The Senate passes the Covid stimulus package! Lots-o-money for unemployment, vaccines, schools, live venues, $1400 direct payments to parents and kids, child tax credits and not a single Republican voted for it. Fun. Yet some conservative Democrats, after stalling the entire process to score their own brownie points, did eventually vote yes. Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report joins host Francesca and comedian Nato Green to dive into what it all means for everyday Americans, and the future for progressive Democrats and centrist sticks in the mud. Plus, Biden’s foreign policy is coming into its own hawk-lite self, and governors re-open schools and indoor dining despite not being nearly out of the Covid woods.  FeaturingEmma Vigeland https://twitter.com/EmmaVigeland Nato Green https://twitter.com/natogreen Francesca Fiorentini https://twitter.com/franifio And Because Nato Green episodes need bibliographiesRead his article on Cuban Art & Socialismhttps://hyperallergic.com/626147/how-the-contradictions-of-socialism-make-cuban-art-great/ Who Was Gary Webb? https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/gary-webb-dead/ Join the Franita and become a Patron today: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodThanks to producer Rebecca Rufer, and post production team Kelly Carey & Dorsey Shaw. Music Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeod
