The concept of “planned obsolescence” makes no economic sense and is often an excuse for governments to harass and shake down innovative entrepreneurs. Much of so-called planned obsolescence is really entrepreneurship at work improving products for users and consumers.

For many years, the far right has been the most lethal and persistent source of domestic terrorism in the U.S.
But the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk last month and attacks against immigration enforcement efforts have fueled a talking point for Republicans about concerns over left-wing political violence.
The political motivations behind these attacks are still unclear, but one study says that violence from the left has been the greater threat so far this year.
NPR’s domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef looks into whether this claim is correct.

Marxist economist Richard Wolff returns to Bad Faith along with historian, professor, and Green Party candidate for governor of California Butch Ware to forensically break down Gavin Newsom's recent viral appearance on Higher Learning with Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay. Wolff & Ware weigh in on Newsom's evasions in response to questions about the inherent contradictions of capitalism, California's failure to implement Medicare for All, & the "interesting" AIPAC moment; while the Higher Learning interview serves as a jumping off point for a broader and deeper conversation about the future of left politics, Zohran Mamdani, and the limits of the Democratic Party. (It's spooky season, and there's something magical happening with this guest pairing.)

The liberal meltdown over the creation of a ballroom at the White House is another example of how liberals and the left keep stepping on their own substantive disagreements with Donald Trump because they get distracted by...stupid things. Give a listen.

Assistant Professor of Political Science at Spelman College Matt McManus joins Bad Faith to make the case for "liberal socialism." Is liberal socialism an oxymoron, or should leftist seek to reclaim the positive values of the liberal tradition as a way to insulate "socialism" from the stigma of authoritarianism? But first, Briahna & Matt discuss the AOC/Bernie townhall, debates about Zohran Mamdani's perceived shift toward the center, Kamala Harris's book tour meltdowns, & more clips from a packed media week.
