Summary

There’s a reason to elect more progressives to Congress: they’re finally organizing within it. David Dayen of The American Prospect joins to talk about the behind the scenes wheelings and dealings of the infrastructure and transformative Build Back Better bills and the key role that progressives are playing to deliver for the American people. And comedian Zack Bornstein on why 'Salt Bae' is too high on his own supply, a Mississippi AG gives the worst anti-abortion excuse, and a new grim milestone has us wondering whether vaccine mandates will finally get Republicans into getting vaccinated. PLUS a *Patreon only* bonus bish test on the newest and perhaps most bonkers Trump book yet featuring colonoscopies, mushrooms and Memory.
