Hey, Wittnex listeners, it's Mary Harris. Before we get to today's episode, I have a favor to ask.

This relationship feels slightly one-sided, just me talking to you all the time. We want to change that. We have a listener survey we want you to fill out. It's going to really help us do the show better. And we'll hear from you what you want, what you need, what you love, what you hate, all of that stuff. You can find

the survey in our show notes for all the latest episodes, or you can visit slate.com slash

what next survey. Okay, onto the show.

That's a statement of political reality.
