Introducing: Choice Words with Samantha Bee
We're excited to share with you a show we love, Choice Words with Samantha Bee. In this episode, Congressman Maxwell Frost joins Sam to talk about what it’s like to be the first member of Gen Z in Congress, and why it’s so important for Democrats to choose to see themselves as the opposition party, not the minority party. They talk about how to make decisions that impact millions of people and why the Kennedy Center coup was more significant than people think, and that he has been reading a lot about Elon Musk because it’s important to know your enemies. Sam learns that Congressman Frost is a “no notifications guy,” that he subscribes to even more newsletters than she does, and that the phone calls to Congress are actually working.

Primary Everyone
In our ongoing whiteboard series, we are having conversations about where we are getting it wrong in American politics - specifically Democratic politics - and dreaming of a better way for the future. Tyler Austin Harper is a perfect guest for a conversation like that. On today’s show, Sarah and Beth sit down with the writer to examine the strategic errors Democrats are making both in the political arena and higher education spaces. Together, they challenge some of what has become conventional wisdom and alienated formerly key Democratic voting blocs, explore some pragmatic alternatives, and ask what it will take to recalibrate a Democratic approach and build broader coalitions.

Is Elon Building or Destroying?
Destruction can be part of the building process; it certainly is a key part of Elon Musk’s approach to business and his new - legally ambiguous - role with DOGE. There is, however, a fine line between disruption and destruction. The tech mantra of “move fast and break things” can be dangerous, particularly when applied to the government. On today’s show, Sarah and Beth explore this idea and how the new Trump administration is letting Musk run full steam ahead. Plus, they discuss the Trump administration’s approach to foreign policy, most notably marked this week by Ukraine’s exclusion from the negotiating table with Russia. Outside of politics, Beth shares her new hack for managing her online shopping. Topics Discussed Ukraine Excluded from Negotiations Is Elon Musk Building or Destroying Through DOGE?

Now What? Fractured Communities
This year, our summer series centers around our new book, Now What?: How to Move Forward When We're Divided (About Basically Everything) . We brought together groups of listeners who were on our book launch team to discuss how they’ve seen political conflict play out in their own lives. Over these episodes, we’ll share these conversations with you, along with some thoughts and strategies for how to navigate division in many different types of relationship. In this final episode, we’re discussing workplaces and geographic communities. We may expect some conflict in these spaces, particularly if we live or work in diverse areas.

Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day. In recognition, we are breaking down the history of the holiday and sharing our thoughts on how it is and perhaps should be recognized. The popular origin story of International Women's Day is more myth than fact. The real history of International Women's Day is that it began as a socialist holiday! International Women's Day helped spark the Russian Revolution! In the 1960s, second wave feminists adopted the day as their own. The 2022 theme is #BreaktheBias.

5 Things You Need to Know About Inflation
Inflation has been poking its way into our lives lately - on the political scene and as we swipe our credit cards in the check-out line. We’re breaking down the basics you need to know about inflation and how it works. Inflation is about a loss of money's purchasing power. Inflation is hard to measure. Our cost of living is rising; experts disagree about whether this is a long-term inflation problem. Central banks are entering the chat; we will probably see higher interest rates. Monetary policy is not science or magic. Sign up for our weekly newsletter to ensure you don’t miss anything going on in the Pantsuit Politics world.

5 Things You Need to Know About MLK Day
We're breaking down what you need to know about the history of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and how it became a holiday in the first place. Spoiler: it wasn't an easy road. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday is January 15th but the holiday is marked on the third Monday of every month. The effort to make his birthday a national holiday took over three decades and an enormous amount of effort. Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday is about Martin Luther King, Jr! The law passed in 1983 and signed by Reagan. The first federal holiday was in 1986. The journey to all 50 states adopting the holiday took much longer.

Infrastructure in Real Life: Electricity
When the power goes out, it's like a record scratching and pushing our normal lives into a weird pause. For most of us, we take for granted the predictability and reliability of our power supply. We count on the infrastructure that brings us energy, but that system needs attention. On this, the second episode of our Infrastructure In Real Life series, we're talking about energy, climate, jobs, and the politics of how these things intersect. We're sharing more insight from our Brookings Institute friends and can't wait to hear what you think, too. Click here for our Premium content on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

Five Things You Need to Know About Medicare for All
What You Need to Know About Medicare for All: Medicare: minus the "All" (02:19) Medicare is popular because it touches so many Americans. (09:09) Currently, 44 million beneficiaries—some 15 percent of the U.S. population—are enrolled in the Medicare program. Enrollment is expected to rise to 79 million by 2030. Only one in 10 beneficiaries relies solely on the Medicare program for health care coverage. Medicare for All is not really Medicare and it's not one thing. (14:10) The cost of these plans is very, very high. (17:24) The Taiwanese health care system is the closest equivalent which is why you hear so much about it.

Thanks to everyone who voted; we know abortion is a tough topic, so it speaks well of our community that you all were and continue to be so ready to engage with it. Five Things to Know About Abortion Law: Abortion has a long emotional history in the US that Roe vs. Wade didn't stop. Ohio, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Georgia have passed "heart beat bills". Heartbeat bills and outright bans on abortion in all circumstances are surging in popularity, despite the fact that public opinion is largely more nuanced about abortion. Stare decisions recently took a hit on the Supreme Court. Kentucky's law has already been struck down in court. Mississippi and Ohio's are already being challenged. Georgia and Alabama laws are also expected to be challenged. Sponsors: TomBoyX Warby Parker Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do what we do without you.

As private union membership began to decrease, public service unions began to grow. (17:57) 4. We are also seeing the rise of organized action beyond the public sector as well. (20:04) 5.

