PLEASE do more with your platform. We The People who ARE the majority MUST shut this insanity down. What that actually looks like are MASSIVE LABOR STRIKES. WE control the power of the purse & WE must take it back.

Quasim, consider having Dr. Erica Chenoweth on your podcast & have her talk about what resistance looks like. The 3.5% rule works at STOPPING fascists. We DON'T have to suffer this. There won't be elections to fix this if we don't fight HARDER!

This is the first time I have listened to your show! What a breath of fresh air! I am a 63 year old white woman, but I have been thrilled by what Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Chris Murphy, Jamie Raskin have been doing and saying. Things need to change, it’s time to the welcome the next generation in and let them fight the way it needs to be done now! Our Country is being destroyed every day, there is no time to waste! Your message needs to be honed and shortened for those with short attention spans so they can hear what you are saying!! The last 5-10 minutes of your conversation with your guest seemed to resonate most for me. Than you for all that you are doing!

Honored and thank you, Carrie!

I’m lucky to have Maxwell Frost as my rep whom Elon is threatening to primary. We need more Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Jamie Raskin, Chris Murphy. Need to sideline Schumer, Jeffries if they can’t muster the outrage that 75m people feel. They represent us - they should start acting like it or we should primary all of them.

Don't even get me started on Hakeem Jeffries; what a disappointment! In 2023-2024, his top donations were $703,885 from AIPAC, $79,875 from Blackrock, and $73,185 from Lockheed Martin. In Tim Walz's run, his top contributors were $5,000 from 9 PACs, including the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Credit Union National Association, and Land O' Lakes (dairy farmers in Minnesota and Wisconsin). A little bit of a difference? We need Walz and Omar to lead the fight against the fascist nation Trump and the MAGA minions are building!

I too am disappointed in Jeffries. Saying that we have no leverage against this corruption?!!! We have ourselves! We need to exercise it! Join a union, protest, write your congressperson---

We are rehashing water under the bridge. I thing our energy would be better used to look forward and come up with how to use our energy going forward to resist Trump in turning the USA into a full fledged fascist country.

It's not "water under the bridge" when

1. we're still drowning under those terrible policies

2. those terrible polices haven't changed, which ensures perpetual injustice

We need meaningful change in policy and in leadership. Because the leaders who got us into this mess don't have the capacity to get us out of this mess.

Would you please provide a transcript? I find it much easier and faster to extract information in written form than by listening to audio, which is too slow for me. You could reach a larger audience that way.

The transcript is available at the top of the page -- look for the "Transcript" button right under the main image.

I am so relieved that I am not the only one who thinks the Democrats have moved too far center and need to get back to our base of the working poor, POC and the marginalized. I am not willing to throw anyone under the bus for power and yet that is what is happening/happened. When will the DNC wake up and listen?

Yep 100% agrees

Cory Bush and Jamal Bowman, the future who stood up for voters and spoke for the defeated progressive agenda, were defeated in the primaries by the senile old guard welcome home fascists, from Jeffries to Pelosi, who increased police funding because they hate their base, and love the Manchin Sinema axis against the filibuster and an expanded court. There is no hope in the lesser evil of hate.

Blue slip all nominees. Michigan, immediately increase the threshold for automatic full paper audits. And never again use any voting machine that relates with the same software that was compromised by the thefts and GOP unauthorized access. Look at Michigan billionaire Trump supporters to how they finance and enable these things.. it’s called Hardening, but the reason that the cheaters won this time is because the calculated code switches votes or added code plus minus votes in smaller counties was done incrementally and ensured barely above legal limit for recount. If you increase it to 5 percent… it will be impossible in all but two of your cities to cheat. They cannot fake 5 percent without your actual in and out numbers… so harden your systems by buying the most up to date or internally performing an update right before the election.. look at the hacker conference in Las Vegas’ methods, it is essential… also the code switch that produces the “Russian tail may not turn on until 400 votes are recorded in a location… so auditing must be precisely after the first 400 for anomalies to be found… read and watch the BBC and YouTube videos on this anomaly in Michigan. Also enact a law while you can that all audits must be binding and before the certification

It seems that many Democrats are urging their representatives to fight back harder, but they seem to be asking how.

THAT AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN !

OPPOSE ALMOST EVERY DAMN THING THE REOUBLICANS PROPOSE.

USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TRICK THAT IS IN, OR OUT OF, THE BOOK

STOP ACTING LIKE HIS MAJESTY'S LOYAL OPPOSITION.
