- Description
- "Progressive" and "affordability" are trendy political buzzwords today, but for most Americans, they feel more like abstract concepts rather than lived realities. The Congressional Progressive Caucus is trying to change that by launching a 10-point "Affordability Agenda."
Congressman Greg Casar (D-TX) joins America, Actually this week to discuss his caucus’s shift from focusing on identity politics and bills like the Green New Deal to kitchen table issues like banning AI surveillance pricing and capping childcare costs.
Later, we head to one of the country’s most Democratic congressional districts in the country to see if these Washington talking points resonate with voters.

- Pete Hegseth’s obsession with the Crusades may seem like a personality quirk, like your uncle who is obsessed with World War 2 submarines. But when that worldview influences how a defense secretary thinks about modern conflicts, it stops just being about the past — and it starts shaping the future.
Vox producer Nate Krieger took a closer look at this “Holy War” to investigate the actual history of the Crusades and to understand how Pete Hegseth’s interest in medieval history might actually affect US foreign policy and the future of the war in Iran.

Along the way, they discuss why music, moral courage, and even grief can trigger awe, how modern life may be starving us of it, and what it reveals about the limits of reason, the power of the body, and the deeper ways we make sense of being human.

- Hegseth's holy war
- Date posted
- 8 days ago
- Description
- Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has a longstanding fascination with the Crusades. That’s right, the Crusades: the series of late 11th to 13th century medieval wars in which Europeans fought to control the Holy Land. He has tattoos that reference the Crusades, something that actually came up in his confirmation hearing in 2025. And his 2020 book is titled American Crusade. The final chapter is titled “Make the Crusade Great Again.”
Hegseth paints the Crusades as a “defensive war” in which Christianity had to react or face being overrun by Islam. According to professor of medieval history Matthew Gabriele, this is an extreme oversimplification of the actual history. And viewing the past in this way could have possibly dangerous ramifications on the current war in Iran.
Pete Hegseth’s obsession with the Crusades may seem like a personality quirk, like your uncle who is obsessed with World War 2 submarines. But when that worldview influences how a ...

- Date posted
- 10 days ago
- Description
- The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a very big deal. It transformed America, marking the end of the Jim Crow era and effectively banning racial discrimination in elections. Finally fulfilling the promise of a multiracial democracy, Black voter registration increased, and political representation across the nation better reflected America’s diverse population.
60 years later, a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act is at risk of being erased. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court has sided with the plaintiffs in a redistricting case out of Louisiana called Louisiana v. Callais. The case focused on Louisiana’s legislative maps, which were amended after a 2022 lawsuit in which civil rights groups and community members sued the state of Louisiana, claiming the maps drawn after the 2020 census didn’t properly reflect Louisiana’s Black population.
Once the new map with two majority-Black districts passed in the Louisiana state legislature in 2024, a group of “no...

- Description
- We drop fish out of planes. Well, sometimes. It’s a process called “fish stocking,” where US states breed fish with the purpose of releasing them into rivers and lakes to then be caught by fishers. And when those lakes are up in the mountains, it can take a plane or a helicopter to get the live fish to the water. But in many cases, these very lakes never had any fish in them to begin with. And adding these non-native fish can have ripple effects on the entire ecosystem.

Along the way, they discuss why children notice things we’ve stopped seeing, what we lose when we grow up, and what parenting reveals about love, care, and the nature of intelligence itself.

This week on America, Actually, Gallego addresses his recent public apology regarding his ties to Swalwell following the Congress member’s sexual misconduct allegations.

- The Ticketmaster monopoly is over, now what?
- Date posted
- 15 days ago
- Description
- On April 15, a federal jury found Live Nation Entertainment and Ticketmaster operated as an illegal monopoly, overcharging fans and shutting out competition.
After years of complaints, lawsuits, and the fallout from the 2022 Taylor Swift Eras Tour ticket sale controversy, the states took the case to trial, and won.
So now the question is simple: Will ticket prices actually go down? The answer, it turns out, is more complicated than limiting fees and creating more competition.

They unpack a recent case involving music piracy, the broader legal fight over who’s responsible for what happens online, and why even a highly ideological Court seems wary of breaking the digital world.

- These fish aren’t supposed to be here #shorts
- Date posted
- 17 days ago
- Description
- Every year, federal and state wildlife agencies in the US breed millions of fish and release them into the wild, all for fishers to catch.
To see some fish stocking in action and learn more about the process, Vox producer Nate Krieger went on a fish stocking run with employees of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. In just under an hour, they released 675 live trout into the Mianus River for the recreation of local fishermen.
But introducing non-native fish can wreak havoc on an ecosystem. So why are state wildlife agencies doing it by the million?
This video examines the strange paradox that incentivizes states to do something that, at least in some cases, hurts the very ecosystem they're trying to conserve.

- America's fishing paradox
- Date posted
- 18 days ago
- Description
- Every year, federal and state wildlife agencies in the US breed millions of fish and release them into the wild, all for fishers to catch. They do this because many ecosystems no longer support the thriving fish populations they once did, due to dams, pollution, and rising water temperatures.
But there’s a catch. In many cases, the fish that are being released aren’t native to these ecosystems. In Connecticut, where this video was filmed, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) breeds and releases rainbow trout — from the West Coast — and brown trout, from Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. Of course, states aren’t just throwing fish into the water at random. There are many preventative measures and monitoring systems in place to protect local ecosystems from the dangers of non-native species. But things can still go wrong.
Introducing non-native fish can wreak havoc on an ecosystem. So why are state wildlife agencies doing it ...

- Description
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has repeatedly invoked God in official Pentagon press conferences. From likening the rescue of a missing American airman, to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, to declaring that “God deserves all the glory” for American battlefield successes, the language of the Pentagon is shifting.
But where is this theology coming from, and what does it mean for the future of American democracy?
Vox.com’s Today, Explained podcast talked with influential evangelical theologian Doug Wilson. Wilson is a leading voice in the movement to recast America as Christian-led, with laws defined by the Bible.
