Let THEM Lie and Fight Each Other with Congressman Jared Moskowitz
Congressman Jared Moskowitz joins Jo for a no-holds-barred breakdown of a week so stupid you can’t make it up: Congress duck-walks away from the Epstein files, Republicans lock arms to shield the secrets their own base is demanding, and suddenly the MAGA mob is eating itself while Trump twirls behind the curtain. Moskowitz drags the whole charade from Russian nesting dolls of lies, binder theatrics, Bondi’s “desk,” and a GOP so tangled they can’t remember which version they’re selling.But it’s not just the spectacle. Jo and Moskowitz dig into the GOP’s next-level sabotage on disaster response; how Kristi Noem gutted FEMA, why children in Texas paid the price, and why Republicans are poised to claim “government doesn’t work” after personally setting it on fire. You’ll hear why outrage matters annd exactly what Democrats must do: stay on offense, call out the lies, and never trust the old rulebook.Subscribe and Follow Jo:https://linktr.ee/jojofromjerz Hosted on Acast.

Handing Over the Keys: Senator Angus King on Power Grabs, PBS Cuts, and Why Congress Needs a Spine
Jo sits down with Senator Angus King—Maine’s straight-shooting Independent and connoisseur of constitutional reality checks—for a conversation that blows the lid off Washington’s latest “power of the purse” giveaway. From Congress rolling over on the Rescissions Act (“one more building block in the edifice of authoritarianism”) to the boneheaded crusade against PBS, NPR, and USAID, Senator King calls out the dangerous shift: lawmakers too scared to do their jobs, too eager to hand the President a blank check.They break down why these budget “rescissions” aren’t about fraud or waste—they’re about ideology and giving the executive free rein to decide what gets funded, what gets axed, and whose voices and lives are on the chopping block. If you want a sanity check on what the Founders actually intended, and why the final line of defense is still us, this is the alarm bell you can’t afford to sleep through.Subscribe and Follow Jo:https://linktr.ee/jojofromjerz Hosted on Acast.
