Guns, Grass, and the Gutting of Democracy
Manage episode 519063838 series 3676229
This week on The Um, Sir Podcast, Emily and Samie welcome their first-ever guest, Sam from Curmudgeon’s Corner, for a dive into the week’s chaos: GOP youth leaders caught sharing racist “jokes,” millions losing food benefits thanks to Trump’s shutdown, and DoorDash stepping in as America’s new hunger relief program (yikes).
They rant about medical debt, healthcare scams, and a Supreme Court juggling guns, weed, and voting rights, all while Emily dishes on Kamala Harris’s Seattle event, Gaza protests, and what 2028 could look like for Democrats.
