Summary

President Biden announced a new $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package that will be primarily funded through heightened IRS efforts to reduce tax evasion by corporations and the wealthy. Human infrastructure spending, which covers things like childcare, education, and clean energy, is missing from the deal and would need to be part of a second bill passed through reconciliation without Republican support. Pride events this weekend in cities like New York, Denver, and Seattle have banned out LGBTQ police officers from participating in marches if they're in uniform. We spoke with Chris Roney, an organizer of the Queer Liberation Movement, about the history of police resistance in the queer community and what's motivating people to ban cops at pride. Plus, we're joined for headlines by special guest Margaret Cho: New York suspends Giuliani’s law license, EU leaders condemn anti-queer Hungarian bill, and chaos at a Redneck Rave.

0:16.6	Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, kind of depending on what concert you go to. I'm usually moving around a little bit more than that.

0:27.0	Yeah, those low five beats do slap.
0:35.0	On today's show why some pride marches this weekend have banned LGBTQ police officers from participating if they're in uniform, then we'll have headlines with a special guest Margaret Cho.

1:28.0	I clearly didn't get all I want it. They gave more than I think maybe they were trying to give in the first place.
1:35.0	But this reminds me of the days we used to get a lot done up with the United States Congress.
1:41.0	Wow, so it is always infrastructure week. We are just in a groundhog's day of infrastructure week.
