Your questions, answered

And a special YouTube livestream today!

(This coffee costs roughly as much as a monthly subscription to this newsletter!)

Happy Friday! We made it.

A special programming note before I get to your questions: At 1 pm eastern time today, I am going to do a livestream on my YouTube channel where I will take questions in real time for for 30-45 minutes. I will also answer some questions you all asked that I didn’t get to in this post. So, be there! And, if you can’t, don’t worry — I’ll post it here at some point over the long weekend.

As always, this is a post for paid subscribers ONLY. It’s just $5 a month (less than a grande vanilla latte!) or $50 a year. (If you are feeling very generous, become a founding member for $240!)

Ok, let’s see what’s on your mind!

Q: What would your elevator pitch for “So What” be to my conservative-leaning mother who feels overwhelmed by politics so much that she's willfully uniformed? I want her to feel empowered by knowing what's going on, not overwhelmed. I think you could be a good fit for her since you're generally lighthearted, fair, and offer good analysis and context. But what would you say to my mom?
