  1. The Budget, DACA, and Listener Feedback on Aziz Ansari and Grace Sarah & Beth 35:13

The President of the United States, through his party’s website, actually gave out Fake News Awards this week. There is an epidemic of pettiness in our politics. Let’s discuss. 

We discuss Congress’s inability to pass a budget and inability to do a “deal” that the President will sign on DACA. We also talk about the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that devoted a sad amount of time to whether the President actually said the word “shithole.”

It’s difficult to know what’s happening in the Mueller investigation, but we do know that Steve Bannon has agreed to be interviewed. 

Finally, we discuss the State of the Commonwealth given by Governor Matt Bevin in our home, Kentucky. 

We then share listener feedback and continue the conversation regarding Aziz Ansari and Grace. There are too many think pieces and opinions to link because this issue has touched such a nerve–and that’s exactly why we think it’s so important.

Pantsuit Politics is a podcast for real conversations that help us understand politics, democracy, and the news - while still treating each other like thoughtful human beings. We take a different approach to the news; our political analysis blends hard facts with important social and cultural undercurrents so you don’t miss the big picture. Over years of discussing everything from abortion to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we established basic rules of engagement, which we describe in our books, Now What? How to Move Forward When We’re Divided (About Basically Everything) (2022) and I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversation (2019). Listeners describe us as “America’s political therapists” and “our trusted, smarter friends who can help us make sense of the world.”
