  From McConnell to Midterms: Accountability, Infighting & 2028

  Sep 24, 20261h 2m

  In this Shades of Jade round table, host Sam sits down with documentary filmmaker Andrew Linn and attorney-author Dennis A. Brennan. They start with Mitch McConnell’s public appearances, “proof of life,” and why Congress so rarely faces accountability—then widen out to term limits, aging officeholders, and how much of Biden’s decline was visible if you weren’t watching one network. The conversation turns to Republican infighting and celebrity politics, border enforcement and falling rents in places like Austin, Trump’s longer-term moves on China, Venezuela, and Greenland, and who might carry that agenda after 2028—Vance, Rubio, or DeSantis. They close with Sam’s confrontation of protesters outside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

  9/11 Anniversary and Fragmented Political Parties

  Sep 18, 20261h 23m

  In this Shades of Jade round table, host Sam is joined by filmmaker Sara Alessandrini (This Is What New Yorkers Say) and World Ablaze host George Fontes for a conversation that starts with the 25th anniversary of September 11—what it felt like then, how younger generations encounter the story now, and how the “war on terror” narrative has been rewritten. They talk about living near Newark Airport and the PATH under Ground Zero, Flight 93, conspiracy culture, Hasan Piker, and what it means when people who reject American institutions win city hall. The discussion then turns to the Democratic Party’s split among DSA voters, Trump-derangement voters, traditional Democrats, and the politically homeless, including John Fetterman’s break with the party line, why local races shouldn’t be run as anti-Trump ads, and whether midterms will bring a wave or just more fragmentation.

  Digital Democracy Project: How Voters Can Score Their Legislators

  Sep 12, 202653 min

  In this episode, host Sam welcomes back Sadie Holzmeyer, organizing director for the Digital Democracy Project—a nonpartisan nonprofit that lets verified voters cast advisory votes on the same bills as their legislators, then publishes side-by-side scorecards showing how closely elected officials match the people they represent. Sadie explains how the platform has grown from Florida to additional states and to federal bills, how photo-ID verification through partner Votes keeps results from being gamed, and how candidates and sitting lawmakers use the data to hear from real constituents, defend cross-party votes, and face voters at election time. They also cover plain-language bill summaries, how amendments get buried in unrelated bills, and why issue-based voting often looks different from party-line elections. - Start participating!
