Hey folks,

We went live with Pat Dennis, president of American Bridge, and it was everything this moment demanded—angry, sharp, and unfiltered. We talked about how Democrats fight disinformation, what the right-wing echo chamber is doing to this country, and why truth still matters when lies are winning the algorithm war.

[00:02:18] We dive straight into the chaos—Pat breaks down the ecosystem of conservative lies, from “crisis actors” to fake outrage cycles, and what it takes to push back in real time.

[00:08:43] We talk about burnout, cynicism, and the psychological warfare of living under constant propaganda. Pat shares how his team keeps fighting when it feels like the truth doesn’t travel fast enough.

[00:14:56] We get into Democratic strategy—what’s working, what’s failing, and why we can’t keep pretending the other side is arguing in good faith.

[00:22:31] A powerful exchange on courage in politics—how too many people in power confuse politeness with morality.

[00:30:10] We end with hope: the organizers, communicators, and truth-tellers who remind us that facts alone don’t win movements—people do.

If you’re tired of the gaslighting, the cowardice, and the noise, this one’s worth your time. It’s raw, it’s urgent, and it’s a reminder that fighting back is an act of love—for truth, for democracy, for each other.

With urgency,

—Mike
