Shownotes

This week, Emily and Samie wade through a full-blown legislative disaster and emotional meltdown, because 2025 really said, “Let’s reboot the Bush era, but make it messier.”

👀 Trump launched airstrikes without Congress, declared a “12-Day War” on Truth Social, and apparently solved global conflict from his iPhone. Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson are… making sense? Should we be worried?

💊 Also in this episode:

Lisa Murkowski betrays Alaska and Washington. Again.
Hetero Awesome Fest flops (as it should).
Abortion and gender-affirming care privacy? Kiss it goodbye, thanks to a Texas judge.
Civics quiz: how many state legislators does WA have? No Googling—Samie will judge you.
And a $714M ferry contract floats off to Florida.

Plus, serotonin-hunting, hormonal breakdowns, political gaslighting, and the existential crisis that is shopping at Cabela’s in 2025. We’re not well. But at least we’re funny.

Rate, review, rage. And join us at the Snohomish Podcast Network launch party July 25!
