Donald Trump has been going way off his advisors' scripts - going all in on personal attacks and promoting content one would expect to find only in the darkest corners of the internet. And on reproductive rights, he's struggling to even find the right script.
This week, we discuss Trump's recent unhinged behavior both on and offline as well as how Harris handled her much-hyped CNN interview.
All that before we play an it's giving, pull up our group chat and leave you with a good vibe.Send us a text!

This week, we are pleased to be joined by Deja Foxx. Deja is an activist, political strategist, and founder of GenZ Girl Gang. At age 19, she became the youngest staffer and first Influencer and Surrogate Strategist on U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign. Last week at the DNC, she became the very first content creator to speak at the convention.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his fire sale of a campaign and endorsed the highest bidder - Donald Trump. The Harris campaign and Trump campaign have sparred over muted or unmuted mics and Trump is whining about the host network, ABC. On Meet the Press, JD Vance said Trump has been "clear" that he would note impose a national abortion ban (false) and that he would even veto legislation (highly unlikely) which is still being pushed by Senate Republicans like Lindsey Graham and gang.

We discuss the policies and the bold vision for the future of America laid out in the speeches from both legacy Democratic Party leaders and the up-and-comers.

While Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have stolen the spotlight in recent weeks, Trump is trying to recapture attention by any means necessary. So he finally re-agreed to the September 10 debate on ABC, and he broke his silence on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) which included a bizarre, rambling conversation between he and billionaire Elon Musk.
Project 2025 is also back in the news this week as ProPublica found and published the training videos they produced to advise future Trump administration appointees on how to implement its radical agenda. We play out some must-hear clips from these truly shocking videos.Send us a text!

The vibes this week... Days after former President Donald Trump was struck in a mass shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania, he named Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate. Brian and Glennis discuss the political reactions to the Trump rally shooting and the VP pick representing, perhaps, the most radical ticket in U.S. history.
To top it all off, on Monday Judge Aileen Cannon went out on a limb to throw out Trump's classified documents case - saying special prosecutor Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed.Send us a text!

This week, Brian and Glennis check the vibes of American politics as Joe Biden emphatically insists "I'm not going anywhere," while folks in DC and across the country continue to murmur.

The vibes this week are... oof. SCOTUS has both granted Trump broad immunity and overturned the Chevron deference. Both decisions make the prospect of another Trump term (who now has a roadmap to dismantle the federal government with Project 2025) that much more dire.
We catch up on last week's debate: from Biden's performance and the reactions of pundits, strategists, donors, and voters who will decide this election to the much less discussed topic of Trump's endless unchecked lies.
Stick around for an it's giving, group chat, and a much needed good vibe goodbye.

The polls are still (hopefully?) broken. The stakes are more unprecedented than ever.
Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously protected the abortion pill, mifepristone (for now), but didn’t close the door to hear new cases involving plaintiffs “with standing.” They also protected bump stocks, a tool that effectively turns a semi-automatic rifle into a machine gun. Now Senate Republicans are playing games and blocking Senate Democrats’ attempts to write the TRUMP ban into law. We get into the games the NRA and Republicans have played since that ban was put into effect in 2017.
Continuing with SCOTUS, Brian and Glennis catch up on the drama with the Alitos and their extremist, vindictive ideologies laid bare in a secret audio recording.
Then, they talk about the latest example of Sinclair Broadcasting Group pushing scripts with a national political agenda onto local news outlets across the country.
Finally, they discuss Democrats’ strategy leading into the ‘24 election - how the Biden campaign is messaging on his own record, plans, and the contrast with his opponent (a convicted felon).

No more deliberations The verdict is in. The fallout from the first former president in American history to be a convicted felon continues. The Trump campaign and conservative media like Fox News are in lockstep, suggesting that "they" are coming after "you," and Donald Trump is just standing in the way... absurd.
We also discuss an eyebrow raising new report from ProPublica about Trump's sweetheart treatment of 9 witnesses in his criminal trials.
Then we’ll talk about the Right to Contraception Act VOTE that Senator Chuck Schumer is calling today.

No burying obviously newsworthy stories. NO full-blown freakouts. Just Vibes. And the vibes this week:
We learned this weekend that The Washington Post knew about nod to Stop the Steal at Justice Samuel Alito's house in January of 2021 but decided it...wasn't worth mentioning to the public. A number of media outlets, pundits and Dem strategists have been recently sounding the alarms - POLITICO saying Dems are in "full-blown freakout" mode over Biden's chances in '24. The New York Times wrote an article about the role that "tuned-out" Trump-curious voters will have on the election. And Dan Pfeiffer wrote in his newsletter, The Message Box, that TikTok is helping elect Donald Trump. Also, in a week that we could see the first criminal conviction of an American president, the New York Times published a story titled "Trump Leans Into an Outlaw Image as His Criminal Trial Concludes"We get into all that before pulling up our group chat, playing an "it's giving" and leaving you with a good vibe. Don't forget to text us with your answer to our group chat question of the week!

The courts are broken. The stakes are unprecedented. And the vibes this week…
Brian and Glennis discuss the public display of - not just partisanship, but MAGA allegiance - at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's household. ICYMI, it was JUST reported that an upside down flag, a symbol adopted by the "stop the steal" crowd, was raised at Alito's house mere days after the Jan 6 capitol riot.
They also talk about Trump's unhinged NRA speech where he, ya know, casually floated serving a third term.
Then they give an update on Trump's New York trial as both the prosecution AND defense have rested their cases and it's now left up to the jury.Send us a text!

No pollsters. No media pundits "running around with their hair on fire." Just vibes. And the vibes this week:
A new Times/Siena poll dropped this week that, again, showed Trump leading in 5 of 6 key swing states. We talk about the media discourse since it dropped.
