You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

Welcome to another episode everybody before we dive into this controversial and legally

dense subject.

We want to take another minute to think our donors, especially our subscribers, Christina,

Katie, Glenn, Brynn, Samantha and Camilla, Susan and Sidney are all stars.

We love you guys so much.

And thanks also to Joy for supporting the show as well.

You can find information about supporting the show at our website, PantsuitPoliticsShow.com.

And that's also where you can get your hands on a crazy moderate or Pantsuit Politics t-shirt.

So you can show your pride for the show there.

And then we also just want to ask everyone to take a second to fill out our very quick

We're pinning the survey link to the top of our Facebook and Twitter feeds.

And they'll just help us to know a little bit more about who's listening.

So we make sure that our subject matters stay relevant, especially as we look toward the

end someday, the presidential race will be over.
