• The Trump Team’s GRIFTS for Greenland, Gaza, and Beyond
    Jan 23 2026
    Trump declares victory on Greenland without actually winning anything. Just hours after a chest-thumping speech at Davos, he unveiled a so-called “framework”—later a “concept”—for a future deal, claiming it was enough to pause the European tariffs he’d been threatening. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas (@aaronparnas1) break down the fallout from Davos—rattled allies, spooked markets, and plenty of smoke with little substance—before turning to Democrats’ brewing 2028 primary calendar fight: who goes first, what it signals about the party’s future, and whether a diversity-first strategy still makes sense without an incumbent. Plus, Vance heads to Minnesota to stoke tensions at an ICE resistance flashpoint and RFK Jr. hits the road with a wellness tour that feels a lot like a campaign.

  • A Year of Trump 2.0; A Decade of the War on Truth (ft. Heather Cox Richardson)
    Jan 21 2026
    It’s officially been one year of Trump 2.0—and it’s hard to overstate just how much has changed. Trump is back in the Oval Office with fewer guardrails, a more loyal team, and a far greater willingness to push presidential power than ever before. Jessica Tarlov sits down with historian and Letters from an American writer Heather Cox Richardson to take stock of Trump’s first year back in office—how history may remember it, what it means to have a president with so few constraints, his open assault on truth and democratic norms, and whether the U.S. is sliding toward an imperial presidency. Then, they turn to Trump’s unlikely transformation from anti-globalist firebrand to guest of honor in Davos—and what that shift says about today’s global order and the possible unraveling of the post–World War II diplomatic system. And finally, they unpack the sudden wave of 2016 nostalgia online: why people are longing for that moment, and what we’re really missing when we call it “the last normal year.” Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.

  • Is it Time to Abolish ICE?
    Jan 16 2026
    ICE continues to terrorize cities in America. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down the escalating federal occupation in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Renée Nicole Good, the protests that followed, and the growing standoff between state and federal authorities. They dig into whether rogue ICE agents ever face real accountability, what meaningful reform of the agency could look like, and what the chaos means for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Then, the talk about whether Donald Trump is actually trying to calm tensions with Iran — or deliberately keeping every option on the table? And as Trump clashes with Denmark and Greenland, what leverage does the U.S. really have? Finally, two weeks into his term, they check in on the Mamdani administration and what his early moves signal for New York City. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov. Follow Prof G, @profgalloway.

  • Can Democrats Criticize Trump’s Invasion Without Defending Maduro?
    Jan 7 2026
    Nicolás Maduro is no longer ruling Venezuela -- he’s behind bars in the United States. Trump calls it a law-enforcement win. Democrats say it crossed a dangerous line. Jessica Tarlov is joined by Ben Meiselas of the Meidas Touch (@MeidasTouch) to break down how Democrats can defend the Constitution without sounding like they’re defending a dictator -- and whether Trump is successfully reframing a military operation as justice. Plus: the welfare-fraud scandal that forced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to abandon his third-term bid, and the Silicon Valley backlash over a proposed billionaire wealth tax that’s putting Democrats on a collision course with their donors.
