Filibusted: 60 Items or Less

Coming to a C-SPAN near you… We’re talking about the big COVID relief act known as the American Rescue Plan Act. We talk about what’s in it, what’s not, who hates it, who loves it, who’s trying to take credit, & who’s whining on TV about it. This bill will help a ton of Americans who are really hurting, but that doesn’t stop the right-wing politicians & media from doing what they do. Later, we talk about the filibuster, its ugly history & impudent design, & why it is nothing more than an roadblock to progress (spoiler alert, it’s racially charged). We also talk about the murders committed by an unhinged terrorist who targeted Asian women, & the asinine attempts by law enforcement to infantilize him. Other topics include Eminem vs Gen Z, Degrassi’s floating timeline, & the tragic passing on Degrassi actor Jahmil French earlier this month. This week on “Amendment Time,” it’s the 22nd Amendment! This one created official term limits following the four presidential victories of FDR.