5 Things You Need to Know About Abortion Law
This week kicked off our annual Patreon drive! Visit our Patreon page to become part of the incredible community that supports our work and get access to exciting bonus content and perks. Today, we're sharing five things you need to know about abortion law in advance of a deeper conversation about recent events on Tuesday's episode. Abortion has a long emotional history in the US that Roe vs. Wade didn't stop. Ohio, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Georgia have passed "heart beat bills". Heartbeat bills and outright bans on abortion in all circumstances are surging in popularity, despite the fact that public opinion is largely more nuanced about abortion. Stare decisions recently took a hit on the Supreme Court. Kentucky's law has already been struck down in court. Mississippi and Ohio's are already being challenged. Georgia and Alabama laws are also expected to be challenged.

We'll be talking more about this issue on Tuesday's episode. Today, though, we're getting you ready for that conversation by sharing five things you need to know about criminal justice reform. The cost of the criminal justice system can begin before a person is every convicted of a crime. The Bail Project How the bail system in the US became such a mess — and how it can be fixed Bail reform, which could save millions of unconvicted people from jail, explained The Economics of Bail and Pretrial Detention Once you're in the court system, the process is difficult and representation is hard to come by. Plead guilty, go home. Plead not guilty, stay in jail. The Trial Penalty: The Sixth Amendment Right To Trial on the Verge of Extinction and How To Save It Overworked and Underpaid: America's Public Defended Crisis If you plea or are convicted, sentencing is another layer of inequity. The First Step Act, explained Trump administration looks to Texas as it pushes a criminal justice reform bill A prison sentence is often just the beginning of the punishment which can continue far beyond the prison walls.

Foreign Policy Fiascos and Carri Hicks for State Senate
The odd grammatical clarifications President Trump and the White House keep offering are dominating headlines, but the policy and actions behind them are far more concerning.

Carri Hicks for State Senate Donate to Carri To support the show and get access to regular bonus content, including the bonus episode for July, visit our Patreon page . More from Carri Hicks: Why we need education funding: Last year Oklahoma approved over 2,000 emergency certifications to fill teaching jobs. This has been done in an attempt to keep schools open as we are in dire need of teachers. However, it gives the false impression that everything is fine in education because school is in session. Clearly there is a large problem when 50,000 children were educated by someone other than a certified teacher last year. The number is expected to rise again this year. Why she decided now was the time to run: After the defeat of the penny cent sales tax, I took many personal days to advocate on behalf of my students at the capital. I met with Senator Mark Allen who is on the education committee (and will be on the ballot in Nov.). As I introduced myself and explained how many students I had in my classes at the time, 28, he called me a liar. He further went on to explain that they knew the average class size in Oklahoma is 16, so that I was clearly not being truthful. I have taught for 7 years and have never had less than 23 students. This interaction led me to believe not only were lawmakers misinformed about the needs in public schools, but were unwilling to hear what they were. Since these are the decision makers affecting my profession and millions of innocent children, I knew now was the time to give teachers, and education a loud voice inside our state government.

The Trump Administration's Zero Tolerance Policy on Immigration, the Devastation in Puerto Rico Following Hurricane Maria, and the Volcker Rule
We talk about the social media outrage machine in the wake of stories that families are being separated at the border, ICE has abused its power, and the Office of Refugee Resettlement has been unable to verify the status of children placed with sponsor families.

The stock market and the economy with Heidi Moore.
It’s hard to keep up with the memos, interviews, and leaks coming out of Washington DC so we take a painstaking look at what we do and don’t know about the memo and the Mueller investigation Thanks to our sponsor: Martha Stewart Wine and TomboyX Underwear We discuss the resignation of Rob Porter and the President's wholly unacceptable response to the accusations of domestic violence against Porter.

Race, Gender, the Military, Religion, Partisanship, and Rockets
The United States continues to grapple with cultural tension over race, the military, and religion. We talk about the latest news around these topics and listener feedback in today’s episode. The death of Black Lives Matter activist Muhiyidin d’Baha and the vandalism of a Confederate monument in Louisville, Kentucky , have us thinking about continued racial tensions in the United States. At the same, a message from our listener, Karen, and Sarah's experience passing a Fairness Ordinance in her city have us thinking about tension around Christianity. That tension is not helped by an evangelical minister who made headlines this week by claiming that Christians don't get the flu. The President has expressed interest in a military parade . Sarah has a great solution to dealing with this. We shared feedback from Michelle regarding #HearHerHarvard and the culture on Harvard's campus. We also discuss Melissa's message sharing her desire for a more balanced conversation -- one of many messages questioning Beth's political perspective.

We discuss Uma's #metoo moment and why the coverage became the story . To compliment individuals who aren't members of our respective parties, Sarah praises recently retiring and suddenly refreshingly honest Representative Trey Gowdyl . Beth compliments Senator Chris Coons on his work on a bipartisan immigration bill. For our main segment, we start with a mini-primer on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ("FISA"), which was enacted in 1978 to protect Americans’ privacy in the midst of counter-terrorism efforts. A law enforcement training white paper helped us significantly in understanding key provisions of FISA. FISA was enacted to limit the presidents' power and to create a judicially-manageable standard for issuing warrants in national security investigations. The key provisions of FISA were: Non-criminal electronic surveillance can only occur for the purpose of collecting foreign intelligence and foreign counterintelligence Foreign powers and agents of foreign powers could be targeted for electronic surveillance (foreign powers and agents of foreign powers are defined in the statute—explicitly says “non US persons” — US persons are citizens, legal permanent residents, US corporations, unincorporated associates with a substantial number of members who are citizens or lawful permanent residents) The government needs probable cause to conduct surveillance (and set a probable cause standar

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Moral Authority
John Adams said that “because power corrupts, society’s demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.” Every headline in the past week has us thinking about abuse of power and the moral authority required to stand up to that abuse. In this week's show, we discuss the growing violence in Afghanistan and the terrible attacks in Kabul . We also ponder the motivations behind President Trump's solar tariffs . In our #metoo moment, we talk about the #HearHerHarvard movement at Harvard University and the criticism of Judge Aquilina and her decisions involving the Nassar trial. We also discuss the economic motivations behind the recent Russian protests and why economics always becomes our central concern. To compliment individuals who aren't members of our respective parties, Sarah praises Representative Will Hurd and his bipartisan immigration bill . Beth shares the encouraging reactions of several Arizona state legislators in the face of ugly immigration protests . For our main segment, we discuss the moral authority and the arguments surrounding the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

Gun Violence and Activism (with Special Guest Dr. Dana Fisher)

We’re thinking about activism to prevent these tragedies and talking about activism through protests with Dr. Dana Fisher. The Courier Journal describes the shooting at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky, in excruciating detail. We discuss how we think we can break the logjam on action to do better at preventing future gun violence. We talk with Dr. Dana Fisher about the Women's Marches and the Resistance movement in the context of sociological activism data.

