The PoliticsGirl Podcast

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

Donald Trump and the Republicans, with an assist from the Supreme Court, seem willing to do anything they can to make sure they retain power in 26, regardless of the will of the voters. That why what’s happening with the voter fraud narrative in California isn’t just sour grapes, but a disinformation wave growing to build a case that votes can’t be trusted, that they need a national list, that they must have the SAVE Act, that we h...

We can no longer wait to be saved. It’s time to step up and save ourselves because Democratic leadership isn’t going to do it - if anything they need to be encouraged to pass the torch, because at the end of the day voters don’t vote for policy or even party, they vote for candidates they believe in. We need to be electing those people to local and state office now, so we have them in the wings for federal office later. Run For Som...

Liz Oyer talks to us about the president’s outrageous corruption and the complete distain he and his allies have for the American people and the rule of law. This billion dollar slush fund of taxpayer money his own personal lawyer has created for him along with the addition of total immunity from the IRS to ever hold him, his businesses, or his family accountable for tax evasion in perpetuity, has to have even president’s most arde...

Ruth Ben Ghiat reminds us that unless we want America to become a white, christian ethno-state, we need to be engaging now. Now is the best time as the administration sets everything on fire and people start to feel the pain. According to Ruth, we’re actually ahead of the curve in terms of resistance, so we need ramp it up, if anything overcompensate with positive action. Autocrats want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we’re n...

Why are we at war? Why are they trying to trick us into thinking the economy is good as if we don’t pay our own bills? Why do they keep taking the White House keep taking on unnecessary renovations in DC rather than paying for things his citizens need like cancer research and food stamps? Are we seriously taking a full detour back to segregation and simping for billionaires? Finally, why is Obama meeting with Mark Carney? Lots of t...

Don’t think for a moment that the dismantling of the 1965 Voting Rights Act stops with disenfranchising Black voters. Once Republicans are finished suppressing Black votes, women are next, gay Americans will follow, and then they’ll come for the working poor. Nobody is safe once if the powers that be are allowed to dismantle democracy. Dismantling the voting rights act isn’t a Black issue. It’s a EVERYBODY issue and everybody needs...

We don’t know if the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner was staged. What we do know, is that everyone involved acted incredibly strangely before, during, and after, and within an hour of the event there was a calculated onslaught of propaganda from the White House press room to the entirety of the right wing internet around the necessity of Trump getting his ballroom. And if you don’t think that’s weird…you’re not pa...

Between the on line Rape Academy, where men taught other men, and shared videos, of how to drug and rape your wife, to the constant drip drip drip of the Epstein files where everyone involved (except the woman) is walking free, to the recent fall from grace of California gubernatorial candidate, and Democratic front runner, Eric Swalwell, every day feels like a fresh new attack on women - how we’re perceived, what we’re good for, w...

Christian nationalists are saying the quiet part out loud, that they don’t believe women should have a role in public facing society. For them it’s about dependency, an excuse for unbridled hierarchy, and a select group deciding who has worth and who doesn’t. If this isn’t something you agree with, now is the time to understand this reality, and use the levers of power we have before they are taken from us. These people are not fuc...

As There’s a lot going on in America right now from No Kings to the war but as today’s guest, Dr. Anahita Dua reminds us we still need to talk about America’s health, because with RFK Jr. running the Department of Health and Human Services, we really are in grave danger.

As Ezra Levin reminds us, No Kings is not just something we HAVE to do but something we GET to do. That we get to be a part of history by sending a very public message to our country, and the world, that we are mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore. But this time, it’s not enough to just go, we need to be bringing people with us. This administration is an existential threat to America and the world. No Kings is a day o...

If you’re paying attention right now you know America is off the rails. We’re at war in the middle east. We’re being attacked at home by ICE. Everything is more expensive. Our government is calling protesters terrorists and terrorists allies. We’re killing people in custody. Women are losing their rights. Our elections are in danger and the Trump administration is threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of any news organization ...

If there are American leaders making military or legislative decisions based in faith rather than facts, that is a clear, and flagrant, violation of the separation of church and state. Commanders who send troops into combat have an obligation to the law, the mission, and the men and women under their command. If they think they are fulfilling some long prophesied Armageddon we need to hold them accountable. As always, if you find...

On February 28th, 2026 the US and Isreal attacked Iran in an an operation that killed the top of Iran’s power structure, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The problem is the American people don’t have a clear answer as to why we did this as the president and his administration didn’t go through congress - the constitutionally legal way to declare war.

The hard truth is anyone who was paying attention knew this was coming. That as soon as we allowed the man who instigated a coup back into the Oval Office dark days were ahead, so now we must do everything we can to not only prioritize getting these people out of power - and winning every single election - but to hold the people who allowed this accountable so we never find ourselves in this position again. The rules need to change...

America needs leaders who will oppose the cruelty, chaos and corruption that we’re seeing today. Leaders who won’t be booed at the Olympics or blame their own citizens for getting shot. Governor Shapiro reminds us that now is not the time to pull the covers over our heads or check out from the news, but the time to reengage in the American experiment because, ultimately, it really is the people who have the power to stop this. ...
