The Mayday Morning ShowRepublican Government Shutdown Chaos, Dominion’s MAGA Takeover, and Joe Walsh on the GOP’s CollapseThe government remains shut down as Republicans double down on chaos. The Mayday Morning Show hosts Julie Roginsky, Frederic Poag, and Michelle Kinney break down the latest from Washington, the quiet MAGA takeover of Dominion Voting Systems, and Trump’s escalating militarization rhetoric.
Former GOP congressman and presidential candidate Joe Walsh joins to talk about the party’s moral collapse and what comes next—though a few technical gremlins cut his interview short (apologies for the feedback!).
Plus: what the shutdown really means for ordinary Americans and why courage still matters.

The Daily WhateverThe Daily Whatever, Oct 14: The CDC and Dept of Ed Wipe Out with Frederic PoagWe started Tuesday with a bang—or maybe a nervous laugh. Dana DuBois and I were both feeling that weird mix of existential dread and gallows humor that defines being alive in 2025. It’s the kind of morning where you joke about “a day that will live in infamy” and then realize… yeah, that might actually happen. But the caffeine was strong, the chat was lively, and Tycho the cat was already stealing the show, so off we went.Our guest today was the incomparable Frederic Poag, fresh off his new morning gig on the Mayday Network with Julie...

The Salty LiveTACO 🌮 Tuesday: Trump’s Failing Health & Falling NumbersA belated release of this week’s Taco Tuesday with Frederic Poag and Michelle Kinney! We had such a great time talking about life — with a little politics sprinkled in. This week we discussed the existential question of our times: if your significant other turned into a Trumper after marriage (like RFK Jr. did), would you stick with the relationship (like Cheryl Hines has) or would you bail?This was a tougher one for some of us than for others. Let me know what you think in the comments. If you need...

The Salty LiveTACO TuesdayThank you to so many of you for tuning into my live video with Frederic Poag yesterday.For those who missed it, we had so much fun talking Trump’s TACO tariff policies, football, tequila and restaurant recommendations.

They don’t take credit cards or reservations, so show up early with a wad of cash. It’s worth it.)Take a look above and let me know your thoughts.In the meanti...

The Salty LiveLessons From NYC, Trump Big Beautiful Failures, & How Democrats Can WinThanks to everyone who tuned into my live conversation with Frederic Poag last night about the future of the Democratic Party. We didn’t just address the problems — we also talked about solutions.I’ve been asked why I focus so much on the Democrats, rather than exclusively pointing out the failures of the Trump Administration. The answer is simple: you can’t beat somebody with nobody. And right now, Democratic leaders are not showing up to beat Trump at every turn. Until they do, Democrats will not be competitive longterm and we will not be able to resto...