Negotiating with Jello: What to Make of the Government Shutdown and the Next Stage of Immigration Talks
How does one negotiate with jello? We talk negotiations, compromise, and the government shutdown on today’s episode. We begin with our #metoo moment, discussing the sentencing hearing for Larry Nassar, the former physician for the U.S. Olympian gymnastics team. Judge Rosemarie Aquilina has admirably allowed survivors to speak during the hearing, and survivors like Aly Raisman have used their time to powerfully indict everyone who has been complicit in Nassar's abuse . Next, we talk about the talks between South Korean President Moon and Kim Jong Un regarding the Olympics. We don't know what the President's actual strategy is , but we're hoping for a productive and peaceful path forward in light of apparent cooperation around Pyeongchang. To compliment individuals who aren't members of our respective parties, Beth celebrates the achievements of Oregon governor Kate Brown . Sarah appreciates Senator Lindsay Graham's efforts on immigration. For our main segment, we discuss the government shutdown -- how and why it happened , the costs involved , what we can expect next, and how we can productively move forward. We end with a discussion of books and movies (which should you do first?) and Beth's favorite romantic comedies -- one of which was made better by learning that Jack Nicholson sent a check to his co-star Diane Keaton, who was underpaid.

The Budget, DACA, and Listener Feedback on Aziz Ansari and Grace
The President of the United States, through his party's website, actually gave out Fake News Awards this week. There is an epidemic of pettiness in our politics. Let's discuss. We discuss Congress's inability to pass a budget and inability to do a "deal" that the President will sign on DACA . We also talk about the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that devoted a sad amount of time to whether the President actually said the word "shithole." It's difficult to know what's happening in the Mueller investigation, but we do know that Steve Bannon has agreed to be interviewed. Finally, we discuss the State of the Commonwealth given by Governor Matt Bevin in our home, Kentucky. We then share listener feedback and continue the conversation regarding Aziz Ansari and Grace. There are too many think pieces and opinions to link because this issue has touched such a nerve--and that's exactly why we think it's so important. Hosted on Acast.

Medicaid in Kentucky, Aziz Ansari, and Immigration Policy
The news this week has been explicit — both in language and in what that language reveals. We’re discussing the President’s comments on immigration and the US’s role in the world. Our home state of Kentucky has been granted a waiver to add work requirements to Medicaid. We discuss the facts of the new program and our thoughts on what it does and doesn't accomplish. A babe.net piece about "Grace's" date with Aziz Ansari has fueled controversy over the past three days. (Please note that the linked content is explicit). We discuss where #metoo stands and what lessons we can learn from the Ansari allegations. To compliment the other side, Sarah compliments Representative Mia Love for her statements on President Trump's "shithole" comments. Beth compliments Senator Dick Durbin for trying to stay focused on DACA. We discuss President Trump's widely-publicized comments and general attitude regarding immigration. We talk about what drives our immigration policies, the data on the importance of immigration in the United States , and our national values.

#Oprah2020, DACA, and a Report from the Paducah City Commission
The Briefcase is our shorter episode each week when we catch up on news and often share listener feedback. Today, we're covering a local fairness ordinance, the Oprah 2020 frenzy, and the public DACA meeting President Trump convened. In our first block, Sarah emotionally describes the difficulty inherent in holding public meetings to pass a fairness ordinance in the city of Paducah, KY. Paducah is Kentucky's 9th city to pass protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. In this segment, Beth mentions the work of Equality Ohio to support state-wide fairness legislation in Ohio. We then turn to the frenzied discussion of Oprah's presidential prospects -- which we believe misses the point of her speech entirely. In this discussion, we reference Susan Faludi's piece, The Patriachs Are Falling. The Patriarchy is Stronger Than Ever , and a conversation on Twitter resulting from listener M.E. sharing an article about soft skills in the tech industry . Unfortunately, we are unable to locate any nuance for the gentleman who is suing Google for discrimination . Finally, we break down the p ublic negotiation President Trump convened on DACA -- we cover the good, the bad, and the ugly. We also give a brief overview of earmarks , since that seems to be on the President's mind. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Net Neutrality and #MeToo: Reckonings and Reflections
The tsunami of sexual harassment and assault allegations continues and is causing cultural and political reflection. Today we continue our ongoing discussion of politics, partisanship, and the #metoo movement. Thank you for everyone supporting our work on Patreon . We also appreciate our sponsors for today's podcast: Credible.com , Away , and ThirdLove . We hope you'll check out our new podcast, The Nuanced Life. Congress has a very long to-do list through the end of the year. It's important to keep in mind that in addition to plans for tax cuts, Congress needs to fund the government before year-end and deal with DACA. The attack on a mosque in the Sinai peninsula this weekend was the deadliest in modern Egypt's history . This region is under assault from ISIS and highlights the complexity of the war on terror and the deficiencies in our understanding of Islam and Africa.

