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© 2022 Meidas Media Network, Leigh McGowan Ciencia Política Política y Gobierno

  • Trump Keeps Losing: A conversation with Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman

    Trump Keeps Losing: A conversation with Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman
    Sep 9 2025
    The Trump regime wants us feel powerless, like their take over is inevitable, but it’s not. Part of the struggle is simply not giving up. To stay engaged and keep your people informed as to what they’re doing to our health care, our education, our voting rights, our civil rights and then responding with action. That is what Sky Perryman and her team at Democracy Forward is doing to great success. In a recent article in the Atlantic titled “The Anti-Trump Resistance That is Actually Working” Democracy Forward is called “the single largest source of Trump‘s legal troubles”. So although every day might feel like the bad guys are winning, when you look at the courts - real, and the court of public opinion - they’re actually losing. They’re losing. Every. Single. Day.

  • This is America: A Conversation with Dr. Terence Lester

    This is America: A Conversation with Dr. Terence Lester
    Sep 2 2025
    It’s back to school, and while school shootings are a given, actual education is not. It’s September 2025 and the Department of Education is being systematically dismantled while the policy impacts of the Trump administration are only set to make things worse. From food insecurity for children who get fed at school, to school closures, to policy decisions that tell us what we can and cannot teach. Nothing is as it should be. As today’s guest, Dr. Lester is the author of the upcoming book From Dropout to Doctorate: Breaking the Chains of Educational Injustice. Dr. Lester writes: education inequality isn’t theoretical, it’s real. Behind every data point about dropout rates, underfunded schools, or academic failures there real people with potential who were left behind. Why are we abandoning the very people we’ll need in the future to make our world a safer and smarter place?

  • Is Putin Running the Show? - A conversation with international expert Jon Finer

    Is Putin Running the Show? - A conversation with international expert Jon Finer
    Aug 26 2025
    While international relationships are essential in a changing, increasingly dangerous world, under the Trump Administration America is doing major damage to both our safety and security by eroding trust with our allies being mercurial and untrustworthy to them while being generous and cozy with our “enemies". Our president clearly sees the world as a zero sum game of how things serve him, and while that particular kind of selfishness might work in the business world, when the only goal is financial success, it doesn’t work in geopolitics if you are creating partners to make the world safer and more secure. We are joined today by Jon Finer, Biden’s former Deputy National Security advisor, to let us know where the international experts feel America sits right now on the international stage.

My patriotism is full bore, your thoughts have been within my own for five years. As a vet it saddens me that other vets think their oath means to degrade or take over our country.

Excellent

I was born in Detroit and have lived in Michigan my entire life. I grew up in a Republican family. I paid little attention to politics until Trump entered the scene. I couldn't believe what was going on in this country. The things discussed in this Pod Cast I have lived through. Since we have had Governor Whitmore in power I feel the people's opinions are heard. Things have been changing for the better and the damn roads are being repaired. Covid slowed the Governor's promises down but never stopped her. I am a graduate from Michigan State University. The mass shooting hear was heart breaking. The university, students and community have come together. All of the people were demanding changes to gun policies. Michigan's Goverment has heard and responded. So I truly believe I am lucky to live in Michigan.

Lucky to live in Michigan.

I knew Christian Nationalism was coming to the surface in America but had no idea it was this pervasive. Everyone should lusten to this podcast and start screaming as if you hair is on fire until you get everyone's attention!!!

Two of my favorites together talking about the federal cases against Trump and his coconspirators. They break down the last several years and make it easy to understand. I'm only sorry to say there is no swearing.

Excellent recap of Trump justice
