Episode 313: Build Back BUSTED

Welp, the prospect of Joe Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ reconciliation bill being transformative has essentially diminished entirely; Joe Manchin called the bluff of House progressives, and they folded immediately like a cheap deck of cards. We’ll talk about the implications of this as well as Bernie Sanders’ last ditch effort to—at the very least—preserve the Medicare expansion. We’ll also talk about Bill Maher’s hot take on COVID, COP26, QAnon, and how Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema may be able to stop the FCC from restoring net neutrality. We’ll also talk to 2022 congressional candidate Imani Oakley.