The opioid epidemic impacts all of us in increasingly significant ways. Today, we’re discussing the impact of President Trump’s decision to declare this a public health emergency. It's Thanksgiving, and we're so grateful to everyone who makes Pantsuit Politics possible. We couldn't do the podcast without the support of our patrons , our advertising agency, and our sponsors. Thanks to today's sponsors: BeFrugal.com and ModCloth . If you're interested in advertising on Pantsuit Politics, please reach out to Midroll .

If you'd like Pantsuit Politics to speak at your university, business, or organization, please let Beth know. We begin with an update on Republican efforts to cut some people's and companies' taxes. Some of the provisions in the Senate bill are truly mind-boggling . Next, we discuss the recent military coup in Zimbabwe. We talk about Robert Mugabe's rise to power , the World Health Organization's decision to revoke his appointment as a global health ambassador , the events leading up to the coup --including <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/17/africa/china-zimbabwe-mugabe-diplomacy/index.html" rel="noopener noreferre

Roy Moore, Doug Jones, Tax Cuts, Al Franken, and George H.W. Bush
Somehow, we’re still debating the Alabama senate race to fill Jeff Sessions’s seat. We’re here with additional thoughts on Doug Jones, Roy Moore, and tax cuts, plus a later-recorded segment on Al Franken and George Bush...because 2017. Thanks so much to everyone supporting our work on Patreon . If you'd like to bring some nuance to your neighborhood in 2018, please reach out to beth@pantsuitpoliticsshow.com . We also appreciate ModCloth's sponsorship of today's podcast. Please stick around for the post-roll and help us by completing this quick survey . We begin by talking about Doug Jones, Roy Moore's Democratic opponent. We share what we know about his background and policy positions. Although we hate the circumstances, we're encouraged by a bicameral, bipartisan effort to reform the process of dealing with sexual harassment in Congress. More transparency and accountability are clearly needed. Republicans continue to try to find ways to keep their tax cuts within the $1.5 trillion reconciliation box . Although there are some good things in this bill, we think the plan is mostly absurd and that tax policy and healthcare policy should be set through regular order. We discuss feedback on tax policy from listeners Peggy and Lou. After we recorded, we learned about the Al Franken and George H.W. Bush sexual harassment stories. We recorded an extra block to provide our thoughts. Hosted on Acast. See <a s

Roy Moore, Trump's Asia Trip, and Tax Cuts
You know things have gone terribly wrong when we're having a national conversation about whether a 14-year-old girl consented to a relationship with a man in his thirties. We discuss the responses to Roy Moore, the President's presence in Asia, and the process and substance of the Republican tax cut plan. Thanks so much to everyone supporting our work on Patreon and to today's sponsors: ModCloth , The Flex Company , and VirtueLabs . We are scheduling speaking events for 2018. Please email Beth for more information. We take a minute to extend our thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted by the terrible earthquake in Iran and Iraq . The Washington Post story on Roy Moore has prompted some truly outrageous reactions . We try to unpack the partisanship and tribalism at the root of these reactions as well as what all of this says about voters' shifting standards of conduct for political figures and communities of faith. Beth wishes we could take a look at Roy Moore's conduct on its own instead of trying to connect it to our personal political perspectives. Sarah shares her perspective on stories that Sutherland Springs, Texas, is relying on faith to help cope with the devastating mass shooting that killed so many loved ones in the community.

Primer: The Constitution and Appropriations
We kick off a series on the U.S. Constitution by talking about the structure of Articles I-VI. This is a very basic review that reminds us of the intricate balance between state and federal responsibilities the framers envisioned.

Sutherland Springs, Wilbur Ross, and What Kind of Country We Want to Have
The weekend's headlines painted an incredibly depressing picture. In the wake of these events, we're realizing that America needs a serious conversation about what kind of country we want to be. Thanks so much to our listeners who support us via Patreon . And thanks to today's sponsors: Crane & Canopy , ThirdLove , The Flex Company , and ModCloth . We discuss the horrific shooting in a Sutherland Springs, Texas , church and ask how we can move past talking points on gun violence. Do we want to live in a country where church-goers carry weapons ? Do we want to feel safe at concerts and in public venues? When we say this about "mental health," what do we mean? We also discuss reporting about Wilbur Ross's financial ties to Russia. Finally, we talk about what's on our minds outside of politics.

The JCPOA (Iran Agreement), Mayim Bialik on Feminism and Weinstein, and Nuanced Relationships
On Capitol Hill, it feels like the gap between parties is increasingly wide. But across America, Republicans and Democrats build lives, homes, and families together every day. Today, we’re talking about how houses don’t have to be divided when you’re in a nuanced relationship. Thanks so much to the sponsors of today's episode: Crane & Canopy , ThirdLove , and ModCloth . We begin with a discussion on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the "JCPOA") and President Trump's unwillingness to certify that this agreement on Iran continues to be in America's best interests. We talk about Congress's options in light of Trump's decision. As we continue to learn more from Harvey Weinstein's victims, we discuss Mayim Bialik's controversial New York Times editorial on being a feminist in Hollywood. To compliment the other side, Sarah praises Secretary Mattis for his mature and measured service in the Trump administration. Without knowing his politics, Beth compliments Cameron Gordon , a former NFL player in training to be a police officer. Many listeners responded to our call, started by Chelsea's email, to discuss being in relationships with people from the other side of the aisle.

Harvey Weinstein, Masculinity & Mass Shootings, and Facebook, Trump, and the Attention Economy
Russian agents bought Facebook ads targeted to voters in crucial swing states in last years elections, and the implications of the attention economy on our democracy go far beyond 2016. We focus on Facebook, Twitter, and the devices we use to distract ourselves from discomfort. Thanks so much to the sponsors for this episode: Baublebar , ModCloth , and Virtue Labs. We start today's podcast discussing an article on why mass shootings tend to be committed by men . We also talk about the Harvey Weinstein story and the bizarrely partisan reactions to that story. We note that the transactional nature of masculine energy seems to be taking shape in the spat that Donald Trump is having with Senator Bob Corker . To compliment the other party, Sarah commends Senator Dean Heller and other Republicans who have urged ATF to review standards on the sale of bump stocks . Beth compliments Senator Dianne Feinstein for her long-term service and work on gun safety measures.

