Trump's Radical National Security Strategy: Every...

The Siren Network ·

2025/12/12

Trump’s new National Security Strategy calls for a radical shift from longstanding American foreign policy and global leadership as we know it. It returns us to a dangerous world of spheres of influence, grounded in imperialism and unilateralism. In a nutshell, it turns away from the alliances and strategies that have brought us peace and security through diplomacy, and embarks upon a new world of independent action and militarism. It’s a strategy like none we’ve seen since the 19th century.Joel

Erika Kirk Thinks NYC Women Have Daddy Issues

In this episode, we unpack Erica Kirk’s unhinged claim that NYC women voted for Zohran Mamdani because we’re “looking for daddies.” The same crowd that worships “Daddy Trump” now thinks we’re the ones with daddy issues? Please. NYC women vote for policy, affordability, and reality, not patriarchal fantasies.We also dig into the trad-wife industrial complex: Katie Miller’s increasingly cringe talk-show circuit, Pete Hegseth’s wife acting like an unofficial Pentagon PR chief, and the ongoing attempt

2025/12/12

Last week, Donald Trump was asked whether he would release the “double-tap” war crimes footage, to which he said he had “no problem” with making the footage available to the public. This prompted many members of Congress to rightly call on Trump to release the footage, so that a proper investigation may be held.But today, Trump sang a completely different tune, telling reporter Rachel Scott “I didn’t say that,” when asked about his statement last week. He then proceeded to call ABC “fake news.”It

This morning, Punchbowl News Founder Jake Sherman tweeted, “A few other GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term.”One of those GOP members’ messages read, “More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden departure from Congress has opened the

In this episode, I chat with Kate Barr, a behavioral scientist and political disruptor who ran an intentionally unwinnable 2024 North Carolina state senate race to expose gerrymandering. Kate shares how she went from being mad to being action-oriented, and how running as “Kate Barr Can’t Win” became unexpectedly joyful, authentic, and effective. Now she is taking an even bolder step by switching to the Republican Party, not because her values have changed, but because the primary is the only

The 2026 midterms are shaping up to be historic, in large part due to the massive voter mobilization and energy on the side of the Democrats. If the 2025 elections taught us anything, it’s that not only are Democrats mad as hell- but they’re coming out in tremendous numbers to vote. Much more than Republicans are, who are very clearly dealing with a serious enthusiasm problem.But Democrats aren’t just voting. They are electing and supporting candidates who are true political outsiders. Just look at

The final vote count was 427-1, with Republican Clay Higgins being the lone “No” vote.The Senate, in a surprising swift move, then passed the same bill by unanimous consent, meaning that no amendments can be made to the bill, which

On this episode of Pours and Perspectives, Harry Dunn is joined by Joel Rubin to discuss the latest on the deal that Democrats made with Republicans in the Senate to end the government shutdown.As we all know, this shutdown (which is still ongoing) was caused by Trump and his Republican Party in Congress being unable to act as a real governing party.

In this episode, Jill chats with author and educator Ben Sheehan about why so many Americans feel disconnected from their government—and why that’s not their fault. Sheehan, creator of PBS’s Civics Made Easy and author of What Does the Constitution Actually Say?, explains that our lack of civic knowledge stems from a decades-long decline in civics education. He explains that shame often keeps people from asking questions or trying to learn, and becoming “fluent” in government makes people more

Remember when the Trump campaign sued CBS and 60 Minutes for over $10 billion in damages, because the interview was lightly edited for clarity? Well, Trump’s recent 60 Minutes interview was shortened to only 28 minutes- cutting key portions of the interview out on air.Of course, this is completely fine for Trump. MAGA is completely quiet about the “election interference,” they were screaming about. But the interview contained some startling admissions from Trump, notably that he “doesn’t know” who

There are no attempts at negotiations or compromise being made on the side of Republicans, even as Democrats in Congress still come into work everyday.Recently, Rep.
