Co-founder of Justice Democrats and former communications director for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Corbin Trent talks AOC’s excuses for voting against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment to pull weapons funding to Israel, whether AOC’s failures are evidence that it’s impossible to work within the Democratic Party, the Democrats’ hesitation to exploit Epstein, and how establishment Dems work to defeat not only progressive electeds but bedrock progressive policies like expanding abortion access.

Tech millionaire, co-founder of Justice Democrats, and former chief of staff to AOC Saikat Chakrabarti joins Bad Faith to explain why he's running to oust Nancy Pelosi from the San Francisco congressional seat she has held for almost as long as he has been alive. Saikat offers his takeaways from Zohran Mamdani's success, and evaluates the replicability of Zohran's approach when it comes to social media, his "toxic positivity," and his army of volunteers. Saikat also addresses concerns from the left that he is not a DSA candidate and has, in fact, donated to opponents of DSA candidates in the past. Can Saikat do what former Bad Faith guest Shahid Buttar couldn't quite manage? Will Pelosi also ignore Saikat? Or can he capitalize on normie Democrat frustration with an establishment that's all talk and no action when it comes to fighting back against Trump?

Formerly an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Muhlenberg College, Maura Finkelstein is thought to be the first tenured professor to be fired for pro-Palestine speech in the US. She joins Bad Faith to talk to Briahna Joy Gray about the state of academic freedom, predictions for college campus protests come fall (including in NY, where Zohran Mamdani may soon be mayor), the role of Hillel & other institutional pro-Zionist actors in influencing campus speech, and the struggle to keep the faith as Israel continues to be able to execute its genocide with impunity.

Bernie 2020 speechwriter and founder of The Lever David Sirota returns to Bad Faith to confront a quickly emerging consensus among centrist politicos: "we were right all along." Now that the energy is behind a charming Socialist mayoral candidate, the Pod Save bros, Abundance Libs, & MSNBC "progressives" are all rushing to offer explanations for why Zohran Mamdani won that downplay his substantive politics and elide the fact that, for years, they have supported candidates who are the antithesis of Zohran, all while claiming that a move to the center is the only way to win. Sirota, who has long been an advocate for more adversarial politics, pushes back against efforts by the center-left to co-opt Zohran's win, and breaks down how it happened with Briahna Joy Gray.

Journalist & author of CUOMO: Return of the Dark Prince Ross Barkan returns to Bad Faith to discuss with Brie his tight coverage of the New York City mayoral race. Barkan worked closely with socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani back when Zohran managed Ross' 2017 State Senate campaign, and he can offer unique insight into how Mamdani has managed to surge to the top of the polls against corrupt, billionaire-backed sex pest and former governor Andrew Cuomo. Also discussed: what it means to run a good campaign, what we might expect to see on election day, and what the left can learn from Zohran no matter the outcome.
