More to Say Pantsuit Politics

I'm going to try my best not to gush, but I really can't help it. Our guests on More to Say today are two of the most wonderful, kind, generous, amazing people I've ever encountered. For years now, they have been showing up in quiet, important ways for our community and our team. You'll hear it in this conversation and will be just as in love with them as we are by the end of this episode.

Tiff and Jess are executive producers of the show who own and operate two Chick-fil-A restaurants in the Dallas metroplex in Texas. They got married this past year, but have been together for 12 years. They are here with Beth to share their experiences as queer women working within a company largely branded with an anti-LGBTQ+ reputation. They are living embodiments of nuance in ways most of us can only dream of. You are going to love this conversation and love Tiff and Jess. We are so honored they were willing to share their stories with us and this community. -Alise

Sarah and Beth compare notes on their summers thus far and discuss the Surgeon General's recommendation for a warning on social media.

Today, Beth has more to say about the EU Parliamentary Elections, the snap elections in France, and what will happen next. We know we have members of the Spice Cabinet listening from Europe, and we want to roll out the red carpet for y'all to chime in and add any context that we may have missed from this side of the pond.

Beth and Alise are together again to discuss the state of the presidential race, including what we think might be the most important quality to look for in a presidential candidate. Plus, the race to be Trump's VP and how those in the running might stack up against Vice President Harris on the debate stage.

Beth and Alise talk through the news of the week including Hunter Biden's conviction, the SBC vote on IVF, the Congressional censure of Merrick Garland, Biden's executive order on immigration, and some of our plans for future content.
