Not Today Satan: A Conversation with Democracy’s Secret Weapon Skye Perryman
If people are wondering where the pushback to the nightmare of the Trump administration is, it’s in the courts. In the absence of executive leadership, and with the abandonment of of legislative leadership, the judicial branch has gone from democracy’s last line of defense to it’s first. In fact, there are lawyers and activists working day and night to hold off the worst instincts of presidency. As Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman says, “The most powerful tool the Trump administration has is to convince us we have no power, but it’s not true. There are people fighting everyday, not just to hold off the worst decisions, but to continue to move us forward towards something better.”
Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find. Help create a counterweight to the lies and propaganda by supporting the show and SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium. You’ll get this podcast ad free, the rants directly to your inbox, and the knowledge that you’re making this kind of highly researched, factual information possible.

Who’s in Charge of this Shit Show? A Conversation with Simon Rosenberg
Trump’s first cabinet meeting was basically run by Elon. Republicans voted for a budget that would cut Medicaid and SNAP to ensure billionaires get even more money. Republican representatives are choosing to forego town halls after realizing they can’t answer for their party’s actions. Trump put out the disgusting Trump Gaza video and showed the world America is now Russia’s ally in the Oval Office. So, how do we look at all this and still have hope? Well that’s why we’re talking to Simon Rosenberg the author of Hopium Chronicles. To see what we can do to not only protect our country, but protect ourselves.

Go Home America, You’re Drunk: A Conversation with Michael Steele
America is a hot mess, but you wouldn’t know it listening to legacy media. Which is why our guest, Michael Steele, former RNC Chair and co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend, was such a breath of fresh air when he let loose saying people need to start giving a damn and wake the hell up. It’s time we accept that our county is under attack, so we can start doing something about it. Join us to discuss the chaos that we’re living through with a bunch of salt and a little sugar, because if you don’t laugh these days, you’re fucked.

Remaking the Democrats: A Conversation with DNC Chair, Ken Martin
On the campaign trail for DNC chair Ken Martin said the Democrats need a work horse not a show pony and, now that he has the job, he’s being clear the ultimate goal is to win - to beat back this horrible, far right extremist Republican Party so the party can start making real change from a place of power. Join us as we discuss how he plans to do that.
The mainstream media is a joke. Our country’s under attack and they aren’t even talking about it. Now, more than ever, we need to support those of us doing independent work bringing the public the truth when it’s increasingly difficult to find.

What’s the End Game Here? A Conversation with Jessica Mackler, President of Emily’s List
Stripping women of their rights has never been about one specific issue. It’s always been about control, and how you exercise control over women. But this war on women won’t just stop with us. Project 2025, which is being implemented line by line is about remaking society so it aligns better with one specific set of far right, nationalistic, religious values. The target is moving one, and these actions if not opposed, will end up harming everyone, because once you allow the government to strip one group of their freedoms, you inevitably open the door for them to strip everyone of their freedoms. That’s simply how it works.

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo
