The Tony Michaels Podcast
Independent political commentary for people who are done with the corporate media filter, billionaire bootlicking, and party-approved talking points — focused on constitutional accountability, concentrated power, and working-class democracy.
Tony Michaels delivers sharp, in-your-face coverage of American politics, democracy, constitutional power, authoritarian threats, corruption, courts, elections, media propaganda, and the working-class fight against oligarchy.
No scripts from the establishment. No pretending both sides are equal when power is being abused. Just news, accountability, and the kind of political talk built for people who still believe democracy is worth fighting for.

When Congress Goes Silent, Soldiers Carry the Risk | TMP #1085
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today’s Opening Argument goes back to Newburgh, New York, in 1783 — when unpaid Continental soldiers were pushed to the edge by a Congress that would not keep its promises.
The lesson still matters:
When Congress refuses to carry its constitutional burden, somebody else carries the risk.
War power belongs to the people through Congress. And when Congress goes silent, silence is not peace.
Silence is permission.
