The Political Pour Up Podcast

After a much-needed end of summer break, the Political Pour Up is back to distill the headlines and filter the facts from the unnecessary BS being deployed to distract and divide. What we thought would be a pleasantly uneventful August, with Congress in recess, turned out to be prime time for the administration’s unprecedented militarization of American cities, with ground zero right in our nation’s capital. But fear not, as soon a...

If we took a shot every time some legal scholar said “they can’t do that, it’s illegal” in response to something this administration is actively doing, we’d all be pretty drunk right now. Is anyone else surprised that the party of LaW aNd OrDeR more accurately represents Organized Crime. And since we know a fish rots from the head down, we have about a snowball’s chance in hell that any of the president’s men or women will be stand...

“To Deflect and Swerve” should be the administration’s new motto as they use every distraction they can conjure up to get the world to stop talking asking for the Epstein files. However, despite their most valiant (i.e. nefarious) efforts, even some of the president’s most ardent supporters remain undeterred. And with House members opting for an early vacation to delay any semblance of accountability, it may be a while until those ...

Nothing says Happy 249th Birthday, America quite like kicking millions off their healthcare while giving tax breaks to billionaires. This week, Sue, Jas, and Jenn discuss the aftermath of the big ugly/stupid/bulls*t/betrayal bill and when we can expect to see its real impact. Spoiler alert, the most detrimental provisions go into effect exactly a month after the lawmakers who voted for it humbly ask their constituents to send them ...

What’s black, white and red all over?! The massive federal tax and spending bill currentlymoving through Congress after our track changes Xed out all of the things that would make billionaires wealthier and more powerful while the rest of us are left to get sicker and poorer. And while the Senate is attempting to ram the bill through to meet its self-imposed July 4th deadline, the administration is running a pump fake to divert Ame...

Hope you got your fan, and an ice cold beverage, as tensions across the country are reaching a boiling point. The administration has stopped at nothing to sow fear and chaos with its unconstitutional deportation efforts, and has made it clear that not even a sitting governor can stand in their way (What was that again about states rights?). But as peaceful protests rise up in defense of democracy, and just basic human rights, echoe...

Welcome BACK!!! Sue, Jas, and Jenn are together again and WHEW! Has it been 100 days or 100 years?! After catching up and pouring up they do their best to make sense of the 100+ day whirlwind that has been this new administration. From making it rain executive orders, to tariff TACO FAFO, to the federal workforce being gutted by "Didn't Earn It” tech bros, the only way to make sense of the chaos is to keep calm… and keep ...

In the wake of all the emotions flowing from the aftermath of the election results, Sue, Jas, and Jen begrudgingly gather to discuss what happened, and how to move forward from here. We're tired! And we know many of you are too. But we'll get through this. Because as our MVP says "When we fight, we win! Sometimes the fight takes a while, but that doesn't mean we won't win!"

Shout out to all ou...

It’s Election Day Eve, and the Pour Up Pundits are feeling all the feels! Cautious optimism. Anxious hysteria. Apocalyptic peril. It’s really a mixed bag of emotions over here. There was no shortage of news on this last week of the election, and Sue, Jas, and Jen try to recap the highlights. From more of the incoherent, racist, violent rants from one candidate, to more and more of your favorite superstar celebs endorsing the other....

On this episode Sue, Jas, and Jen get into Project 2025, the 900-page monstrosity spawned by the Heritage Foundation, packed with authoritarian advice, and nothing nice for those of us who don’t happen to be straight, Christian, white, male, billionaire. The only thing more terrifying than the actual proposals in Project 2025 are the creepy old white guys behind it who have been plotting to “make America great (read: white) again” ...

Whew Chile! This economy is certainly economying. It just seems like whether it’s the cost of housing, groceries, or a $5 foot long, the money is funny but these bills are forreal!

But at the end of the day, the day gone end. And we’ll all still exist under the confines of capitalism. But wouldn’t it just be nice if the richest among us paid their fair share of taxes. I mean, a girl can dream. 

On this episode, Sue, Jas, and Jen disc...

On this episode, Sue, Jas, and Jen recap the “awwws” and “aarghs” on the gram this week. From Democrats controlling the weather, to the hard lessons in finding out that result from f*cking around with election interference, and a heartfelt plea to leave misogyny at home when heading to the voting booth. 

They dive into the headlines that dominated the news cycle, including Hurricane Helene disinformation, more receipts from Jack Smi...
