Shut It Down

September 04, 2025 • MOMocrats • Season 13 • Episode 30

If we were living through normal times, the month of August would have been relatively quiet. Instead, we got ICE raids and economic jolts, amid National Guard deployments to American cities and mid-cycle gerrymandering. Not to mention the Epstein saga.

And now that Congress is back in session, the chaos is about to go into high gear.

Right now, everyone's eyes are on the saga of the Epstein files (for very good reasons). But Congress has a looming deadline of September 30 to fund the government, and that sparked a lively discussion on Democratic strategy between MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills.