The preliminary reports out of Las Vegas have confirmed that the shooting near Mandalay Bay is the worst mass shooting in American history. Since information is developing, we focus on our reactions to tragedy, the conversations in our country around gun violence and gun control (and this episode of Vox's The Weeds ), and how we interpret comments about "evil acts" and "thoughts and prayers." We also react to President Trump's statements , actions, and tweets regarding the absolute horror unfolding in Puerto Rico. As a continuation of our conversation about consumerism in American politics, we share Sarah's interview with Joshua Davis, author of From Head Shops to Whole Foods.

America’s favorite sport has become the latest arena for partisan politics. We discuss the President’s statements on the NFL and the relationship between race, politics, and patriotism. We also talk about North Korean policy continuing to play out via Twitter and the incredible suffering Puerto Rico. We end the show with what's on our minds outside of politics--including Sarah's home purchase and an article on accidental killings that touched Beth. Thanks so much to our sponsors for today's episode: ThirdLove and ModCloth . North Korea has started referring to President Trump as "Mr. Evil President." Its foreign minister says that sending missiles to the US mainland is " inevitable, " and the President tweeted that North Korea might not exist much longer if it continues this kind of rhetoric. Side note: we're grateful for professionals continuing to support this administration's foreign policy apparatus and concerned that they might exit around the one-year mark . We wish we had the right words to express the angst we feel for our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico. Days after Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria destroyed 90% of Puerto Rican's homes, took down power lines and internet, and created floodwaters ten feet high.

We talk about the speech President Trump made to the UN , in which he promised to totally destroy North Korea if necessary and talked tough about Venezuela and US sovereignty. We discuss the contradictory mix of intervention and isolation the President promised as well as the tendency on the part of Americans to forget what we "get" in exchange for our global involvement. Next, we discuss the Graham-Cassidy bill and the inexplicable inability of legislators to make a policy case for it.

The Briefcase: A Tale of Two Trump Speeches
This week, we heard from the President about his strategy in Afghanistan . Sarah was impressed that according to several reports the President spoke with soldiers before making decision and Beth reflects that most of her reaction was due to her lack of trust in Trump. We also discuss The Daily's reporting on the long-term strategy in Afghanistan with regard to Pakistan in particular. Then, we watched him give a 77-minute speech during a campaign rally in Phoenix and talk about Ben Carson's presence and his continued attacks on the media. We also struggle with people continuing to support Trump. We reflect on our reactions to these two speeches. We also discuss presidential pardons and this great Twitter thread on the subject (also don't miss the moment where Sarah confuses Chelsea Handler for Chelsea Manning!).

Plus, we discuss Leah's feedback on our antitrust episode: On antitrust, your discussion of the very grey area was so important. I'm a policy lawyer in the agricultural industry, and consolidation and mergers are a huge topic for our industry like most. Obviously, there are concerns about putting market share into less and less companies, and I share those concerns. At the same time, the costs, for example, of bringing new seed or a new drug to market are prohibitive and possibly insurmountable for any new/small company to actually hurdle. So, along with this discussion of what the corporations are doing to limit market access, is a question of, has the government through regulation or other means also (unintentionally) encouraged that consolidation and lack of market access? I'm totally in support of reasonable regulation and I see the need for a lot of the reviews/permits/etc that have to be done for many of these companies that create high tech solutions like seeds, pharmaceuticals/etc. At the same time, if those requirements are making it impossible for new innovation to be explored (and if that new innovation is not going to be properly funded through public research-but that's another issue) than aren't we (collectively as the govt/people demanding this) at least contributing to the issue of the consolidation? We also appreciate our listener Sarah explaining that paper was indeed invented by a person at a specific time: Sarah, you made an off-hand comment in the latest episode about how no one really invented paper, and societies all simultaneously invented it.

The Briefcase: Lightning Round
With Sarah in New Orleans and Beth in D.C., the sound in this episode isn't ideal, but we hope the substance is worth it.

Rehashing the Clinton Campaign
Today, we discuss the post-mortem looks at the Clinton campaign, along with Trump's first hundred days in office, the French election, and the looming deadline for funding the government. The Pearls We're close to the end of the first hundred days of the Trump presidency, and it's becoming clear that President Trump has accomplished some, but certainly not all of the items on his Contract with the American Voter . While the 100 day marker is relatively artificial, it has become a flashpoint in journalism and analysis, and we think there's some merit to starting strong. The French voted over the weekend, with moderate Emmanuel Macron and nationalist Marine Le Pen emerging as the top two candidates . They'll face off in June. Le Pen is widely seen as an extremist, and most French politicians are quickly lining up to support Macron . Congress has until April 28 to pass a continuing resolution for funding the government. The Trump administration has made funding contentious by taking a hard line on its priorities. The administration is sharply focused on funding a border wall and increasing military spending. Sarah extended her compliment for the other party this week to Representative Jamie Comer (and then added kudos for Joni Ernst following remarks critical of President Trump for spending so much time away from the White House). Beth complimented Dick Durbin for his <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/democrats-pro-life_us_58fcd709e4b06b9cb917a7ee"

He is intrinsically different and always was because while the people he was talking about had the fuck it mentality, he didn't. he wanted out and knew it. he used the military as many often do to pull himself out. something that any of the others could do but dont because theyve already given up. like the bird that doesnt leave the cage when the doors open. He cant understand his own people and maybe thats why he comes off as judgy, because hes trying to tell a story from a mold he doesnt fit. My degree is in Psych, I have a deep rooted desire to understand why people think the way they do. I expected him to be a first hand source to aid in that understanding, but hes not. He is the outsider looking in at his own people because of that intrinsic difference between his drive and their lack of it, which means even he doesnt understand why they do and think the way they do.

