5/22/23 - Ocean Business

1/30/22 - Always Be Gossiping

We’re back, and no matter what the media says about whether we should or shouldn’t be covering George Santos, we here at BTL have a deeply held belief that we should cover him at all costs. So consider this THE Santos news. We’ll cover that, plus a slew of movement in 2024 races! Don’t miss it!

4/26/21 - Warm Fuzzy Feelings

Derek Chauvin is GUILTY. Now let’s convict the rest of these cops while we continue to blow up the entire system of policing.

BTL #382 - Tyranny and the Muesli Caucus [w/ guest Kat Calvin] - 1/11/21

What.A.Week! We’ll bring you all the news you may have forgot about because of that whole mid-week violent coup attempt. For example, remember that huge election that decided the power of the senate? Yeah, that was this week! So join us as we discuss it all with Spread the Vote founder, Kat Calvin

BTL #354 - Kill The Compromise - 6/15/20

Guys, DON’T WORRY! Democrats have dusted off some old ideas they’ve had on the shelf for years to meet this moment of big structural change around policing. But stale ideas aren’t all they have…they’ve got stale candidates too! And progressives are on the move to take them out. We’ve got all this, plus the Georgia primary, Trump’s rally , and the latest on Covid-19 (hint: it’s getting worse).

BTL #228 - Extra Rights - 1/16/17

This week on BLT...will anybody actually be at the inauguration on Friday? So far it looks like it's going to be Hillary Clinton and Code Pink. Plus, Trump will save the ungrateful voters in John Lewis’ totally functioning district whether they want him to or not, and Ben Carson will stop all those pesky gay people from getting their extra rights. What a relief! Meanwhile, Cory Booker shoots himself in the 2020 foot, the GOP signals their plans to take away your healthcare are just as ill conceived as you imagined, and nobody does a press conference like Donald Trump and a stack of blank paper. Bonus: we did it, America! #GoldenShowers has now officially trended on Twitter. Come for the news, stay for the...news!
