🎙️ This week on The Um, Sir Podcast…
Samie and Emily are trying to look on the bright side, but clearly the Republicans on the House DOGE Committee skipped their lessons from Mr. Rogers and forgot how to get to Sesame Street. 🙃
🧀 There’s actual good news out of Wisconsin (miracles happen), Cory Booker brings a glimmer of hope from New Jersey, and Trump is tossing out tariffs like he’s hosting a twisted version of Oprah’s Favorite Things.
📦 Meanwhile, Samie’s got updates on Project 2025 — spoiler: the grind is real, but somehow the GOP is still flunking the group project.
Tune in for politics with a side of sass, and a reminder that absurdity is bipartisan. ✌️
