*UPDATE: ZOHRAN MAMDANI WINS! REACTS COMING SOON OR GO TO YOUTUBE.COM/FRANIFIO TO WATCH HER RESPONSE WITH WAJAHAT ALI*
Iranians are deeply terrified about the escalating war and attacks from the U.S. and Israel. If regime change is anyone’s desire, this is sure as hell not the way to go about getting it. Iranian-American Journalist Negar Mortazavi joins to explain the ceasefire that wasn’t, the ego of the Trump regime in thinking this is over, and the joy of one Benjamin Netanyahu. Then, producer Paige Oamek and Francesca dish about Zohran Mamdani’s surge and all the different ways establishment Democrats are trying to destroy their best shot at remaining relevant and speaking to young voters who are overwhelmingly progressive. No matter what happens the fight will undoubtedly drag out until November. Gird your loins!

After bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran, Trump says NOW, nowww it's time for peace. But will it be that simple? As Israel and Iran continue to trade missile attacks — with no real ceasefire established— Francesca takes stock of this ill-fated decision to bomb yet another country in the Middle East. So long as Netanyahu wants conflict it seems, the U.S. will be mired in conflict. When will politicians on either side of the aisle grow a pair?

Trump might try and be king, but the billionaires who back him and far more concerned with their reign.
Someday Donald Trump and the movement that got him elected will be gone. And the billionaires who back him won't care. Because they have other plans.
This is the story of how deeply un-american the billionaires who buy our politicians are, from their disregard for democracy, their freak-outs over equality, or the fact that they want to secede from the United States altogether. The broligarchy has no regard for this country. A lot of them aren't even from here!
And now their dystopic plans for the United States have come out of the shadows and into the light.

What happened to the peace candidate, Donald Trump? [He never existed.] Who could have seen Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran? [Everyone]. Francesca talks World War 3 and the absolute insanity that we all know is Israel’s nuclear doublespeak. Then the war on the working people of Los Angeles continues, as ICE rounds up American citizens and cops shoot people in the stomach. BUT FIRST: Rent freeze, free buses, community grocers? New York might be poised for greatness if Zohran Mamdani wins the democratic primary. Early voting starts Saturday June 14th and election day is June 24th people! Councilmember Chi Ossé joins Francesca to talk about kicking Cuomo to the curb where he belongs.

State repression is operating on all cylinders whether in Los Angeles or Gaza. Trump salivates at the chance to deploy the military to a blue city by painting anti-ICE protesters as violent rioters, while the Israeli military captures 12 activists aboard the humanitarian flotilla. Francesca breaks it all down with Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey, who’s dedicated his content liberation for Palestine despite the de-platforming. Then, chair of Africana studies at Brown, Noliwe Rooks joins to talk about anti-DEI backlash and her new book “Integrated: How American Schools Failed Black Children.”

It’s a super special LIVE edition of The Bitchuation Room in Los Angeles and we’re talking Elon’s exit but not without drug-fueld love triangle drama. Then, Zionists in LA-city government? No wonder pro-Palestine protesters are demonized and brutalized. Then, can LA refuse to be ground zero for even more displacement by refusing the Olympics? Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez of District 1 joins to discuss how her first term has left her more invested in people power than ever. And Denton Cohen of The Rent Brigade on blowing the whistle on greedy lords of the land.

Five years after the George Floyd uprisings we reflect on how police killings are up along with the copaganda. Then, will GOP Senators tank Trumps MAGA Murder Bill because they’re… principled?! Comedian Mike Drucker joins Francesca to talk about all that and the bizarre search of Democratic party to find the ‘Joe Rogan of the left’... or of neoliberalism. Then we interview Malcolm Harris, author of "What's Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis" about a unifying approach to addressing climate change. Oh and the Gaza horrors continue.

In this white nationalist fanfic we’re living in, Trump has put birthright citizenship on the chopping block. Traci Feit Love, President & Executive Director of Lawyers for Good Government joined Francesca to talk about Trump’s battle against the American constitution.
And journalist and producer of THIS VERY SHOW Paige Oamek came by to talk with Francesca about Trump’s pay to play crypto dinner where the vibe was ‘sketch’. Plus Theo Von on Gaza and perhaps the most racist meeting with a foreign head of state as Trump goes full white genocide conspiracist.

From Biden's cancer To MAHA's eugenics, we're talking about the politics of healthcare... again. Beatrice Adler-Bolton is back to talk Medicare and the cruel budget that Republicans are poised to pass, but how Biden also oversaw the removal of millions from the program during Covid as well. Speaking of Covid, Dave Anthony is here to bitch about the vaccine only being available to the elderly and immunocompromised, and comes in hot with some hard truths about Biden's cancer diagnosis. Blue MAGA is out in full force tone policing anyone who asks us not to sympathy wash the former President, and they happen to have a lot in common with those blame anti-genocide demonstrators for his loss.... hmmmm coincidence?

Policing is deadly but it’s also making us less safe and sicker. Ronica Mukerjee and Carlos Martinez are the authors of All This Safety Is Killing Us, a book that collects clinicians and organizers and activists who believe in abolition – getting rid of a ruinous policing system – and building a healthier society for all.
Then, is Diddy going to get a pardon from Trump? Sean’s team is certainly trying to make it happen. You know these abusers have to stick together. Maybe they can work on a new crypto scam together, since apparently the entire U.S. government is green lighting the crypto takeover. Bad boy for life, indeed.

As Trump unleashes ICE on workers, grandmothers, judges and mayors, what does solidarity look like. Comedian River Butcher joins Francesca to talk about these brownshirts gone wild and Stephen Miller explaining how the administration is trying to suspend habeas corpus. Also, a small victory in the battle for trans rights in Maine isn't going unnoticed by Republicans still hell bent on focusing on the wrong one percent. Then Jaz Brisack formerly of Starbucks Workers United joins to talk about their new book "Get On The Job and Organize" and how we should organize under a Donald Trump presidency. But first, Matt Lieb stops by to talk about the Trump administration re-igniting ceasefire discussions with Hamas. The proof is in the pudding but neither he nor Francesca are convinced.

ICE Director Tom Homan is threatening to arrest sanctuary city mayors. But don’t worry! Democrats are not taking this lying down… Actually, they are. Hakeem Jeffries thinks that Dems need to put a halt to going to El Salvador to rescue the migrants illegally sent to CECOT. Who is fighting for immigrant rights? Well, a Trump appointed judge in Texas ruled that the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezualens is illegal so that's something.
Francesca also discusses Israel’s continued war crimes, this time attacking a humanitarian boat bringing aid to Gaza. Speaking of Israel, John Fetterman’s crash out is hitting all time lows according to a recent New York Magazine article. We are talkin’ refusing to wear a seatbelt on a plane level of meltdown.

Ratings are in the golden toilet for the Trump sequel and we’re here to both laugh and cry at the authoritarian incompetance. Comedian Josh Gondelman is along for the show to talk Canada’s nice nationalism and the terrifying Zionist mobs in Brooklyn heralding extremist security minister Ben Gvir. Then historian and author of Informed Comment Juan Cole joins to talk how the Trump effect is impacting the U.S.’ role globally from Gaza to Yemen to Iran and more.

The Meta and Google antitrust cases continue to move forward on Capitol Hill, despite all the kissing up to Trump Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai have done. Is a backroom deal getting done behind the scenes? David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect, joined Francesca to discuss.
Also, we are literally arresting judges who are upholding the rule of law now. Milwaukee county judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for allegedly “interfering” with an ICE arrest. The fascism train ain’t slowing down, folks.

David Dayen - Editor of The American Prospect
