country, campaigning, organizing, media narratives that may or may not be true… it's hard to keep track of it all.So this week we're doing a “road to the midterms” episode of the pod. Amanda Weinstein and Rachel Vindman are joined by guest hosts Jess McIntosh and Julie Collins. Jess is a political strategist and Julie is the National Organizer for Red Wine and Blue, so they are a wealth of knowledge to help us all understand what is going on with the midterms… and what is at stake.And before our delightful guest hosts leave, everyone raises a glass to park rangers, family time, and incredible young activist Olivia Julianna in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here. Suburban women are taking a stand - join us!For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.
Lately, the news has been pretty bleak: losing our reproductive rights, seeing just how close we came to losing our democracy on January 6… there haven't been a lot of reasons for hope. But this episode we're changing that, because we're talking to four incredible young LGBTQ activists. As our panel moderator Jess McIntosh says, advocacy is a relay race - and these young people are already running with the baton. And if teenagers can put together marches or speak at school board meetings, how much more could we all be doing?But before we get to our youth panel, hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein discuss how they're feeling about the Roe news a few days later. They chat about how the Republican Party seems to be backpedaling because they're realizing that overturning Roe is widely unpopular. But they aren't going to stop trying to take away our rights, from abortion to gay marriage, so we need to keep having these conversations and organizing.Finally, our hosts raise a glass to their kids, to a little alone time, and to being in the right place at the right time in this week's “Toast to Joy.”You can visit go.redwine.blue/roepod to get more information about how to stand up for reproductive rights. There, you can find answers to frequently asked questions and learn more about how to get involved. The court has spoken and we want to know how many suburban women are willing to join us to fight extremism.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.
CNN commentator, democratic strategist and our friend Jess McIntosh joins Zerlina on the show to discuss how we move forward following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
On this episode of the pod, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and Rachel Vindman talk about sex, baby... comprehensive sex education, that is! Sex ed overlaps with every other issue we've been discussing this year: book bans, abortion rights, trans kids, accusations of “grooming,” even gun violence. It's clear that right-wing politicians care more about maintaining power than they do about the lives and well-being of kids.The hosts exchange stories of what they learned in sex ed and talk about why comprehensive sex ed (especially teaching consent) is so important. In fact, Jasmine has pushed for a bill in the Georgia legislature that would require consent to be taught during sex ed. (To no one's surprise, the GA Republicans refused to even discuss the issue.)Then we're joined by Christine and Shannon Curley, a mother/daughter duo who host a podcast called Sex Ed Debunked. Shannon and Christine discuss the shortcomings of American sex ed programs and why it's important to include respect, consent, body autonomy, gender identity and sexual orientation - at age appropriate levels. Shannon also chats about what it's like to host a podcast about sex with her mom! If you want to check out Sex Ed Debunked, you can find it on all major podcast platforms.After that, Rachel sits down with Jess McIntosh. Jess is a communications consultant, the co-host of Signal Boost with Zerlina Maxwell, and has been working with Advocates for Youth to stand up for abortion access, LGBTQ rights, and honest sex ed. Jess and Rachel discuss why the radical right has been using sex ed to scare suburban moms, what it means to be non-binary, the weirdest thing about being a commenter on CNN, and so much more.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to military veterans and the start of summer in this week's “Toast to Joy.”Our National Troublemaker Training with Senator Mallory McMorrow is coming up on Monday, June 6. If you'd like to join Mallory and other badass suburban moms, you can register for this event at https://go.redwine.blue/GetTrained. For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.
Mediaite editor in chief Aidan McLaughlin speaks with Democratic strategist Jess McIntosh about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. McIntosh is a veteran campaign adviser and strategist, with a particular focus on reproductive rights. She served on Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and as the communications director for EMILY's List, which works to elect pro-choice candidates. McLaughlin and McIntosh discuss what the decision means for Roe, for abortion in America, and for the upcoming midterms elections. McIntosh also assesses how the media covers abortion.
Recorded live at Caveat NYC, we get tipsy with Chris LeBron (Candidate, NY State Assembly District 75), Jess McIntosh (Co-host, Signal Boost podcast; CNN Commentator), Austin Rogers (12-Time Jeopardy! Champion & author of The Ultimate Book of Pub Trivia by the Smartest Guy in the Bar)
MSNBC political analyst Juanita Tolliver joins Zerlina Maxwell and Jess McIntosh to talk about Biden's visit to Georgia and more! Hear them tackle the latest on voting rights legislation, the January 6th investigation, and a little KPOP appreciation.
This week we're joined by special guest Jess McIntosh! Jess is an organizer, CNN contributor, and co-host of the Signal Boost podcast on SiriusXM with fellow political analyst Zerlina Maxwell. We talk to Jess about how she became involved in politics, what everyday citizens can do to make their voices heard, and if the LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts (aka the "Fame" school) was really as given to spontaneous singing and dancing in the hallways and cafeteria as the movie led us to believe.

