Hey, I'm Anna Bauer, a senior editor at Lawfare. You might know me best for my courtroom coverage.

I'm usually the one who is first in line outside the courthouse before a high-profile hearing.

Or maybe you know me as the reporter who's on a quest to uncover the true identity of the

you from the inside is that the work that goes into getting this stuff right, careful, nonpartisan,

expert legal analysis doesn't happen by accident. And it doesn't come cheap. Lawfare is a 501C3

nonprofit. The content we produce is free to the public, no paywalls.

But that only works if the people who rely on it, listeners like you, help keep it going.

So if lawfare has helped you make sense of even one confusing court order,

please consider becoming a material supporter.

Head over to lawfaremedia.org slash support.

$10 a month really does make a difference.

Thanks so much for listening.
