Episodes
-
Rage at the Regime
Poor Katie Z lasted less than a half-Scaramucci. It would have been tempting for the MOMocrats to spend the hour talking about her and the exit of former Greek Ambassador and grifter Kimberly Guilfoyle - but as usual, there were more pressing topics to discuss... ...such as the ridiculous DOJ...
-
Doing the Wave
If you thought the electorate was in a sour mood over inflation in 2024, there is no amount of honey that can fix the bile of voters faced with $4.00 gas and a 70% increase in the cost of diesel. (You don’t even want to know what it costs here in California!) Trump knows he’s in trouble, which...
-
Next Level Schmitt
This was another week where we had to face A plummeting economy Trump’s ongoing war of choice in Iran Pentagon Pete’s hollowing out of military experts The United States aligning itself more closely with Russia ICE’s stealth siege of communities throughout the country the Supreme Court’s…

The Gilded Rage
Ten years of living with Trump's blatant corruption, dictator hero worship, lawlessness, election threats, and trampling on our rights is exhausting. But the rise of the oligarchy that Republican policies have enabled is killing our democracy. MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills are enraged...
-
Live Long and Prosper?
MOMocrats Aliza Worthington and Donna Schwartz Mills have been thinking of Star Trek, which anticipated a future of voice-activated computers, bloodless non-invasive surgeries, and diverse, inter-galactic cooperation. What we've actually got is an AI industry that is suddenly calling for some…
more -
The Cheating Has Been Turbo-Charged
Trump 2.0 was already everything everywhere at once. But now the hits are coming faster. We’ve got election rigging on multiple fronts, right out in the open. We’ve got a Middle East quagmire that is depleting our defenses (despite the military’s trillion dollar budget). We’ve got the Interior...
-
Harping on Natalie
Natalie Harp (a/k/a Trump's "Human Printer") has been EVERYWHERE this week, thanks to a mass MAGA freakout over a Jon Ossoff campaign speech last weekend. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills dish about Natalie and the national security problems she represents (especially...
-
The Biggest Loser is Donald Trump
Trump’s losing streak includes all the attempts to prove election fraud in 2020, take over the elections in 2026, his tariffs, bogus cases against protesters and people who touched the water of the reflecting pool, put his name on the Kennedy Center, and his war of choice in Iran. And the fact…
more -
Matryoshka of Corruption
The Trump era news cycles are jam packed with outrages, and this was a particularly packed week. There were so many stories related to Trump’s greed and corruption that you could almost see a pattern, with less obvious crimes lurking beneath each broad assault. Like an onion. Or Russian nesting...
-
Living in Trump's World
In an ideal world, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills might spend an hour talking about important things like the war in Iran, climate change and the massive fires in Canada and Europe, Open AI’s rogue agent that escaped its experimental sandbox and hacked several other...
-
The War Must Go On
It’s surprising how little has changed since the last time MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talked politics together (other than the passing of Lindsey Graham). We are still mired in Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran, which appears to be escalating again, as the...
-
News From the Islamic Republic of Japan
Once again, Donald Trump' embarrassed the United States on the world stage at the NATO summit, by speaking incoherently, mistaking Volodymyr Zelensky for "President Putin," and making up entire nations. But this week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills had the most to…
more -
The SAVE Act Will NEVER Be Passed
This week, MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills talked about Trump’s bonkers decision to hold the bipartisan bill hostage in order to get his voter-restriction SAVE Act passed The fact that the SAVE Act will never be passed “Algaegate“ The US Postal Service’s willingness to help Trump…
more -
The Obamas Stay Classy
Trump's ill-advised, badly executed Iran War is ending just as disastrously as it began. He's determined to block a Blue Wave election by cheating in every way imaginable. The grifting and corruption of his regime and its billionaire supporters is on an astronomical scale. And along came Michelle...
-
Don't Forget the Epstein Files
On Tuesday, we learned just how much the Administration tried to keep that information under wraps, especially as it related to Donald Trump. (The URL above is a gift link, in case any of you still have not been able to read the whole thing). MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna…
more -
Bye Bye Billion Dollar Ballroom
MOMocrats Aliza and Karoli went at it alone this week while Donna cavorted in Paris on her birthday. From the ballroom to the newly announced $1.776 Billion-with-a-B slush fund, it seems like this administration just tosses so many balls in the air it's impossible to catch them. But keep your…
more -
Superpower Suicide Watch
Donald Trump brought along a whole slew of oligarchs (and his grifting family) for his meeting with Xi Jinping in China this week. He says he made “fantastic trade deals.” (For whom, we wonder.) But the Strait of Hormuz is still closed with no end in sight to Trump’s Iran debacle - and inflation...
