  • Finally someone talks about Johnson’s “woman” problem

    This has been the case since he forced out Cathy McMorris-Rogers by refusing to pass her signature legislation. He’s undermined women in leadership right and left. No body is reporting on this and Republican women are likely only to speak off-the-record.

  • Misses many insider points

    This podcast is 100% left leaning so it is good to hear the Democrat strategies when the host “debates” a Republican rather than interview him that tells it all. mention Schumer's gamble of assigning Chris Murphy to “negotiate” with Republicans and to NOT mention that Chris Murphy is a radical anti-gun and pro-confiscation advocate is terribly misleading and leaves the audience with the wrong impression that the Dems are actually trying to get an agreement. Then you focus on the right who used... more

  • Retired

    Love your show, I listen every morning while brushing my teeth :-) even tho I no longer live in DC. Making a comment about Ally's Maine review. Farmington is not considered outside of Portland, it's in rural western Maine, second district. And Bangor is not considered northernmost, that be Presque Isle Maine. The real political and cultural divides are between coastal Maine (elites, usually Dems) and inland/western/northern ME, (lots of Trump and MAGA signs). Might want to talk to a few Mainiacs... more

  • Jake, stop

    Liz Truss? Seriously? Please don’t suggest you’re a policy person. Just report the news from the inside. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fly Out Day: Inside the funding fight with Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto
Q: What is different about this moment compared to past negotiations?
The urgency is due to recent events related to homeland security and calls for accountability in law enforcement.
Readback: Congress’ Copenhagen course-correction
Q: What does the anti-American sentiment look like in Denmark?
It includes protests and an app for consumers to avoid American-made products, and everyday citizens are aware and sensitive to America's political crises and their implications.
Readback: Congress’ Copenhagen course-correction
Q: Talk to me about what you experienced on the ground in Copenhagen?
I experienced a unique and surreal situation where underpinning tensions about President Trump's rhetoric on Greenland were palpable. The delegation reassured our allies, but they were skeptical based on Congress's decreased power and the current political dynamics.
Fly Out Day: Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar on the frontlines of the funding fight
Q: How do you see the election between that push and pull between the anti-Trump and like a proactive message?
You have to do both. Each candidate needs to tell their own story and articulate their reasons for being in Congress.
Fly Out Day: Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar on the frontlines of the funding fight
Q: Do you feel like the Appropriations Committee is a place where people are working in good faith?
In general, yes. Members get along with each other, which is helpful to the process.
