Sad little men argue with President Zelenskyy about his lack of gratitude towards Trump, a man who tried to extort him back in 2018. BE GRATEFUL!! The embarrassing s-show had one man giddy: Vladimir Putin. The rest of us are in shock. Then, Elon's Starlink wants to take over the FAA, a body that heretofore was REGULATING Starlink. And RFK Jr. is already on his way to getting us all killed by downplaying the Measles, and canceling the meeting of flu vaccination board. Frantastic Fridays on The Bitchuation Room are free to watch.

Abortion rights are popular, but the broligarchy cannot abide. Journalist Jessica Valenti joins Francesca to talk about criminalizing women’s travel and healthcare despite a surge in infant and maternal mortality deaths. And comedian Jamie Loftus joins to talk our new deputy FBI chief who is more concerned with liberal tears than law enforcement.

Governor Janet Mills stands firm against Trump's anti-trans ban, vowing to take him to court. Steve Bannon makes waves with a chilling salute at CPAC, echoing troubling far-right sentiments. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's parenting antics spark debate as his baby mamas turn to Twitter for attention. Trans actor Hunter Schafer highlights the absurdities of bureaucratic gender identification issues, sharing her own struggles. It's a lively mix of politics, personal stories, and a call for solidarity in the face of rising extremism.

Elon admits the DOGE project is political. And who TF is actually in charge of the bullsh*t agency anyway? The administration can’t get their story straight, they just know he’s in charge, mmkay? Author and podcast host Paris Marx joins Francesca to understand how the breaking of the federal government is by design. You know the same designer that gave us the finger-chomping Cybertruck. Then Francesca explains the bizarre Zionist Spy Vs Spy attempted murder case in Miami and the first ever statement from United Healthcare CEO assassin, Luigi Mangione. Featuring:Paris Marx, podcaster and author https://techwontsave.us/ https://www.disconnect.blog/***Catch Francesca and friends at the Ice House in Pasadena for the live show "New World Disorder" on Feb 19th at 7:30pm!

Thea Riofrancos, a climate policy expert and co-chair of the Climate and Community Institute, joins Francesca to discuss the urgent need for radical climate action. They critique Biden's climate plans for not going far enough and dive into the troubling political ties of NYC Mayor Eric Adams, suggesting he's compromising community needs. The conversation also touches on grassroots mobilization, the intersection of climate and feminist movements in Latin America, and challenges of public understanding regarding current climate policies.

Corrupt NYC mayor Eric Adams makes a deal with the devil named Donald Trump. Luckily, socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani joins Francesca to lay out a vision for New York that has everything to do with giving back to New Yorkers rather than taking them for a ride. And comedian Nato Green explains how the Musk/Trump attacks on organized labor is a challenge that must be met with every form of resistance, including militant action. Plus, House speaker Hakeem Jeffries asks the dumbest question possible. If this is how Democrats fight against fascism, imagine how they fight for us?

Unelected tween hackers have seized our government. Kyle Kulinksi of Secular Talk and Krystal & Kyle and Friends joins Francesca to break down the week of illegal atrocities. From sending 10 people to Guantanamo, to the seizure of the U.S. Treasury, to denying Congresspeople entry to agencies, and the executive orders against Trans people, it's an assault on every aspect of American society. Plus, why the strategy of just talking to the right is dangerously misguided.Featuring:Kyle Kulinksi, Secular Talkhttps://www.youtube.com/seculartalk***FACTORMEALS.com/bitchuation50off and use code bitchuation50off for 50% off plus free shipping on your first box.***The Bitchuation Room Podcast is available everywhere you get your podcasts.
