Adrienne, Julie, and Gina return from the hiatus to lament all of the developments from the past two weeks, such as Jubilee platforming fascists during Mehdi Hasan’s appearance on “Surrounded”, Hunter Biden’s interesting interview, the continued relevance of the Epstein files, a scandalous Coldplay concert, and George Santos on Tucker Carlson. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow are outraising Haley Stevens (while she is accepting corporate PAC money) and Matt Maddock says that gove...
Gina, Julie, and Adrienne dive into this week of news through the lens of weaponized incompetence to understand MAGA falling for Trump’s promises on the Epstein files, former Medicaid recipients replacing undocumented labor, Elon Musk turning Grok into a Nazi, DTE’s plot to control state politics, and two terrible opinion pieces in the Detroit News.

Gina and Julie are joined by Producer Norris to discuss Ted Nugent testifying in the Michigan House, Kristi Noem and John James visiting Detroit and what it means for the "northern border". A potential war with Iran could be brewing and a Congressperson sends the show a message. Lastly the massive win secured by Zohran Mamdani in New York City could be the blueprint for progressives across the nation. Will the Democratic party learn from this or stifle any further efforts from Democratic Sociali...

Matt Hall took the GOP caucus to Trump’s sad military parade with less than two weeks left to finish the state budget.

The bromance between Elon and Trump is over as the oligarch leaves DOGE and the White House. But Elon first had to let the world know exactly how he felt about the "Big Beautiful Bill". Also, technocrats are coming for your data as Peter Theil's Palantir is asked to make a massive Federal surveillance system that's basically Big Brother.

In this latest episode of the Point of Disorder, the team is joined by Producer Norris as they discuss why the Democratic Party is spending millions on searching for influencers. In particular, a liberal "Joe Rogan" that can help decode Gen Z males. Also, Donald Trump took the time between hosting crypto dinners and bullying Harvard to lament about his trophy wives to West Point graduates. There's Macron getting slapped by his wife, busted tailbones and so much more on this episode of Point of D...
This week, we’re serving up hot takes worth biting into — and some catered chicken that definitely isn’t. Trust us, come for the commentary, not the buffet. We get into the messy mistakes Democrats and the media keep making, pull back the curtain on the GOP’s so-called “Big Beautiful Murder Bill,” and ask why Kristi Noem is pitching a Hunger Games-style reality show for immigrants (yes, really). Meanwhile, Michigan’s legislature is busy doing... absolutely nothing. With rights on the chopping bl...
This week on Point of Disorder, we celebrate a hard-fought win for reproductive rights in Michigan—one more barrier down, thanks to people power. But while we’re gaining ground, Republicans are out here trying to snatch healthcare from 2.6 million Michiganders with a brutal budget that guts Medicaid. Meanwhile, Trump is promising Bernie-style drug price reforms (lol, sure), and his shady private jet hookup from Qatar has us wondering: if we were petty authoritarians, what luxury bribes would we ...
In this episode, we sit down with Michigan State Representative Natalie Price to talk about the viral moment that had everyone talking—when she took to the House floor and called out MAGA lawmakers for wasting time on symbolic nonsense like renaming the Gulf of Mexico instead of passing real legislation to support maternal health.
Gina and Julie discuss the ascension of the world's first American Pope, Leo XIV. They talk about how his life and opinions could temper the Catholic world politically. As the Pontiff, Pope Leo had multiple opinions that brought him in direct opposition with the religious right of the Western World. Will the "Woke Pope" have any effect on the rise of fascism globally?
On this week of Point of Disorder, the Michigan GOP continues to fan the flames of bigotry in Lansing. Meanwhile, a number of crypto booms centered around Trump have raised questions about the integrity of administration. Also, the team give updates on Gaza and just how bad the tariff situation may get by summer's end.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed joins us to talk about public health in the Trump era—gutted agencies, rising disinformation from RFK Jr., and what real leadership looks like. As the only Senate candidate in Michigan to back universal healthcare, we ask: will he sign on to the new 2025 Medicare for All Act?
Donald Trump flew into Michigan this week to celebrate his so-called "Golden Era"—but the only thing golden was the empty seats at his rally. Protesters outnumbered attendees as he tried to take credit for years-in-the-making airbase funding and pretended to care about Michigan. We break down the promises he’s kept (hint: it’s the bad ones) and the long list of broken ones he hopes you’ll forget. Plus: as tariffs jack up the price of everything from sneakers to skincare, we ask—how are we suppos...
Today we sat down with two powerhouse union leaders from the heart of our federal environmental workforce: Tricia Edwards, president of AFGE Local 3907 at the EPA lab in Ann Arbor, and Nicole Marie, a fired NOAA employee and union member of AFGE 3908 at the Great Lakes Lab. They’re speaking to us today not as bureaucrats, but as union members—sounding the alarm about how the Trump administration’s so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" DODGE is dismantling the agencies tasked with keepi...
In this episode, we go behind the so-called “efficiency” of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to examine the devastating impact of Trump’s austerity agenda on the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense. We’re joined by Zed Brown, president of AFGE Local 1658 representing the Department of Defense civilian workers, and LP Robert Malosh, 2092 VA Ann Arbor. Speaking as union representatives, they share firsthand accounts of how the administration’s decision to lay...
This week on Point of Disorder, we’re breaking down David Hogg’s plan to take on the do-nothing Democrats in 2026—and why the political establishment should be nervous. Michigan’s Senate race is heating up, with three wildly different candidates: a progressive challenger, a rising star, and a corporate centrist trying to buy their way through. We dig into why Mayor Mike Duggan wants to roll out the red carpet for Elon Musk at the Detroit Auto Show, and check in with guest host Chantel Watkins on...
This week on Point of Disorder , we’re talking about the constitutional crisis that’s no longer looming—it’s kicking down the damn door. The Trump admin is ignoring Supreme Court orders, locking up dissidents, and making “getting black-bagged” feel like a legit concern. We unpack what it means when your government stops pretending to follow the law—and we get real about what our plans are if they decide to come for us next. Spoiler: we’re not going quietly. Also on deck: Whatever the heck that w...
Steve Newman, eight time start-up founder (including the company that would become Google Docs) and AI guru joins us to chat about the future of AI.

Steve sets the record straight on it all. If you want to learn more about Steve and his work with AI, head over to his Substack!
In this unfiltered episode of Point of Disorder, Adrienne finally opens her 401k for the first time since Trump torched the economy—and yep, it’s just as bleak as you think. We’re also diving into Trump’s latest tariff tantrum and how Trump is weaponizing immigration—not just to rile up his base, but to censor the truth, silence dissent with our friend Sergio Martinez.
In this episode, we talk with Sergio Martinez — longtime Detroit immigration activist and all-around badass — about the government’s escalating attacks on immigrant communities. From the repeal of protections in schools and hospitals to the erasure of deportation priorities, Sergio explains how everyone is now a target. He also shares how Michigan’s immigrant families are coping and what you can do to support them. To learn more about how you can support immigrant communities in Michigan, visit:...
