Journalist, comedian, and host of The Bitchuation Room Francesca Fiorentini joins Bad Faith on the heels of breaking news that former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party because it was too mean to Joe Biden. After recovering from the absurdity of Jean-Pierre’s grift, Briahna and Francesca discuss Fran’s increasing openness to third parties, fissures on the left over Force the Vote, and whether the left can be united around a 2028 candidate and avoid succumbing to Vote Blue No Matter Who pressure.

Without fire, we probably wouldn’t have even reached the Stone Age, let alone the Industrial Age.

The Indicator from Planet Money - How doctors helped tank universal health care

A debate has been raging over universal health care in the U.S. since the 1940s. Back then, a formidable opponent emerged to dump a lot of money into ensuring it wouldn't happen. That opponent was doctors. Today on the show, Sally Helm, a Planet Money reporter, comes to us in her capacity as the host of HISTORY This Week to detail how doctors helped tank single pay healthcare back then and the role communism played in the fight.

A longer version of this episode is available at HISTORY This Week from the History Channel.

NPR's Book of the Day - Madeleine Thien’s new novel ‘The Book of Records’ is a story that traverses centuries

It took author Madeleine Thien nearly a decade to write her new novel The Book of Records. In the story, 7-year-old Lina and her father take refuge at an imagined place called the Sea. There, buildings serve as a waystation for people who are fleeing one place to make home in another. Thien says she wanted to set her novel in a location where centuries and histories might converge. In today's episode, Thien talks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about her personal relationship to the three historical thinkers who enter the story: Hannah Arendt, Baruch Spinoza, and Du Fu.

Pod Save America - Gay for Due Process: Live at WorldPride

Lovett joins forces with The Bulwark's Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell for a big, beautiful, gay-as-hell fundraiser at World Pride to support Andry José Hérnandez Romero and other individuals wrongfully deported to El Salvador without due process. Jon, Tim and Sarah open the floor to two people doing the hard, important work for justice: Andry José Hérnandez Romero's lawyer and President of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, Lindsay Toczylowski, and Congressman Robert Garcia. Lovett takes us to the library for some good old fashioned reads of the Trump administration with help from the audience. Later, they are joined by the incredible Tara Hoot to finally answer the age-old question, who's better at trivia: gay people, or straight people? Join them as they laugh, they listen, and they learn a lot bout lesbians. Like, a lot. And in the end, isn't that what Pride Month is all about? Visit votesaveamerica.com/actionforandry to learn more and support.
