The Florida state legislature, dominated by a Republican supermajority, immediately acted on Trump’s wishes to gerrymander the state and deliver him more GOP seats, as he becomes more and more unpopular. The map was passed in just three days during a swift special session. “Signed, Sealed, and Delivered,” DeSantis wrote immediately after signing the gerrymander into law.

This new map, which is illegal, directly violates the Florida constitution. In 2010, voters passed Amendment 6, which plainly states that “Congressional districts may not be drawn to favor or disfavor a political party.” That is certainly what DeSantis did, who repeatedly went on Fox News to brag about his political motivations surrounding the new gerrymandered map. Members of DeSantis’ own staff have admitted to using partisan data to assist in the creation of this new map.

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo sits down with Nikki Fried, Chair of the Florida Democratic Party, Former Florida Commissioner of Agriculture, and Florida’s last statewide elected Democrat. Fried tells us that how DeSantis has appointed six out of seven members of the Florida Supreme Court, making an independent decision regarding the map more difficult.

But Florida Democrats aren’t just sitting on their hands and giving up. As Fried tells us, “Now we’ve got lawsuits going on. We’ve got three that have been filed as of last week. We have our first hearing for an injunction on Friday.”

Rep. Crow was one of the six members of Congress who issued a statement last November calling on members of the U.S. military to refuse illegal orders from Donald Trump. Senator Mark Kelly, one of the lawmakers in the video, said: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.”

The video was met by brutal pushback from Trump and his allies, who apparently had a huge issue with lawmakers asking soldiers to uphold the law. Trump then ordered an investigation into the six lawmakers, including Rep. Crow, when former Fox News anchor Jeanine Pirro tried to indict the lawmakers. Additionally, the FBI began an investigation into Rep. Crow, to which he responded: “President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress.”

Trump tweeted that the lawmakers should be tried in court for “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” What actually happened, was that the indictments all failed, and Pam Bondi was fired by Trump.

Rep. Crow continues to speak out today against Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s illegal actions in Iran, in the Caribbean, and elsewhere. There is practically no limit to the illegality, from war crime double-tap strikes, to unconstitutional wars, to illegally using insider information to place massive bets on U.S. military activity overseas, allowing Trump and his family to massively profit off their government positions.

Brian also describes what he’s hearing from Trump’s own supporters calling into his show. They oftentimes express regret and doubt over their decision to support Donald Trump in 2024, but still can’t bring themselves to admit that a vote for Kamala Harris would have been better.

The MAGA base is largely faltering, with most supporters abandoning the movement, but the true believers are still committed. And those people are getting louder and more desperate, lashing out in every direction as the failures pile up. From a cratering economy, broken tariff promises, 20 million people losing healthcare, and a “big beautiful bill” that handed a hundred billion dollars in tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% of Americans, MAGA hasn’t quite gotten what they bargained for.

Jo and Brian also discuss the Epstein files, specifically Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s documented lies about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the three million files still withheld from the public by the DOJ, and the blatant lack of accountability and transparency regarding the abusers. Trump ran on releasing the truth. He’s now protecting the people inside it. Brian asks the question that MAGA refuses to answer: what exactly has this president accomplished for the people who voted for him?

With Trump polling at 20% among independents and approval ratings in the low thirties, there is surely a midterm reckoning on the horizon for Republicans. And we’re here for it.

In the end, Kamala Harris did win the Gen-Z vote, but not by much. Young people only voted for Harris/Walz by 4 points in 2024, down significantly from Biden/Harris’ 25 point victory in 2020.

Cut to 2026. In the midst of a turbulent economy and growing discontent among young people with current political leadership, recent polls show a staggering 76% disapproval rating and a net approval of -53 among 18-29 year olds for Donald Trump.

Isaiah Martin, political commentator and former Democratic Congressional candidate in TX-18, joins this episode of The Siren Podcast to discuss all things Gen-Z and more. Jo and Isaiah also get into the latest surrounding the Republican effort to gerrymander the South, cutting large groups of voters and key demographics out of holding political power.

