Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Jill Wine Banks, Kimberly Atkins Store, and me,

Barb McQuaid. Joyce will be back next week, and we already miss her. Check out our brand new t-shirts that celebrate the resistance.

We're enjoying the shirts.

I've been wearing mine, getting a lot of compliments on it.

You can go to politicon.com slash merch to get your own resistance t-shirt.

Now, we'll get on with the show.

This week we'll be discussing Trump's attack on the First Amendment,

lawyers in the crosshairs, and the days of Doge.

But first, I want to ask you guys, you know,

it seems to me that when somebody asks me,

how am I doing, or I ask them how they're doing,

you know, whether it's a neighbor, a friend,

a colleague at the law school, it's not easy to answer that question anymore, right?

I used to say, great, or just fine, or something along those lines.

And now it seems like you've got to say, you know, considering all of the trauma, et cetera,

et cetera.

How are you guys handling either asking that question or responding to that question these days?

That's such a great, great point, because I found that too over the last month or two,

saying, you know, you don't even think about it.

It's just like a greeting.

Like, how are you?

Right.
