  • It's Election Day! Before the votes came in, we spoke with Pennsylvania Representative Summer Lee about how her state could determine the outcome of the election and about how to keep fighting regardless of the results. Then, we interviewed Dave Weigel of Semafor about races to watch and Kamala's path to victory. And finally we talked about the gender gap that is FREAKING Republicans out with comedian Megan Gailey and how abortions is actually on the ballot in every state.

  • The October surprise has come November 1st. The jaw-dropping allegations of journalist Michael Wolff about Epstein having photos of Trump with naked girls are turning Francesca into full conspiracy Karen.

  • Well this is it. The final week before the election and Donald Trump has made his bid to be the vilest candidate possible, with an "America First" rally at Madison Square Garden complete with hack comics telling racist jokes. Comedian Gianmarco Soresi joins Francesca to pick apart the scariest display of sad manhood, a CNN guest who went full Islamophobe, and the spooookiest parts of a second Trump term. But FIRST, Maurice Mitchell Director of Working Families Party joins to give some much-needed optimism about how of people power can and does defeat billionaire's checks.

  • Trump supporters and billionaire backers are already preventing voters from the ballot. Over 850,000 have already bee removed in swing states like Georgia. In fact, all it takes is a "challenge" to a voter's ballot to get them removed unless they are physically present to reinstate it. Investigative reporter Greg Palast joins Francesca to discuss his latest documentary Vigilantes Inc. which details the history and present-day realty of vote suppression or stealing, and its racist roots in Jim Crow laws. Palast has been on the beat of vote suppression for decades and is STILL doing the Lord's work!

  • Two weeks until America could go back into its toxic ex, or elects Kamala Harris. Francesca feels the doom setting in, only to be saved by the power of two comedians: Pallavi Gunalan and Anthony Atamanuik. Together they look at Harris' path to victory, Elon Musk's somehow legal ploy to pay swing voters $1 million for signing a petition, and Trump's ridiculous economic plans while working the fry station. Finally, what do you think each candidate's final pitch should be to the American people?

  • Kamala Harris crushes Fox News interview despite some hard questions from Brett Baier. Donald Trump faceplants on Univision while everyday voters bring some excellent questions.

  • There isn't a housing crisis if you remember what the housing market does: delivers wealth to landlords. Providing housing is a distant second. Author of "Abolish Rent" Tracy Rosenthal joined Francesca to explain why we need to conceive of the struggle against rent as a class struggle, and organize as tenants. And comedian David Nguyen joins to talk Republican attempts to avoid election certification being smacked down by a Georgia judge, and Israel threatens to ethnically cleanse 400,000 Gazans in the North by issuing evacuation orders. And finally, three moments that prove that Republicans really know women!

  • Real immigration reform has languished under President Biden, and Kamala Harris could offer a new path but will she? Democrats have a pretty awful track record on standing up for immigrants, undocumented or otherwise, while the right has been busy dragged the whole issue to the right. They've built a whole fantastical infrastructure of lies about migrants: Eating cats and dogs, taking over buildings, bringing crime and using resources. Sadly, there hasn't been any countervailing narrative to push back against this demonization.

    Jacinta Gonzalez, policy director for the Latinx-led organization Mijente, joins Francesca to assess Kamala Harris' immigration stances and how to fight the right while pushing the left.

  • A year into a genocide and Israel's dreams are coming true. The U.S. is ratcheting up the rhetoric against Iran and sleepwalking to war, as guest Negar Mortazavi explains. Then Matt Lieb is back to talk Oct 7th anniversary and give Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff some notes on his commemoration. And a monster hurricane is headed for Florida, meteorologists are crying on air, but Republicans are once again playing politics and refusing to fully fund FEMA. Finally, Elon Musk's comes fully out of the non-partisan closet and reveals himself as just another MAGA piss pig.

  • The debate was FINE. Too many pulled punches by Tim Walz and weird backpedaling and slimy triangulating from JD Vance. Plus not enough difference between the two on key issues of war, climate change, and housing. Still Walz knocked it out of the park on abortion and family leave. Francesca goes over all of the highlights and lowlights from the vice presidential debate.

  • Republicans in battleground states like Georgia are laying the groundwork for a contested election. Journalist Ari Berman explains that through election boards shenanigans, voter purges, and cumbersome last-minute laws, Republicans are hoping that this time around they can delay and spread enough disinformation to swing the election to Trump. Then, comedian Jamie Loftus joins to talk Iran striking Israel, Israel invading Lebanon and the ongoing fits and starts of an all-out regional war. Plus, Hurricane Helene gets politicized while people drown, and a special Eric Adams edition of The Cringey's.

Journalist Kate Araonoff joins Francesca to explain the good and the bad of the Biden/Harris climate policy legacy, and comedian Josh Gondelman can't get enough of how much of a walking hyprocrite Lt.

  • This episode is ALL ABOUT LOVE. Many bell hooks references and so much critical conversation with the inimitable Laverne Cox: four time Emmy-nominated actress, Emmy winning documentary film producer and a prominent equal rights advocate. Laverne joined to talk all about the backlash to transgender visibility and transgender acceptance, in the form of draconian anti-trans laws around sports, healthcare and identification. She and Francesca talk about how the progressive left must stand up for human rights through our language and our actions, working to re-humanize a community that has been so obsessed over and treated as less than. It was spiritual, beautiful, and honest. Also, did we know Laverne is a lefty? Okur!

  • It's all fun and eating cats until 33 bomb threats are called into a single town. Springfield has been reeling since JD Vance and Donald Trump made it the center of their racist anti-immigrant crusade. Author Talia Lavin joins to talk about how what the Haitian migrants have been subjected to is none other than pogram-like tactics: lies then violence. Then, Nation journalist Sarah Lazare joins to talk about Kamala Harris refusing to break from Biden's genocide-enabling policies, and the latest IDF murder of a protester in the West Bank. This time an American, Aysenur Eygi, who was doing the most brave of actions and bearing witness to Israeli settler and army violence. Then a round of "Loomey Tunes" with Trump's latest "it" girl, Temu Melania, conspiracy Karen, Laura Loomer.

  • What did we just watch? Vice President Harris pummeled Donald Trump on issue after issue as the old guy could barely keep a thought straight in his own head. He had nothing but wild claims about migrants eating pets, transgender surgeries in prisons, and a whole lot of running from his own record. But hey at least there's the "concepts of a plan" on healthcare. Meanwhile, how did Kamala Harris do? Sneak disses and policy proposals. Hate to say it but she kind of crushed.

    Trump proved how deeply unserious he is about winning in November, and yet, somehow the polling is still close. Francesca was joined by comedians Brandie Posey and Nato Green to look at the highlights and lowlights of the second and by far much better presidential debate.

  • How has terrible U.S. policy in Latin America led to waves of predictable migration? Michael Fox, author and host of the podcast Under the Shadow, joins Francesca to discuss how Latin America has been forever caught between neoliberal economic "development" or flat out coups, but never able to truly be sovereign. Plus a look at VERY COOL SMART BUSINESS DUDE Elon Musk's battle with the Brazilian courts over the banning 7 misinformation accounts. Also, Francesca explores Trump always-shifting abortion rights stances, and this week's very tough choice of "Cringeys".
