Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Kim Foxx Reflects On 8 Years As Cook County State’s Attorney

Foxx says voters elected her in 2016 to make fundamental changes to how the office operated with the people most impacted by the justice system.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: How Trump Could Reshape The U.S. Government

Last week, we started talking about the finer points of what Donald Trump's second presidency will look like — key policies he says he will implement, how much he can get done, and how quickly.

Now, with another week of big cabinet picks behind us, and confirmation that Republicans will hold majorities in both the Senate and House, we dive into one goal Trump is already making good on: radically changing the shape of the U.S. government in Washington.

We talk about what his choices mean for the government, and who might stand in the way of this overhaul.

Meanwhile, allies are already seeing the third world-style political decay, beyond the orgies and sexual assaults. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

Bad Faith - Episode 424 Promo – Democratic Alternative (w/ Michael Eric Dyson)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Academic, author, & ordained minister Michael Eric Dyson joins Bad Faith to debate the merits of voting for Kamala Harris specifically -- and Democrats more broadly -- as increasing numbers of the party membership acknowledge that they require significant reform after their 2024 electoral defeat. Are those claiming that "Bernie would have won" in 2016 and 2020 right? Or is there a case to be made for the more centrist Democratic Party approach -- even now? Rarely is someone with as large a platform as Dr. Dyson willing to join a progressive podcast for a rich debate on progressive strategy, so this one is a real treat.
