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 ...

No story has defined 2026 quite like the federal invasion of Minneapolis, which grows more alarming by the day. Fears are mounting that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy 1,500 US Army troops from Alaska, who are specialized in cold weather operations, and make a scary situation even scarier. The hosts trace the cascading fallout from an ICE officer fatally shooting Renee Good, from MAGA's disturbing social media...

Jared and Mike bid farewell to MAGA legend Scott Adams, who died of cancer at age 68 on January 13, 2026, with a special installment of their "Who the Hell?" biographical series.

Adams was one of the earliest breakout MAGA influencers, gaining attention for his early support of Donald Trump in 2015 and his pseudoscientific explanations of his cultural rise. The "Dilbert" comic strip creator remained true to form ...

On this two-part episode, Mike and Jared explore how Grok, the AI chatbot built into Elon Musk's platform X, generates and distributes child sex abuse material and revenge porn. They're joined by Kat Tenbarge, an independent journalist who covers tech. Kat explains the history of "deepfakes" and how Musk's platform fits into a pattern of men manipulating tech to exploit women. After that, the guys speak with former MAGA influencer ...

It hasn’t been a pleasant start to the year. Jared and Mike scramble the jets to accommodate the horror in Minneapolis, coming to terms with the culture that makes opponents of MAGA expendable in the eyes of the regime and its propagandists. They pivot to another Minneapolis story, Nick Shirley and his age gap content co-creator, who recently started ringing doorbells looking for a place to drop off their “Little Joey.” The hosts a...

Jared and Mike wish you all a Happy J6, as we... uh... "celebrate" the fifth anniversary of the US Capitol Riot. They're joined by award-winning British journalist James Ball to reflect on what's happened to the field of "anti-disinformation" research and journalism. Those efforts peaked around the 2020 election, then almost completely fell apart. What happened for things to go so wrong? And what, if anything, can be done to keep t...

Mike and Jared check in during the post-holiday lull to answer questions submitted by their Patreon supporters. They share their takes on the state of the news media industry, explain how they got started covering the Radical Right, check in on the careers of Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, and much more.

Settle in with "hot chocolate mimosa" and come hang for this casual Q&A before we take off on the second year of Posti...

It's the final episode of Posting Through It for 2025. To close out a very weird year, Jared and Mike share a New Year's toast, review the 10 best (worst) political takes that passed over our timelines this year, and listen to voicemails submitted by friends of the show.

Break out your eggnog and seasonal lingerie because the boys from Posting Through It have your holy day covered. Jared and Mike tackle TPUSA’s AmericaFest, which featured Erika Kirk Freudian-slipping the word “grift,” Ben Shapiro firing shots at other influencers, and Nicki Minaj sliding down the chimney to praise Trump. A Posting Through It listener shares a dispatch from the scene of… what I guess you would call a James O’Keefe r...

With over four decades in show business, you might think that Bill Maher needs no introduction. But Posting Through Itcovers MAGA and the far right, and if you have perused politics-heavy corners of social media lately, you know that Maher has emerged as one of the most polarizing commentators of Trump’s second term. 

No longer beloved by liberals, Maher has hosted a bizarre rotation of MAGA friendly guests, including Kid Rock, RFK ...

Jared is in New York. Mike is in West Virginia. But no matter where you are in America, it’s easy to see that Trump and his MAGA movement are heading for some really, really, really dark shit. 

Following the gruesome murder of Rob Reiner, Trump decided to mock the director’s death and insinuate that his liberal politics caused it. The hosts frame Trump’s words in the context of a movement that has gotten increasingly scary and bleak...

Angelo Carusone, a legendary observer of the conservative movement and the president of Media Matters for America, joins Mike and Jared to break down how Candace Owens has hijacked online discourse surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and managed to drag MAGA media into a chaos spiral as 2025 comes to a close. Together, they explore where fractures in the MAGA movement might lead and whether spats of infighting can actually...

Milo Yiannopoulos has publicly accused Benny Johnson of being gay and having encounters with boys at TPUSA Student Action Summit events — allegations he claims left Johnson's wife in tears. So what do we do with accusations like these? Jared and Mike explore how to handle damaging personal revelations about figures on the MAGA right.

The hosts also dig into other controversies, including the plane of Egyptians (Mike included, natura...

Jared and Mike are joined by Asawin Suebsaeng, a senior political correspondent for Zeteo, to discuss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the pro-Trump toadies who replaced news reporters at the Pentagon, and the Trump Administration's murder rampage of boaters in the Caribbean who they claim are trafficking narcotics. At the end, the hosts share their favorite music from 2025.

Jared and Mike start the episode by glazing Kash Patel, the objectively cool head of the FBI. Our wonderful boy has thrown racks of taxpayer KA$H on hockey games, hunting, golfing –you name it – all to impress his much younger, country singing QAnon girlfriend. (Trump, if you’re listening, please don’t fire him!) Then they take a look at Ian Miles Cheong and his epic crash-out. All the Trump guys on X have finally figured out that ...
