This is Sarah Stewart Holland, and this is Beth Silverth, thank you for joining us for

Pantsuit Politics.

Thank you for joining us today for Pantsuit Politics, where we take a different

approach to the news. On today's show we are going to discuss all of the news

related to the Israel-Hamas war and the way that Americans are responding to the crisis.

We're going to talk about the new speaker of the house, such as he is, and check in on the Trump

trials and the continued dominance of the MAGA movement in the Republican Party. And really what

we're doing is just processing a basket of hard-to-place emotions and ethics that the two of us

are struggling with and that we know many of you are as well. Outside of politics, which

don't we need today? We're going to talk about our conflicting approaches to online shopping

in October. We're going to talk about cell phones. We end up talking about some very 90s

solutions to contemporary problems. I don't know. It's a lot. We got there, but we hope that you

enjoy it. Please join us on this journey. If you've been finding our coverage of the Israel-Hamas war

or the speakers' race in the house, helpful. We would love for you to share the show with a friend.

The best way to grow our community is through word of mouth recommendations. So use that share

button in your podcast app and send it to someone you think might also enjoy our approach to the news.

reports about how many people have been killed and injured, but we know this is a very scary time

in Maine, and we know that every mass shooting brings new waves of grief for hundreds of thousands
