OA552: Will Joe Manchin Save Democracy? No, Really! … Stop Laughing…

Today’s show breaks down President Biden’s pivot from passing the Build Back Better Act to passing the Joe Manchin-cosponsored Freedom to Vote Act, S. 2747. What’s in the bill? Is it Manchin’ed? Listen and find out!

In the “B” segment, Andrew points and laughs at insurrection John C. Eastman’s doomed attempt to prevent Verizon from turning over his phone records to the 1/6 Commission.. It’s funny because they’re all dumb.

Finally, we have a very brief update on the Activision lawsuit you won’t want to miss.
