Description

Biden’s next big thing: after the success of his $1.9 trillion covid relief bill, Biden’s economic recovery bill is ready for prime time. Harold Meyerson explains. Also, the Democrats’ voting rights bill – and the unlikely union organizing Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama.
Also: Michelle Obama’s memoir is out now in paperback - It’s called “Becoming,” and it has sold more than 14 million copies worldwide in hardcover. The book avoids politics—which seems strange for the person the New York Times called "the most outspoken first lady in modern history." Amy Wilentz comments. (originally broadcast in November 2018).
Plus: Ella Taylor talks about the new HBO documentary on Q-Anon, the right-wing conspiracy theory about cannibalistic pedophiles that helped mobilize people to attack the capitol on Jan.6. Also: “Tina” – and “The Father.”
