Episode Notes

This week, fresh off of his victory in a closely watched special election in New York's 19th district, Pat Ryan (D-NY) joins us to talk about how Democrats can take back the mantle of freedom and the GOP's "political malpractice" in pushing deeply unpopular abortion bans at a moment when they could win control of Congress. 

Then, a related segment as progressive messaging guru Anat Shenker-Osorio talks to us about how to cut through right-wing propaganda by leading with your values--and warns that the Democrats are failing miserably in coming up with a coherent narrative on policing and safety.
