Ever feel like politics makes as little sense as parenting a toddler? Same.

In this episode, we're launching our first-ever Momarchy Fantasy Draft: Make It Make Sense Edition, where we each pick the wildest political stories of the week and attempt the impossible: explaining them like rational adults. (Spoiler: we fail, but it's fun.)

Between Trump's latest antics, the East Wing demolition, and the never-ending government shutdown, we're breaking it all down with plenty of laughter and side stories about food poisoning, hand-foot-mouth disease, and why Target is basically church for moms.

Because when democracy feels like a toddler on Halloween candy, sometimes all you can do is pour a ginger ale (or wine) and laugh through the madness.

We Discuss:

(00:01) Food poisoning, packing chaos, and recording from home

(03:51) Sick kids, vaccine shortages, and the annual preschool panic

(08:12) The first-ever Momarchy Draft: making political nonsense make sense (kind of)

(12:25) Target runs, scheduling fun, and why "self-care" looks different for moms

(18:03) The myth of balance and the art of stop pretending we can do it all

(24:51) He's not babysitting, he's parenting

(33:02) The AI poop video, the yelling leak and more: the week's wildest headlines

(51:30) Sweaty gym clothes, diaper bags, and the ultimate Momarchy Challenge
