Steak Sauce Intelligence, Farts, Fines and Fascism
Manage episode 493195918 series 3676229
Emily and Samie are serving up political despair with sarcasm and puppy kisses.
💸 D.C.’s Budget Strategy: Cut Medicaid, gut the CDC, and then act surprised when everything catches fire. Also, they think hospital funding is a “kickback.” Cute.
Maternal Mortality Up, Help Down: Pregnancy-related deaths are skyrocketing. Meanwhile, government officials are playing Jenga with programs meant to prevent this. Pro-life? More like pro-birth, then ghost.
Immigration WTFs: People are getting deported or detained for writing op-eds or just... existing. El Salvador’s like “not our problem” and ICE is vibing their way through civil rights.
SAVE Act = Pay-to-Vote: New bill wants you to bring a passport to register to vote. So... democracy now requires $200 and six weeks of paperwork. Cool cool.
Tax Logic by Rich White Dudes™:Poor folks pay interest, rich folks earn it. Jeff Bezos wins again.
AI or A1? Linda McMahon confused artificial intelligence with steak sauce. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Bonus LOL: Laura Ingraham once had a vanity plate that said “FARRGHT.” Yes, it reads as “fart.” Political branding, but make it gas-powered.
