Lemonada.

This is Sarah Stewart Holland.

This is Beth Silvers.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics today.

We are going to talk about the actions of this

administration in Minneapolis at the Federal Reserve throughout the world. And that is going to

lead us to our moment that we have been bringing two episodes to observe America's 250th birthday

year because we have been reading Thomas Payne's common sense. It talks a lot about

tyranny. And I think tyranny is the umbrella existing over the entirety of our political

conversations on this episode. And then outside of politics, we're going to take a really hard

turn and talk about food. I think Sarah has a somewhat tyrannical framework for her eating

right now in that she is rejecting all soft food. But we're going to talk about food predictions I think Sarah has a somewhat tyrannical framework for her eating right now

in that she is rejecting all soft food. But we're going to talk about food predictions from the New York

Times for this year and spend a healthy amount of time digging into Sarah's feeling that soft food is off her list.

I stand by it. I said what I said. Okay. Before we start, we wanted to give a special shout out.

And thank you to our newest executive producers who have joined us. Jenny, Kelly, Ash, and Miranda, welcome. We are delighted to have you. As you know, Pantsu Politics is an independent media company, and that means we can't get fired, which is good or canceled by executives. And we have the freedom to talk about what we want to talk about, but it also means that we rely on all of you for our financial support. So thank you to everyone who supports

the show at all levels, but an extra thank you to the support from our executive producers,

which means the world to us. Up next, let's talk about Jerome Powell.

Sarah, I want to just go back to the weekend. Sunday night when Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, not known for splashy social media videos, is out there going viral saying, essentially, the president is using the justice department to try to shake me down, and I won't stand for it.

I'm wondering how you took that in.

I would like to say that it was also not splashy.

It was just effective.
