What is a lame duck and is Donald Trump one? Why is there so much infighting in the Republican party right now? Why did one conspiracy theorist, Marjorie Taylor Greene, leave Congress and why is another particularly racist conspiracy theorist, Nick Fuentes, being embraced? Is this the beginning of the end of MAGA? We discuss on WNW!

As the government shutdown, Donald Trump went to the supreme court to avoid paying for the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). What is SNAP? What do the 42 million Americans who receive SNAP benefits get? And, who qualifies and on what conditions? Why would anyone want to take that away? Find out on this week's WNW with Maya and Dad.

Maya and Dad went to the Boston No Kings Rally and so did... 150,000 others! (Our estimate on the show was WAY off!). On this show, we share our journey to the rally, our favorite signs and other observations and then the highlights of Maya's 32 interviews! (Don't worry - Maya only excerpted a few!)

This week, Secretary of Defense… or should we say Secretary of War (!) Pete Hegseth, called 800 Generals into Washington to lecture them…. Why? What was his message? Why was he talking about beardos and hefty generals? We did a podcast on this and still don’t know why he did this, but maybe you can figure this out… on this week’s WNW with Maya and Dad!

There is a portmanteau (word of the week!) out there that is on the verge of killing our democracy! And, on that note, welcome to season 3 of WNW with Maya and Dad. Today, we discuss the implications of Texas' redistricting, California's reaction and what this means for voters going forward! This episode is sponsored by waves and salamanders!

WNW is now on its summer hiatus. We quickly discuss the many headlines dominating the news today - the US/Israel joint effort to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, the administration forcing the national guard into CA, the mysterious potential outcomes of the big beautiful bill and more... Have a great summer!

It seems that huge stories quickly dominate the news cycle and quickly disappear - weeks ago it was a US takeover of Greenland or Canada; then it was JD Vance yelling at Vladimir Zelensky in the White House; then it was the signal scandal and recently the tariff wars have been quite real and dangerous and justifiably flooded out all other news. Still, there are many (many!) "smaller" stories that many are missing - FEMA being defunded, cancellation of visas for those from Afghanistan, South Sudan and Cameroon, a master crypto grift, intimidation of government workers, defunding of mental health service for students and so much more! Maya and dad cover three issues each, but know that this is just the tip of a rapidly melting iceberg because this government is cutting down national forests and bringing back coal!

Tariffs - all over the news! What are they? Who is paying them? How do people think they work and how do they actually work? What are the countries that are being "tariffed" doing about it? We answer these questions and more on this week's WNW! (Thank you to Charlotte and Matt for suggesting this topic!!!)
