National Treasure

SlStude•6/12/2026

Alex is brilliant-- a national treasure. Podcasting has set her free much to the benefit of Crooked listeners. She is now unencumbered and it shows. Thanks for taking this leap into podcasting. Your talent has never been more evident. And I watched you daily on msnbc. So glad you are part of the Crocked family.

Alex consistently brings stories the general public needs to examine. She asks thoughtful questions and seems to genuinely care that you and I are informed and empowered. I’ve learned a lot from Alex’s work, and I look forward to new episodes every week!

I’m an independent lean little to the left. No one likes her & that’s why she didn’t get elected. Get the word out. Donald has to go and none of his people can stay anywhere near the White House. My reason for saying this is so the word is out. We don’t want her. Gavin? Maybe?
