After the Blue Tsunami rocked the 2026 mid-term elections, we’re entering a brave new world. A new progressive agenda in the Democratic Party is descending on Washington D.C. to confront Trump’s authoritarianism, the affordability crisis, war and genocide in the Middle East, and weak Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
Listen in:
In our latest episode, we talk with Sam Rosenthal, political director at Roots Action, about the momentum that the progressive agenda (affordability, anti-ICE, anti-war, anti-genocide, etc.) has after the 2026 elections. We also talk about existential crisis happening within the Democratic Party and what it means for the future of the party.
