Rick+Lisa LIVE - 11/26/2025 - Thanksgiving Talk - & All the Crazy News in Trumpland

Thank you Shane Yirak, Neurodivergent Hodgepodge, Judith Evans, Susan Theriault, Deborah J., and many others for tuning into my live video with Lisa | We Are The Third Estate! Many thanks to all who joined our podcast tonight here on Substack and on YouTube. (Note: We dual-stream to YouTube to make it as easy as possible for people to watch. Tonight’s episode is here:We talk about Thanksgiving mental health, the breaking news of the tragic shootings of two National Guard troops in Washington DC, and our opinion of throwing 500 more troops into the mix without understanding the big picture first. We talk about Venezuela, and the other hot topic, Ukraine, along with strategies for de-escalating Thanksgiving dinner conversations that head into the political ditch. (Save yourself first! All oxygen masks, in this case, go on YOU before your guests).We hope you’ll join us for our next LIVE on Friday 11/28/2025. We’ll be sending out info on that soon.We also gave a hint at a preview of what we’ve been working on with a humble mind to answer the question, “how do we make the lives of journalists, writers, analysts, podcasters BETTER, while achieving an audacious goal of WINNING on progressive and democratic socialist (and Democratic ticket) CANDIDATES in 2026? It’s time to join the fight before us! There’s much to do, and we need your help.
