Tracey Ullman's State of the Union is a comedy series that takes a satirical look at current affairs and politics in the United States. In Season 1, Episode 5, Tracey continues her knack for impersonating a wide range of public figures and celebrities, from politicians to actors to everyday Americans.

Tracey hilariously captures Feinstein's awkwardness and tendency to ramble on, even when asked a simple question. Later, Tracey morphs into Ivanka Trump, poking fun at the First Daughter's privileged background and lack of political experience.

Tracey also takes on the issue of gun control, with a segment featuring a group of women called "Moms Against Stuff." The women comedically discuss their frustrations with the lack of progress on gun reform, and the absurdity of some arguments against stricter laws.

In another segment, Tracey becomes Pat, a middle-aged woman who has some hilarious and relatable complaints about everything from her husband to her job to her health. The character is a testament to Tracey's versatility as a performer, as she plays Pat with a combination of sadness and humor that is both endearing and funny.

The episode also includes a skit featuring Tracey as a struggling actress who has a meltdown during an audition for a Weinstein-produced film. The skit is both funny and poignant, as it highlights the industry's issue with sexual harassment and abuse of power.