-
That Ballroom is Gonna Cost WHAT?!
On Monday, the United States launched “Project Freedom” in the Strait of Hormuz. On Tuesday, it was all over. We’re not any closer to ending Donald Trump’s foolhardy war against Iran. But the S&P 500 is up 11% since the bombs started dropping, and that’s really what it’s all about, right? This…
more -
May Day! May Day!
The regime got a huge boost this week from the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Callais v Landry, which put the final nail in the coffin of the Voting Rights Act. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discuss the Democrats’ win over DHS funding, King Charles' visit…
more -
We Gotta "Budapest" This Election
Hungary's election on Sunday was a political earthquake felt around the world. “Everybody should really pay attention to this because it’s huge,” Karoli says in this week’s podcast. “But also it is a lesson in how one disgruntled guy who used to be a member of the party that Orban was in, decided...
-
He Must Be Removed
MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills all needed to talk out their feelings of fear, disgust, and absolute rage over Donald Trump’s and Pete Hegseth’s war crimes (and yes, a credible threat to commit genocide - as the ones Trump issued this week - is a violation of both US...
-
The DOJ Loses Its Very Own Regina George
The occasion of Pam Bondi's firing gave MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills the fodder for a discussion that was a little more light-hearted than usual - even though they are bracing themselves for a replacement at DOJ who will be even worse (because after 10 years of…
more -
Who Benefits From This War? It Ain't Us.
Trump’s poll numbers are plummeting further as his war of choice in Iran supercharges oil prices into the stratosphere. The global economy will soon be suffering from higher food prices, scarcer pharmaceuticals, and more expensive manufactured products like semi-conductors. And yet, there are…
more -
He Was Unfit Then. And He's Unfit Now.
MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about Trump's war in Iran, and his absolute unfitness for office (the war will be over when he feels it in his bones???). They talked about the MAGA split over the war, and counterterrorism chief Joe Kent’s resignation. There was…
more -
War is Hell.
Note that the MOMocrats dropped this week's first F-bomb in the intro to this week's podcast. That's just how frustrated Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills are feeling with Donald Trump's burgeoning Middle East quagmire - which he started without a purpose, a goal, or any kind of...
-
Good and Cooked
So now the United States is at war with Iran, for reasons (which keep on changing). A war that seems to have been slapped together at the last minute, because there appears to have been no coordination with DHS (which is still focused on waging war here on our own people) or the State Department...
-
We're ALL a Little ADHD
It feels to the MOMocrats as if the news cycle itself has been weaponized against us. Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills were prepared this week to talk about DHS/ICE funding, more Epstein bombshells, Pam Bondi's appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, tariffs, voting...
-
The State of Things is Chaos
The Trump administration is like an arsonist in a 100-mph Santa Ana wind, starting fires and spreading them in every direction. This makes focusing on any one disaster for more than a day very difficult - which is, of course, the point. This week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna...
-
Have We Reached a Tipping Point?
The last time Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills chatted, they criticized the seven House Democrats who helped pass the budget bill (when we should have held out for concessions that would claw back ICE funding). That was one week ago. It feels like a month. The MOMocrats spent…
more -
Madness in Davos, Lawlessness in Minneapolis
Dear Leader pulled a TACO in Davos, putting an end to speculation over the US invading Greenland - at least, for now. And Karoli today introduced us all to her daughter’s adorable dog, Tako - who isn’t scary at all. Trump’s speech before world leaders yesterday was bonkers - even for him. And as...
-
Cosplaying Would-Be Revolutionaries
The MOMocrats are still angry over what happened to Renee Good and the occupation of Minneapolis. And Gilmar Abrego Garcia. And every US resident who was sent to CECOT. And Venezuela. And no healthcare subsidies… Inflation… threats to Greenland… kowtowing to Putin… the Pentagon committing war...
-
Murder in Minnesota
The vampires behind Project 2025 kept on going during the holidays: releasing Jack Smith’s testimony on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, “finding” at least one million more Epstein documents (that they have not released), and kidnapping arresting the leader of Venezuela. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza...
-
MOMocrats Make Merry
This week, MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills mourned the loss of actor/filmmaker/activist Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle. The circumstances of their deaths - and the reaction of our narcissist-in-chief - are still shocking. Speaking of Trump, it was an easy segue to...
-
Darkest Before the Dawn
The news this week was DARK. But points of light remain. Just before the MOMocrats went live on Wednesday, we learned that the United States had seized a Venezuelan oil tanker, which - as Karoli points out - is either piracy… or an act of war. Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills...
