Hi. In today's episode, we look at how Hungary turned swiftly from a representative democracy into Viktor Orbán's autocratic regime, and how it is absolutely not at all in any way similar to what is currently happening in the United States. Except for, like, all the specific details.

Hi. Peter Thiel is a tech billionaire who is spending a lot of money trying to get right-wing goons elected, either to try and create a weird libertarian pseudo-feudal quasi-fascist fantasy dystopia, or just to keep himself very rich. Maybe both.

Hi. The Supreme Court – which has never been an apolitical entity – has been coming out with some really frightening rulings lately and is likely to keep it up. That's because fringe right-wing groups have infiltrated the Supreme Court and are now circumventing democracy to make laws.

Hi. This week, we're taking a look at the cruelty and shamelessness of when Ron DeSantis human trafficked a bunch of migrants to Martha's Vineyard. This did not go how the GOP thought it would, so they spent the last few weeks lying and pretending it did.

Hi. In today's episode, Rhiannon, Michael, and Peter from the 5-4 Podcast (@fivefourpod) join Katy and Cody to talk about a few Supreme Court rulings that likely got less attention than they should have in the wake of the Dobbs ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. They discuss junior varsity football coaches, Border Patrol agents using excessive force, and our vanishing Miranda rights.
