Note that the MOMocrats dropped this week's first F-bomb in the intro to this week's podcast. That's just how frustrated Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills are feeling with Donald Trump's burgeoning Middle East quagmire - which he started without a purpose, a goal, or any kind of exit plan.

As for the Democrats in Congress: they are mostly holding fast on refusing any new funds for the Department of Homeland Security. This fight has been at a standstill for weeks, and the MOMocrats agree that this is exactly the kind of leverage the minority party should be using.

But will they also be willing to hold up funding for this war, too? What about the nomination of Markwayne Mullin to succeed Kristi Noem at DHS? Or the SAVE Act, a voter suppression scheme that Trump wants enacted so he can steal some more elections? Right now, it does. not appear that it can get even all the Republicans on board to pass it - but the mere fact of its existence is upsetting.

There was good news this week on the electoral front as Democratic candidates continue to perform well. And some under-the-radar developments over the Epstein files.
