    Election Day 2021! We made it through another first Tuesday in November! Let's talk about what happened on Election Day, and why. What does it mean for how Democrats and Republicans will campaign in 2022? What does it mean for the Biden Presidency? Is success -- or lack there of -- indicative of future success? Does it mean anything at all or are politics people just overdramatic? Let's chat! Check out our LinkTree for sources: https://linktr.ee/sheepthrillsradio Follow the show on social media!

    In this episode, we go through the final (?) framework for the Build Back Better plan, and figure out how we got here. Plus, we talk about Biden's representation at the G-20 summit this past weekend and implications for future global climate policy. My intern Preston also comes in to help me talk about BBB! A few notes: -During Preston's takeover, he says million when he means billion :) -I mention that it seems that Manchin has signaled his support for the current legislation, however since recording it seems clear that he is going to continue dragging his feet on certain provisions. We'll talk more about this next week, but it certainly seems that the plan is less safe in the Senate than party leaders would like.

    In The Impeachment 2.0 Episode, Emily talks about the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump and reviews the argument made by the House Impeachment Managers. She also rants about vaccines, stimulus checks, and pillows! Update: After I finished recording this episode, Donald Trump's defense team completed their presentation. They took significantly less time than they were allotted, and the Senate began questioning both sides. After a chaotic morning this Saturday, the House Impeachment Managers began the process to call witnesses, but ultimately decided to not go forward with the request. The Senate voted at 3:30 on Saturday 57-43, which was not enough to convict. The seven Republican votes were: Burr, Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Sasse, and Toomey. Notably, Burr and Toomey will not be running for reelection. Ultimately, this means that Trump will not face political repercussions for his role in causing the January 6th riot at the Capitol.

However, this seat is a safe bet for the Democrats regardless. -Dianne Feinstein is currently 87. When she runs for office again in 2024, she will be 91 years old. Chuck Grassley is also 87 right now, and will be 89 when running for re-election in 2022. -Chuck Grassley has been serving in Congress since 1975. -Sen. Leahy, the Senate President pro tempore, is a Democrat, not an Independent!
