This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Poohletics, where we take a different approach to the news. Thank you so much for joining us today. We are honored to have with us the minority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives Catherine Clark.

Representative Clark has joined us to talk about the State of Congress as well as her exciting new legislation, the affordable

child care agenda.

But before we get to one of the most powerful women in Congress, we're going to talk about

what we think can only be described as a feminist backlash, currently occupying the zeitgeist.

Yes, we're going to talk about Paris and Butker.

And as always, at the end of the show,

we'll share what's on our minds,

or, as the case may be, our noses, outside of politics,

when we're going to talk about smells and perfume etiquette

and smell maxing.

Before we do that, we want to remind you

that we're going to take a little different approach this summer by sharing

episodes of the nuanced life on Fridays. Every Friday you'll get a special episode of the nuancedance Life, which is a podcast that we made from 2017 to 2020 to expand on those outside of politics conversations and really to dig into the issues that occupy most of our lives and yours too, family relationships, parenting.

So we have lots of commemorations and questions from listeners to share.

You'll see it just here in this feed every Friday and to get a

taste of what we'll be doing we have a special live ticketed event coming up on

May 30th. The New Ones Life Live where we'll talk about work life balance

just kind of get ourselves

together and ready and prepped for the summer and the shift that we all make in the

summer as we try to balance work and life in a new way and will take your questions in real time.

So all the information that you need to get tickets for that special nuanced life live event