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo sits down with New Jersey Senator Andy Kim to discuss the dangers and destructiveness of this latest funding bill. As Senator Kim told us: “ICE has become basically an equivalent of a military operation, right? It’s funded higher than most countries fund their militaries.”

We’ve already seen ICE’s massive budget used to terrorize Americans on the streets of their cities, resulting in the executions of two U.S. citizens and illegal detainment of countless people. Detainees have reported rampant, unsafe health conditions within ICE detention centers, with access to medical treatment often being denied by agents. Children are routinely blocked from visiting with their families, and relatives are completely left in the dark when a loved one is kidnapped by ICE, unable to be located.

Upwards of 3,000-4,000 ICE and DHS agents were sent to Minnesota earlier this year, more than double the amount of local law enforcement, who were severely understaffed in providing support and safety to the area due to ICE’s presence.

In addition, Senator Kim told us about ICE’s $130-140 million purchase of a warehouse in Roxbury, New Jersey, to store massive new amounts of ICE detainees. The warehouse, according to ICE’s own estimates, will cost taxpayers another $150 million to rehabilitate the facility, and an additional $200-300 million to operate the building.

Republicans passed this massive funding increase for ICE in the middle of the night for a reason, because they don’t want Americans to hear about it. Senator Kim is shining a light on their latest disastrous action, and we’re lucky to have him.

Congressman Jared Moskowitz joins us on this episode of The Siren Podcast to discuss this insane new story. On the topic of Bondi’s refusal to abide by the subpoena, Moskowitz tells us: “If she isn’t willing to show, I think they’re going to have no choice but to hold her in contempt. And look, she could lose her law license if she’s found in contempt of Congress.”

When the Clintons testified on the Epstein files back in February, James Comer, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, was giddy at the idea of holding them in Contempt of Congress. But now, when Pam Bondi is actively evading a Congressional Subpoena, he’s gone radio silent.

At every turn, Donald Trump has attempted to strong-arm members of Congress who were looking to do the right thing and fight for accountability. At one point, Rep. Lauren Boebert was summoned into the Situation Room to try and pressure her out of voting ‘Yes’ on the Epstein Files discharge petition. The White House then said a vote to release the files would be considered a hostile act against Trump.

Subscribe now

Pam Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein Files has been a downright disgrace, to say the least. Not only is it a stain on our justice system within the United States, but for the survivors who so bravely spoke out against their abusers and demanded action.

Still today, Pam Bondi has refused to answer why a binder full of supposed Epstein documents were handed out to MAGA Twitter influencers. Or why Trump called the files a “hoax.” Or why the names of co-conspirators were redacted. Or why Kash Patel declared that Epstein only trafficked his victims to himself. Or a million other incomprehensible statements and actions that must be explained.

All of this is very fitting for the “most transparent administration in U.S. history.” All this and more, right here on The Siren Network.

In his latest effort to reward those who attempted to overthrow the United States and turn it into a dictatorship, Trump’s DOJ has now moved vacate the convictions of Proud Boys members who acted violently during the riot. Even though Trump pardoned the vast majority of Jan. 6 offenders (over 1,500) on the first day of his second term, some rioters only received commutations. This latest action by the DOJ would formally erase these remaining convictions, releasing four Proud Boys members who were charged with felonies and seditious conspiracy.

Under Donald Trump, the DOJ sounds and operates like Orwell’s Ministry of Truth from 1984, with DOJ officials saying these Jan. 6 convictions should be overturned "in the interests of justice." Trump isn’t just giving these insurrectionists a get-out-of-jail free card. He’s trying to vacate their sentences, or in other words, saying “your crime never happened.”

As Harry Dunn tells us on this episode of The Siren Podcast: “What this also does is creates an avenue, if you will, for these people to sue the government. Because if they vacate their convictions, what’s to stop them from saying, ‘Hey, I was prosecuted unfairly and maliciously.’ There’s nothing to stop that. They will file civil lawsuits and sue the government. And the biggest thing that I want people to understand about these lawsuits, not only is it crap and a slap in the face, it’s costing the American taxpayers money.”

