What a blast we had chatting with healthcare activist and Executive Director of Health Care Voter, Laura Packard! We discuss what’s left in the Build Back Better bill, and what Democrats can do to move the ball forward on healthcare in the wake of this week’s election results in Virginia, and leading into next year’s midterms. It’s a fun and substantive conversation, so don’t miss it!

This week, special Guest Erica Bardin joins us! We pick up where we left off last week to further destroy the HEROES Act, and talk about the new, strange bedfellows coalition trying to actually offer something that works. Trust us, it’s a weird group. Plus we’ll dive deep into the Veepstakes and discuss every possible reason why Amy Klobuchar shouldn’t be Veep. And guys, the list of reasons is long. All this, plus another entry in the ongoing series, “why Joe Biden should just stay quiet in the basement”.

This week we combine radical forces to share our thoughts on the HEROES Act, The Biden/Sanders task forces, Dems losing elections and Joe Biden’s general ineptitude. Oh and don’t worry, we’ll also make space force jokes as well.

BTL #321 - I Wrote The Bill - 7/5/19

This week BTL is back with an IN DEPTH discussion of the Democratic Debates, Puerto Rico’s amazing activism, and all the horrible news you missed while we were gone. Brent says some confusing things about Marianne Williamson (NOT ENDORSEMENT THINGS, CALM DOWN) but it gives us a chance to discuss our favorite topic - our prescience when it comes to presidential election cycles and how they work. Also, it’s summer recess in Congress which means…it’s townhall season! Go bug your reps!
