Cheri is back!

This week, Cheri and I dig into the Supreme Court and the Alito situation, the possibility of another Trump appointment, and what it could mean for democracy. We talk political strategy — Tallarico in Texas, Susan Collins and a potential MAGA nominee, the Collins-Platner Senate race in Maine, and Mitch McConnell's health — plus where the MAGA movement goes after Trump and how media has fueled radicalization in our own families. We wrap up with some Netflix picks, and thoughts on AI reliability.

Sarah Wood is back. Her social media company: Relevate Strategies

Sarah and I got into a lot this episode — Ken Paxton's win in Texas, a wild bill in North Carolina that would declare life begins at fertilization, and the DOJ looking into E. Jean Carroll. We also talked through the difference between some of the Republican and Democratic candidates--and how Tallarico's whole religious, centrist thing might actually pull in independent voters in Texas compared to Beto.

We also discuss rewatching Girls and Sex and the City, and this idea of romanticizing your daily life when everything feels like a lot. We ended up going down a rabbit hole on those cozy, soothing content creators.

Sarah Burris is a reporter at Alternet.

Topics: Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas Senate race, which left senators like Susan Collins and Chuck Grassley visibly confused; and his proposed $1.7 billion "slush fund" for Antifa, which progressive legal experts are already preparing to challenge in court. They touched on 25th Amendment speculation — Robert Reich reports Republican operatives are privately discussing it, though odds are low — and noted stronger Democratic primary turnout in states like North Carolina and Texas. The conversation closed on the tradwife YouTube phenomenon, where women building audiences around traditional domesticity often become their household's primary earner, fueling relationship strain and divorce, and raising questions about downstream effects on voting behavior.

My guest: Qasim Rashid, Esq. Human Rights Lawyer; Author; SiriusXM Host; Creator of Let's Address This Substack

We discussed Qasim’s brilliant and necessary Substack article, Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy"—why he wrote it specifically for men, the response he received, and why men need to step up. He also shared sobering facts about rape and systemic male violence, and while we did touch on current politics throughout the conversation, we placed a heavy focus on the dangers and failures of patriarchy.
