Hello and welcome back to Maine Justice.

It is Monday afternoon, May 12th.

I'm Andrew Weissman and I'm here with my co-host, Mary McCord.

Hi, Mary.

Hi, Andrew.

I feel like we're almost getting into a trend of these Monday afternoon slash evening recordings instead of Tuesday morning.

But it always feels very scrambled to me to get it together on a Monday afternoon after I've been working all day.

That's why I feel, if you could just change that to how you feel since January 20.

Yes, yes, that's true.

Because as we've talked about, the sort of intentional Blitzkriek of all of this is a challenge.

And once again, even though last week we did two episodes, there still was a ton to talk about.

And so at least Mary, I feel like I'm getting my fill of Mary McCord.

That's for sure. I'm sure you're quite sick of me by now.

Oh, yeah. It's like, no, two years in running, still want to get as much as I can.

It's all good stuff.

This is one where it's like no anecdotes, no chit-chat because we need to get to this,

because there's just too much to cover.

Too much.

Which is maybe my segue to Mary.

What is on our dance card?

Right.

Well, we're going to start with the big news that came on Friday.