The Briefcase: Focus on Foreign Policy
Sarah returns to Pantsuit Politics on Tuesday's episode. For today's Briefcase, we have a special episode focused primarily on foreign policy. We're delighted to have Kerry Boyd Anderson on the podcast. Kerry is a political risk consultant with more than 14 years experience as a professional analyst of international security issues and Middle East political and business risks. She started her own company a year ago and is also a contributor to Gulf News in Dubai . She was previously a Deputy Director for Advisory services with Oxford Analytica. Kerry joins Beth for a discussion of the humanitarian, military, and political crisis unfolding in Syria. Then Dante , our Chief Creative Officer, takes a spin in Sarah's chair to discuss the news of the week and listener feedback. Beth and Dante talk about President Trump's comments throughout the week, Ambassador Nikki Haley's comments at the United Nations, and the White House's potentially shifting position on Syria. We then discuss North Korea's test missiles and Rex Tillerson's strange response. Finally, we turn to the confirmation hearings for Judge Neil Gorsuch and discuss the Democratic and Republican positions with respect to the Supreme Court. We received great feedback this week and will save most of it for next week, but we had to address Sandy's question: I have yet to have an experience with regulations that was not literally "job creating" for me and/or rigor/responsibility-instigating.

The Briefcase: Ivanka's new role and Pence's marriage
Before we got started, we thanked everyone for their patience as our feed repopulated. The good news is you can now go all the way back to our premiere episode in the feed! We talked about Ivanka's new role as special assistant to the president. We also discussed the Washington Post's profile of Karen Pence and the controversy over several observations about the Vice President's marriage. We praised the Senate Intelligence Committee for being the adults in the room. We discussed feedback from Brynn on the need to empathize with everyone. "So I’m finding myself constantly caught in this catch 22 where I want to emphasize with Trump supporters who feel betrayed, while at the same time fighting back the urge to just SCREAM “we told you so!”" Allison wrote in and wondered "if Ryan and the Republicans, instead of trying to appease the non-compromising Freedom Caucus, could try to reach out and work with moderate Democrats to draft and pass the bill?" Also we shared a NY Times article "A Great New Accidental Renaissance" ( link ) from Megan and this fantastic quote. "It’s early, but we may be experiencing a great awakening for the humane values that are under siege by a dark-side presidency. People are going inward, to find something bigger than Trump, and outward, to limit the damage he inflicts on the country." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

FISA, Flynn, and Failure
We're talking about the FISA process, Retired General Michael Flynn, and the failure of the American Health Care Act. The Pearls We comfort ourselves about our miserable election predictions by noting that we predicted that the American Health Care Act would not make it through the House of Representatives. And it didn't. Big winners: the American people for not being subjected to a half-baked, not-really-about-health-care-health-care-bill. Big losers: Paul Ryan , Donald Trump , Republicans generally . Sadly, we have two incidents of violence to acknowledge. A British man, Khalid Masood, rammed his vehicle into a crowd at Westminster Bridge in London after stabbing a police officer. His connections to Saudi Arabia have police still investigating his possible motives. On Sunday morning, a dispute escalated into a shooting in a Cincinnati, Ohio , night club, leaving one person dead and 15 injured. Our prayers are with everyone impacted in London and Cincinnati. For our compliments to the other party, Sarah tipped her hat to the Freedom Caucus for standing their ground in opposition to the AHCA. Beth complimented the Democratic lawmakers behind the Making Access Records Available to Lead American Government Openness Act (the MAR-A-LAGO Act) , which would require the White House to publish its visitor logs and mandate the release of visitor logs when the President conducts business...elsewhere.

The Briefcase: A report from the ground
We began by encouraging everyone to share the #trypod hashtag. The idea is to introduce someone who doesn’t listen to podcasts to the medium. Show them how to do it and obviously subscribe them to Pantsuit Politics! We began by discussing FBI Director James Comey's testimony before Congress confirming that the FBI is investigation whether or not President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the election. We also discussed the AP's revelation that Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign manager, was paid millions by a Putin ally . Karen on Twitter had a great read of the situation: Illegality all around T. He was likely influenced by ppl with specific agendas tailored to appeal to his world view and vanity and so he is influenced. Also think he probably willfully "ignorant" of crimes around him but I bet we will never be able to pin any intentional criminal activity on him. We then shared Beth's interview with Katherine Gypson , reporter for Voice of America, who was in the room for both Comey's testimony and Representative Devin Nunnes's press conference. We discussed Judge Gorsuch's confirmation hearings and growing concerns about his views on torture and statements about women at law firms. We also discussed the Democratic party's plans to filibuster his confirmation. We moved on to talk about two abortion laws that recently passed in Texas and several pieces of feedback we've gotten related to abortion. We talked about the proposed Reins Act and whether or not the Congress really needs approval over so much regulation. We wrapped up with feedback from Shannon on the difference between how we discuss terrorism when the terrorist is white. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our Empathy Deficit
In the Pearls, we discussed President Trump's proposed budget. The big winners under this budget were the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as Veteran's Affairs. The biggest loser was the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as nineteen other agencies that Trump proposed elimination. Beth argued that this budget shows diplomacy is not a priority for President Trump as it also includes cuts to the State Department and reductions in foreign aid. Inexplicably, healthcare companies such as drug makers and device makers will pay more than twice as much in 2018 to have their medical products reviewed for approval by the Food and Drug Administration under the proposed budget. The proposal budgets over $2 billion in fees to be collected from industry, twice as much in 2017. This doesn't seem to fit the increasingly loud narrative of reducing health care costs. We then moved on to compliment the other side. Sarah had big praise two Texas Congressmen who hit the road for a bipartisan road trip. Beth praised Representative Rodney Moore for his eloquent advocacy for charter schools. In the Suit, we discussed the fiery response on social media to Sarah's photo of a local church bulletin board featuring the viral photo of Omran Daqneesh, a 5-year-old Syrian child. The caption seems to imply all the little boy needs is Christianity in his life and this position left many of you angry and seemed to reflect a growing disenchantment with religion itself. We discussed our own frustrations and history with organized religion and what those ideas can (and cannot) mean when it comes to politics. Do Americans suffer from an empathy deficit? What does it mean to be empathetic? Sarah had high praise for Krista Tippet's expanded audio edition of Becoming Wise , which addresses the interplay between spirituality, religion, and politics incredibly well. Beth discussed a wonderful Washington Post article that illustrated t

