But it seems like as he’s aging, he’s losing the ability to stand up to the military industrial complex on Ukraine and Israel. He’s even taking a more hawkish position on China.

Half the time I dont even think he is in the state but off campaigning for other republicans. I laugh whenever I hear ppl talk abt him stepping in to GOP Pres primary and winning. Pls. Take him. We dont want him. But he is not the great white hope ppl think he is. He can not resolve the issue the GOP has w voters of color and the way he changed his talk on abortion. Not bans but “limits”. It’s insulting. Like we’re stupid!!! We are not. We see every Glen Youngkin out there and women will not forget.

Lol love Beau 😂 he’s really good at teaching and giving the news in a calm, contextualized, easy to comprehend way.

It’s fun listening to Tommy Vítor slowly turn into Tom Waits whenever the conversation gets sufficiently depressing. They’ve never been seen in a room together, just saying.

Love the full squad, no interviews pod. Just dig into the juicy goods we all want to hear!

For me and all of those that I know democracy will be the number one thing on the ballot🎉

Tim Ryan was running too conservative of a campaign. Sherrod Brown doesn’t play that way.

As far as I see why Tim Ryan lost last year, I'm very concerned about the situation of Sherrod Brown.

Sure, screw GenX on retirement. If congress would repay funds they stole from ssi over the last 30+ years ssi would be strong.

This conversation astounds me. I would vote for a ham sandwich. If there was a D next to it's name, there is no choice other than Biden

Polls have been increasingly harder and harder to compile as the engagement with polls will continue to go down forever. At this point, 90% of all poll responses are coming from either lonely old people or internet trolls. How are we supposed to take that shit seriously?

Actually deliver on student loans, maybe win young people.

Biden is definitely doing his best. Blame the Repugnican House and Speaker for continued blocking!!😢

Pick a goddamn fight. That’s why Fetterman and OAC are popular and command loyal supporters, in spite of the nattering octogenarian neoliberal furniture they’re serving alongside.

Here's the thing... people see rights being taken... what's next?

That Wrong Track number could be strongly influenced by residual worries over January 6 and the continuing attacks on democracy. While usually a problem for incumbents, it could be that is a point favoring Biden, to continue to work to right the ship, institute greater protections, be a stabilizing force, etc. Thank you for having not made a big deal about the outcomes in Louisiana. Many folks there are saying there were party management issues that are unique to that election in that state.

Go vote blue , 💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊👏🏽👏🏽

Let's get behind RFK Jr. Give him a chance.

Maybe this is a crazy idea, but shouldn't Biden put forth a plan for his second term that will help disaffected voters? Even better yet, is there anything that he can do now to help disaffected voters?

Thank you, ☮️💜

You forgot about Breonna Taylor 😢 We don’t forget

The country is shocked by Santorum’s disdain for democracy. The country is equally unsurprised that Santorum has no idea what “sexy” means.

Nice show gentlemen 🌊💙

Who r these people polling??? I have never been polled!!😅

De Santis comes off like a real life version of every single republican coded politician on a cable tv crime procedural. It’s not even that he comes off like “a typical politician grr 😠” it’s that he comes off like a bad actor doing a very poor job at playing the cable tv version of a typical politician. Barely wooden enough to be cardboard

I think they’re wrong about the boats, for an eli5 we don’t have enough boats, we aren’t building enough boats, and the boats we have are pretty old. Also a huge problem with submarines too.

good show guys

Omg! I just dropped on and heard "mike Johnson will send an abortion ban to the Whitehouse and Donald tRump will sign it..." my heart jumped on my chest! Jeeze! No tRump. No abortion bans.
