Pulitzer Prize winning historian and author Anne Applebaum joins the Strategy Session to discuss how autocracies work together to undermine the democratic world, and how we should organize to defeat them. Anne's new book "Autocracy, Inc." comes out on Tuesday, July 23, and she'll be with us on release day to discuss her book and why she's calling on democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat.
“'This was the moment Trump became president' became a running joke during Trump’s actual presidency," writes Jill Lawrence in her latest piece. Is there any reason to believe this time is different? Join Rick, Stuart, and Joe with guest, author and columnist Jill Lawrence to discuss Trump's non-pivot, J.D. Vance, and how we should really view the GOP convention.
“When it comes time for the fascists to frog-march journalists out of the newsroom at gunpoint, the journalists will compete for the exclusive rights to cover it.” ~Mark Jacob

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her dissenting opinion in yesterday's terrible, horrible, no-good SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity. So, we're wondering where the asterisks were in Chief Justice Robert's 2005 statement and Justice Alito's in 2006 below? It must be there somewhere because they have a big whopping exception for Donald Trump's lawlessness. We'll get into what it all means with our special guest, former Biden-Harris Admin member, Gevin Reynolds.
“I believe that no one is above the law under our system and that includes the president. The president is fully bound by the law, the Constitution, and statutes.” Chief Justice John Roberts, 2005
“There is nothing that is more important for our republic than the rule of law. No person in this country, no matter how high or powerful, is above the law.” Samuel Alito, 2006
Dr. John Gartner, founder of "Duty To Warn," is back with Rick, Stuart, and Joe to discuss what to keep an eye out for in Thursday's debate. Yeah, Joe Biden is old and shows normal physical and mental signs of aging. Trump, as Dr. Gartner explains, has significant cognitive deterioration consistent with dementia. How do you spot the differences? Well...it has something to do with sharks, water pressure, flies, and someone not named Biden thinking he ran against Barack Obama in 2020. Dr. Gartner will give us the 411 on what to watch for - Tuesday at 7 PM ET.
The first debate is a little over a week away, and it’s got everyone on all sides a bit…nervous. Simon Rosenberg joins Rick, Stuart, and Joe to do a little debate prep. Plus, prison is about to get a lot…sweatier. Will Stevie "Two Shirts" Bannon be allowed to wear two jumpsuits? What really matters is that he and others are starting to face accountability for their crimes. Will that move the dial for democrats? Simon is full of hope. Catch The Strategy Session tonight at 7p ET. Join us!
We focus every second on how to win in November - rightly so. But there’s another thing we need to keep our eye on - what comes next. Yes, yes, yes, this election is the most important election for our democracy in at least a generation. Maybe the most important in our history. But winning at the polls this time won’t make our problems vanish. Leigh McGowan - also known as PoliticsGirl - joins Rick, Joe, and Stuart to talk about her new book and the Six American Principles - Six ideals, rooted in history, that we can all agree make America, America.

Dr. Mercieca is the author of "Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump" and will deep dive with the guys about the power of language in an authoritarian movement. They will explain the effectiveness of Trump's rhetoric on his base, the amplification of it across MAGA media, and the mainstream media's continuing failure to rise to the seriousness of this time. Rick, Stuart, Joe, and Jen will also discuss what the pro-democracy coalition messaging needs to be to combat and overcome Trump from campaigns to the grassroots. And we'll be taking your questions live! Join us for the first in this special media-focused series, Tuesday at 8 PM ET, right after the Strategy Session.
One of the essential voices in the pro-democracy fight is journalist and author of the newsletter “America, America,” Steven Beschloss. Tonight he joins Rick, Joe, and Stuart to discuss the GOP strategy of denial. Deny election results. Deny jury verdicts. Deny. Deny. Deny. Maybe their goal is to deny their way to victory. Or…maybe…they want to make our entire system - elections, the rule of law, decency, and democracy - meaningless.

Unprecedented gets tossed around a lot these days, but Donald is having a truly singular moment for a former American president: the only one to ever be the defendant in a criminal trial. After seemingly endless delays, this first criminal trial sort of snuck up on a lot of people, but the impact could be thunderous. Or…not? When Sleepy Don isn't napping in court, he's getting warned by the judge not to attempt juror intimidation! It's another pro-democracy wake-up call! Join Rick, Joe, and Stuart for The Strategy Session tonight at 7p ET.
