The DGAF Summer Starts Now  
Podcast: Momarchy with Sarah & Tanya
Published On: Tue May 26 2026
Description: Turns out the president and every mom in America have something in common — they're both exhausted. The difference is only one of them gets to nap at work and still have a job.In this week's episode, Sarah and Tanya open with Mother's Day stories, sick kids, and gift wins before diving into the headlines. Trump was caught on camera asleep at the White House launch of moms.gov, a site they say is already broken and pushing dangerous misinformation, including links to pregnancy centers, while RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz call it a MAHA victory and warn America is "under-babied." They also cover Spencer Pratt's viral post-wildfire content, the disconnect between his sympathy campaign and his family's actual accommodations, and an update on the Alex Murdaugh case getting a new trial.With primaries approaching, they back Shannon Bird in Colorado's 8th over Manny Rutinel, break down California's wide-open governor's race, and raise concerns about Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed and his ties to Hasan Piker. The deeper conversation is the motherhood penalty and what research shows about how working mothers are paid, perceived, and left behind by policy, and why it keeps getting ignored. They close with a DGAF Summer segment on the pressures moms face this time of year, from magical summer expectations to screen time guilt to the cost of camp, plus a preview of upcoming guests.(0:00) Intro & Welcome Back(0:56) Mother's Day Recap(5:01) Spencer Pratt's LA Campaign(9:01) Murdoch Trials: Conviction Overturned(11:10) RFK Jr. Catches a Bird(12:17) Trump Falls Asleep at moms.gov(17:20) Primary Season: CO, CA & Michigan Races(25:19) The Motherhood Penalty(34:44) DGAF: Summertime Mom Edition(39:54) Upcoming Guests & OutroLearn more about:Tanya Nathan is a political campaign and communications strategist with over a decade of experience in progressive campaigns and advocacy.
