How To Make Centrism Sexy (feat. Sen. Cortez Masto)

They dive into the fallout from Trump’s first 100 days back in office, the real-world impact of tariff chaos and budget cuts in Nevada, and why the political center might just be the future of the Democratic Party.

Why Democrats Need to Focus On the Economy (feat. Rep. Jared Moskowitz)
Jessica is joined by Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz for a candid, fiery, and unexpectedly funny conversation about the state of American politics—from legislative wins to messaging missteps. They dive into his bipartisan work with Rep. Byron Donalds to reform FEMA, efforts to expand the Child Tax Credit, and opposition to Pentagon research cuts. Moskowitz also reflects on the FSU shooting and how the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Act became a national reform model. Then, Jess and Jared unload on Democrats’ fixation with “20% issues,” their weak economic messaging, and how the GOP keeps outplaying them. Moskowitz drops truth bombs on media distractions, misallocated campaign dollars, and why the next generation of public servants might want to study PR, not poli-sci.
