Tomahawks, Tax Dollars, and Banning Books (Still)

Welcome back to another episode of Political Malpractice! This week, Sasha and Chris Barrett are running down a packed agenda, cutting through the political noise, and bringing some heavy-hitting analysis to the most pressing issues of the week.We kick things off by putting the Department of Defense’s exorbitant spending under the microscope—because while SNAP benefits get slashed for 16 million Americans, the Pentagon is apparently dropping millions on lobster tails, Herman Miller recliners, and a $98,000 piano. Sasha brings her veteran perspective to break down the sheer absurdity of the "Department of War's" budget, before pivoting to the looming energy crisis, the realities of inflation, and the domino effect on our daily lives.Then, we dive into the legislative weeds. We’re ripping apart the SAVE Act, examining how these proposed voter ID laws place an unconstitutional, undue burden on Americans—especially women who have changed their names and disabled voters who rely on mail-in ballots. Finally, Chris and Sasha tackle the controversial HR 7661 (Stop the Sexualization of Children Act), debating the fine line between parental constitutional rights, government overreach, and protecting the LGBTQ+ community in schools.Expect heated debates, sharp legal insights, and the unapologetic banter you’ve come to love.In This Episode:[00:00] Intro & The DoD’s ridiculous $50 billion shopping spree.[15:16] The Wall Street Journal's energy crisis warning & the reality of grocery inflation.[24:27] Breaking down the SAVE Act: Voter suppression, name changes, and mail-in ballots.[43:05] Political scandals: A North Dakota Senator's arrest and the Jan 6th pardons.[51:41] Dissecting the Iran/Iraq war rhetoric, Tomahawk missiles, and the demand for accountability.[1:08:48] HR 7661: A deep dive into the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act," book bans, and the government parenting your kids.Connect with Us:Sasha: @ThatLibLawStudent on all platformsChris Barrett: @midwesthomo77 on XDon't forget to keep your eyes peeled for our special midweek deep-dive episode dropping this Wednesday!
