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.

The Democratic Party always has some lame excuse as to why they can’t do good things; whether it’s the Senate Parliamentarian or obstructionist conservative Democrats, the buck ultimately stops with Biden.

With Democrats like Joe Manchin, who needs Republicans? It’s a question many people are asking themselves after Joe Manchin officially became the new de facto Mitch McConnell by committing to torpedo the ‘For the People Act,’ which is voting rights legislation that will undo some of the damage caused by the nationwide voter suppression effort by th…

In this episode we actually cover news that’s… not entirely depressing.

Certainly, it’s better than the current stat…

In this episode, we’ll continue our discussion about the prevalence of reality denialism by right-wingers as they lurch further and further to the right—and the election isn’t the only aspect of reality they’re rejecting.
