Breaking Points
Politics • News
Breaking Points is an independent news program hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC are ripping us apart and making millions of dollars doing it. We don't have soulless billionaires or corporations backing our high end TV production, but we do have YOU. Together we're creating better, more insightful news to help us understand the world.

Thoughts on a written daily briefing, breaking points edition? Not looking for another newsletter but a practical rundown on current events. Something that analyzes politics vs. policy that highlights the real decision makers without fear-mongering—spending two hours daily on the news can be tiring. Though I respect the work, not all news is helpful.

I know there are downsides and upsides to this idea, but I want to be informed. I also have a life to live. We need more tools in public life that energize, not exhaust, our ability to live a healthy, honest, and productive life.

4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance

Literally nothing screams “retarded leftist entitlement” than a bunch of BARISTAS going on strike.

  • You’re a low skill service laborer
  • You don’t matter
  • Nobody requires you

You’re a vestigial appendage to the economy.

I hope yall starve lmao

Moment newly opened bridge partially collapses in China https://share.google/FkuqzVrUAyWYzN6Ct

This bridge was recently reported on by Saagar. I'd like to hear more on this.
Is it a freak accident, or are Chinese builders taking shortcuts in infrastructure?
Was this project just too ambitious from the start?

Hi everyone,

I've been a listener for about two years and just signed up as a premium subscriber. I believe the Breaking Points team is truly doing the lord’s work by providing insightful perspectives from both sides of the political spectrum, something that helps us all avoid echo chambers. Despite my disagreements with all four hosts (Krystal, Saagar, Ryan, and Emily), I never take for granted how valuable their contributions are to this chaotic political landscape, where nuanced commentary is hard to come by. I look forward to contributing to this community and engaging with you all.
