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!
8/30/21 - Pandemic of the Radio Hosts
8/16/21 - Scream Into The California Void
First thing’s first: BUY LILA’S BOOK, ‘Some Kids Left Behind,’ anywhere you’re getting your books these days. Now that we’ve covered that…we’re back with a rant-filled, thrill-ride of an episode! First, we’ll tell you all of the reasons to vote “No” on the Newsom recall, and why not one of those reasons has anything to do with Dianne Feinstein. Plus, we’ll chat infrastructure (surprise!), Cuomo, exciting census data, Afghanistan and more! Don’t miss it.
8/2/21 - A Time For Disagreement with Kyrsten Sinema
We’re back after a brief vacation! And against all odds, it’s still infrastructure season! We may now have either a bipartisan deal, a $3.5T deal through reconciliation, or both or neither. We’re betting on…neither. Plus we’ve got hot takes on the Olympics, Covid-19, and Sarah Palin’s fool’s errand of a senate run. Don’t miss it!
6/14/21 - Emu Crime
SINKHOLES ARE BACK! That’s right, we’ve got all the important sinkhole coverage, plus other essential stories such as Emus being arrested and humans being swallowed by humpback whales. But don’t worry, we’ve also got the hard news you crave, such as the big takeaways from the G-7. Takeaway #1 - the queen cutting an ugly sheetcake with a ceremonial sword just to be quirky. Don’t miss it!
6/1/21 - News From A Single Room
We’re back…and thank god these stupid infrastructure talks have gone on so long because now we get to complain about them IN THE SAME ROOM!
