Political Playlist Happy Hour

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss the politician on their playlist: Rob Bresnahan, the freshman Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania's 8th district. He ran on the platform of banning congressional stock trading and guess what he's done in the two years in office? Make over 600 stock trades !!! He claims it's all legit and done through a broker, but Paige Cognetti, the Democratic Mayor of Scranton isn't having it. That's why she's challenging him for his seat and she's ahead in the polls. Any guesses on what her big campaign platform pitch is? ...ban congressional stock trading.

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss How To Talk About: The wheels on the Trump Train possibly coming off, thanks to the USS Lincoln, Natalie Harp, and Kim Jung-Un. That's right, three seemingly unrelated news stories dominating the headlines that are all pointing to one alarming thing: Trump is maybe falling apart. And spoiler, it's very clear he isn't surrounding by the best and the brightest people. We get into all the tea but all gossip aside, what really concerns us is his decision-making, or apparent lack thereof. Xo, Pol Pla.

Playlisters, we're going back to one of the OG politicians on our playlist this week, and that's none other than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the notorious AOC. Michael and Anna have put her on the playlist this week because she's doing something pretty remarkable and never-before-done. As a young female sitting member of Congress, she's sharing her IVF journey for all the world to see, documenting every step of her process in freezing her eggs, and in the process, sharing the stories of tons of other women who have gone through similar journeys. And speaking of journeys, it turns out Anna has been on a little bit of a journey herself--wink wink.

On todays episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna discuss how to talk about the new revised Childhood Vaccine mandates based on...ideology which is the new science, according to RFK Jr. and his band of merry brain worms. Indeed, Trump issued a new Executive Order reducing the number of required vaccines for children to 11, down from 17, and RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers are none too happy. But what does this mean for you? And your children? And the health of this country? We're going to talk about all of it, and we're also going to remind you to always consult with credible medical professions...of which RFK Jr is not one.

Usually our Thursday episodes shine a light on something interesting or productive coming from a young member of Congress or candidate. Today, it's a different story. Because Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) is facing some very serious accusations of abuse against his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their young daughter. What makes this even more complicated, is that Emily Moreno's father, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), has corroborated his daughter's accusations, but only after quite a bit of time staying silent. Yet again, we see a man in Congress doing the exact opposite of what we would expect from the people leading our country. Tune in to get the details of the accusations, what this means for the Republican caucus, and our hopes and dreams to have to never talk about these kinds of terrible men ever again!
