Posting Through It

If you’re alive in America today, you’ve seen the ads — on TV, at bus stops, and on your phone. We have a gambling problem in this country, and it’s getting worse by the minute. With a rapid, billion-dollar boom in sports betting already underway, we now have to reckon with the next phase of this trend: betting on news events.

Journalist and author Danny Funt joins Posting Through It for a conversation about online gambling at a tim...

Posting Through It says farewell to two of the worst websites to have ever existed: The Daily Stormer and Infowars. 

Andrew Anglin and Alex Jones have claimed their respective demises before, but something feels markedly different this time. Both are facing declining revenue and mounting debts from lawsuits and dwindling web traffic. Meanwhile, the MAGA movement that once supported them has largely moved on—absorbing their tactics, ...

MAGA is at an existential crossroads right now. If that sounds strange to you, you haven’t paid much attention to the movement’s struggles with antisemitism, which exploded after the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a college speaking event last September. Our guest, investigative reporter and author Art Levine, recently covered the GOP’s crisis with antisemitism in the Washington Spectator.

It’s arguably the biggest issue facing th...

Mike and Jared took a break from Iran War coverage to look back on "Lady Ballers": a feature-length film The Daily Wire released in 2023, at the height of MAGA's efforts to stoke an anti-transgender moral panic over women's sports. The guys reexamine the movie as an artifact that helped deliver the MAGA movement we see in 2026 and an example of conservatives' efforts at counter-programming against a dominant liberal culture.

We've n...

In this intimate, two-handed edition of Posting Through It, Jared and Mike try to figure out whether the MAGA movement is actually faltering, as some news coverage would suggest. 

The short answer is yes: poll numbers are sagging, the economy is slumping, influencers are turning on one another, and the rhetoric has grown so absurd that less-online working people can no longer follow it. 

The more nuanced answer is that while the MAGA...

Well, we are at war. It doesn’t matter what MAGA calls it tomorrow — it’s war. 

Jared and Mike may not be foreign policy analysts , but they know enough to recognize who else isn’t, either. The hosts wade into a Caspian Sea of bad takes in this premium episode, running through the propaganda of Zionist extremists, antisemitic extremists, and, in some cases, people so stupid you'd consider it extreme. Stick around to the end to f...

Jared and Mike dive into the growing world of contrarian punditry that seeks to downplay Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex abuse and discourage audiences from drawing conclusions about his connections to some of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people. They take a closer look at one online personality, Michael Tracey, to unpack this surreal and alarming trend.

Later, they’re joined by Ileana Justine, a journalist and content creat...

In this episode, Jared and Mike rewind to Florida’s razor-thin 2018 midterms to break down a often-overlooked test run of “Stop the Steal,” years before it became synonymous with the 2021 riot at the United States Capitol.

As recounts unfolded in the high-stakes Senate and governor’s races, longtime GOP operative Roger Stone and a network of MAGA activists mobilized protests in Broward County, amplifying fraud claims and pressuring...

By now, you've probably seen it: someone you follow making a joke about "maxxing" or getting "mogged" on your timeline. These terms come from a terminally online subculture spun off of the so-called "manosphere" known as "looksmaxxing." It's hyper-focused on the shallowest dimension of masculinity: physical appearance.

Clavicular, the subculture's breakout star, has been popping up everywhere lately, including in The New York Times....

We hope you had a good Valentine's Day last week. If not, there's always the new Free Press matchmaker offshoot from Bari Weiss — and if that doesn't work out either, come join us while we try to make sense of what is happening with A.I.

Specifically, we dig into the strange situation surrounding Scott Adams' post-death A.I. talk show, which has cropped up on social media somewhat mysteriously in recent weeks. His fa...

Grassroots organizers have increasingly used the messaging app Signal to coordinate responses to MAGA authoritarianism. It remains the best messaging app available, but the “ICE Out” protests in Minneapolis demonstrated how regime propagandists and corrupt law enforcement can attack and exploit it. Influencers entered public-facing Signal chats and ferried the information there to Kash Patel’s FBI. 

In this PTI Bulletin, Bill Buding...

Midterm elections are approaching and early polling shows it's poised to be a bloodbath for the MAGA movement. But Americans may be in for a wild November, thanks to a crew of brain-rotted election denialists now working inside the US government. (One of them happens to be the president.)

Hunter Walker, an investigative reporter at Talking Points Memo, has been following the MAGA movement's efforts to upend American democracy for mo...

Bawitdabadabangdadangdiggydoogy, our name is Postiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin' THROUGH IT. 

Jared and Mike have covered the TPUSA halftime show from its inception and despite insistence from their individual psychotherapists they see no reason to stop now. Hear the hosts breakdown how the event happened, what TPUSA wanted to accomplish and what they actually accomplished—a very grim, objectively stupid representation of a racist alt...

This edition of Posting Through It's acclaimed "Who the Hell?" series profiles right-wing podcast host Steven Crowder. Jared and Mike are joined by Byron McKoy, co-host of the podcast Louder Than Crowder, to explore how Crowder emerged as one of the Trump-era's flagship media programs and how his career started to unravel in recent years.

Together, they retrace the arc of Crowder's life and career to explai...

The Jeffrey Epstein story will never die. Jared and Mike report back on the many scandals embedded in the latest drop, while paying acute attention to Epstein’s relationship to MAGA and the radical right. (Unlike Nick Fuentes, our podcast is not selling Jeffrey Epstein branded quarter-zips.) The hosts move on to talk about TPUSA’s alternative Super Bowl halftime show, which features a few names you'll definitely forget a few mi...

Jared and Mike speak with seasoned national security reporter Ken Klippenstein about the expansion of national surveillance programs targeting anti-ICE activists and community organizers, alongside others they consider threats to the MAGA political agenda. While DHS denies that the agency maintains databases of so-called "domestic terrorists," Ken's reporting revealed that to be plainly untrue.

Ken shares what he's learned about...

Minneapolis has changed America in ways we can’t even process yet, but in the short term it has sent the MAGA movement into a spiral of lying, propagandizing, and coping—the likes of which we haven’t quite seen before. 

Jared and Mike dip into some grim polling numbers for Trump and ICE before pivoting to the shit they’re currently selling: Antifa boogeymen, entirely nonexistent paid protesters, and whistles. Yes, whistles. 

A crew o...

Jared and Mike welcome media columnist and reporter Justin Baragona. They discuss the latest execution by ICE agents in Minneapolis and initial reactions from MAGA media before turning their focus to what's been going on at CBS News under the direction of its new ideologically driven leader: Bari Weiss. 

Since the network's owners hired Weiss to be its editor in chief in October 2025, she's been slowly remaking CBS News in her own i...

[Black metal voice] KRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

It’s time for something cringe! No, it’s not wearing corpse paint. It’s far worse: Nick Fuentes, the Tate Brothers, Clavicular, Sneako, the ever insufferable Myron Gaines and a list of random orbiters infested a Miami Beach club to bang Ye’s pro-Hitler rap anthem. Jared and Mike talk about that bullshit, alongside Fuentes' alleged monster deal to hawk gold, and his new pivot to Jeffrey ...
