He has appeared as a guest on The Colbert Report, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, PBS Now, Lou Dobbs Tonight, CNBC, and NPR. Sirota is on the board of the Progressive States Network and has worked for progressive candidates including Ned Lamont and Sherrod Brown, and was a press aide and then spokesman for Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist independent at-large Representative from Vermont.

Molly Ivans once said "Sirota is a new-generation populist who instinctively understands that the only real questions are 'Who's getting screwed?' and 'Who's doing the screwing?'"
