1) John Nichols, Executive editor of The Nation magazine, author, co-author and editor of over a dozen books, his latest cowritten with Senator Bernie Sanders is the New York Times bestseller "It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism." John will talk about his recent Nation magazine article, "Zohran Mamdani on FDR, LaGuardia—and Trump," on his hopeful interview with New York City Mayor-Elect, and the current political environment where there are increasing signs Donald Trump's MAGA world might be starting to fracture.

2) Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink Women for Peace and author, talks about President Trump's unconstitutional march to war with Venezuela, some pushback we're now seeing in Congress, the work Code Pink is doing to raise awareness about the regime's murderous interventionist policy, and the current lack of an active and effective U.S. peace movement.

3) John Bonifaz, constitutional attorney, and co-founder and president of the group Free Speech For People, discusses Rep. Al Green's (D-Houston) recent introduction of Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump, which was tabled by a House vote of 237-140, and what accountability for Trump's long list of unconstitutional and corrupt actions would and should look like if Democrats win back control of the House and/or Senate in the 2026 midterm election.

4) Mary Turner, RN, President of National Nurses United, the largest union and professional association of registered nurses in the U.S., discusses two issues the union is currently addressing: NNU's demand Congress take urgent action to restore ACA subsidies to prevent a spike in monthly health insurance premiums for some 24 million ACA policy holders, and the union's concern re: Pres.
