| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Kimberly Atkins Store, Joyce Vance, Jill Winebanks, and me, Barb McQuaid. I want to mention that hoodies |
| 0:24.1 | and t-shirts for the resistance are available to order for the holidays. Our deadline, our |
| 0:30.2 | overseers tell us, is Monday, December 15th. That's how many days, Kim? Two days. Yeah, I had to have her say it like that. |
| 0:40.0 | Two days. If you want to order sisters-in-law hoodies, t-shirts, or other merchandise, |
| 0:44.9 | you've got until Monday, December 15th, two days to make sure they arrive in time. |
| 0:50.4 | You can find all that stuff at the politicon.com slash merch store. |
| 0:55.3 | And you can find the link in our show notes. |
| 0:57.6 | Today, in our show, we'll be discussing the third, yes, third failure of the Department |
| 1:03.7 | of Justice to obtain an indictment against Letitia James, a judge's order prohibiting |
| 1:08.9 | the Trump administration from federalizing more National |
| 1:12.3 | Guard troops in California, and this week's capital punishment case that was argued at the Supreme |
| 1:18.3 | Court. But before that, sisters, I got to tell you, it's been a heavy week. We've had a terrible |
| 1:25.7 | scandal at the University of Michigan involving our football team. |
| 1:30.0 | We've had, you know, all of the Trump nonsense that goes on nonstop. |
| 1:35.1 | And I'm trying to find a moment in my day, in my week, to reflect on things that bring beauty, kindness, awe, you know, things that make me |
| 1:47.5 | just recognize the beauty in life, whether it's, you know, human kindness or nature or whatever |
| 1:55.2 | it is. You got anything to pick me up? Joyce, what about you? You know, I hear you, Barb. It's easy to get down in the dumps, and it's so important to do things that drag yourself out. |
| 2:08.1 | So let me tell y'all what I've been enjoying. I asked Bob for a wildlife camera for Christmas, and he went ahead and set it up for me a little bit early. And so we now have |
| 2:19.3 | this family text loop that shows us whatever gets captured every day. And far and away, |
| 2:26.2 | the knockout is something that's long been rumored to exist in our neighborhood, but that we've |
| 2:32.1 | never seen before, a bobcat, which suddenly |
| 2:36.5 | showed up on camera last week, much to everybody's shock and amazement. And it's just, you know, |
