Monica Lewinsky and Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow join for a very special episode of Hysteria. Mallory and Alyssa discuss Trump’s systematic dismantling of the Department of Education, Lisa Murkowski’s scathing read of the Republican Party, and their media diets. Then Monica shares behind-the-scenes stories from her new podcast and what reclaiming means to her. They wrap up with a petty rant about Usha Vance and a wholesome story of community coming together.
