The Bitchuation Room

Milo Yiannopoulos: arrested by the same ICE machine he spent years cheering on! He’s detained pending deportation, and Jasmine Crockett won't say whether she'll campaign for James Talarico against Ken Paxton in Texas. Wajahat Ali of The Left Hook joins to break it all down.

We cover the deliberate dismantling of the FDA, CDC, and EPA that's turned grocery store lettuce, guac, and pistachio butter into public health hazards, the Trump administration's push to sell off Yosemite and Big Bend National Park to private developers and border wall contractors, and Hakeem Jeffries' meeting with Jared Kushner days after attacking Medicare for All and defending Islamophobe Randy Fine. Then, the Milo Yiannopoulos story: the DHS press release, the years of him demanding mass deportations and ICE checkpoints, and why nobody's crying for him.

Plus Jasmine Crockett is refusing to commit to campaigning for Talarico in the Texas Senate race? WHAT HAPPENED TO "vote blue no matter who"?!

Dolly Parton is dead at 80 — RIP to a lady who set the standard for what a good person can accomplish. Meanwhile, on the extreme opposite end, Jared Kushner is meeting privately with Hakeem Jeffries while AIPAC still runs the table in Washington. Francesca is joined by Miles Gray of The Daily Zeitgeist to talk about Dolly's legacy, the manufactured trans panic that erupted at a WNBA game, and why the Democratic establishment keeps finding common ground with LITERALLY ANYONE instead of the left.

Then, Francesca interviews investigative journalist and labor organizer Camila Lourdes Galarza, reporting from an undisclosed location after receiving death threats, about the tortured fishermen who survived the strikes, the murdered prosecutor, and the US-backed dictatorship taking shape in Ecuador under President Daniel Noboa.

And oh, yeah – remember the US boat strikes off the coast that killed over 220 people with zero evidence any of them were trafficking drugs? The prosecutor investigating it just turned up assassinated.

Minnesota leads the way with Peggy Flanagan and anti-ICE , anti-FLOCK cameras and anti-Jake Lang resistance. How is this midwest seed-art state able to do so much in these times of fascism? Francesca finds out, speaking with state Senator Zaynab Mohamed, on how a slim Democratic majority converted to real political wins.

Then from Natalie Harp’s insanity, Boy George’s genocide song, and the many FDA recalls, Francesca digs into local and national shenanigans with comedians Matt Lieb and Lizz Winstead. Plus a history lesson into Anthony Comstock, the man who purchased all the lewd magazines and objects and is the reason we might not have Plan C pills no more. There’s even a cameo from failed Minnesota gubernatorial candidate, Mike Lindell, by way of James Adomian.

Recorded live at the Parkway Theater on August 20th, 2026. Thanks to everyone who came out.

A black academic is dead, while Andrew Tate gets a MAGA lawyer to defend his crimes. Hakeem Jeffries rejects Medicare for All and Jared Kushner tells Israel to “finish the job”. Francesca is joined by Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report to talk about why the British press is so vicious and how Peter Thiel fascists are behind the deadly anti-DEI backlash. 

Then, the Tate Brothers are bringing all the worst men out to rally for them outside of a Miami jail, and we all wonder how such misogyny has broken containment into the mainstream. 

Finally, Francesca interviews Mother Jones' elections correspondent Ari Berman about the midterms, gerrymandering, Trump’s grand plan (if any exists) for 2028, how are Republicans making voting near impossible, and where are they holding back on their worst wiles… if anywhere.
