Dive deep into the polarized landscape of US politics and the high-stakes battle for democracy. This podcast offers crucial analysis on key conflicts shaping the United States, with a special focus on Texas and its pivotal role in national debates.
 
We explore the intense struggle over redistricting and congressional maps, analyzing actions taken by Texas Democrats—efforts praised by Barack Obama—to counter perceived systematic assaults on democracy. We also examine Governor Greg Abbott's continuous push for special legislative sessions and the broader goal of gaining Republican seats ahead of midterm elections.
 
Furthermore, Polaris tackles the volatile topic of US immigration and the severe impact of the Trump administration’s policies. We investigate the aggressive enforcement by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the controversies surrounding the US-Mexico border, including the now-ruled-unlawful asylum ban.
 
We critically analyze instances of political violence, such as the deadly Dallas ICE facility shooting, contrasting the political blame placed on the “radical left” with the victims being detainees.
