Every day, in every newsroom around the world, there's a meeting to decide what leads the news.

It's often argumentative and occasionally heated.

In this new podcast, you'll get to hear the argument for yourself.

As each week, three journalists pitch the story they think mattered most.

And at the end of each episode, I'll decide what comes out on top.

I'm James Harding and from Podomo and Tortoise, this is the News Meeting.

Find it wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to hashtag Sisters in Law with Kimberly Atkins' store,

Jill Wine Banks, and me, Barb McQuade.

Joyce Vance is away this week, but we look forward to her return next week.

In exciting news from the merch front, we have a new for spring,

Pale Blue Women's T-shirt in the hashtag Sisters in Law merch store.

You can go to politicon.com slash merch to get yours now.

I have one and a friend told me that she bought one yesterday.

I'm told they're going fast.

Well, let's turn to today's show when we'll be discussing the Jared Kushner business deals in Saudi Arabia,

Elon Musk's bid to take over Twitter and the police shooting in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

And as always, we look forward to answering your questions at the end of the show.

We have some pretty heavy topics today.

So before we turn to those, I want to discuss something lighter with my sisters.

I love words and I love combinations of words.

And you are all wordsmiths.
