Before we begin, I just wanted to personally thank all the incredibly supportive listeners

who have donated or signed up to be patrons of this show. I really wavered on whether or not to do

So if you enjoy our content and think we offer you something worthwhile, please consider joining

the wonderful politics girl premium family and signing up for a subscription package. You'll get

access to add free episodes of this podcast, direct emails of the rants, discounted merch,

hosted Q&As, and the opportunity for in-person meet and greets. I've said it before and I'll

say it again, not selling out is expensive. But with your support, it'll continue to be possible.

Thank you for caring enough about democracy to be here. We literally can't do this without you.

is one of the smartest sources of information out there. I personally learned so much from him,

and I'm having him on so you can too. Today, we're going to discuss the big picture around

the latest Trump indictments. I'll do a series of rants that address the right-wing talking points

against what if you read the indictment should really be an open and shut case against
