Episode: #397 Cabinet For Grabs, Gently Used
Description: Kaitlin and Amanda are back to deconstruct Biden’s Cabinet, which includes some disappointing if not confusing picks. They break down Pete Buttigieg’s nomination for Transportation Secretary and explain the progressive reaction to the appointment. Then, they discuss Joe Biden’s response to pressure from civil rights leaders and the appointment of Rep.