Trump’s mental state has grown so concerning, that Congressman Jamie Raskin, alongside 65 House Democratic co-sponsors, introduced legislation to finally establish the independent Commission on Presidential Capacity called for in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. As Raskin said, “Section 4 of the 25th Amendment empowers Congress to establish a permanent ‘body’ that, with the concurrence of the Vice President, can declare that the President is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

But Congress never created this body in the more than 50 years since the amendment was ratified. Republicans spent four years obsessing over Joe Biden’s mental acuity. The question is whether they’ll show the same urgency for a president who is actively threatening genocide on a holiday morning and posting pictures of himself as Jesus Christ healing people with his glowing hands.

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo sat down with Andy Ostroy to discuss Trump’s escalating erratic behavior, the MAGA mutiny that’s underway, Eric Swalwell’s resignation from Congress, Trump’s Epstein coverup, and what is shaping up to be a historic blue wave in the 2026 midterms.

Today’s guest on The Siren Podcast, Amy McGrath, called this war “the worst strategic defeat in my lifetime.” McGrath knows a thing or two about the military and armed conflict. Over her 20 years of service in the military, Amy flew 89 combat missions, led Marines in some of the toughest places on earth, and served at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, working to shape America’s national security. McGrath was the first woman to fly a combat mission for the Marine Corps and the first woman to pilot the F/A-18 in a combat mission. She’s now running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Kentucky.

Through an endless barrage of incomprehensible statements from Trump, Leavitt, Hegseth, and Rubio, which on any given day contain a novel’s worth of different statements explaining the state of the war and our goals, the effects of the war have actually hurt the United States.

We have not destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities (after Trump said last June that we had). Iran still has their enriched uranium. We have not achieved regime change. The “unconditional surrender” that Trump wanted has not occurred (in fact, we’ve gotten the opposite). Iran has not stopped funding terrorist groups across the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed (as a result of Trump’s war), allowing Iran to hugely profit from this conflict, with Bloomberg estimating Iran to be earning hundreds of millions of dollars in extra income from oil sales.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, oil and gas prices domestically are skyrocketing. According to this morning’s Consumer Price Index report, Trump’s Iran war has caused inflation to triple in the last month alone, a record spike, with consumer sentiment falling to an all-time low as a result.

Every major news organization is now reporting that Pam Bondi is about to lose her job, with Semafor reporting Trump has informed Pam Bondi that her time as Attorney General is nearing an end.

And honestly? This decision is not a surprise, after Bondi’s disaster Congressional hearing in February, where she absolutely embarrassed Trump in front of the entire country with her wildly argumentative and unprofessional behavior.

Of course, Trump’s looming decision to fire Pam Bondi has roots in her handling of the Epstein files, with the fake Epstein Files binder “release” alongside MAGA influencers at the White House. After that moment, there was radio silence on the Epstein Files until Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie forced their release through Congress. These documents have led to some of the most defining scandals, negative media coverage, and crises during Trump’s entire time in politics, and for good reason.

When you combine this with Trump’s entire base absolutely hating Pam Bondi, and openly trashing her, this decision makes even more sense. In addition, there is now reporting that Tulsi Gabbard is on the chopping block as well. And of course, this all follows Kristi Noem’s firing last month after her disaster handling of ICE, DHS, and her own clownish Congressional hearing, which seems to be the red line for Trump.

Bondi, Noem, and Gabbard have all been loyal soldiers for Trump. They have attempted to shield him through pedophile allegations, executions of American citizens, and countless illegal and unconstitutional actions. But with Trump, it’s never enough. He will always turn on you, no matter how loyal you might have been, or how much ass kissing you did. Because the only person he cares about is himself, and his own survival.

Simply put, Bondi and Noem have caused Trump more problems than they have solved for him. And it’s because inherently, they are bumbling buffoons who have no business running parts of the federal government. A core staple of Trump’s second term, and authoritarian governments in general, is to pack executive leadership with unqualified people who in a normal country would never have been near the White House, allowing Trump and Stephen Miller to manipulate and control them easier.

