No Doubt About It

Politics can get ugly. But when it turns into deterrence, threats, and career-ending “payback” talk, it stops being a debate and starts becoming a warning to anyone thinking about public service. We dig into three recent moments from high-profile voices on the left that, to us, signal a dangerous shift toward intimidation and dehumanization, and we talk honestly about how that kind of rhetoric can lead people to justify real-world harm. Then we pivot to the numbers. The U.S. Senate battlegro...

Ella turns 18 and suddenly our “kid voting” jokes become real math: two more ballots in the household, one more reminder that elections get decided by the people who actually show up. We talk early voting in New Mexico, why waiting for Election Day can backfire, and what we’re seeing on the ground as turnout ramps up across Albuquerque and the state.

If you care about IPRA, government transparency, and whether elected officials play b...

New Mexico can’t recruit doctors, patients can’t get appointments, and one legislative race in Northeast Albuquerque is suddenly about far more than party labels. We connect the dots between medical malpractice lawsuits, rising insurance costs, and the brutal reality of waiting a year or more to see a specialist, then we ask the uncomfortable question: who benefits from keeping the system this way? First, we run through the shifting U.S. Senate map and why Republicans are sounding more confi...
