    Amanda Green: Government Moves Fast When It Feels Threatened

    This week on He’s Not Wrong, I sit down with Amanda Marie Green, a North Florida congressional candidate (district 2) whose life’s work at USAID was dismantled under the Trump administration. Before she ever decided to run for office, Amanda spent a decade working inside the system, negotiating government contracts, protecting taxpayer dollars, supporting HIV/AIDS and malaria programs, building famine monitoring systems, and helping deliver cybersecurity support to Ukraine after the Russian invasion. She saw firsthand how the government is supposed to function and what happens when it’s intentionally torn apart. We talk about what USAID actually does, the misconceptions MAGA has weaponized, and what it was like to watch her work, and critical global programs, cut in the name of “efficiency.” We also dig into what those cuts mean here at home, especially in a district where nearly a quarter of residents rely on SNAP benefits, and how national security, public health, and economic stability are all connected. Amanda lays out a solution-driven vision for North Florida and she is focused on protecting reproductive freedom, safeguarding democracy, investing responsibly, and delivering real results for working families in a young, fast-growing district. After talking to so many candidates this year, one thing is clear: people don’t want chaos, they want solutions. And Amanda is running to provide just that. Got a hot take?

    Mazin Sidahmed: Building the Future of News From the Community Up

    In this episode, I’m joined by Mazin Sidahmed, co-executive director of Documented, an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting with and for immigrant communities in New York City. Documented isn’t just covering immigration as a political issue. They’re producing original, responsive reporting and actionable resource guides in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Haitian Kreyòl to ensure critical information reaches people in the languages they actually speak. Their community-driven model means they don’t simply report on immigrant communities — they report with them. Whether it’s WeChat, Signal, Nextdoor, or Facebook, Documented meets people where they are, delivering news and resources that help immigrants not just stay informed, but thrive. Mazin brings a global and deeply experienced perspective to this work. He previously worked at The Guardian US during the 2016 election, covering surveillance, criminal justice, and the rise in hate crimes. He later joined the award-winning Guardian Mobile Innovation Lab, helping develop mobile-first storytelling formats. He began his career at The Daily Star in Beirut, reporting on the Syrian refugee crisis, weapons transfers to Lebanon, and migrant domestic workers. After moving to the U.S., he also contributed to Politico New York, covering real estate, public housing, and city politics. This conversation explores immigration, media trust, and the future of journalism and what it looks like when news is built to serve the people most impacted by the story. Got a hot take?

    The Progressive Playbook: Three Voices for Change

    This is our first-ever marathon episode, and it brings together three voices who are all grappling with the same core question: what does the Democratic Party need to do right now to actually win, govern, and deliver for working people? We sit down with Drake Rainwater, an emerging Substack writer who makes the case that Democratic candidates have to lean far more aggressively into progressive economic policies if they want to reconnect with voters who feel left behind. We’re also joined by Tabitha Isner, Vice Chair of the Alabama Democratic Party and a candidate for the Alabama State Senate, who breaks down the slate of Democrats running this cycle and talks candidly about how to confront and dismantle the long-running narrative that paints Democrats as “evil” in deep-red states. Rounding out the conversation is Dylan Blaha, congressional candidate for Illinois’s 13th District, who builds on many of the same themes but goes deeper into some of the most controversial fault lines in Democratic politics today, including campaign funding, AIPAC, and support for ICE.  Got a hot take?
