The Siren is a creator led media network founded to combat fascism and defend the values of American democracy through the analysis and discussion of current events and calls to action.
Through fearless reporting, bold truth-telling, and unapologetic calls to action, we refuse to sit back while our rights are gutted, our voices are silenced, and our future is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Instead, we’re calling out the abuse of power and relentless attacks on our democracy wherever they appear. But it’s not enough to just talk about what’s going on. This moment demands going a step further.
The goal of The Siren is not just to analyze the news, but to ignite action.
We turn outrage into direction. We organize calls to stop the passing of dangerous legislation. We spotlight the next generation of Democratic leadership. All while mobilizing around the most pressing issues of our time.
We don’t both-sides tyranny. We expose it and we fight it.

It’s Friday, October 17th, meaning this Republican shutdown is officially tied with the 2013 shutdown, the fourth-longest in U.S. history at 17 days. We are rapidly approaching Trump’s previous record, the No. 1 longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which took place during his first term at 34 days long. Notably, there were zero government shutdowns during the Biden Administration.
On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo is joined by New Jersey Senator Andy Kim for an in-depth discussion on the experiences and challenges he faces as a newly elected Senator during these insane times, the Republican Shutdown, and tomorrow’s No Kings protests. Jo and Senator Kim also discuss how the Republican party has completely been taken over by Donald Trump, and ceded their Congressional oversight. The duo also discusses how Republicans are currently treating themselves to an extended paid vacation, all while federal workers are missing paychecks.
As of right now, more than 700,000 federal employees have been furloughed, and nearly as many are continuing to work without receiving paychecks.
During the second half of the episode, New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin joins The Siren Podcast to discuss his work as the top law enforcement official in New Jersey, how Democratic Attorneys General are standing up to Trump in this moment, his lifesaving work to end gun violence, and the weaponization of the federal government in the form of political indictments of Trump’s enemies.
