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?
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, let’s 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.

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, you’re oftentimes still being gouged by insurance companies. That’s what candidate Jane Kim wants to change by becoming California’s 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. She’s ready for this key consumer-advocacy role that has the ability to change how we think of homeownership and “risk”.
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 “FAIR” 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.

Don’t call it a war! It’s an excursion, a vision quest, an unwoke walkabout. Gas prices are rising along with the death toll, and Trump officials say there could be boots on the ground. We spoke about the propaganda and absurdity of the first two weeks of this war on Iran with expert Negar Mortazavi (13:52).
Then, while missiles fly overhead in Israel, settlers are attacking and killing Palestinians in the West Bank at a terrifying rate. Including American citizens. Journalist Jasper Nathaniel talks about the collaboration between settlers and the Israeli military, how he himself was chased by settlers during an olive harvest last fall, and what we should be demanding of our Democratic leaders (47:20).

Candidate Corner: Kina Collins + Oliver Larkin
Friday, March 6, 2026 • Duration 01:56:01
AIPAC hates her but it doesn’t stop her. Kina Collins is a grassroots community organizer who has worked for Medicare for all and against gun violence in Chicago’s 7th district. She’s also been arrested outside of the Israeli Embassy and was deeply involved in the BLM organizing that ousted Rahm Emanuel for covering up police murder. Now she needs your help and donations to win her primary in Illinois 7th!
Plus, we talk with Oliver Larkin, an independent Democrat running for Congress in Florida's 23rd district. Oliver was raised in South Florida, worked for Bernie Sanders, and is passionate about affordability, climate resilience, public land, water privatization, LGBTQIA+ rights, and immigration justice.
And finally, a moment of silence for the most obnoxious DHS Secretary to ever do it, Kristi Noem. May she never get near any political power (or dogs) again.

Netanyahu Cucks Trump & Organizing Against ICE w/ Eric Blanc (Ep 322)
Wednesday, March 4, 2026 • Duration 01:42:17
Who is really calling the shots in the US military operations in Iran?
Marco Rubio and Mike Johnson are very open to admitting that Israel is the one who is dragging the US into war. Meanwhile Hegseth says his Department of War is different because it’s not woke. Francesca breaks down the latest on Iran plus the news about Kristi Noem's luxury Big Beautiful (Booty Call) Jet.
Then, we'll talk with labor historian, author, and professor Eric Blanc (53:55) about what a real general strike would look like, the lessons about organizing from Minneapolis, and why blanket boycotts might be bullshit.

She is Faizah Malik looking to represent real people in one of the wealthiest districts in the city on a message of affordability and true safety.

The Cuomo of California with Jennifer Welch, Angie Sullivan, and Anat Shenker-Osorio (Ep 321)
Wednesday, February 25, 2026 • Duration 01:53:20
The current reality of pedo-rings, state murders, and Epstein’s sperm bank of Nobel laureates *scrubs eyes* feels pretty far away from the “politics of joy” Kamala used to peddle. But a couple of leaks from the otherwise-shelved DNC autopsy of why Harris lost is revealing it did have a lot to do with Gaza. Francesca unpacks what we do know with political communications strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio (59:41).
Plus, the badass bitches of the “I’ve Had It” podcast Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan (10:56) join Francesca to talk about ICE whistleblowers and suspicious deaths. Justice for Ruben Ray Martinez! They’ve also had it with lukewarm dems and our criminal enterprise of a government. Plus, what was Jeffery Epstein’s eugenicist plan at Zorro Ranch to impregnate girls and freeze his dick?

The Empire’s Wasteland w/ Abby Martin (Ep 320)
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 01:42:17
Stopping climate chaos means stopping the U.S. military. It is the biggest polluter and consumer of fossil fuels.
In her new documentary, "Earth's Greatest Enemy”, Abby Martin unmasks the global military empire's climate impact on humans, animals and nations. Plus, was our only hope against Biden’s genocide a blunt and White Castle? We discuss Kal Penn’s recent admission on Hasan Minhaj’s show.
Also this week, we learned that a 2-month old is being held in the squalid Dilley detention center in Texas. The baby is one of thousands held at this private immigration prison. Francesca and Abby discuss the growing warehouse detention center industry with direct ties to the White House.
And Hillary Clinton strikes again with the world’s worst take on immigration, offering another stark reminder why Democrats should leave Clintonism behind.
Featuring: Abby Martin, journalist and documentarian (13:21)
