We realized through conversations with people in all different settings, most have NO IDEA what"s going on in our local government. We decided to do this podcast to cover the shenanigans that we think is especially important for our friends and family to know. We do say a few cuss words so we

ICE to Meet You and the Hypocrisy Olympics

While We Still Can ·

2025/08/08

This week, we dive into the hot mess of American politics where DACA recipients still get surprise ICE visits, Missouri lawmakers treat voter-approved laws like suggestions, and paid sick leave is somehow controversial. Sprinkle in a dash of conspiracy theories, a heaping scoop of political hypocrisy, and just enough national debt panic to keep you up at night. Civic engagement never sounded so exhausting.

Obamagate: Fanfiction for the Fox-Brained and more...

While We Still Can ·

2025/08/08

This week, we dive headfirst into the flaming dumpster that is American politics—with oven mitts, of course. Andrew Bailey is busy protecting corporations from the trauma of accountability, while actual Afghan allies get shown the door for having the audacity to believe U.S. promises mean anything. We take a scenic detour through Obamagate—aka "Fan Fiction for the Fox News Crowd"—and pause to reflect on the beautiful separation of church and state (RIP). Tina gets real with her congressman, and by

While We Still Can ·

2025/07/27

In this uplifting romp through late-stage democracy, Lisa and Tina dissect Josh Hawley’s brave crusade against poor people (via Medicaid), revisit the Epstein files that somehow never seem to reach the right courtroom, and marvel at how QAnon turned child trafficking into fan fiction.

Spoiler: It’s all a mess — but at least we can laugh while

Erecting Freedom, One 80-Foot Pole at a Time

While We Still Can ·

2025/07/08

This week’s episode dives headfirst into the comforting topic of impending global catastrophe, starting with the G7 summit—a political cosplay convention where world leaders awkwardly pretend to get along while quietly edging us toward World War III. Back in the good ol’ U.S. of A., the National Guard is popping up in places that should probably be left to, you know, civilians, while lawmakers are dodging threats like it’s part of their job description (because apparently, it is now). ICE is still

Welfare for Me, Bootstraps for Thee

While We Still Can ·

2025/06/27

Missouri’s out here rallying for democracy with the No Kings crowds while juggling youth violence, a loneliness epidemic, and more guns per capita than good decisions. The state takes in more federal money than it gives—making it a welfare queen in camo. Local crime rates rival big cities, yet politicians keep blaming "urban decay" from the safety of their subsidized offices. Meanwhile, marginalized groups are getting louder, the political right is eating itself alive, and even the skeptics are

Brain worm put out a report that contained 7 sources that are non-existent. Hope everyone is ready to live in a surveillance state, because Palantir is finishing up your dossier now!
