This is the hot takes episode. We are in an ornery mood and we pre-gamed this recording for two hours, so buckle up.
On the docket: the internet's purity-police problem — why piling on lifestyle influencers the moment they dip a toe into politics (badly) is a losing strategy for a party that needs to grow its tent, not shrink it. Then, AOC is meeting with MAHA activists, Turning Point's Alex Clark is sounding the alarm about it, and we break down why the MAHA-adjacent mom vote is genuinely up for grabs — and why the way doctors talk about vaccines is losing a communication war that Jenny McCarthy started winning decades ago.
Also: Nara Smith goes on Call Her Daddy to declare she was never a tradwife (sure, Jan), what that says about where the tradwife aesthetic is headed, and how conservative messaging about motherhood is quietly softening its edges. We cover the serious abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller of Ohio — and his father-in-law Senator Bernie Moreno's too-little-too-late response.
And to leave you on a high note: Jon Ossoff got hot, George Clooney might be running, and we would simply like a hot president. We've earned it.
Content note: this episode includes discussion of domestic violence and child abuse allegations.
