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?

Raimondo, which ended Chevron deference and hobbled the authority of administrative agencies, and the Trump immunity case. What emerges, however, is a debate about what the left should do to address the ultra-conservative court and whether Biden is ultimately to blame for his unwillingness to take court reform seriously while Democrats controlled the House and Senate. Yet another spicy-yet-constructive debate for the books.   Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.

The eponymous host of the Kim Iverson Show joins Bad Faith to break down Thursday's disastrous-for-Democrats debate, RFK Jr.'s response, and what third party opportunities this unique political moment presents for the left. Is this the moment to commit to the Green Party? Or is the only "green" to discuss Biden's golf handicap -- or whether Trump is sub "par?" Is it worth it to vote for RFK Jr. just to break up the duopoly? Or are his views on Gaza too insidious to consider any other upsides? You wont want to miss this spirited debate.

Dr. Annelle Sheline resigned from the State Department in March after she determined that it was nearly impossible to do her job -- promoting human rights in the Middle East -- in light of the genocide in Gaza. Now at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Dr. Sheline joins Bad Faith to debate the merits of working to reform systems from the inside and to provide behind-the-scenes insights into how some of her former colleagues try to push back against Israel's human rights abuses. Do Matt Miller's craven takes from the podium prove the futility of that effort? Is US narrative-building around the "rules-based order" being destroyed by access to independent media?

Shir Hever, military embargo coordinator for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, joins Bad Faith to explain how BDS is effectively squeezing the Israeli economy and souring Israelis on the war against Gaza. The Israeli-German economist explains how financial pressures are being felt by the Israeli public and how an international solidarity movement is effectively blocking military aid from being sent to Israel. He also weighs in on the ad hoc boycotts that have sprung up against companies like McDonald's and KFC.