The Briefcase: Someone Else's Babies
This week, Americans are squarely confronting the rights and responsibilities of our government, our citizens, and our fellow humans. With the travel ban, news from the intelligence community, and the AHCA, we’re asking what we exactly we do and do not owe to someone else’s babies. The Travel Ban A federal district judge in Hawaii enjoined enforcement of President Trump's revised executive order on immigration. We recap the decision : The plaintiffs were seeking a nationwide temporary restraining order. They had to establish Standing (similar to state of Washington in 9th Circuit decision + tourism; the Court also held that an individual plaintiff had standing to challenge the order) Strong likelihood of success on the merits of the Establishment Clause claims The Court extensively quoted statements from then-candidate Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Stephen Miller regarding the intention of the executive order. "The Government has established a disfavored religion." The Court also found that the executive order does not achieve its stated national security objectives because citizenship, according to the DHS, is an "unlikely indicator" of terrorism threats. Under the Lemon test , the Court held that the government could not show that the order has a primarily secular purpose. The Court also rejected the Government's claim that the executive order does not discriminate against Muslims because it does not apply to all countries with majority-Muslim populations, saying, “The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed. The court declines to relegate its Establishment Clause analysis to a purely mathematical exercise." The Court held that the plaintiffs would likely suffer irreparable harm without a temporary restraining order. Sarah fully agrees with the Court's analysis. Beth, while taking serious issue with the executive order, thinks the Court's analysis, particularly on standing, is very thin and problematic. Other News We discuss the Justice Department's indictment of two Russian spies and two criminal hackers in connection with the breach of 500 million Yahoo accounts in 2014 , and we wonder how the administration will respond. Senators Richard Burr and Mark Warner announced this week that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/16/us/politics/richard-burr-mark-warner-tr

Repeal and Replace: The American Health Care Act
Republicans have been saying "repeal and replace" for seven years. Today, we're talking about their proposal, the American Health Care Act, to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The Pearls (our quick discussions at important stories of the week) Attorney General Jeff Sessions requested the resignation of 46 United States Attorneys this week. Though it is not unprecedented for new administrations to transition personnel in the Department of Justice, the Trump administration's approach seemed unnecessarily graceless. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara , was especially taken aback by the Trump administration's move, refused to resign, and was ultimately fired. We also discussed two thought-provoking pieces on how we take in information. A recent study concluded that Breitbart dominated right-wing media during the 2016 election, creating an ecosystem of thought that altered the broader media agenda . We discuss our thoughts on Breitbart as a nationalist and populist outlet, rather than a conservative one, and on what we see as asymmetric polarization. In connection with exiting the echo chamber, Sarah recommended PolitEcho and Escape Your Bubble . The second piece is a fascinating experiment in gender roles. An NYU professor recreated parts of the debates between Trump and Clinton using a woman actor to play Trump and a male actor to play Clinton . Aside from the gender swap, the language, gestures, and tones of voice exactly mimicked Trump and Clinton during the debates. The results surprised the NYU audiences, and we were surprised by our reactions. As always, we took a moment to compliment the other party. Beth complimented Congresswoman Debbie Dingell for her measured comments on health care reform. Sarah complimented Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner fo

The Briefcase: Transparency, Wikileaks, and Listener Feedback
We discuss Noah Dyer - candidate for governor in Arizona - who posted a VERY transparent statement on his sex life on his website. Is total transparency something we want? Wikileaks certainly does. We discuss the trove of documents allegedly showing the CIA's cyber hacking capacity and technologies. We also discuss Assange's belief that total transparency is the goal . We follow up on some feedback from our Book Club discussion with Brynn who shared: I have tried SO. HARD. since the election to "reach across the aisle" and talk to people like this. But now, 120 days later, I am done. Do I condone physical or verbal aggression towards these people? Of course not. But if they are not willing to see that their views are truly HATEFUL then I don't know what else I can do. At this point I say we just press on without them if they aren't willing to abandon Radical Christian Extremism, embrace public education and accept facts as truth. Because there HAS to be some kind of line in the sand. We cannot keep making excuses for them or analyzing them like we're anthropologists forever. WE (all rational people of any political leaning) have to take a collective stand and tell them NO. We also discussed our listener Chiara's argument that maybe we do want the President to fail. Chiara wrote us, " I was thinking about how, on the latest episode, you said that you aren't rooting for Trump to fail because you have respect for the office of the president. That's actually something I've been thinking about a lot too...but for me, I'm starting to think that I AM rooting for him to fail...but for the same reason: because I respect the office of the presidency. The truth is, if Trump succeeds, it will inevitably send the message that it is entirely okay for the American people to elect a president who is racist, sexist, bigoted, possibly engaged in illegal activities, and not at all knowledgeable about government or world affairs. If Trump succeeds, people will see that if such a person is elected, everything will be fine. And I don't think that's okay. So I don't want that message to be sent, lest he get re-elected (or we end up with a similar president in the future). It's the same as with President Obama, at least if we're going entirely on identity. Even though I didn't agree with all of his policies, his successful presidency de

