Hey, this is Harry with a quick note about our Patreon site.

There are six, count them six, all new interviews and one-on-ones there since last week.

We have Rich Cordray talking about the Texas lawsuit and the Supreme Court.

We have Frank Figgley-Uzi on the big Russian hack.

Juliet Kiam on the road ahead for the vaccine.

Bianca Brooks on Progressive's perspective on Biden's cabinet picks to date, Attorney

General Josh Shapiro who led the charge against the Texas lawsuit for Pennsylvania.

And then finally, a whole episode unto itself, a four-way conversation with Ellie Honegg,

Katie Banner and Andrew Weissman about Bill Barr's resignation.
