We discuss the recent DACA “deal” between Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Donald Trump – as well as the recent internal polling with Democrats. DACA become suddenly very relevant considering a recent controversy at our alma mater Transylvania University. 

We also heard from lots of y’all who have trouble giving Betsy DeVos the benefit of the doubt and the difference between skepticism and cynicism. We also talked about “levels of guiltiness” in sexual assault. 

We also discuss Hillary Clinton (again) and the electoral college.

Sarah & Beth Podcasters

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.”
