- Trump Accelerates Superpower Decline as XI Plays the Long Game (ft. Sarah Longwell)
Scott Galloway and Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark break down Trump’s first visit to China since 2017, where discussions over trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and rare earth exports are expected to dominate the agenda. But looming over the entire trip is the increasingly fragile ceasefire with Iran, rising instability in the Persian Gulf, and growing economic pressure at home as gas prices surge nationwide. They unpack what leverage each side actually has going into the summit, why major tech CEOs are joining Trump’s delegation, and whether the administration’s strategy is focused more on geopolitics, economics, or projecting strength ahead of the election cycle. Plus: the early battle for the post-Trump future of the Republican Party is heating up, as JD Vance and Marco Rubio emerge as leading contenders for the MAGA mantle. Sarah shares insights from recent focus groups about who Republican voters are gravitating toward — and whether they want a new Trump, or something entirely different. And, they talk about the Democrats’ strategy heading into the midterm elections, and looking ahead toward possible candidates for president in 2028. Does the growing buzz around Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mean the momentum will be with her, or another progressive upstart in the mold of Bernie Sanders? Or do the Dems need to rally behind a middle-of-the-road moderate in order to take back the White House?

- It’s Time To Focus… Group (with Sarah Longwell and Julie Womack)
If you listen to this podcast, you know that suburban women are a key voting bloc coming into the midterm elections. And they are fired up – about abortion rights, about their kids’ schools, about voting rights, and so much more. So this week, we’re taking a moment to talk about what exactly is on suburban women’s minds right now. One of our favorite organizers, Julie Womack, drops by the pod to discuss what she’s been hearing on the ground. Rachel adds what she’s been hearing from women on her Troublemaker Tour, and Jasmine and Amanda talk about what they’ve been hearing in their communities. Everyone agrees that pundits and the media get a lot wrong about suburban women, like the idea that we’ll “forget” about reproductive rights, or that we’ll just vote with our husbands. (If anything, it’s the other way around! Republicans are starting to have not just a Suburban Women Problem, but a Dad Problem as well.) Rachel then sits down with Sarah Longwell of The Focus Group podcast. Sarah recently ran a focus group with suburban women and she shares those findings with Rachel. She also chats about her “flippers” – women who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020 – and how she thinks they’re likely to vote this year. Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to working parents, attending the Congressional Black Caucus conference, and to Amanda’s daughter getting to see the White House in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.” With the election just around the corner, it’s time to organize... like a woman! That means digging deep, getting vulnerable, and finding our courage. On Monday, October 10, Abbi Jacobson from A League of Their Own and Piper Perabo from Yellowstone are joining forces with Red Wine & Blue because they believe in the power of women supporting women.

On today’s episode, Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark and Amanda Weinstein discuss what the heck is going on in Washington. What’s the debt ceiling? Should we eliminate the filibuster? What’s the difference between the infrastructure bill and reconciliation? Are Democrats really in disarray? And most importantly… why should we care? After a quick primer on the debt ceiling from economist Amanda and an explanation of the filibuster by state rep Jasmine, Democratic strategist Adrienne Elrod joins the pod to help explain what is going on inside the Beltway. How can Democrats unite and fight against the right wing? If you want to reach out to your representatives to make sure they know you support the child tax credit, paid leave, and other legislation that will help American families, you can find your representative here or call the US Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Then Rachel sits down with Sarah Longwell to chat about her podcast The Focus Group. Sarah’s focus groups are a wild ride through the minds of MAGA voters, swing voters, and everyone in-between. She and Rachel talk about misinformation, suburban women, and what might keep swing voters from going back to the GOP. Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to being intentional, birthdays, hard conversations, and beautiful fall weather in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.” Do you feel like you could use some support figuring out how to respond to anti-mask, anti-vax, or anti-CRT messaging in your community?
