Assertive Hospitality

Some People Deserve A Shiner
As Trump's latest International cosplay ends, his authoritarian cosplay at home continues. Meanwhile, so does the fight to vote, along with the growing fears of many Americans - most of which our failing mainstream news media can't seem to cover with any level of nuance or accuracy. Thankfully, we've got experienced journalist & expert communications strategist Meredith Shiner joining us at the bar tonight, to add context, nuance, and fun. Grab a drink and join us!

Preparation, Not Paralysis
If you took a weekend away from the news, you missed a lot. From Donald's TACO with Putin, to today's meeting with Zelensky & EU leaders, to Newsom's newest attack on Trump & MAGA, there's a lot of news. Thankfully, we’ve got some great guests tonight to help us get through all of it. Jared Rizzi is filling in for Jody, so Parker Molloy dropped in to add some feminine energy. And Brooklyn Dad Defiant is back for his usual Monday drinking & dancing. Grab a drink & join us!