This recent comment from Trump shines a light on this entire situation: “I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.”

Jo and Ron also discuss Marco Rubio’s 180 degree switch on his previous support for liberal immigration policy, and the stunning abandonment of Trump by his previous MAGA supporters, now that more and more Americans are realizing they’ve been played. They also discuss Trump’s speech yesterday which aired during primetime TV, allowing many Americans who have insulated themselves from politics to finally see Trump’s apparent mental decline.

Today, the vast majority of Americans don’t get their news from cable, or from legacy media outlets anymore. They get it from social media. From Facebook pages and Instagram posts shared in the family group chat. From “manosphere” podcasts like Joe Rogan and flashy YouTube shows designed to appeal to the growing anger from young men and the loneliness exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, both of which the MAGA movement has strongly capitalized on. This strategy, of “flooding the zone with sh*t” (as Steve Bannon put it) has been one of the most effective and influential operations in modern American politics, massively contributing to Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024.

Courier Newsroom is playing a leading role in fighting back and expanding the left’s media ecosystem, through a robust rapid response strategy on social media with Courier National. Additionally, Courier operates state-based newsrooms in crucial states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Just recently, Courier announced they would be expanding their newsroom operation to 20 states in 2026, including California, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, and Utah.

The domination of the right-wing media ecosystem has resulted in the GOP’s ability to shape the national conversation at a moment’s notice. The access lent to MAGA lawmakers has provided these new media operations with legitimacy given by legacy media, which we’ve all seen the ramifications of.

Without the growing media network on the left, such as Meidas Touch, Courier, Zeteo, The Bulwark, Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, Find Out Media, The Dangerous Ones, and yes, The Siren, Trump’s Epstein coverup would not have left such a massive impact. ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis and the hundreds of videos demonstrating their brutality, including the executions of Americans, would not have been viewed at the level they were, exposing the Trump regime’s authoritarianism. The list goes on and on.

Jo and Tara break down the anatomy of right-wing media dominance and what it actually takes to counter it, how Democrats are expanding their own media ecosystem, Courier’s Epstein Files search database, and Trump’s betrayal of his supporters.

No Kings 3 is shaping up to be the largest protest in U.S. History. Last October, during the second No Kings rallies, there were no shortage of reasons to protest. 5 months later, and there’s even more. We’re now in yet another war in the Middle East, gas prices are skyrocketing, ICE is executing protestors in the streets, invading airports, creating mass detention centers in warehouses where people are denied medical care and live in outright inhumane conditions, and much, much more.

Republicans are going all in on their efforts to pass the SAVE Act, a sweeping bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters, because they know they are going to get clobbered in the upcoming November midterms.

Over the past week, Trump has increasingly threatened that he will refuse to sign any legislation until the SAVE Act is passed, including a funding deal, and said during a speech, “If we get this, [Democrats] probably won't win an election for 50 years.”

Join us on this special edition of The Siren Podcast, hosted by Jo Carducci, to hear from Democratic lawmakers and creators on what you can do to STOP the passage of the SAVE Act, spread the word about the dangers of the bill, and learn exactly how Republicans are planning to tamper with your voting.

Make no mistake, Trump and his allies are not sending ICE to airports to help expedite long lines. Nor is ICE present to relieve TSA agents, who are currently without pay. Trump is sending a message to Americans, one of total control and power. That he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, as he repeatedly asserts that he will send ICE to polling places ahead of the midterms, and that Republicans should “take over” election centers. Of course, this is all connected to FBI’s raid of the Fulton County Elections Hub, where over 700 boxes of 2020 ballots were seized under the guise of "anomalies" and "fraudulent ballots."

As TSA agents go without pay, and airport lines spiral out of control, even Republican lawmakers are struggling to shift blame to Democrats while serving under a Republican controlled government. Earlier today, Republican Senator John Kennedy admitted that Trump is to blame for the TSA shutdown and subsequent long lines, saying: “[Trump] said ‘No deals with the Democrats.’ We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said ‘No deal.’”

