    This Administration is a Joke: A Conversation with Timothy Snyder

    2026-06-16 | 53 mins.
    America is a wreck. The question is what are we going to do about it? As today’s guest, Timothy Snyder reminds us, every action we take, every group we join, every act of resistance we partake in, no matter how small, will help. That while the people in charge are doing everything possible to collapse American power and could be wildly successful, they could also fail spectacularly, and it’s up to us to convince people of that. We can’t keep thinking this man is irresistible, inevitable, or untouchable. He’s not even smart, and the choices he’s making are hurting us. We need a broad coalition to stand against what’s going on and then we need to start imagining what our country could be if we changed leadership.

    Never Ending Election Lies: A Conversation with Marc Elias

    2026-06-09 | 59 mins.
    Donald Trump and the Republicans, with an assist from the Supreme Court, seem willing to do anything they can to make sure they retain power in 26, regardless of the will of the voters. That why what’s happening with the voter fraud narrative in California isn’t just sour grapes, but a disinformation wave growing to build a case that votes can’t be trusted, that they need a national list, that they must have the SAVE Act, that we have to abandon drop boxes, mail in voting, and counting votes after election day. It’s not about limiting fraud. It’s about limiting votes. And you have to ask yourself what kind of government works this hard to limit votes?

    Pass the Torch! : A Conversation with Run for Something’s Amanda Litman

    2026-06-02 | 47 mins.
    We can no longer wait to be saved. It’s time to step up and save ourselves because Democratic leadership isn’t going to do it - if anything they need to be encouraged to pass the torch, because at the end of the day voters don’t vote for policy or even party, they vote for candidates they believe in. We need to be electing those people to local and state office now, so we have them in the wings for federal office later. Run For Something’s Amanda Litman reminds us not to give up hope. That what we’re dealing with is bad, and fighting back will be hard, but it’s not impossible and, if we do it right, we can change everything.

    We’re Giving These Guys Money?! : A Conversation about the Presidential Slush Fund with Liz Oyer

    2026-05-26 | 49 mins.
    Liz Oyer talks to us about the president’s outrageous corruption and the complete distain he and his allies have for the American people and the rule of law. This billion dollar slush fund of taxpayer money his own personal lawyer has created for him along with the addition of total immunity from the IRS to ever hold him, his businesses, or his family accountable for tax evasion in perpetuity, has to have even president’s most ardent supporters questioning what’s going on.

    Can We Vote Our Way Out of This? : A Conversation with Authoritarian Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat

    2026-05-19 | 52 mins.
    Ruth Ben Ghiat reminds us that unless we want America to become a white, christian ethno-state, we need to be engaging now. Now is the best time as the administration sets everything on fire and people start to feel the pain. According to Ruth, we’re actually ahead of the curve in terms of resistance, so we need ramp it up, if anything overcompensate with positive action. Autocrats want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we’re not. Getting out of this mess is going to be an uphill battle, but it’s not a lost cause. In fact, if we play our cards right, we might even be able to build something way better than we had before.

About The PoliticsGirl Podcast
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
