  • Summary

  • American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

  • Fed Up & Fired Up: A Conversation with Chamber of Mother’s Erin Erenberg

    Fed Up & Fired Up: A Conversation with Chamber of Mother’s Erin Erenberg
    Sep 10 2024
    The women of this nation hold the spending AND voting power so why are we so constantly marginalized? Tired of being overlooked, used as pawns, and ready to be taken seriously, we talk to Erin Erenberg, co-founder and CEO of the Chamber of Mothers, about the growing collective movement to advance maternal rights in America. The truth of the matter is: we’re hardly a country that should be forcing women to have babies, since the US is currently experiencing a maternal health crisis and we barely respect the role or what goes into it. It’s well past time our needs are better reflected and responded to by our government. It’s not just what’s best for mothers and their children, but what’s best for society as a whole.

  • America: Built on Work - A Conversation Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su

    America: Built on Work - A Conversation Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su
    Sep 3 2024
    Happy Labor Day!!! Department of Labor’s Acting Secretary Julie Su reminds us that the Biden Administration has been focused on building what they call the “high road to the American dream”. That looking out for the American worker is not just about having enough work, it’s about those workers being paid properly, treated with respect, and at the end of the day, giving our citizens what President Biden calls “a little breathing room” to live our lives. How do we “pursue happiness” without that? On this Labor Day we dig into the Department of Labor and all the programs and agencies ready and willing to help the American people that most of us don’t even know about, and the importance of having a government that not only respects our workers but will fight for them.

Excellent

My patriotism is full bore, your thoughts have been within my own for five years. As a vet it saddens me that other vets think their oath means to degrade or take over our country.

Lucky to live in Michigan.

I was born in Detroit and have lived in Michigan my entire life. I grew up in a Republican family. I paid little attention to politics until Trump entered the scene. I couldn't believe what was going on in this country. The things discussed in this Pod Cast I have lived through. Since we have had Governor Whitmore in power I feel the people's opinions are heard. Things have been changing for the better and the damn roads are being repaired. Covid slowed the Governor's promises down but never stopped her. I am a graduate from Michigan State University. The mass shooting hear was heart breaking. The university, students and community have come together. All of the people were demanding changes to gun policies. Michigan's Goverment has heard and responded. So I truly believe I am lucky to live in Michigan.

Must-Listen Common Sense Political Analysis

Her well-reasoned perspective of the most critical political moment of our time should be on every American's playlist.

Hair on Fire

I knew Christian Nationalism was coming to the surface in America but had no idea it was this pervasive. Everyone should lusten to this podcast and start screaming as if you hair is on fire until you get everyone's attention!!!

Excellent recap of Trump justice

Two of my favorites together talking about the federal cases against Trump and his coconspirators. They break down the last several years and make it easy to understand. I'm only sorry to say there is no swearing.