Testing President Trump
First up, Trump and Kellyanne fight with Nordstrom. Trump earlier this week tweeted that "My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person – always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!" (And it was retweeted by the official @POTUS account) Then, Kellyanne stated on Fox & Friends: "Go buy Ivanka's stuff, is what I would tell you," Conway said. "It's a wonderful line. I own some of it. I fully -- I'm going to just, I'm going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online." The comments could run afoul of a federal law that bars public employees from making an "endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity." James Nuzzo, a legal scholar and founder of the Colchester Group consulting firm, took a closer look at President Trump's tweet and noticed something very important was missing : Specifics. All the tweet accuses Nordstrom of "doing" is being "very unfair," Nuzzo points out. Any lawsuit the company brings against Mr. Trump would have almost no chance of success. Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that only factual misrepresentation, in other words specific lies — not opinion — would be considered libel or slander. And the tweet almost seems to have been crafted very wisely with that precedent in mind. Someone saying another person or company is "unfair" is almost the definition of an opinion as "fairness" cannot really be defined legally or otherwise. In short, don't expect President Trump to get a slap on the wrist or any other kind of slap from the courts over this. Congress is a different matter. A much stronger argument could be made that Congress could officially censure President Trump for his conduct connected to the tweet against Nordstrom and several others like it that specifically attacked or demeaned businesses and individuals. Plus, we ask Just how much trouble is Michael Flynn in? and talk about North Korea conducts ballistic missile test . In the Suit, we talk about Washington v.

The amount of the tax credit amount changes with age (25k 18-26,65+ - 10k 27-64) Interesting facts: - Son of a immigrant from Guatemala in which regime change created instability in the 1950s which led to decades of civil wars and dictators and has contributed to the frustrations over the border (stability abroad effects border security, so regime change is very much against the countries national interests) - parents are divorced so mainly raised by mother who after divorced lived in poverty working multiple part time jobs, going to school, raising two kids but worked her way to the middle class by the time I was 18 and has been my inspiration for my belief that anything is possible with hard work and determination - grew up in suburban CT,

We're speaking at Podcast Movement in Chicago this week, so we are thrilled to have two great interviews to share with you.

We never want to be numb to these incidents. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fasten Your Seat Belts: It's a Bumpy Primary
Since the presidential election keeps setting record levels of crazy, there is a lot to talk about in the episode. We do our best to cover it all-- from the Democratic primary in South Carolina to the train wreck GOP debate to Chris Christie's more trainwreck-esque endorsement to expectations going into Super Tuesday. We also revoke the benefit of the doubt we previously gave to Rick Snyder, and we discuss the tragic shootings in Kansas and Michigan. In a segment we called "WTF MSNBC," we ask WHAT is up with Rick Tyler's hiring and Melissa Harris Perry's departure. In the Suit, we discuss the populism, frustration, and authoritarian forces in this race. We try to regain some nuance about the Sanders and Trump movements. But, in the Heels, we Photo Credit: juha-pekka via Compfight cc where we totally lose our nuance---outside of politics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Briefcase: SO much Listener Feedback
In this episode of The Briefcase, we discuss Friday Feedback from so many listeners: Vielka, Bryn, Rachel, and Obie on college and school dress codes; Katie on Hillary Clinton and women in leadership; and Megan on the Oregon standoff. Additionally, we promise to devote Tuesday's episode to populism, Trump, and Sanders based on a series of topics from Nickie. Additionally, we discuss the "hot mic" audio from a Donald Trump interview with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezenski. Our listener Kedar flagged this for us, and it led to so many questions: In this media environment, what are the rules? What are journalists? And, what are we? Hosted on Acast.

Education: The Most Important Issue We Aren't Debating
Obviously, we have to talk about the Nevada Democratic caucus and the crazy South Carolina Republican primary. We take a moment to lament Jeb Bush's exit from the campaign, and we discuss the state of the race going forward. We've been disappointed that education has barely been a side note in the presidential race, so devote The Suit to our thoughts on education reform. Finally, we talk Oscar nominations in The Heels.

The Briefcase: Should I Be With Her?
On this episode of The Briefcase, we give a giant shoutout and thank you to Jacquie, Caitlin, and Sharon for supporting Pantsuit Politics. We received a ton of great feedback this week and appreciate every email, tweet, and Facebook message. We briefly discuss Lou's feedback on asymmetric polarization and the Supreme Court. At Loree's request, we talk about Jeb's "America" photo. We lament Nikki Haley's endorsement of Marco Rubio and the state of the Republican horserace. Finally, thanks to listener Michael, we consider identity politics and how much it should matter, if at all, that Hillary Clinton would be the first woman to be president. Hosted on Acast.

Our Hair’s on Fire
Our listener Susan inspired the title of this episode. We recap two crazy debates and the even crazier (and, let’s be honest, inappropriate) reactions to Justice Scalia’s death and the process to nominate his successor. In the Suit (inspired by our listener Bailey) we discuss why we affiliate with our respective parties and what we think becomes of the parties after the 2016 race. Finally, in the Heels, we talk about the women in political media who inspire us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Briefcase: Friday Feedback + Sexism in the 2016 Race
Amazing listeners--from Bryan to Diane to Dante to Vielka and so many more--gave us plenty to discuss in this week's Briefcase. We start a conversation on emergency management of cities in crisis and promise much more on that front. Beth promises not to vote for Donald Trump, and we get ever-so-slightly incredulous about The Megyn Kelly issues. We have been saying since the beginning that this race would force a conversation about women in leadership positions, and, well, we weren't wrong. Hosted on Acast.

Political Correctness: Much Ado about Something
This week, Sarah and Beth react to the recent Republican and Democratic debates before tackling what is arguably a key driver in this presidential cycle: political correctness. Have we gone too far in trying to be PC, or have we turned political correctness into shorthand for something else entirely? And what does this have to do with The Donald? In the Heels, we share our favorite subscription services. Side note: We apologize for the small audio issues in The Pearls. Luckily, we had it sorted out by The Heels! Hosted on Acast.
