The Abandon Biden movement was created to leverage votes to secure a ceasefire or, alternatively, punish Biden for failing to move on that issue. What does the Abandon Biden movement do now that Biden is no longer on the ticket? Head of communications Ahmad Hudhayfah joins Bad Faith to discuss the movement's attitude to Kamala Harris, its current demands, and what he makes of so many "coconut-pilled" leftists who had formally articulated a commitment to Palestinian rights.

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care physician who volunteered at the Gaza European Hospital near Khan Yunis earlier this spring. Last month, he and a fellow volunteer wrote an op-ed in Politico detailing their experience. Somehow, despite the unspeakable images out of Gaza we’ve all been watching for the better part of a year, their account managed to capture unique horrors endemic to this genocide. Dr. Sidwa joins Bad Faith to elaborate on what he saw and how it differs even from other conflict zones he’s volunteered in over the years, including Ukraine.

Status Coup News' Jordan Chariton returns to Bad Faith to provide an update on the toxic fallout from the East Palestine train derailment and report on how residents on the ground are souring on their senator, JD Vance. Vance once championed the people of East Palestine, but he has failed to follow up on new revelations that the crisis was mismanaged. Does his inclusion on the Trump 2024 ticket constrain his advocacy for his own constituents due to policy differences with Trump -- or was his advocacy always superficial? Also, Jordan connects the East Palestine crisis to the Flint water crisis and previews his new book We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Cover Up and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans.

Civil rights attorney, former public defender, and founder of Civil Rights Corps Alec Karakatsanis joins Bad Faith to discuss his latest article exposing the massive disinformation campaign around police body cameras that has led liberals to embrace surveillance technology as a progressive reform. Alec explains the evidence that exposes the true purpose of body cameras, and addresses whether the recent on-camera murder of Sonya Massey complicates the argument. He then takes on a new trend rehabilitating Kamala Harris's criminal justice record now that she's the presumptive nominee. Were claims about her record overblown in 2020? Or is she, in fact, a cop?

Former Seattle City Council member, socialist, & co-founder of Workers Strike Back Kshama Sawant returns to Bad Faith for an important conversation about where the left's focus should be during what is shaping up to be one of the most tumultuous electoral seasons in American history. AOC, Bernie, and almost all progressive electeds threw their support behind Biden even as the general public overwhelmingly lost confidence in him -- and for what? Kshama breaks down AOC's late night IG monologue justifying support for Biden, reviews the evidence for why the Squad's "insider" strategy has proven ineffective, and offers a clear vision for how the left can advance our goals in this unique moment.

BreakThrough News journalist Rania Khalek returns to Bad Faith to talk Hezbollah and developments that could lead to a broader regional war in the Middle East -- but not before she indulges in some horserace talk. Weeks after Biden’s disastrous debate, why are progressives his strongest defenders, and why isn’t a real ceasefire in Gaza a nonnegotiable for progressive electeds? (Note: that this was recorded just before the Trump assassination attempt.)

Democratic National Committee member, deputy campaign manager to both of Jesse Jackson's Presidential campaigns, and founder of the Arab American Institute James Zogby returns to Bad Faith to break down the possibilities for an open convention. How much flexibility do delegates have to defect? How might a new candidate be chosen? And what is the likelihood that the DNC -- given the lengths it has gone to marginalize leftists working within the Democratic Party -- would ever choose a candidate that improves on Biden's position on Palestine, for instance?
