The Dissent Agenda

From national news to a locals only edition on Virginia Beach politics, hosts Melissa and Cody break down what they said vs. what they meant — and why it matters. No politician is safe. Whether it’s federal gaslighting or school board chaos, we’re here to talk about it because if you aren't at the table, you are on the menu.
