The Default of Democracy

Season 3 Episode 1 – January’s Shock & Awe

Trump takes office and immediately starts trying to break the government. In Texas, the state legislature gets started – the house fighting with itself and the Senate rolling out a school voucher plan.
We don’t take sides here on this podcast, but we do have this request: politicians do questionable things when they think that nobody is looking. The upside to the utter chaos in Washington over the past few weeks is that Congressional offices haven’t heard this much feedback about what’s going on in years. Keep calling. Whether it’s ICE, funding freezes, school vouchers, or whatever moves you, call your local, state, and federal representatives and tell them what you are for or against. And then call them again.
With the new year, we’re adopting a new episode numbering scheme, so welcome to Season 3, Episode 1. We’ve also added a second microphone to the set, so the conversation should flow more freely now. We hope you enjoy season 3. And keep calling your reps, okay?
