Welcome to another week of Wear We Are with Michael & Melissa Wear! In this week's episode, we start off talking about the expelling of the Tennessee Three from the state legislature this past week and the precedent it sets. Next, we discuss political science research from February that studies the "Need for Chaos Voter" and how it fits into what we know about American politics. Finally, Melissa points out an important and developing facet about TikTok.

What do you think? We'd love to know your thoughts!

Welcome to another week of Wear We Are with Michael & Melissa Wear! In this week's episode, we start off walking parents through tragedies like the Nashville school shooting and address any and all listeners who have kids who want to become politically engaged, whether it's through protesting, volunteering, writing to their elected officials, and more.

Next, we cover the viral WSJ-NORC poll that came out this past week. The poll shows that American values of religion, community involvement, and having children have plummeted since 2019. We parse through the meaning of a poll like this.

Finally, based on a reader question this past week, we try to explain the fight between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Disney World. It's certainly interesting!

What do you think? We'd love to know your thoughts!

Thank you for listening to The Morning Five! On today's episode, Sen. John Fetterman is returning to the Senate after receiving treatment for depression. Senators Kaine and Young (a Democrat and Republican) cosponsored a bill to repeal The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 and it passed the Senate. Finally, the Governor of Kentucky vetoed a bill on restrictions for transgender youth care and Kentucky's Senate overrode the governor's veto.
