There’s a reason to elect more progressives to Congress: they’re finally organizing within it. David Dayen of The American Prospect joins to talk about the behind the scenes wheelings and dealings of the  infrastructure and transformative Build Back Better bills and the key role that progressives are playing to deliver for the American people. And comedian Zack Bornstein on why 'Salt Bae' is too high on his own supply, a Mississippi AG gives the worst anti-abortion excuse, and a new grim milestone has us wondering whether vaccine mandates will finally get Republicans into getting vaccinated. PLUS a *Patreon only* bonus bish test on the newest and perhaps most bonkers Trump book yet featuring colonoscopies, mushrooms and Memory.  Featuring:Zack Bornstein, comedian and writer David Dayen, author and executive editor of The American Prospect Contents5:30 What Are You Bitching About?: Salt Bae, Ozy, & Sinema22:13 The Week Where: Red Covid & Anti-Abortion AG42:50 Progressives beat back attempt to steamroll Biden/Bernie agenda1:08:00 Which TV character would be anti-vax? Join the Franita and become a Patron today: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodGet your TBR merch: www.bitchuationroom.comThanks to Rebecca Rufer, Maximillien Inhoff, Ellie Hoffman, Alexandra OrnessMusic Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-canneryLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseSupport The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE  Check Out The Bitchuation Room Podcast iTunes: http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationSpotify: http://bit.ly/spotifybitchuation Stitcher: http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuation Find Francesca On: Twitter: https://twitter.com/franifio YouTube: The Bitchuation Room’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/franifio Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FranifioInsta: https://www.instagram.com/franifio/
