New Deals, New Democrats w/Saikat Chakrabarti (Ep 332)
A $1.7 billion “retribution” fund for Jan 6ers is set up while SNAP benefits get cut while Trump critics lose their elections — the cult is real and total loyalty is required. Plus: a California judge has permanently banned Kars4Kids from the airwaves…for being a pro-Israel op the whole time?! I coulda told you that.
Then, he co-founded Justice Democrats, helped elect the Squad, and served as AOC’s chief of staff — now Saikat Chakrabarti is running for Congress in San Francisco’s 11th district. We talk about being a class traitor, public ownership of AI, fighting fascism from inside Congress, and why crypto billionaires are already cutting ads against him.
Featuring: Saikat Chakrabarti (52:32), co-founder of Justice Democrats and former Chief of Staff to AOC, candidate for Congress in California’s 11th district
