Introducing the Pelosi seat race

Friday, November 28th, 2025

Today, we have a very special Daily Beans for you. My mom found a joint in my math textbook, and we're going to have to talk about the consequences. No, I'm just kidding. It's Fugelsang Fridays here on the Daily Beans. So of course we're going to talk to John Fugelsang. After that, I'm going to interview a progressive Democratic candidate running for Nancy Pelosi's seat. His name is Saikat Chakrabarti.
