Trump escalates his crackdown: unveiling a new directive on so-called "left-wing terrorism," to put puts thousands of FBI and other agents to work to domestic terrorism watchlist.

We’ve been promised a new American Baby Boom by a man who wears diapers and calls himself president, but the plan isn’t going well. Trump has surrounded himself with yet another cluster of weirdos: the pronatalists. Pronatalists claim they are concerned with population decline despite no evidence of population decline. They claim their movement isn’t racist despite openly talking about ‘white genocide’ and the ‘Great Replacement Theory.’ In this deep dive, Francesca explores the characters who l...

As information about Charlie Kirk’s assassin trickles in, so do the bizarre inconsistencies. A destroyed letter? A very on the nose text thread. And there still doesn’t appear to be evidence of the “hardened leftist” narrative, but that hasn’t stopped the entire regime from putting anyone left of center in their crosshairs. Blakeley, musician and content creator, joins Francesca to talk about JD Vance and Stephen Miller threatening any American leftist and the dovetailing with tall of the censor...

Every fantasy franchise has an insufferable part of its fan base. But this one takes the cake. Powerful conservatives are obsessed with The Lord of The Rings. We know this because they name their military tech companies, surveillance companies and venture capital firms after objects in Middle Earth. Billionaire Peter Thiel has named 10 of his companies after things in Lord of The Ring, including Palantir, the Trump's regime's authoritarian surveillance company of choice. JD Vance has called hims...

Everything just got a lot worse. The manhunt is still underway for Charlie Kirk but President Trump and the regime are wasting no time blaming the ‘radical left’ for basically calling Kirk’s hate speech… hate speech. Trump and the State Department are threatening immigrants who appear to celebrate or rationalize the murder with deportation. The regime has decided, despite any evidence, that Democrats and the broader left are to blame for the heinous crime. Wajahat Ali joins Francesca to talk abo...

Will the master’s tools dismantle the master’s house? If you’re a democratic influencer you might say YES!

A bad vote from AOC is giving Francesca chills about 2026 and 2028. If Democratic leaders can’t shake the liberal Zionist tendencies, the party (and Palestine) are doomed. Meanwhile, vigilante websites like Canary Mission get a new lease on doxxing as Trump’s DHS is using their database to disappear students like Rumeysa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil.

There’s nothing political about tragedy...that is, unless every politician at every level of government did absolutely nothing to prevent it. What happened in Texas on July 4th wasn’t an act of God, it was an act of recklessness from lying politicians and yes, the voters who still believe them. Over 135 people are dead because at the county level, the state level and the federal level, Republicans have failed to take climate preparedness seriously. Whenever there was a decision to fund it, they ...

As Israel shows no sign of slowing down its assault on the people of Gaza, cretinous opportunists are laying out plans for its future. None of these future plans involve Palestinians living with dignity or autonomy or in their homes. From Trump’s crass comments about the U.S. “owning” Gaza and being some sort of business middle man, to his own son-in-law taking over islands in nearby Albania, the President and his accolades are licking their chops for the total destruction of the area.

Whelp, the GOP finally did it. The House just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, and millions of Americans are going to suffer as a result. Happy Birthday America!

It’s not all bad though, because this bill also kills all the incentives for green energy in the U.S. At this point, let’s get the climate apocalypse here ASAP. As ICE becomes completely lawless under the authoritarian Trump regime, we need direct action in resistance. Francesca had a conv...
