Are you sick of burying your head in the sand about national and local political issues? Are you too overwhelmed to even think about consuming news due to the sheer quantity? We realized through conversations with people in all different settings, most have NO IDEA what's going on in our local government. We decided to do this podcast to cover the shenanigans that we think is especially important for our friends and family to know. We do say a few cuss words so we wouldn't recommend listening while your kids are in the car!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/while-we-still-can-7039479"},"episode":{"title":"The Iran Escalation: How Congress Traded War Powers for Silence feat.

While Congress continues its long-standing tradition of treating presidential war powers like a \"suggestion\" rather than a law—allowing the situation in Iran to boil over without so much as a signed permission slip—the USS Abraham Lincoln has quietly slipped away, leaving behind a vacuum of accountability and a heavy scent of suspicion.
