If you have ADHD and strong political opinions, you may want to think twice before hitting “post.”

In this episode, Chase explores what happens when the ADHD brain gets activated by politics—especially when emotions, outrage and hyperfocus take over. He talks about containment windows, writing it but not sending it, and why sometimes the smartest thing you can do is…do nothing.

And then things get really interesting.

Meet Senator Max Hyperton, a politician whose multi-track ADHD brain might be perfectly designed for Washington—or completely incapable of surviving it. With 52 arrests, a very unusual approach to taxes, foreign relations and intelligence briefings, Max may just be the most ADHD politician you've never heard of.
