Politics without the polish, the talking points, or the corporate-approved outrage.
The Unhinged Progressives takes a sharp, unapologetic look at the people, policies, personalities and political insanity shaping America. From Washington and the 2026 midterms to the culture wars, media madness and the issues dividing the country, we cut through the noise and call out the hypocrisy wherever we find it.
This isn't a lecture. It's not a campaign commercial. And it's definitely not another hour of politicians telling you what to think.
It's politics with attitude, humor, skepticism and plenty of WTF moments.
Because America has survived 250 years of political chaos. We'll survive this, too.
The Unhinged Progressives. Politics without the bullshit.

Midterm Elections Heat Up: Trump, Mail Voting, and the Texas Senate Race
The 2026 Midterm Elections are heating up, and the political battles are getting harder to ignore.
In the debut episode of The Unhinged Progressives, we examine the latest developments shaping the 2026 elections, including the fight for control of Congress, President Donald Trump’s political standing, and the growing battle over mail-in voting as the issue heads back toward the U.S. Supreme Court.
We also look at the controversy surrounding Trump’s “New America” map, growing tensions within the Democratic Party, and the debate over where progressive Democrats want their party to go next.
Then we come home to Texas for The Rant, focusing on the increasingly competitive 2026 Texas Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton. The race has drawn national attention, including a major $10 million advertising investment from MAGA Inc.
And we finish with The Good Stuff, featuring the remarkable story of a single mom who paid down $25,000 in debt in five months by selling more than 400 household items.
It's all here in the first episode of The Unhinged Progressives!
