    The Untouched Power That Could Stop The Iran War

    Congress has the power to stop Trump’s unpopular war in Iran — but lawmakers have never used it before. Their excuse? An obscure immigration case from 1983. In this special episode, David Sirota tells the wild story of how a Kenyan-born immigrant and a Ralph Nader-aligned lawyer unwittingly expanded the powers of the president — and left Congress believing that it’s powerless to stop unauthorized wars.  Listen to the rest of Master Plan: The Kingmakers.

  2. Tom Steyer Opposed Single-Payer Health Care. Now He’s Running On It.

    23 APR.

    Tom Steyer Opposed Single-Payer Health Care. Now He’s Running On It.

    Last week, California Democrats killed CalCare, a proposed single-payer health care bill. Will the state ever achieve its dream of universal health care?  Tom Steyer — a gubernatorial candidate who ran ads against single-payer health care in 2020 — says he is now the Golden State’s best bet. He also wants higher taxes for the rich, stronger environmental protections, and the abolition of ICE. The catch? He’s a billionaire running a self-financed campaign.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund manager turned philanthropist, to discuss the collapse of Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) campaign, whether billionaires are a policy failure, and the chaotic governor’s race that has left Republicans leading in the polls.

    Tax Day Could Be Easy. They’re Fighting To Make It Hard.

    Tax Day sucks — confusing forms, piles of receipts, and expensive tax prep software. But it doesn’t have to be this way. A simple fix called return-free filing, proposed by Ronald Reagan decades ago, could save Americans millions of hours and billions of dollars. So who keeps shooting it down?  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota traces the 40-year dogfight over your tax return.

    Why Is AI Afraid Of This One Guy? (With Alex Bores)

    Right now, Big Tech is mobilizing a network of super PACs with more than $100 million in the bank to influence the 2026 midterm elections. Their number-one target?

    Why Congress Won't Stop Hijacking Air Travel

    Hours-long TSA lines, air traffic controller shortages, and skyrocketing flight prices. Deadly crashes, failing safety regulations, and international threats. There’s no doubt about it: U.S. air travel has been a hot mess in 2026. How did we hit such turbulence? And how does the current crisis tie into a decades-long master plan to hold airplane safety hostage for political gain? Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Bill McGee, senior fellow for aviation and travel at the American Economic Liberties Project, to answer the question everyone is asking: Is it still safe to fly?

  6. Your Privacy Is Gone. Can We Get It Back?

    27 MAR. • DOAR LEVER PREMIUM

    Your Privacy Is Gone. Can We Get It Back?

    The birth of the internet foreshadowed the death of privacy. Everything we do online is easy to track — and data brokers have turned plundering that information into an industry. As we explored in a recent episode of Lever Time, there are even laws empowering the FBI to buy Americans’ location data from these scavengers without a warrant. So, is there any hope for our privacy online? In this exclusive bonus episode of Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to check on the status of your digital privacy. They discuss whether personal privacy is still possible, how artificial intelligence is making matters worse, and what everyone needs to do to fight back.

  7. Why Is The FBI Buying Your Location Data? (With Sen. Ron Wyden And Sean Vitka)

    Why Is The FBI Buying Your Location Data? (With Sen. Ron Wyden And Sean Vitka)

    Earlier this month, FBI Director Kash Patel admitted under oath that the FBI has been buying Americans’ location information from data brokers, sidestepping traditional warrant requirements.  Lawmakers like Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) have been on the front lines trying to ban this practice, but that requires reforming FISA Section 702, one of the country’s most powerful — and least understood — surveillance laws.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Wyden and Sean Vitka, executive director of Demand Progress, to ask some big questions about the executive branch’s abuse of spy powers: How has a post-9/11 loophole quietly allowed federal agencies to access Americans’ phone calls, texts, and emails? Why have efforts to rein in these executive powers repeatedly stalled? And what happens as AI gives the government new tools to conduct warrantless surveillance?
