Dolly Parton is dead at 80 — RIP to a lady who set the standard for what a good person can accomplish. Meanwhile, on the extreme opposite end, Jared Kushner is meeting privately with Hakeem Jeffries while AIPAC still runs the table in Washington. Francesca is joined by Miles Gray of The Daily Zeitgeist to talk about Dolly's legacy, the manufactured trans panic that erupted at a WNBA game, and why the Democratic establishment keeps finding common ground with LITERALLY ANYONE instead of the left.
Dolly Parton is dead at 80 — RIP to a lady who set the standard for what a good person can accomplish. Meanwhile, on the extreme opposite end, Jared Kushner is meeting privately with Hakeem Jeffries while AIPAC still runs the table in Washington.

Then, Francesca interviews investigative journalist and labor organizer Camila Lourdes Galarza, reporting from an undisclosed location after receiving death threats, about the tortured fishermen who survived the strikes, the murdered prosecutor, and the US-backed dictatorship taking shape in Ecuador under President Daniel Noboa.
And oh, yeah – remember the US boat strikes off the coast that killed over 220 people with zero evidence any of them were trafficking drugs? The prosecutor investigating it just turned up assassinated.
