MIDRIFFS AND GROYPERS with Francesca and Emma Vigeland
Friday, March 13, 2026 ⢠Duration 01:37:18
Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report joined Francesca on The Bitchuation Room to talk about the nonsense and the news.
The right wing freaks are losing their minds over Rama Duwaji, The First Lady of NYC. She had the audacity to like some Instagram posts that said the occupation of Gaza is bad! Even worse, she exposed her midriff in a picture. The horny⌠I mean, the horror!
While distracted by the start of the newest forever war in Iran, the DOJ released files of a credible accusation against Trump by a 14-year-old girl. Why are MAGA mouthpieces so unable to even address these allegations?Â
Also, what is going on with Gen Z men? Why has an entire generation of dudes turned into young Republicans? Except now they are groypers who are straight up nationalists, like former hedge fund manager James Fishback who is running for governor of Florida.
And finally, letâs get some shoes! Specifically, the $145 Florsheim dress shoes that Donald Trump is forcing all the men in his cabinet to wear, no matter if they fit or not. I love this for them.
The Bitchuation Room LIVE in Los Angeles with Emma Vigeland is SOLD OUT for Sunday March 22nd at Dynasty Typewriter. But become a patron or a member on YouTube and get exclusive access to the video version of it.

Candidate Corner: Jane Kim for CA Insurance Commissioner
Thursday, March 12, 2026 ⢠Duration 44:45
Even IF you can afford a home, have a monthly mortgage, youâre oftentimes still being gouged by insurance companies. Thatâs what candidate Jane Kim wants to change by becoming Californiaâs next insurance commissioner.
Jane is a former SF Supervisor, ran for mayor, and was the California Political Director for Bernie 2020, and has served as the CA director of the Working Families Party. Sheâs ready for this key consumer-advocacy role that has the ability to change how we think of homeownership and âriskâ.
Not two years since the worst wildfires the state has seen, with thousands losing their homes, insurance companies are still jacking up prices on California homeowners. And current commissioner Ricardo Lara is letting them, or putting people onto the âFAIRâ state-run insurance plan that is just as costly full of denial and delays⌠you know like all insurance companies.
Jane thinks we can do better by putting everyone on a state-run plan and cutting out the market incentive altogether.Â

Can Democrats convince voters theyâre serious about stopping ICE ahead 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 Robertâs 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 sĂşper Super Bowl show.

A Virgin Group spokesperson contacted our show re: Richard Branson and says: âAny 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 â Richard believes that Epsteinâs actions were abhorrent and supports the right to justice for his many victims.âÂ
Anyway, do your own research.
