## Resource

It’s Tax Day and the mood is already off. Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins are back and immediately diving into everything from outrageous government spending to the internet trying to mom-shame them for having jobs. Yes, that happened. This episode tackles the backlash head-on, breaking down the weird expectations around working moms and why the criticism is missing the point entirely. Then things get messy. DC is spiraling, Eric Swalwell fallout continues, and behind-the-scenes chaos is starting to surface in a big way. Add in media drama, political egos, and some truly bizarre behavior, and it’s one of those weeks. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik joins to talk about her new book “Poisoned Ivies,” what’s really happening on college campuses, and why more parents are rethinking where their kids go to school. Plus Yemisi Egbewole drops in with perspective on politics, young voters, and what’s actually happening on the ground. And yes, there’s still time for Quince shopping, reality TV chaos, and the kind of unfiltered conversation that makes this show what it is. A little chaotic. A little funny. Very real.
