1) Steven Levitsky, David Rockefeller Professor of Latin American Studies at Harvard University and co-author with Daniel Ziblatt, of "How Democracies Die," and "Tyranny of the Minority," talks about his recent article, "The Price of American Authoritarianism," assessing Donald Trump's first 12 months back in the White House and the threat he now poses to the 2026 midterm election, U.S. democracy and our republic.

2) Craig Mokhiber, former director of the New York Office of the United Nation's High Commissioner for Human Rights until he resigned in protest due to the Gaza genocide, discusses the catastrophic war launched against Iran by Trump and Netanyahu, the further dismantling of international law, and the resulting death and economic chaos engulfing the region, addressed in his recent article, "Understanding the U.S. and Israel’s illegal war on Iran."

3) Justin Glawe, an independent journalist and editor of the American Doom newsletter, discusses his recent article, "Inside the FBI raid in Georgia — and what it really means," and his reports on the Trump regime plan to nationalize the 2026 midterm election, in a clear effort to employ voter suppression to prevent a Democratic Party takeover of the House and U.S. Senate.

4) Anna Gomez, the lone Democrat serving on the Federal Communications Commission, talks about her concerns regarding the concentration of media ownership, FCC censorship and interference in the exercise of First Amendment right to free speech, the future of public media and the expansion of broadband access.
