Bad Faith is two shows in one: it's a panel show about politics and pop culture with a rotating cast of performers and politicians, artists and activists, writers and radicals; and it's a two-way podcast where two people from two very different parts of the left make the case for one less terrible world. 

Briahna Joy Gray (@briebriejoy) is a former attorney, National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign, co-host of campaign podcast Hear The Bern, and a journalist who is early enough in her political career that she remains (tragically) sanguine.

Virgil Texas (@virgiltexas) is an internet user and co-host of Chapo Trap House.

The "inflation reduction" reconciliation bill has now passed. How should the left feel? Brie speaks to Matt Bruenig of the People's Policy Project about what the climate provisions really mean in the broader context of the fight against climate change, whether or not it actually addresses inflation, & why Joe Manchin finally got on board with a reconciliation bill after over a year of being pressured. Also, are they going to really end the student loan moratorium at the end of the month? And why are we experiencing historically low unemployment if high interest rates were supposed to depress business growth?

Next, an interview with Brent Welder -- lawyer and former congressional candidate in Kansas's 3rd district -- about the recent victory for abortion advocates in the state who defeated a ballot measure that would alter the state constitution to curb abortion rights.
