Amanda Litman (@amandalitman) from Run For Something joins us to talk about elections, and how YOU can become a candidate. Plus, we’ll dig back into inflation and tell you specifically why Joe Manchin needs to get a freaking grip. We’ve got all that, plus an in-depth look at how Jimmy Carter’s sweaters caused Kevin McCarthy to be an asshole. Don’t miss it!
11/15/21 - Mayo Pete
Due to some post-Lila birthday party fatigue, we’ve got a totally different podcast for you this week! As promised on twitter, we deliver a lengthy review of Mayor Pete (a review of both the film, and the human). Lila digs into why he’s not such a wildly “different” candidate after all, and Brent plays armchair psychiatrist to explain his lack of human emotion. Check it out!

10/4/21 - Almost A Real Infrastructure Week
Well friends, it was DEFINITELY infrastructure week, but surprise…still no bills to show for it. However, what we do have to show for it is perhaps even more exciting: a cohesive Congressional Progressive Caucus that has finally realized that it has some power. We’ll take a deep dive into what happened this week, plus an overview of how we got here. It’s one you won’t want to miss!
9/20/21 - No Takeaways
We’re back!! And we’ve got all the takeaways from the California recall, which, as it turns out, maybe didn’t have that many takeaways? Plus, we’ve got a 2022 senate primer - If you listen to this episode you’ll officially know more about the 2022 senate map than any of your friends. And of course…INFRASTRUCTURE!!!!! Don’t miss it!
