Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Jill Wine Banks, Barb McQuaid, and me, Joyce fans.

Kim is out this week, but she'll be back soon.

So before we get started, if you have not visited our merch shop lately,

you will want to take a look at the new Sisters-in-law Resistance mini-tote,

which you can pre-order right now.

If you're a knitter like me, you're going to want this as your newest project bag,

but there are a thousand other uses for these things.

They're fantastic, so head over after you

listen to the podcast and take a look. You can find them at politicon.com slash merch and get yours now.

This week, there's so much to discuss. We've got the end of police oversight from DOJ. The charges the

U.S. attorney in New Jersey has brought against

a sitting congresswoman, and also what you need to know about a legal president called Humphrey's

executor and what the Supreme Court did to it earlier this week. So I've been out for the last two

weeks and I've missed my sisters and all of y'all more than I can say, but I was gone for a good reason. I was gone for the college graduation of two of my kids, actually a college graduation and a master's graduation opposite ends of the country. Utter insanity. And it's such a difficult time for the students coming out right now. In many ways,

I felt at a loss to give them good advice, and they really wanted it, not just my own kids,

but they're friends and my law students. I mean, this is a moment where people need and deserve

our collective wisdom. And so, sisters, I'm wondering what advice you might have to give to your

graduation self or maybe even to today's kids. If you could go back in time knowing what you

know right now, what would you tell yourself? Barb, you're always so good with advice. What would you do?

I'll tell you what to do, Joyce.

You are.

You're always good.
