This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

You're going to start with a conversation about Republican governors sending people seeking

asylum to Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, and Martha's Vineyard.

Then Sarah is going to talk very personally about what's been unfolding in her community

and her heart as a parole hearing begins related to the shooting that took place in her

high school in 1997.

That's a lot of heavy and important conversation.

We promised to lighten it up at the end by talking about Sarah's son Felix and his

obsession with Elvis Presley.

Before we get started, we're really excited about an upcoming event and we wanted to give

you all the details.

Now, you know this, but Pantsuit Politics is an independent podcast.

The two of us own it.

There is no organization, there is no news, national news media behind it.

There are no outside investors.

It's just us with your support and we're able to make this podcast twice a week for free

for everyone because of listener support.

And we're trying to make being a supporter very, very fun.

So in addition to our premium podcast, good morning and more to say, we have a quarterly

live, ask us anything.
