This week Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco toast Deb Haaland, our new Secretary of the Interior, chat with Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried about Governor Ron DeSantis’ blatant corruption, and talk to Ambassador Samantha Power about serving in the Obama administration and the time she went into labor during an argument with the President. Then Tien Tran and Grace Parra join to discuss the rise of anti-Asian American hate crimes, global violence against women, and the excuses powerful men make for their violent acts of misogyny and hate. Plus, a strong argument to abolish jeans forever in I Feel Petty.
