We here on the Find Out Podcast are a big fans of Democrats winning elections and we couldn't be happier with this week's news that Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX), who was endorsed by Trump, won his runoff election, unseating the incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) as the Republican nominee. Why are we excited about this? Because Paxton, who has been impeached by the Republican Super Majority in the Texas state legislature for embezzlement, busted for an extramarital affair and is generally hated by Cornyn voters and his fellow Texas Republicans, this creates an excellent opportunity for State Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) to finally flip Texas Blue. The last time Texas Democrats came close to flipping this seat was in 2018 when U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) narrowly defeated Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) by 2.6%. On this episode, we'll make the case for why someone like Paxton is worse than Cruz. Talarico's ability to communicate effectively with religious Christian voters, coupled with Hispanic and Latino voters turning on Trump in large numbers, makes this a must watch race that could help the Democrats win the U.S. Senate this year.
We'll also discuss why conviction is the best weapon for Democrats to counter Republican messaging when pitching massive changes like universal health care. We also enjoyed watching Chelsea Handler and Pete Davidson destroy Tony Hinchcliffe at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart. We also crack down on corporations using investments in AI data centers to justify mass layoffs but those investments haven't been paying off. Also, we'll highlight how the tech billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want cheaper workers while J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller want more white workers.

Guest Host Norm Ornstein welcomes Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) to cover all the news happening in Congress. We cover the war in Iran and how it’s driving prices up across the country and the world, consequently having a major impact on Americans' wallets. DeLauro calls this a "war of choice" and discusses what Congress can realistically do to invoke the War Powers Act and reclaim its constitutional authority.
DeLauro is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee and reveals how the Trump administration is taking the power of the purse away from Congress.
Plus, the midterms are rapidly approaching. Can Democrats make enough gains to slow down the Trump administration? Interview:
The FBI is investigating the Atlantic reporter who wrote a detailed story of Director Kash Patel’s alleged heavy drinking and erratic behavior.

A federal judge rules that the government can keep the ballots seized from election offices in Fulton County, Georgia.
Since losing the 2024 election, the Democratic Party has been under scrutiny for lagging significantly in the digital creator, podcast and influencer game. Podcasters like Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, and Joe Rogan all played a big role in influencing Gen Z males to turn out for Trump. But as Trump has lost support amongst this demographic, has the Democratic Party learned anything? We welcome Harry Sisson on this episode to weigh in on how the party is catching up to the Republicans regarding their digital presence and how that positions the Democrats for both the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.
Did anything else significant happen in the news this week? Yes, we will cover the inadequate security situation at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We'll dig into conservatives and the GOP's shameless hypocrisy regarding gun control and shootings and we'll have a spirited debate about violent political rhetoric. Speaking of which, we'll also cover Melania Trump's idiotic feud with Jimmy Kimmel and Trump demanding ABC fire him over a joke.

With ballots going out to California voters on May 4th, the governor's race is in full force and voters are starting to pay attention. Fresh off her New York Post B+ rated performance in the latest gubernatorial debate, we are very excited to have Former Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA) join us on this episode of the Find Out Podcast. Known for flipping a very red district in 2018 and going viral for grilling banking executives with her whiteboards while serving on the Financial Services Committee, Porter has been running as the Housing Candidate in this race pushing an agenda to make housing more affordable in California. Porter is also known for speaking her mind and being blunt and direct. She recently called her opponents "teenage boys" during the debate but she has some pretty choice words to describe one particular candidate, Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco (R-CA), on the show.
We'll also discuss the Supreme Court's recent attack on voting rights and what impact this has on racial gerrymandering for upcoming elections. We'll also discuss how Democrats need to stop using affordability as a buzzword when discussing the issue with voters and how honesty is the best way for a Democrat who flipped a red district to continue expanding their winning margin every election year. To quote the former Congresswoman, "We all need to do f***ing better."

Trump can call it whatever he wants, but we are at war with Iran. Podcast host and YouTube star Brian Tyler Cohen joins us again to break down how Trump has dragged us into this wildly unpopular war. How long will we be there? What are our objectives? And who is behind the bombing of the Iranian girls' school that killed 175 people? Early investigations suggest America is responsible, but Trump blames... the Iranians?
And the GOP attack on democracy continues as voters become disillusioned with the Trump agenda. Will John Thune and the Republicans blow up the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act?
Plus, the gutting of ACA subsidies, Medicaid cuts, food assistance slashed, and how Trump's trade war has made good on absolutely none of his cost-of-living promises. Interview:
Two new reports portend a potentially bleak future for an American democracy that counts on its engaged citizenry to do everything from count votes to make laws...
The suggestion — which runs contrary to the Constitution's delegation of election administration to state governments — comes less than a week after the FBI raided an elections office outside Atlanta, seizing ballots and other voting records from the 2020 election...
The results are in from Tennessee’s 7th District special election — and even though the Republicans won - the result is great news for Democrats.
We discuss how a deep-red seat nearly slipped out of Republican hands and why the surprisingly tight margin is setting off alarm bells inside the GOP.
We also dig into Donald Trump’s latest insane lies about “affordability,” why voters aren’t buying his nonsense, and how the cost-of-living crisis is very bad news for Republicans.
Finally, we ask the big question: with Democrats over-performing in race after race — and now in one of the reddest districts in the country — are we watching the early signs of a Blue Tsunami forming for 2026? Interview:
Michigan lawmakers are debating a bill that would require school board candidates to run with party labels, ending the state's long nonpartisan tradition. Education groups warn the proposal could inject politics into local districts and limit who can serve…
The Democratic Party showed signs of life all around the country with last week's off-season elections. Helping us make sense of it all is Molly Jong-Fast, opinion writer for The New York Times and host of the Fast Politics podcast!
Molly examines NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and why his campaign was so successful. Can he actually deliver on the promises he's made in the campaign? Molly shares her thoughts on some lessons Democrats nationwide could learn from his win.
All of this is going on during the longest-ever government shutdown with a President holding a "Great Gatsby”-themed party at Mar-a-Lago while the economy struggles and Trump continues his tariff wars.
Plus, Molly gives her perspective on the redistricting battles around the country, the nationwide ICE raids, Trump corruption, and more!