We have more women in the current congress than ever before, but they still only make up 23.7%. Political commentator and strategist Jess McIntosh (SiriusXM Progress) joins us in these extraordinary times to dyke out about the challenges women politicians face in getting elected, and why it's important to have them in office. How did we go from such a diverse field of democratic candidates for president, including six women, to ending up with just another old white guy? (Note: We recorded the interview portion of this episode a few days before Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race.) Plus, Carolyn and Melody discuss how their lives as New York City comedians has drastically changed. Should they adapt to this new normal, or ride it out in hopes that things will go back to how they were - minus the handshakes. Finally, we end on a question from a listener who is struggling with knowing whether she is asexual or just hasn't met the right person. -Get extra episodes by joining our Patreon community or becoming a member on Himalaya.

When Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, my heart dropped, and I wasn't alone. Millions of women who have marched, organized, and donated saw their civil rights being swept away from our current administration by the recommendation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Women's health is not the only issue in grave danger if Kavanaugh gets the seat. Immigration, LGTBQ rights, and almost every facet of American life will be affected. We're being told Kavanaugh is a foregone conclusion. What you will hear in this show is that IT IS NOT. But we need your help. Please listen to and share this episode featuring the Los Angeles stop on the Rise Up For Roe Tour. The arguments that this is the most important issue, and we can win are compelling.

As a political animal, the Republican Party’s moderate wing is extinct. Interviews with political experts Geoffrey Kabaservice and Erica Seifert about the future of the GOP. And Bill Press interviews a leader of EMILY’s List. Today we talk about a fascinating species of political animal – the Republican Party. Professor Geoffrey Kabaservice has written a history of the GOP since Eisenhower and says its moderate wing is pretty much extinct. Democratic political analyst Erica Seifert has conducted focus groups of Republicans and predicts that their takeover by extremists marginalizes the party’s national appeal. And Bill Press, along with Chris Moody of Yahoo News, interviews Jess McIntosh, communications director of EMILY’s List about Project Madam President. Geoffrey Kabaservice Historian Geoffrey Kabaservice has studied Republican moderates of the past – and they include people named Cheney and Rumsfeld – and traces the party’s history to its present state. And, he says, the moderate wing of the Republican party is dead and gone. http://global.oup.com/academic/product/rule-and-ruin-9780199975518;jsessionid=C06457AE919A9DBEED933E0CF59CAB31?cc=us&lang=en& Erica Seifert After a series of focus groups, Erica Seifert finds that while the Tea Party and the evangelicals of the party are, indeed, extremists, they are not the Republican fringe. They are the majority of the party, and that bodes ill for the GOP’s future. http://www.democracycorps.com/Republican-Party-Project/inside-the-gop-report-on-focus-groups-with-evangelical-tea-party-and-moderate-republicans/ Jess McIntosh Bill Press and his guest, Jess McIntosh, spokeswoman for EMILY’s List. http://emilyslist.org/ Jim Hightower Big lies win pyrrhic GMO victory for Big Food

A former Republican ambassador warns that anti-Americanism and fundamentalism is growing in the Muslim world. He also says it is not certain that the Boston bombing will actually help our relations with Russia. Regular commentator Fred Rotondaro says despite legislative setbacks on gun safety legislation the NRA will be revealed as a paper tiger. And Bill Press talks with Emily’s List communications director Jess McIntosh about the drive to elect a woman president. Mike Ussery Mike Ussery was ambassador to Morocco in Republican administrations, and in the wake of the Boston bombing, he cautions about rising anti-Americanism in Muslim countries. And, he says things could go either way in dealing with Russia in the fight against terrorism. Fred Rotondaro Fighting the NRA may take a long time, but the gun lobby is going to be revealed as a paper tiger, says regular commentator Fred Rotondaro. http://americanprogress.org Jess McIntosh Bill Press and his guest, Jess McIntosh of Emily’s List and the drive to elect a woman president. http://emilyslist.org/ Jim Hightower The cold calculation of clothing corporations.
