Well, Bethany, I wondered if you could start by helping us think about the relationship

that China has with Russia and really take us back in time before this invasion, maybe

back before even Russia started its activity in Crimea.

How are those two countries viewing one another and how has that evolved?

I can take you back even further.

This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverz.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

Hello and thank you so much for joining us here at Pantsuit Politics where we try to take

a different approach to the news.

Today we're going to talk about the historic confirmation hearings underway for Judge

Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on

the Supreme Court.

Then we're going to turn our focus back to Ukraine but a little different angle.

We're going to share our conversation with Bethany Allen Abrahamian from Axios about

China and how the Chinese Communist Party fits into our understanding of the war in Ukraine.

Finally, with the Oscars coming Sarah, I want your favorite times of year.

It's my favorite time of year.

It's not March madness.

And it lists near Lizzie's request.

We're going to talk about best picture nominee, don't look up and it's messaging.

But first we're really excited about our books.

Sarah, you want to tell them where we are?
