You're listening to Pantsu Politics,

where we take a different approach to the news.

Thank you. We're so glad you're here to ring in the new year with us.

We hope your holiday season was restful and restorative or whatever you wanted it to be.

Today, we're going to catch up.

We're going to cover some of what happened over the holiday break, including the terrorist attack in New Orleans,

the start of the 119th Congress, and the death of former President Jimmy Carter.

And then outside of politics, we both watched and listened to lots of things over the break.

So we're going to talk a little bit about that.

Before we do, we wanted to take a moment to thank so many of you who gifted Pantsuit Politics in some form or fashion over the holiday season.

We did so many cameos.

We sold T-shirts. We saw gift subscriptions to our premium shows on substack, spike, as all of you got in a very generous

spirit, not to mention the stacks and stacks of holiday cards that you sent to us with some of the loveliest notes I have ever read.

All of it is such a gift to us.

It means so much that our work can be a gift to someone else, and we are so appreciative

to those of you who gave it.

So thank you.

It means a lot to us.

And of course, it helps our business here at Pansu Politics.
