How Our Political Parties Turned Toxic

Rick is joined by Whitney Fox, a local candidate running for Congress in Florida’s 13th district, to discuss her campaign’s focus on affordable housing, healthcare, and the rising cost of homeowners insurance in Florida. They criticize her opponent, Ana Paulina Luna, for following the radical MAGA playbook, prioritizing culture wars and media attention over the needs of local Floridians. Luna, often compared to Boebert, doesn’t even live in Florida—she resides in California. Follow Whitney Fox on X @whitfox and donate to her Congressional campaign at whitneyfoxforcongress.com.

Rick talks to Adam Frisch – who is running for Congress in Colorado’s 3rd district – and his son Felix – who is working on his campaign – on the importance of focusing on local issues and building trust with voters instead of getting caught up in national political drama. They highlight the issues facing his district, including immigration, water conservation, and access to affordable healthcare.

When did journalist lose interest in calling out members of Congress for lying to their constituents?

"A conservative Supreme Court is not a new problem. The way to get another Warren court is for Democratic presidents to appoint enough justices," writes Teri Kanefield.
