It Doesn't Have to Be You
Jason Kander on who has "it" for 2028, AI as a public utility, and uncapping the House
I'm not on today's episode, but I know you'll love it. Sarah is joined by Jason Kander, THREE time Pantsuit Politics guest. They start with an update on the Missouri redistricting fight and then turn to 2028: who do they like to lead the Democratic ticket, and what should that ticket stand for? They talk about AI, the future of work, uncapping the House (mark your Bingo card!), and how "back to normal" isn't a winning message. Outside of politics, they talk about the Chiefs -- the stadium, the "guy on the Chiefs," and KC geography. Don't miss Sarah's announcement at the top about our Good Neighbors t-shirt design contest. We can't wait to see what you create! - Beth

I agree with uncapping the house but I think if Democrats took that as an issue or a goal, it would be such an easy target for Republicans. More not less government? More corruption? More expense? I don’t know how you sell that to the general public in a way that would persuade low information voters.
Sarah, talk to your stylist about “lived in gray”—I stopped coloring my hair almost a decade ago but the gray hair is such a different texture and growing in patchy so it was bugging me and I wanted more. She added a bunch of thin natural looking pieces highlighted and toned the best shade of gray to compliment my natural tone. I go like 2x / year for some maintenance pieces to be added in but otherwise she just retones them when I go for my haircuts. And I get compliments on my hair alllll the time now, and honestly, it’s just so flattering for my skin too.
