James Just and John Cameron return live with a wide‑ranging episode that tracks the shifting ground beneath America’s political movements and civil liberties. The show opens with reflections on the passing of major political figures and what it means for the future of ideological leadership. Then, a look at Democrats preparing coordinated protests for Trump’s upcoming State of the Union.
From the Fields examines the old saying “lies, damned lies, and government statistics,” and how data gets weaponized in public policy.
The team then digs into a series of alarming government‑power stories: digital rights advocates sounding the alarm over Wisconsin’s proposed VPN ban, Massachusetts lawmakers eyeing automated fines through ubiquitous surveillance cameras, and the looming deletion of a court archive tied to grooming gang scandals.
Finally, the episode closes with rising tensions abroad as the U.S. moves more military assets into the Middle East, and new polling showing many Democrats remain frustrated with their own party.
