Release the Files and Pass the Swag Bag: Part 1

/ 49:22/S3 E38
Early Election Release Episode! In part one of this week's Um, Sir Podcast, Emily and Samie dive into the boiling cauldron of American politics, true crime horror, and good old-fashioned rage-scrolling. From the unholy mess that is the Epstein case to the GOP’s ongoing war against democracy, prenatal care, LGBTQ+ youth, and your toilet, nothing is off-limits.

đź’Ł Highlights include:
  • A deep and furious dive into Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the tangled web of powerful enablers still hiding behind sealed files.
  • Congress’s early summer recess: A strategic move to avoid votes on releasing Epstein-related documents? Yep.
  • Trump vs. Colbert vs. South Park vs. reality — what happens when satire hits back.
  • Washington state’s clergy reporting law gets blocked, and yes, child abuse is apparently up for debate now.
  • Local mayoral drama in Everett — why Scott Murphy’s campaign feels like a rerun of Cassie Franklin’s resume.
  • Tennessee’s terrifying prenatal care policies and Republicans’ obsession with abortion pills in the water (yes, seriously).
  • Planned Parenthood’s temporary court win and the quiet defunding of LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention lines.
Plus: true crime comfort reads, new episodes of South Park, and Idiocracy as a documentary.

🔔 TL;DR: Billionaires are hiding, MAGA is melting down, and we’re all just trying to stay informed without losing our minds. Oh — and release. the. damn. files.
