They're back—exhausted, angry, and wrapping up Mother’s Day weekend with a fresh round of attacks on reproductive rights, kids’ safety, and reality itself.

Trump cut the Safe to Sleep campaign (because who needs SIDS prevention?) while pushing pro-natalist policies like a $5,000 baby bonus. Emily’s just waiting on her presidential push present.

In Iowa, a Catholic hospital claimed life begins at conception—until it meant paying for a stillbirth. RFK Jr. keeps spreading ableist, anti-vax garbage, so they handed the mic to a fourth grader with autism who knows more science than he ever will.

We also dig into abortion funding cuts in Washington, the gutting of public trust, and a new child labor protection bill (because yes, that's still a fight in 2025). Oh—and we have thoughts on the whole "parental rights" charade.

It’s all starting to feel like satire—but Emily and Samie are still here, deciding whether to laugh or cry.
