Podcast appearances and mentions of Stacey Abrams

In two weeks, millions of Americans will be voting — but a Supreme Court case could change elections as we know them. Last week, the court heard arguments in Louisiana vs. Callais, a case that centers on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Basically, the court is deciding whether or not states can use race to draw voting maps — and depending on what it decides, it could give Republicans the ability to eliminate at least six majority-minority districts and land about a dozen more seats in the House of Representatives. So we spoke to Stacey Abrams about the court's deliberations. She's the Host of Crooked Media's Assembly Required and a New York Times Bestselling Author. And in headlines, Trump signs a critical minerals deal with the Prime Minister of Australia, universities publicly reject the Trump administration's “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, aka “Mad Mike,” yearns to be happy again as the shutdown heads into week three.Show Notes:Check out Coded Justice – https://tinyurl.com/3yx73h78Watch Assembly Required – https://tinyurl.com/4nv3uzatCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this edition of Political Breakfast, we discuss the specter of the No Kings Protest in Atlanta. Thousands turned out and actually PEACEFULLY protested Trump-era politics. Many high-profile speakers addressed enthusiastic crowds. One in particular was two-time Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. She's been quiet lately. Does her taking the podium signal she's ready to take on the political spotlight again? Executive Director of the Atlanta Civic Circle Saba Long, who is in for Democratic Strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican Strategist Brian Robinson, shared their thoughts with host Lisa Rayam See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I wanted to give a lot of my platform today to voices from the Atlanta "No Kings Day" event, from local grassroots activists like Dom Kelly of the New Disabled South to Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock and Stacey Abrams. There was also appearances from former state senator Jason Esteves and Atlanta City Council Presidential candidate Rohit Mahlotra.------There's also this: the Atlanta Journal Constitution profiled Ashley Merchant, the attorney central in the exposing of the Fani Willis / Nathan Wade coupling that formed the basis for Trump co-conspirators' 'conflict of interest' claims (not that a conflict even existed ...). There's just something gross about the legal profession when this is something journalism would laud. Not sorry to say so. ------MAGAs and their unintended consequences ... an Augusta conservative talk radio host posted a close-up, zoomed in photo of someone wearing blue gym shorts. Clearly we were looking at someone's genital "bulge," but have no idea whose, but in the post, host Austin Rhodes wrote "There have been more scholarship players with ding-dongs on the Augusta University Women's Volleyball Team, than there have been KINGS in the U.S. government."Never mind the pivot from "No Kings Day" and its historic precedent; no, as right wing pundits are wont to do, Austin felt the need to play "hey, look over here! Back to banging on trans people!" game with his audience. The problem is, he didn't make it clear the alleged trans athlete no longer plays at the local university, but only after his followers openly stated they'd be uh "scrutinizing" the current roster. That poor girl, named "Hunter," with her ample shoulders and thighs. Oops. ------My guest today: Amir Badat, Fair Fight's senior policy advisor and southern states director, to weigh in on the looming evisceration of Section of the Voting Rights' Act by the U.S. Supreme Court. Also, his Fair Fight co-hort Max Flugrath, shared on social media a 2019 New Yorker piece that brought attention to the "master of modern Republican gerrymandering." A timely look back as the intent of the VRA is set to be done away with by a Trump-packed Supreme Court.

Pastor Joshua talks about the moment we are in with it's authoritarian creep as well as the new programming the Unitarian Universalist Association has introduced to "Meet the Moment."

This week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments about the last remaining section of the Voting Rights Act, a civil rights law designed to ensure that states could not get in the way of nonwhite citizens voting.

This week on the pod, we are so excited to share wisdom from the one and only Stacey Abrams. The legendary organizer (and author and entrepreneur and state representative and candidate for governor and Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan…) joined Red Wine & Blue last week for a virtual event. She was so inspiring that we just had to share her words with our podcast listeners too.Katie and Stacey discussed the 10 Steps to Authoritarianism (spoiler: we've hit them all) but more importantly, they also talked about Stacey's 10 Steps to Freedom and Power. It's not just about reclaiming the country that they've been breaking for the past nine months. It's about building a country that's so strong and so just that this could never have happened in the first place.She emphasized that personal relationships and community-building are the foundation on which we build that strong and free country. None of us can do it alone. All we have to do is ask, “how can I help?” and find a few friends to join in.Tune in to hear Stacey's brilliance, what's been making Katie and LaFonda lose their shit lately, our self-care tip of the week, and more.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

