Summary

This week we're excited to share an episode of Pantsuit Politics. In today's episode, hosts Sarah Steward Holland and Beth Silvers are discussing the Signal controversy, in which Jeffrey Goldberg (editor-in-chief of The Atlantic) was accidentally added to a group chat discussing war plans among top US officials. They discuss the national security implications and what this tells us about the second Trump administration's approach to governance.

1:26.9

And again, we always take a moment to exhale and talk about what's on our mind outside of politics. And today, after our in-depth

1:28.8

conversation last week about parenting and crunchy moms, we're going to talk about the tasks
