Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Tomasky

Donald Trump's losses are mounting. His border czar just announced a large drawdown of federal agents in Minnesota after protests turned public opinion. Job creation during Trump's first year was worse than previously known. The country is losing manufacturing jobs. Trump is a weak and failing president—and there are now signs that Democrats are acting like it. But couldn't they do more to seize the moment? Yes! The New Republic has a special issue online right now that's full of pieces laying out the way forward. Today's guest is TNR editor Michael Tomasky, author of the lead piece explaining how Democrats can become more aggressive and effective. We discuss the true nature of Trump's weakness, why Democrats face a crossroads rivaling the New Deal and Civil Rights eras, and how that offers them uncommon challenges and opportunities. We also discuss Emily Cooke's writeup of our poll of rank-and-file Democrats, as well as pieces by Alex Shephard, Perry Bacon, and your faithful podcast host.

Part 1:We talk with Michael Tomasky, editor, The New Republic.We discuss Trump's work against the Western Alliance (NATO and associated countries).

Prof. lf Law, Seattle School of Law.We discuss the extensive use of the "shadow docket" of the Supreme Court to make its rulings, favoring Trump.

Through her sharp and biting political commentary—whether as host of the podcast Fast Politics, as a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, or as a political analyst on MSNBC—Molly Jong-Fast has, over the past decade, become something of a household name. But, as the daughter of the once-famous author and second-wave feminist Erica Jong—whose 1973 novel Fear of Flying catapulted her into the literary limelight—she has actually been in the public eye for much longer, decades before this more recent notoriety of her own making. Jong-Fast's latest book, the searing, heartbreaking (but also, at times, hilarious) memoir How to Lose Your Mother, is in some sense an effort to take her story back after being in the shadow of her narcissistic, too often out-of-reach mother for so long. It's also a book about aging and frailty, and an extremely difficult, gut-wrenching year: In 2023, Erica was diagnosed with dementia, right around the same time that Molly's husband learned he had a rare cancer.On the episode, Jong-Fast talks about her own actual fear of flying, in addition to her mother's book of the same name; 27 years of sobriety and how her time in A.A. has transformed her life; and the importance of confronting the vicissitudes of aging and one's passage through time.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Molly Jong-Fast[4:28] “Fear of Flying” (1973)[4:28] Erica Jong[4:49] “How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter's Memoir”[7:53] “Spartacus” (1951)[7:53] “April Morning” (1961)[7:53] “The Immigrants” (1977)[9:15] Lee Krasner[10:04] Susan Faludi[10:04] “Backlash” (1991)[12:09] “Fear and Flying Erica & Erotica in Connecticut” (1980)[12:09] “Fanny” (1980)[14:57] Marty Seif[18:26] Special Guest: Erica Jong (2023)[19:39] Pan Am Flight 001[21:11] “The Year of Magical Thinking” (2005)[21:11] “Notes to John” (2025)[26:54] “The Sex Doctors in the Basement” (2005)[36:46] “Normal Girl” (2000)[38:52] Jacob Bernstein[38:52] Carl Bernstein[38:52] Stalin Peace Prize[46:05] Michael Tomasky[48:55] Hazelden[49:57] “How Molly Jong-Fast Tweeted Her Way to Liberal Media Stardom”

We discuss the prison, which is private, and its conditions. We also discuss the environment there and the local economy's dependence on this private prison.

