Anna Palmer of Politico's Playbook helps us process the state of D.C. going into another

spending fight.

And we discuss othering as a foundational problem in our political dialogue.

This is Sarah from the left.

And Beth from the right.

You're listening to Pantsy Politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

Welcome to another episode everybody.

We are so excited to be joined by Anna Palmer.

She's going to help us in the intro, get through the major headlines and where D.C.

is at as we face another government shutdown at the end of this week, which spoiler alert

she doesn't think is going to happen, but we'll see.

And the main segment we're going to talk about the power of othering people and why we're

beginning to see that as the source of so many problems in our political dialogue and

our global world.

And then as always at the end of this episode we will talk about what's on our mind outside

of politics.

We are here this morning with Anna Palmer of Politico's playbooks.

Sarah and I read the playbook religiously in the mornings and are so excited to be talking

with you.

Anna, thank you for joining us.

Thanks for having me.
