Our Top Absurd Political Moments, MAHA Misinformation, and Gentle Parenting
What happens when two political strategist moms rank the most absurd political moments of the year? Pure chaos—and some surprisingly serious revelations about what's really happening.
In this episode of Momarchy, we are sharing our top three most ridiculous political moments from 2025. From Trump tweeting casual foreign policy to pregnancy surveillance bills that sound like dystopian fiction but are actually law, we're breaking down the headlines that made us question reality.
We also launch our new segment "Ask a Millennial Mom," where we rapid-fire through questions about gentle parenting (it's complicated), mom wine culture, chunky dad sneakers, and the dangerous rise of anti-vaccine mom influencers in the MAHA movement.
This episode perfectly captures why we started this podcast: sometimes you have to laugh at the chaos to stay sane, but you can't let the comedy distract you from the policies that actually matter to working families.