-
The Fog of War Crimes
MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about the extrajudicial killings of people on boats in the Caribbean and the new details make it very clear that the US -under the leadership of Trump and Hegseth - is committing war crimes. Is this what prompted those Democratic...
-
Lame Duck Hunting Season
Karoli, Aliza, and Donna talked about yesterday’s stunning passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act - and the very bad, terrible, no good week experienced by the President. Also on today’s agenda were the agony of buying healthcare insurance without expanded subsidies, “the affordability,”...
-
What a Year This Week Has Been
Last week's post election celebration is a faded memory. Among the MOMocrats topics today were the end of the shutdown, the future of ACA subsidies, those Epstein files released this morning… and that awful Ross Douthat piece in the NYT and Vanity Fair response. And we learned a new word for…
more -
The New Blacklist Era
It was a dire week (which is something the MOMocrats have been saying a lot). Donna, Karoli, and Aliza talked about the fallout from the murder of Charlie Kirk (and Jimmy Kimmel is just the latest high profile victim of the new McCarthyism). They also touched upon the regime’s attack on the...
-
It's the Guns. Again.
The MOMocrats prepared a long list of political news to talk about today, which did not include any mention of Charlie Kirk. But once again, everything changed in an instant, thanks to a person with a firearm - and the discussion on gun violence in the US continues. Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and...
-
Shut It Down
If we were living through normal times, the month of August would have been relatively quiet. Instead, we got ICE raids and economic jolts, amid National Guard deployments to American cities and mid-cycle gerrymandering. Not to mention the Epstein saga. And now that Congress is back in session…
more -
Happy Labor Day. Now, Get Back to Work.
The MOMocrats ask: Has there ever been a summer that's gone by so quickly? (And now that it's ending, does that mean that the pace of crazy is just going to accelerate FASTER?) Among the topics covered by Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills this week are: the latest mass school shooting in Minnesota...
-
The Ministry of Truth Has Entered the Room
The regime has sent the military into the nation's capital, proving that this summer's occupation of Los Angeles was only a dress rehearsal for the regime's plans to invade other American cities (in Blue states). But even more disheartening has been the acceleration of Project 2025's efforts to...
-
Who's Gonna Stop Him?
This week, Trump ordered a new census based on 2024 numbers - and excluding non-citizens. “Why is it that newspapers cannot say it’s unconstitutional?,: grouses MOMocrat Karoli. And when she pointed out on social media that this latest EO was unconstitutional, someone came back at her with “Who’s...
-
The Epstein Questions Keep On Coming
Will Trump pardon convicted child abuser and known perjurer Ghislaine Maxwell in return for her “exonerating” him? Where’s the missing footage from that “raw” recording Bondi released? And will the Wall Street Journal continue to release bombshells from the Epstein files, which Trump claims would...
-
Epsteinpalooza
TThe regime is flailing in its attempts to keep Donald Trump's real history with Jeffrey Epstein - and MOMocrats are all in. Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills also talked about that Hunter Biden interview, that brutal South Park episode (on the heels of the Skydance-Paramount merger), and how the...
-
Pass the Popcorn
We're not gonna lie: The last six months have been grim, and the regime’s rapid theft and consolidation of power from the other branches of government continues apace. We did not like waking up to the news that the Senate passed the rescission package (giving Trump legal authority to defund $8...
-
Tragedy and Travesty
One week after the floods that killed over 100 people in Texas, the tragedy in ongoing. People are wondering how much DOGE’s cuts to the National Weather Service and NOAA factored into it. Journalist Marisa Kabas has reported that as of Monday, only 86 FEMA employees were on the ground in Texas...
-
Saturday Night War Porn
Saturday night was interrupted by the Trump regime announcing that the United States had answered Israel's pleas by sending American pilots to drop 14 "bunker buster" bombs on Iranian targets. If you're getting flashbacks of Iraq in 2003, you're not alone. After all, this is yet another...
-
SCOTUS Delivers Another Turd of a Decision
Amid the military occupation of the nation's second largest city (and threats to take over others), the jubilation of the largest US protests since the civil rights era, a flop of a parade in DC, ICE goons wreaking havoc throughout the country, bogus arrests of Democratic lawmakers, the political...
-
LA Don't Play
In violation of Federal law and without justification, Trump has ordered Federal troops into Los Angeles... to quell a conflict that was started by HIS OWN Department of Homeland Security. And it gets worse by the minute. At Kristi Noem's press conference today, her goons forcibly removed and...