When authoritarians flood public places with their hyper-political, secret police force, that’s never, ever a good sign. The Trump White House is attempting to normalize the presence of ICE agents in all our public spaces as an intimidation tactic. We must never accept this as normal.

Media pundits and personalities have pontificated endlessly about Joe Biden’s mental health. But Trump, who time and time again makes wildly false statements and incorrectly recounts information, gets off scot-free every time. Just recently, Trump called Gavin Newsom the “president of the United States,” while ranting about how Gavin Newsom is too dumb to be president (the irony is strong). And just last week, a confused Trump mistook Karoline Leavitt for Kellyanne Conway, mixing up Leavitt’s name for Conway’s multiple times, and never corrected himself.

These mental slips, combined with Trump’s apparent psychical health decline in the form of swollen ankles, a rash on his neck, drooping face, and dark bruising on his hand, add to rumors that Trump’s health is failing.

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, George Conway tells us: “[Trump’s] basic personality disorders are that he’s sociopath. He has no conscience, no remorse, no feelings of empathy for anyone. And he’s a complete narcissist. Everything is about him. He checks all the boxes for a diagnosis for two very, very severe personality disorders.”

The Trump DOJ has, unsurprisingly and illegally, slow-walked the release of the files, redacted names of non-victims, unpublished documents that were negative for Trump, withheld documents containing Trump’s name, and accidentally published nude images of minor victims. These images were only removed because the New York Times notified the DOJ of their publication.

The survivors of Epstein and his friends deserve accountability. But the DOJ is instead focused on carrying out Trump’s pointless and never-ending political retribution, while the FCC attacks the media for not reporting “the right way,” threatening to revoke broadcast licenses.

Make no mistake: These are the actions of an authoritarian regime with something to hide. There are no prosecutions taking place within the U.S., while across the pond in the U.K., resignations and investigations related to Epstein are spreading like wildfire.

As Congressman Khanna tells us on this episode: “We are still pushing to have the remaining files released, where there are a lot of the survivors’ accounts of the people who abused them. We’re pushing for accountability. I just had today, JoJo, a survivor text me saying, ‘Why is the person in these files who raped me not being prosecuted?’ Some of the people aren’t even famous. And I sent the name over to the Justice Department. Nothing is happening.”

A few years ago, running for Congress wasn’t on Harry Dunn’s mind.

But on Jan 6th, 2021, Harry’s life was changed forever. He stared down a mob of insurrectionists and rioters, some carrying confederate flags, eager to attack police officers and members of Congress.

In an interview with the New York Times, Harry said, “A lot of us Black officers fought a different battle than everybody else fought. I said to my buddy, ‘I got called [slur] a couple dozen times today.’ I’m looking at him. He’s got blood on him. I’ve got bloody knuckles. We’re hurting.

The DCCC focuses on supporting incumbent Democrats facing tough re-elections, and candidates running to flip districts blue across the country. As we’ve seen so far in 2025 and 2026, Democrats have flipped 28 state legislature seats across the nation and have over-performed in nearly every major election since the start of Trump 2.0, making a Democratic sweep increasingly likely during the midterms.

Just recently, Democrat Shawn Harris won the most votes during the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s old seat in Georgia, which will now go to a runoff.

The DCCC has put together a list of the districts across the nation most likely to flip blue in November and deliver a majority to Democrats, effectively stopping the Trump White House in its tracks.

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo speaks with former U.S. representative Denver Riggleman about the latest updates to the Iran War.

Today, MAGA mouthpiece and right-wing propagandist Karoline Leavitt said Trump had a “feeling” that Iran was going to strike the US. Imagine, for a second, the Republican reaction a Democratic president saying they went to war because they had a “feeling.”

It would be non-stop 24/7 news. It would be plastered all over Fox News incessantly. Your MAGA uncle and Trump sympathetic neighbors would tell you about it. But for Donald Trump, it’s just another Wednesday.

This comes after Pete Hegseth stated the Iran War could potentially last up to 8 weeks or more, saying the U.S. and Israel would unleash “death and destruction from the sky all day long.”

Jo and Denver discuss all this and more, right here on The Siren Network.
