This week on Political Pitchforks, host Susan and her guests take a hard look at the fraud and corruption within the lobbying system — not only in Minnesota, but across the nation. Together, they unpack how money, influence, and backroom deals can shape legislation, and the ongoing challenges lawmakers face in holding lobbyists accountable.

The discussion also highlights recent laws and reforms designed to curb these abuses, exploring what’s working, what’s not, and what still needs to change to protect the integrity of our democratic process.

Tune in for a thought-provoking, truth-seeking conversation that shines a light on the inner workings of power and policy — only on AM1280 The Patriot, where real talk meets real impact.
