OK, I missed last week's podcast because I had no internet access, but then my friend Zsuzs stepped up and got us a hotspot on her T-Mobile plan for $30 a month. Now, T-Mobile won't let you get an "unlimited high-speed data" plan for a hotspot, so we get 6GB of high speed data, after which we are throttled back to 2G data speeds.
2G data speeds will almost, but not quite play the podcast from the player on this page, so I just signed up for, Stitcher Radio, where it played just fine.
Zsuzs also is the human of the cat I sent you a picture of recently, and owns a dog I have been trying to get a picture of for you... He's a pit bull and Zsuzs has a bubble wand that makes him do the Snoopy dance while snapping at the bubbles while leaping high into the air.
Anyway, it's good to have access to the podcast again, and I'll try to get around to listening to last week's podcast soon.
So you're right about the safe, blue, districts. This is maybe the safest, bluest, one of all, so I will support Barbara Lee by voting for her again and advocating for her as caucus chair now that she's running to replace Joe Crowlay, but I'll also do whatever I can to kick Dana the fuck Rohrabacher to the curb, along with Kevin McCarthy and the little cabal of despicable Republicans who still hold office in this state that Hillary won by thirty points. We can do this, god damn it, so let's get to it.

On a side note, this reminded me of BlueGal:
