This is such a fabulous podcast, I’ve been listening for years and I’ve yet to find anything comparable. Thank you for all you do, especially for the recent coverage of harassment in the federal judiciary. As an attorney, it meant a lot to hear these issues brought to light.

I was really disappointed when you discussed the ejection of Rep. Al Green for disruption but you didn’t bring up the previous outbursts/disruptions on the other side for Obama’s and Biden’s SOTUs and how certain GOP Rep.s were not ejected.

Dancing around the Orangführer's destruction of our nation. And 'safe to fly'? That understaffing makes it so? Why lie like CNN?

I understand that this is NPR and that’s stands for bland and dry. With that said, the degree to which this podcast underplays what is happening in our country right now is insulting. It takes the form of both-sidism and taking on a preachy and condescending tone when engaging with the audience who wants the Democratic Party do more to combat the Trump administration. These people will be doing neutral, bland discussion while Trump marches them off to prison.

Listener intros, irritating march music, endless recitation of each of your titles (at beginning and end) and the tiresome can't let it go. These all should be eliminated or changed. The bonus segment on Dept Edication was superficial and useless. It could be a decent show if you cut out all the baloney.

The hosts decided to laud the lady who blew her boss at work on the pod today.

It’s pretty obvious who funds your podcast. Well look at this!! NPR is a taxpyer-funded, far-left wing media outlet. Several "hosts" earn $500,000 a year in total compensation. Weird now the crazy democrats are mad about your podcast. The Democrats are almost officially done :)

I have listened to this show since shortly after it started, and its coverage has often been brief but also detailed, well reported, and in context. Since the election, and the inauguration especially, the hosts have accepted obvious bad faith claims and arguments as fact, for example sticking with the claim that Doge is sincerely about “cutting costs”, despite the abundant and glaring evidence to the contrary. It is now less a news show than one simply regurgitating administration talking points. Really disappointing, and the hosts should be ashamed of their capitulation.

I never thought I would see the day where NPR lacked the journalistic spine required for journalism in the second Trump era but here we are. I’ve been unable to listen to the show since last summer when I they began their peddling of the both sides/normalization nonsense and attempting to frame the current moment through a pre-Trump lens that doesn’t exist anymore.

I am stopping my NPR donations immediately because of this podcast. We are in a constitutional crisis. Your lack of holding congressional Dems accountable for their lack of action to obstruct the republican agenda is infuriating and your lighthearted tone is gross.
