Josh Marshall, Josh Kovensky and David Taintor discuss Democrats’ oversight efforts and many TPM readers’ frustration that the party isn’t doing more. Then, Josh K. updates us on his NRA reporting.
Harvard Law professor Cass Sustein talks to Josh about the origins of impeachment and how we should think about it today. He thinks the word “solemn” is what people should focus on most when thinking about removing a president from office.
Grady Laird, co-founder and president of Grady’s Cold Brew, joins Josh and David to talk about how he went from being a staffer at a now-defunct Condé Nast magazine who saw the writing on the wall to founding the coffee company. Josh has been a Grady’s devotee for years, and is obsessed with finding out how his beloved iced coffee came to be.
TPM’s Tierney Sneed and Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern run through how we got here, what’s likely to happen, and what a ruling to allow the citizenship question to be added will mean for the court’s legitimacy and for the future of voting in the U.S.
Josh and TPM Senior Editor Allegra Kirkland speak with CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto about his new book, The Shadow War: Inside Russia’s and China’s Secret Operations to Defeat America.
The book is about “hybrid warfare”: The strategy of attacking an adversary while remaining just below the threshold of conventional war. China and Russia are already doing it, Sciutto says, and a growing number of countries are jumping on the bandwagon.
Yahoo News Chief Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff and Yahoo News Editor-in-Chief Dan Klaidman join Josh to talk through the earliest days of the Russia story and its current state. Isikoff and Klaidman also discuss a recent political firestorm that emerged, unexpectedly, from the podcast they co-host, Skullduggery.
Al-Monitor’s diplomatic correspondent Laura Rozen walks Josh through what we know and where things are likely to go next.
Josh, David, and TPM reporter Josh Kovensky discuss the implosion of the NRA — and the real possibility that the organization might be dissolved or reorganized as the result of an investigation by New York’s attorney general.
After pedestrian Josh made some comments on Twitter about NYC bikers’ lack of respect for traffic rules, he holds a summit with biking advocate and podcaster Doug Gordon — a “moderate from the biking community” — to discuss why this issue is so charged here in NYC.
Josh, Tierney and John Light discuss Bill Barr’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, his refusal to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, and what we can expect from Barr going forward.