Harry talks with Michael Tomasky, Editor of the New Republic, about his article, “Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?” Tomasky digs beneath the demographic information about increased Hispanic voters or concerns about immigration to explain the pivotal fact that vast fractions of the electorate – roughly those who voted for Trump – had a false narrative fed to them by right-wing media, which has become more powerful than legacy media in this country (owing in part to the decline of legacy media), and, far more importantly, speaks in one voice and has a hammerlock on the attention of nearly half the country. Tomasky delineates the strategic genesis and rise of right-wing media, tracing it to huge contributions from right wing forces, whereas the left's high rollers chiefly contribute to specific causes. Tomasky posits that the right-wing media will not be satisfied with its notable successes but will aim for full domination, and sounds a warning bell for the left to appreciate and respond to the immense political force.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Part 1:We talk with Michael Tomasky, editor of The New Republic.We discuss the levels of cheating associated with the Republicans during elections. Apparently, Trump has outsourced a lot of his campaign to billionaires, who want to continue the flow of money to themselves. The media seems fascinated with Trump voters, as opposed to ordinary people. We talk about 'fast fascism'.Part 2:We talk with Prof. Jonathan Feingold of Boston University, as part of our continuing series of Race Class.RaceClass Episode 35 | Project 2025s Fight to Save Cancer AlleyWe discuss Cancer Alley, an 85-mile stretch between Baton Rouge and New Orleans that contains one of the largest concentrations of fossil fuel and petrochemical operations in theWestern Hemisphere. These facilities expose nearby residents, who disproportionately Black, to toxic pollutants and severe health harms including elevated burdens and risks of cancer, reproductive, maternal, and newborn health harms, respiratory ailments. Louisiana state agencies and the federal government have long failed to mitigate or remedy these harms. In 2022, multiple local community groups filed complaints with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that alleged Louisiana's failure to address these harms violated Title VI by subjecting Black residents to ongoing disproportionate and adverse health and environmental impacts. These complaints prompted the EPA to investigate. In response, Louisiana sued the federal government. Specifically, the state argued that it was unlawful for the EPA or the Department of Justice to enforce Title VIs disparate impact regulations. Why? Because doing so forces the state to consider race. According to Louisiana, having to consider a policy's racial impact is just another form of racial discrimination. If that hostility to disparate impact sounds familiar, it might be because it also appears in Project 2025, the Heritage Foundations playbook for a possible Trump presidency. Earlier this year, a Trump-appointed district judge sided with Louisiana. To justify a ruling that deprives Cancer Alleys residents of any legal relief, Judge Cain stated the following: The public interest here is that governmental agencies abide by its laws, and treat all of its citizens equally, without considering race. To be sure, if a decision maker has to consider race, to decide, it has indeed participated in racism.Jonathan FeingoldAssociate Professor of LawBoston University School of Lawjfeingol@bu.edu|#RaceClass Podcast|researchWNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic: David Rovics, "Time to Act", for Will Von Sproson

Part 1:We speak with Michael Tomasky, Editor of the New Republic.We discuss the debate between Harris and Trump. Harris had a total of 37 minutes, and Trump had 42 minutes. Harris won the debate. The focus should now be on Vance, because it is unlikely that Trump will want to debate again.Part 2:We speak with Anders Croy, Communications Director of Florida Watch.Florida is the ground where Project 2025 is being implemented, with disastrous results. We discuss what the results are. In county races, most candidates supported by DeSantis performed very poorly in the primaries. However the "election police" are harassing voters who support reforms. Their visits to voters' homes can be viewed as voter intimidation. This is true government weaponization, because the agency is funded by the state.We also discuss the candidacy of Robinson, who is supported by DeSantis in his run for NC governor.  Robinson's remarks about abortion and women (after having paid for his wife's abortion), "people who need killing", and others seem to indicate that the Republican party has become completely irrational in supporting him.WNHNFM.ORG  production

We've lived in the shadow of trickle-down economics for over 40 years. During that time, our leaders unquestioningly embraced economic policies that prioritize the wealthiest and most powerful, with the idea that their wealth will eventually “trickle down” to everyone else.Of course, that wealth never has trickled down. Thankfully, our economic understanding has finally started to shift. This has been a landmark year in passing middle-out economic policies that prioritize the vast majority of working Americans over the wealthy few. In a future episode we'll be discussing the middle-out research and policies that are making a real difference in people's lives, thereby changing the way we think about economic cause and effect. But before we look ahead to the glorious middle-out future, it's important to revisit the history of middle-out economics via a conversation with journalist Michael Tomasky, author of a recent book detailing the rise of progressive economics in the United States. This episode originally aired on October 18, 2022 Michael Tomasky is a journalist and author. He's top editor of The New Republic.

Just when you thought Donald Trump couldn't get any worse, new revelations prove Trump was even worse than we thought, according to hosts Molly Jong-Fast and Andy Levy on this episode of The New Abnormal. Also on the podcast, Michael Tomasky, editor of The New Republic as well as Democracy Journal and author of the new book, The Middle Out: The Rise of Progressive Economics and a Return to Shared Prosperity, talks about how the Democrats can shape their message around progressive politics to win. (Tomasky is also a former special correspondent and editor at the Daily Beast.) Then, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) talks about her reelection bid and her wacky opponent, Adam Laxalt.
