#Todayin1776: The Lee Resolution for "Free and Independent States"

Overcaffeinated and underprepared™

A sharp, funny politics podcast for people who want the news without the freakout.

Overcaffeinated and underprepared™, moderately right and moderately reliable, we never take ourselves too seriously. But keep you informed on serious topics with no panic and no partisan loyalty tests. Just laughs, well-earned side-eye, and occasional libations.&nbsp;
