This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce. Thank you for joining us for

Pantsuit Politics.

Thank you so much for joining us today for a new episode. We always really appreciate

you spending some of your time with us and we think deeply about what to share with

you as you spend that time here. Today we're going to start by talking about Liz

Truss and the UK. I'm sure you've all been following Liz versus Lettuce and have

seen that Lettuce prevailed. But we want to talk about that as we think more about the

midterm elections and all the discussion here in the United States about the economy

because we think there are some real lessons from the UK for us as we go to vote here in

the midterms. So that's what we're going to discuss first. And then we are bringing

back Pantsuit Politics favorite Carrie Anderson to help us make sense of the protest in Iran.

Again, lots of lessons about how interconnected we are across the world and what it means

when a people are struggling to be freer and how we want to support that effort. And then

stay around to the end of the show because outside of politics, we are discussing our

long time tradition of family Halloween costumes and some really significant changes in our

family this year. It's a little bit hard for me to talk about, but we're going to do

our best. We are now four episodes out from our seventh birthday here at Pantsuit Politics.

We have an ongoing birthday challenge. Today we are asking you to post four times about
