They Changed the Costume

A new leak from inside Patriot Front offers a disturbing look at how modern white supremacist groups are organizing, recruiting, and rebranding themselves for public consumption. This episode looks beyond one group in matching khakis to the larger ecosystem of active clubs, far-right street politics, antisemitic propaganda, and the political language that gives old hate a newer, cleaner costume.

Back Porch Files: The Loyalty Résumé

This episode from the Back Porch Files looks at the Trump administration’s growing reliance on what might be called “the loyalty résumé”: placing people in powerful government roles not because they are the best qualified for the job, but because they are loyal, useful, famous, ideologically aligned, or willing to serve the movement. From public health and education to defense, intelligence, federal law enforcement, and DOGE, the episode argues that underqualification is not just a personnel problem. It is a governing philosophy, and one that weakens institutions by replacing expertise with obedience.

The Supreme Court’s June Knife Drawer

As the Supreme Court races toward the end of its term, some of the most consequential decisions of the year are still waiting to be released. This episode explores why June has become the Court's season of consequences, how nine unelected justices gained so much influence over American life, the debate between originalism and the living Constitution, and why growing questions about legitimacy may be the sharpest issue facing the Court today. From landmark rulings to the cases still sitting in the drawer, this is a look at power, trust, and who gets to decide the rules that govern the rest of us.

The PragerU Exception

PragerU says it is not a university, but its videos and classroom materials are being treated by some conservatives as legitimate educational resources for kids. This episode looks at the hypocrisy of the anti-indoctrination movement embracing PragerU Kids, the ideological ideas being packaged as “traditional values,” and the long-range effort to shape how children understand empathy, racism, capitalism, patriotism, and American history.

Back Porch Files: The Revenge Department

In this week's installment of Back Porch Files, we look at the Trump administration’s claim that it is ending the “weaponization of justice” while federal power appears to be moving toward the very people who sued, investigated, prosecuted, criticized, or embarrassed Donald Trump. From E. Jean Carroll and Letitia James to James Comey, Adam Schiff, John Bolton, and Kilmar Abrego García, this episode walks through the specifics behind each case and asks a simple but dangerous question: is this law enforcement, or is it revenge with a government email address?
