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

    Trump’s War: A Conversation with Ken Harbaugh

    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 Trump administration is now throwing every possible reason to explain their actions at the wall to see what sticks - Iran’s nuclear capabilities, terrorism, freeing the Iranian people from their oppressive leader, a reaction to intelligence that indicated Iran plan to strike US bases, or that Iran interfered in the 2020 and 2024 elections. They can’t get their story straight and they seem to be unable to explain what our intentions are in the middle east. We know the mainstream media has let us down, so independent work like mine needs your support more than ever. The extremists have been able to shape the minds of too many people in this nation because the far right invested in their voice. Please give us a chance to fight back.

    The Hard Truths: A Conversation with David Rothkopf

    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. The institutions need to change. The power structure needs to change. And that starts today, with us, and finishes with a whole new group of voters who have no loyalty to how it was, but know it can be better than this. We know the mainstream media has let us down, so independent work like mine needs your support more than ever. The extremists have been able to shape the minds of too many people in this nation because the far right invested in their voice. Please give us a chance to fight back.

    Where are Our Leaders? A Conversation with Governor Josh Shapiro

    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.

    Live Free or Die

    Steve Schmidt reminds us that the American inheritance is being stolen from us by gangsters. That our rights don’t come from the president or his administration, they come from the blood spilled by everyone who fought for our right to life and liberty. We are in a moment of great crisis, but an activism is awaking that has not been seen in generations. Steve makes it clear that we don’t need a win for the Democratic party, we need a victory for the American people. You can lie to us, threaten us, and try to scare us, but we’ll just keep showing up for our rights. And the more of us who come out to save America, the more inspired others will be to join them. This is a fantastic and necessary episode for any one who needs inspiration to continue the fight. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

    Minneapolis is the Tipping Point

    What is going on in America right now, and what do we do next? We are dealing with an unfathomable reality with ICE escalating it’s violence and terror in Minnesota and the Trump Administration trying to intimidate and force people into compliance, or incite enough chaos and unrest to justify cracking down further.

    ICE out for GOOD: A Conversation with the ACLU

    What’s happening in America right now is horrifying but not surprising. That we are living through an extreme stress test for democracy, but all is not lost. Chief Political and Advocacy Officer at the ACLU, Deirdre Schifeling reminds us the best and most durable protectors of our rights are actually our own people. Yes, democratic backsliding is scary and dangerous, but not irreversible…especially if we all come together to defeat it.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
