Emily Sturge of Campus Reform is on the case, folks. Under her watch, the National Institute of Health will never misspend another dollar ever again. Lydia debunks the outrage from the Campus Reform article outlining 10 "outrageous" scientific inquiries funded with taxpayer money that the Right wants DOGE to "investigate."

This episode also could be called "Jerry Coyne is wrong and a liar." The FFRF published Jerry Coyne's anti-trans lies and then had to apologize. I was going to talk about that and the nature of inadequate apologies, but then I saw one of the claims in Coyne's piece and I HAD to debunk it. The fact that it comes from the UN shows how pernicious and extensive the anti-trans misinformation has become.

The Right Wing media ecosystem is all over Lydia's alma mater, San Jose State University, for a very unserious (surprise) reason: volleyball. Lydia breaks down the "controversy" for us.

It is very unfortunate that we weren't able to release this 4th and final part of Trump's MSG rally before the election, because a lot of the analysis was extremely prescient. But it is perhaps even more relevant now, because it features several characters who will be a part of the incoming fascism. And then, of course, the Führer himself.

A series of amoral grifters each more grifty than the last. Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson (who sounds INSANE), Terry Bollea, RFK Jr., and somehow more.

It's part 2 of the Trump Madison Square Garden NYC rally, and this one features the funniest thing to ever happen on any of my shows, as we had a very special guest call in short notice!

Part 1!

Lydia watched 6 hours of this "not a Nazi" rally to drill down to the highlights (lowlights?) among the speakers, who may very well hold positions in a Trump administration if he's elected. There are hilarious moments, and also quite a lot of really horrible racism and misogyny that we can't allow to be swept under the rug. Please vote.

We interrupt our Yale Law series because this election has us too stressed the f$#% out. It seemed like we'd be ok. It seemed like we were going to win. Now the polls do not look good. What changed?

I wanted to talk about the very real possibility that in a few short days, MAGA fascists will have won control of... everything. Absolutely everything. The Presidency, Congress, and of course the Supreme Court is already in their hands. The polls are in their favor. Should we believe them?
