Respectfully, seems you aren’t familiar with them as partners. As an avid Armcherry, they’ve laid bare their relationship on numerous episodes. They are honest, irreverent and really fun together. And Dax is an amazing human. This was an unfortunate gaffe on her part. They’re good people.

Yes. AND what will piss us off the most. He doesn’t tend to try to get away with stuff we’d like. Like taking on Big Pharma and claiming “Biden was too weak to do it”.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Californians, this is it. In honor of the No Kings protests and to protect democracy, get that Prop 50 ballot in and vote YES.

Remind your friends, your family, and everyone you know—democracy only works if we do.

THIS is why we show up.
It's not just feel-good, it's not performative; it's motivating, it's positive and can be attractive for those on the fence.

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

today's subway reading:

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
