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.

Bernie 2020 deputy campaign manager Ari Rabin-Havt returns to Bad Faith to break down how the Freedom Caucus is using the power gained via their own "force the vote" moment earlier this year to attempt to effect the rightwing agenda -- including by cutting funding to Ukraine. The mainstream media treated this effort as borderline sedition, with the New York Times characterizing the move as "playing right into Putin's hands;" but Ari uses he's deep procedural knowledge to explain that the real story here is that the left could be choosing to exercise real power, but are declining to do so. The pair discuss Force The Vote, Bernie and AOC's Biden endorsement, and more.
