Thu, 09 Jul 2026 - 695 - Project 2029: How We Protect Reproductive Rights Against MAGA
In part three of Project 2029: A Reimagining, host Molly Jong-Fast convenes leading advocates ( including Abortion Everyday’s Jessica Valenti, The Center for Reproductive Rights Nancy Northup, UCLA’s Mary Ziegler and The Guttmacher Institutes Kelly Baden) and experts to examine the post–Roe v. Wade landscape and the far-reaching consequences of abortion bans, from criminal penalties and “bounty hunter” civil enforcement to threats against medication abortion, telehealth, travel, IVF, and even miscarriage and emergency pregnancy care. The episode outlines how these policies have increased medical risk and uncertainty for patients and providers, expanded surveillance and litigation, and empowered crisis pregnancy centers while undermining access to contraception and reproductive health services. Looking ahead, the conversation focuses on what Democrats could do when they regain power: pursue comprehensive federal protections, repeal legal tools like the Comstock Act that could enable backdoor national restrictions, strengthen state-level shield laws, address affordability through insurance and Medicaid reforms, and build an agenda that treats reproductive freedom as an urgent, durable national right rather than a temporary compromise.

Featuring interviews with prominent policymakers and legal experts like Lina Kahn, Alvaro Bedoya, Doha Mekki, and Elizabeth Wilkins, the episode delves into how monopolistic corporations use their power to raise prices, suppress wages, and stifle competition—hurting workers, consumers, and small businesses alike. The discussion highlights how regulation is not an abstract burden but a set of rules that can ensure fairness, protect individual rights, and preserve economic freedom. It also underscores the political and institutional challenges regulators face, from lobbying influence to overly cautious governance, while making the case that bold, timely, and targeted action by government can restore trust and deliver tangible benefits to everyday Americans.

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 - 691 - Project 2029: Campaign Finance Reform Comes First
In the premiere episode of “Project 2029: A Reimagining,” host Molly Jong-Fast explores the critical role of campaign finance reform in reviving American democracy and redirecting the Democratic Party's future. Featuring expert voices such as Lawrence Lessig, Tiffany Muller (End Citizens United), Michael Waldman (Brennan Center) and Tom Moore (Center for American Progress), the episode details how decisions like Citizens United have enabled unchecked corporate influence and created a deeply corrupt political environment, where billionaires and super PACs drown out the voices of ordinary voters. It also examines how this broken system undermines public trust, outlines promising legal and grassroots strategies for reform, and makes the case that no meaningful progress on climate, healthcare, or civil rights is possible without first confronting the corrosive role of money in politics. Through historical parallels and potential state-level solutions, the conversation pushes toward a future where political power is rebalanced and truly representative of the people.
