Welcome to Pantsy at Politics, where a woman from the right and a woman from the left

accessorize the news with a fresh perspective.

This is Sarah from the left and that's from the right.

Welcome to another episode of Pantsy politics. This is our special Friday episode called

the Brief Case where we share a listener feedback and send you into the weekend with one or

two of our top stories. We also want to take a moment and thank everybody for the really

great response to our last episode where Beth and I shared what I'm calling our political

origin stories. Why? I'm a Democrat and why Beth is a Republican. Everybody was just really

super kind and wonderful about that segment, which we were feeling a little vulnerable,

sharing all our thoughts, but as always, our community was fabulous. And we also want

to thank a couple special members of our community. Two weeks ago, we opened up our

brand new website, Pantsy politics show.com. And on the website, you can become a supporter

of the show, either through a one-time donation or by signing up for regular monthly donations.

Now, not big ones, just like, you know, $5 a cup of coffee a month to share with us

theoretically or figuratively. I don't even know the right word. But we've also had people

just be really super supportive and give us several one-time donations. And we just

want to thank Jackie and Kaitlyn and Sharon, top three VIPs. So generous. Thank you so,

so much. That helps us cover the cost of producing Pantsy politics. And just makes us really

feel warm and special. Yeah, it's really humbling and we just can't

say thank you enough. I'm always overwhelmed by the response to our show. And even more

so now, thank you so much. So we're both, I sound a little bit better than Monday, but

Beth is breastfeeding, so she doesn't sound as good because she can't take all the good
