The debate over Joe Biden’s jobs plan devolves into a fight over the definition of the word infrastructure, Republicans threaten their corporate donors and their grassroots donors, Matt Gaetz raises money off of his scandal, and transgender activist Raquel Willis joins to talk about the horrific wave of anti-trans legislation sweeping the country. Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer discuss Biden’s sweeping infrastructure bill, how Mitch McConnell and other conservatives responded to corporations’ disapproval of anti-voting legislation in Georgia and other states, and why Republicans have seized onto anti-trans bigotry as a wedge issue.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
