  • Moms for Liberty

    In this episode, we look at the group Moms for Liberty, a "parental rights" organization with chapters nationwide. While they claim to be a plucky grassroots outfit funded by t-shirt sales, they're really a front group funded by the same billionaires and Christian nationalists that brought us such hits as Dobbs and January 6.