It's election day in Georgia's 21st Senate district and Democrat Debra Shigley has enjoyed a lot of support for her campaign to wrest a red-leaning suburban Atlanta enclave from the GOP.High-profile names like Senator Jon Ossoff, Representative Lucy McBath, former gubernatorial (at least we believe she's still 'just' a former candidate, for now) Stacey Abrams, DNC chair Ken Martin, current (Democrat and ...) gubernatorial candidate Geoff Duncan, one of his combatants in former Senator Jason Esteves ... the list is long and diverse, ideologically.I caught up with Debra Monday to discuss all of that and what's at stake and how the campaign has been affected by the national rift in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination.------Time for a postmortem of sorts on the would-be ascendency of one Fani Willis, embattled Fulton County District Attorney who allowed her personal life (as did Nathan Wade; let's not forget his role in this) to derail the biggest case in her career, and one that might've derailed a second Trump presidential campaign - and all that wound up bringing to this nation's doorstep since. It's not fair to blame her for his re-election, but it is fair to question her and Wade's inability to understand the moment was bigger than they were able to navigate professionally.

September 20, 2025; 9am:the U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned under pressure, after Trump said he wanted him "out" over his refusal to bring criminal charges related to alleged mortgage fraud against New York Attorney General Letitia James. It comes as the administration is also planning to take action against left-wing groups the president and his allies claim have contributed to political unrest and violence. Stacey Abrams joins The Weekend to discuss how the administration is conducting its retribution campaign and what it could mean for the president's political adversaries.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnbcTikTok: @theweekendmsnbcTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.

The Fitzgerald Theater was filled to the rafters Wednesday night for the season launch of Talking Volumes. Activist and novelist Stacey Abrams joined Kerri Miller on stage and began the evening with a moment of silence to mark the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, who had been shot and killed only hours earlier. Abrams, herself a national political figure, said dark moments such as these need to be met with determined unity — to stand for and with one another. She got those values from her parents, she said, who always emphasized the need to be in church, in school and in service to others. She also reflected on how failure has worked in her life as a catalyst for growth and how books have led her to develop a deep moral consciousness. It's no surprise to readers who love her novels — including “Coded Justice,” the latest thriller in the Avery Keene series, which finds Avery relying on her friends to investigate the morally murky world of AI-powered medicine. Abram's books are filled with memorable characters who exhibit the same kind of determination and hope that Abram's embodies. Don't miss Abram's warm and inspiring conversation with Kerri Miller, rounded out by the musical styles of Minneapolis' own Lady Midnight, as the 2025 Talking Volumes season begins.And get your tickets for future shows, which include Patricia Lockwood on Sept. 25, Misty Copeland on Sept. 28, John Grisham on Oct. 23 and Kate Baer on Nov. 17.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as President Trump cracks down on crime in major cities, the left is labeling his efforts as political and racial.

Stacey Abrams is a renowned political leader, lawyer, author, and advocate for equity and justice.

Beyond politics and books, she is a powerful speaker and founder of several organizations advocating for inclusion and systemic reform.

The Democratic Party has lost millions of voters since 2020, according to new analysis from the New York Times. Meanwhile, Republicans are gaining ground, even in traditional blue states, as more voters register with the GOP.“We're missing layups on the basics right now,” says longtime Democratic strategist Nina Smith, alarmed by the news. “We're losing on voter registration in 30 states — the only 30 states that track voter registration between parties. We're losing in every single one.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, Smith, a former senior adviser to Stacey Abrams with more than two decades in Democratic politics, joined host Jessica Washington to explain why the party keeps failing at the fundamentals — like voter registration, building the base, and party infrastructure — while Donald Trump consolidates power despite record-high disapproval ratings.“Voter registration is like the layup of Democratic basketball politics,” says Smith. “How do we expect to win elections if we're not registering voters who are committed to us on our issues?” Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Tara and Lee claim to have found two major signs of Democrat desperation. First, they report that 1.5 million illegal immigrants have "self-deported," attributing this to a new program that offers a free flight and a $1,000 bonus to those who voluntarily leave. In response, they argue, a federal judge has ordered the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center to be shut down and destroyed to prevent its use for deportations. Second, Tara and Lee discuss an ongoing investigation into a massive financial scandal. They claim that the EPA, under the previous administration, funneled $20 billion in taxpayer money to politically aligned NGOs and "pass-through entities." The hosts describe this as outright "theft" and "fraud" meant to fund Democratic campaigns. They interpret a recent video from Stacey Abrams as a sign that she is scared and is anticipating an indictment related to this alleged crime.

The Hysteria team is off this week. But we're excited to bring you a recent episode of Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams.In the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, we've watched Republicans erode American democracy with alarming speed. While this political moment may feel unprecedented, it isn't new. America has dealt its share of far-right movements, fascist provocateurs, and anti-democratic threats. But time and again, heroes have risen to meet those moments. In this episode, Stacey unpacks how we've fought fascism before – and won. She's joined by the host of MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism.Subscribe to Assembly Required wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
