Then we're joined by legal analyst Marcy Wheeler to talk about the 34 felony charges filed this week against Donald Trump and get her view of the likely status of three other criminal probes working their way toward the former president.

PlaylistPatti Smith: "Redondo Beach"Caro Emerald: "Perfect Day"Joy Oladokun & Noah Kahan: "We're All Gonna Die"

Then we're joined by Dave Karpf, a professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University to talk about how Elon Musk is steering Twitter straight toward bankruptcy, the saga surrounding the Silicon Valley Bank and the pitfalls of covering the right's endless moral panics.

Then we're joined by veteran journalist Judd Legum to take a good, hard look at Florida's pint-sized wannabe strongman, Ron DeSantis, who has become a darling of conservative pundits and influencers and has been enjoying some soft coverage from the so-called "liberal media" even as he has launched multiple attacks on press freedom.

Joshua Holland kicks off this week's show by pointing out that the pro-Russian right's attempts to portray themselves as "antiwar" are pure gaslighting--and arguing that cutting support for Ukraine is ultimately the pro-war position.

Some of the reasons that first come to mind don't explain it. And then Jennifer Mercieca, a professor of communications and journalism at Texas A&M, helps us understand how fascist movements use control of the language to normalize their extreme ideology and justify their cruelty toward "the other." Think about the American right's current obsession with "wokeness" or obsession with "groomers." But as Mercieca tells us, there are some straightforward strategies to thwart them. PlaylistSara Bareilles: "Single Ladies"Klaxons: "No Diggity"Vanessa Fernandez: "When The Levee Breaks"

Then we speak with Dan Froomkin about how normalcy bias and both-sideism makes America's political press an enabler for an energized far-right movement that poses an ongoing threat to our democratic tradition. And then we're joined by The American Prospect's Jarod Facundo to talk about how the right's relatively new propaganda about "critical race theory" and "wokeness" in our schools is just thin cover for its longstanding project to undermine public education and destroy teachers' unions--and how it isn't working out quite like they'd hoped. PlaylistThe National: "Tropic Morning News"Maneskin: "Beggin'"Paulina Singer: "Milkshake"

Then we're joined by Grand View University historian Thomas Lecaque to talk about the alarming significance of the right doubling down on their anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry after their rhetoric led to the deadly massacre of five in a gay bar in Colorado Springs rather than deflecting blame as they usually do in similar circumstances.
The 2022 midterm results came as no surprise to Joshua Holland, who kicks off this week's show with a look at how the political press's groupthink is shaped in the Trump era. Then we're joined by Business Insider's Linette Lopez, who spent years reporting on Elon Musk's business practices and sees his disastrous early stewardship of Twitter as par for the course.

Joshua Holland kicks this week's show off with a rant about the over-the-top coverage of Liz Cheney's easily predicted primary defeat in a party that has become slavishly devoted to Dear Leader--coverage that pushed a generational effort to combat climate change off of the front page. And then we'll be joined by Sarah Posner, whose beat is the religious right. Sarah has been monitoring the disturbing reaction to the FBI's low-key execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago in the Evangelical Christian media, which has featured a mishmash of conspiracy theories, whataboutism and calls for retribution.

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a look at the dangerous but also totally ridiculous tantrum the entire right is throwing in response to a search warrant being executed at Mar-a-Lago--and the Republican propaganda that's fueling it.Then we are joined by journalist and legal analyst Marcy Wheeler to talk about the overlapping investigations that appear to be closing in on Trump and his inner circle and to give her best estimate of what the FBI's action at Mar-a-Lago might portend. And then we have some rare good news as David Roberts from Volts tells us why the climate provisions of the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act represent a game-changer not only for the country but perhaps for the planet.

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a look at the rapidly-expanding scandal surrounding security officials scrubbing their texts from the January 6 coup attempt. Then we're joined by Salon's Amanda Marcotte to talk about the Kansas abortion referendum--an earthquake that shook the religious right and may have given Democrats a roadmap for beating back the authoritarian right's assaults on our liberties.Finally, we speak with Jackson Hurley, political director for Voters of Tomorrow, about what inspires and worries young voters--and whether they will turn out for the 2022 midterms.

This week, we embrace a rare good week in America!Joshua Holland kicks off the show looking at a new study which found that the sanctions regime enacted against Russia by Ukraine's allies is doing much more damage to Vladimir Putin's economy than many observers believe. Then we speak with WaPo's Paul Waldman about the surprising deal on climate and prescription drug prices that West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced this week. Democrats' chances of holding control of Congress in November were already looking a lot better before the announcement. Will this prove a game-changer? And then we are joined by historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, to talk about the January 6 Committee hearings and a bunch of new reporting that reveals that Trump and those in his inner circle may not be above the law after all.
This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show looking at a new analysis of Americans' average life expectancy, which declined in 2021 for the second year in a row. There are some interesting demographic details to that story, which follows other public health analyses that revealed a growing life expectancy-gap between red and blue states. Then we're joined by Thomas Zimmer, a historian at George Washington University, who argues that while there is a consensus among experts that American democracy is teetering on the brink of collapse, that reality is being obscured by outdated journalistic standards, Democratic leaders desperately trying to restore a bygone status quo and widespread belief in right-wing propaganda painting progressives as extreme.
