Pausing Democracy
What are these symptoms? Anxiety, flashes of anger, insomnia...is it peri-menopause or the fall of democracy?
Pausing Democracy
My Happy Place is Skinny Pop and White Lotus...

This week on Pausing Democracy 🍸, things are anything but normal. Jess gets mistaken for a senior citizen (apparently moisturizer isn’t working), Katie chokes on popcorn and pees her pants, and Rachel declares that her true happy place is Skinny Pop and binge-watching The White Lotus.
Meanwhile, in the world outside our snack bowls: the U.S. government is literally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela and killing alleged narcoterrorists, Jimmy Kimmel has been yanked off the air under federal pressure, and the media seems weirdly silent about Tyler Robinson and Charlie Kirk’s parents. Something doesn’t add up… and we’re here to call it out.
Grab your drink, laugh through the absurd, and join us as we try to process a democracy that feels like it’s circling the drain — with a little popcorn, a lot of sarcasm, and a promise not to take ourselves too seriously.
