  • Why are so many voters sitting out this week?

    Why are so many voters sitting out this week?
    Nov 3 2025

    Off-year elections -- as in, not a presidential or a midterm -- have fairly dismal voter turnout. Yet they matter a great deal. Most of our lives are lived at the local, not the national, level. So why do so many skip their state and local elections?

    We spoke with Luis Lozada, the CEO of Democracy Works, to understand why people don't show and why they should.

  • Project 2025: What it is and what it's doing

    Project 2025: What it is and what it's doing
    Oct 28 2025

    The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has published a Mandate for Leadership since 1981, making policy recommendations to the federal government. The latest edition is part of something much bigger: Project 2025. The newest Mandate is part of a four-pillar project designed to fundamentally change the federal government from the inside. Though President Trump and his team spent his third presidential campaign claiming they had nothing to do with it, Trump is no longer distancing himself from Project 2025. So let's dig in.

    Our guide to Project 2025 is the former director of factcheck.org and author of A Guide to Project 2025, Eugene Kiely.

    For more information on Project 2025, you can access the full policy playbook at the link above or by clicking here. You can watch the fourteen hours of instructional videos obtained by ProPublica here. More information about The Heritage Foundation and its stated values and goals can be found at their website.

It is hard to wait every week for a new episode! Fun to listen to, and on my favorite subject - american democracy. I appreciate how you guys break it down, even people who aren't nerds like me will be interested. My favorite episode is probably the first treason trial in the U.S. it really seems to include alot of founding fathers in a weird way... hope there are more federal case episodes to come. I appreciate the effort you guys put into educating.

My Fav Podcast!!!

Entertaining, energetic, and essential. Put this on your list of audible listens! Share it with your friends. Lack of Civics knowledge is starving the republic … here is food for life!!

Three Cheers!

Wanted a legal and an academic discussion of civics. They can’t help themselves to slant with a leftist viewpoint.

Was hoping for an even civics discussion but it devolved into a liberal leftist slant.

If you are a Make America Great Again republican, leave this alone. From chapter one, they call us radicals because we put America ahead of the world. It's a disgusting left-wing podcast. There is NOTHING educational about partisanship.

Christopher Columbus is the reason that the United States exists. There would be no such thing as a “Latino” without Christopher Columbus. He was the first European explorer to establish a trade route here in at least 10,000 years. Nobody cares that he was an unsavory character. You are all lost.

Leftist historians are trash.
