Episode 12: The Rise and Fall of a Two-Party System

This week on Washed Up, we discuss the news from March 30, 2025, to April 6, including: IN A MAJOR SWITCH UP (and arguably the greatest trade deal in American history), Elon #Musk is reportedly leaving DOGE/the Trump administration, while Abby is moving to DC to be Washed Up in Washington. The #HandsOff protests nationwide, ongoing disunity in message among the #Democrats, plus possible rising (and falling) stars within the Democrat party: #AOC for 2028? Perhaps Jon Ossoff or Jake Auchincloss? The inanity of #Kamala Harris, who may run for California Governor, in case Newsom is planning a run for President. On our Bury the Lede segment: Abby on cellphone bans in schools and Colin on people using mental illness as a justification for bad behavior. Then, the irony of Trump’s “Liberation Day” #tariffs, which cause the stock market to #crashout. Could a looming recession have a silver lining? Celebrities like Chappell Roan trigger Abby’s distaste for selective political activism, and Colin’s dislike of entitlement.
