After a week of technical difficulties, Stu and AJ return to discuss the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on communities of color and why, when we say Trump’s response was inept, we’re giving him way too much credit.

Take Action: Contact your state senator and representative and tell them to investigate Trump for firing seven inspectors general under the shadow of the pandemic in an un-American effort to eliminate accountability and oversight.

Moment of Uplift: In a chance encounter, Stuart witnesses a caravan celebrating the birthday of a new student who had never attended his school or made any friends. The kindness of those strangers warmed his heart and may just warm yours.

This is your country for the week of April 15, 2020 — tax day Wednesday!

Produced by Sam Graber
Engineered by Mark Charles, recorded in Stu’s basement and AJ’s apartment in Mitch McConnell’s backyard in Louisville, KY
Music by Mike Michel

Democratica is the political podcast that will help you understand WTF is happening without sacrificing your mental health. Hosts and longtime best friends, AJ Johnson and Stuart Max, take an unconventional look at the political news of the day, recorded in Mitch McConnell’s backyard.

Stuart is a Democratic political insider and news junky who gives sharp and savvy insight on the news of the day. AJ avoids politics at all costs in order to preserve his mental health. But. He. Has. Questions.

Together, they make sense of what’s broken in America and what it will take to fix it. The result is an entertaining, easily digestible half hour that won’t make you feel like you’re losing your mind.


Stuart Max is a 13-year veteran of Capitol Hill and founder of OD Action, Occupy Democrats’ partner action network with more than 250,000 members.

AJ Johnson is a writer and performer who isn’t about to let Donald Trump interrupt his self-care.
