Benito Bowl and Gerrymandering Armageddon w/David Daley & Usamah Andrabi (Ep 319)

Can Democrats convince voters they’re serious about stopping ICE ahed of the midterms? And also, will the midterms be fair given the amount of redistricting fuckery?

Francesca and Usamah Andrabi of Justice Democrats discuss Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer's lackluster 10 commandments for ICE and how the so-called opposition party is already making concessions.

Plus, will there be even BE midterm elections? We discuss how Trump is strong-arming Republicans to ensure they do not lose the house. David Daley joins to talk about how Republican gerrymandering has reshaped American politics and how the John Robert’s Supreme Court is on the precipice of delivering a death blow to the Voting Rights Act.

Plus, Francesca reacts to MAGA's spin out about the Bad Bunny's súper Super Bowl show and the curious case of Richard Branson's PR team.

Featuring:

David Daley, journalist and author,

Usamah Andrabi, communications director for Justice Democrats,

A Virgin Group spokesperson contacted our show re: Richard Branson and says:

“Any contact Richard and Joan Branson had with Epstein took place on only a few occasions more than twelve years ago, and was limited to group or business settings, such as a charity tennis event. When Epstein offered a charity donation, the Bransons asked their team to carry out due diligence before accepting the donation, which uncovered serious allegations. As a result of what the due diligence uncovered, Virgin Unite did not take the donation and Richard and Joan decided not to meet or speak with Epstein again. Had they had the full picture and information, there would have been no contact whatsoever – Richard believes that Epstein’s actions were abhorrent and supports the right to justice for his many victims.”

Anyway, do your own research.
