*Preview* The Sacramento Bee stings Doris Matsui

**This is a preview of our premium show, The Plug. To listen to the full episode, go to patreon.com/thedrain.**

Hey folks! We've both been working a lot this spring, so episodes have been hard to come by, but we're ramping up once again for you all -- expect your usual two per week.

Today we're discussing a couple of major things. To begin: Kempa's sweet baby pit bull (and The Drain's official mascot), Olive, needs a home.

That's right, Kempa's baby needs a forever space. She's a quirky 60-lb, 9-year-old baby, with a couple of special needs that I can give details on if you reach out. Olive's currently in a wonderful foster home just a mile away from me, but I'm desperate to find a place that's just perfect for her. So if you might have that (and you preferably live in northern California), please reach out to the show at thedrainpodcast@gmail.com.

Beyond that, we're discussing how the Sacramento Bee absolutely bodied Congresswoman Doris Matsui with a promise of no endorsement since she ran away from a discourse between herself and Mai Vang for her seat in Congress. We also discuss Matsui's missteps on Iran.

Speaking of which, we take a look at the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, and how they're trying to sour the race between Ammar Campa-Najjar and Marni von Wilpert in the Dem-on-Dem race for CA-48.

Finally, we take a look at one of our faves fucking things up in the race for Nancy Pelosi's open Congress seat in San Francisco. Why is Track AIPAC giving all this airtime to Saikat Chakrabarti and not a true progressive in Connie Chan? We have the info.
