Thanks so much to our sponsor for this episode: 

Virtue Labs is a new haircare brand with a vision to give everyone the best hair scientifically possible. Six years ago, a group of bio scientists working in restorative medicine discovered an incredible new protein called Alpha Keratin 60ku, which has the power to completely transform your hair. Alpha Keratin 60ku is a whole, human protein that’s identical to the Keratin in your own hair, so it can resurface and fill in cracks from damage to change your hair’s quality and appearance forever. And, right now, you can only find it in Virtue Labs’s line of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. Not to mention, each formula was created to address specific issues like heat damage, frizz, or thinning hair. That means more bounce, more shine, more strength, and more life for your hair. Visit Virtue Labs and use the code PANTSUIT for 10% off and free shipping.

The Pearls 

We discuss the Senate's failure to pass a repeal or replacement of the Affordable Care Act, including the valiant efforts of Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. 

We also talk about Reince Preibus's departure from the White House and the President's appointment of John Kelly as the new Chief of Staff. 

To compliment the other side, Beth highlights the work of Take Back Our Republic, and Emily compliments Chuck Schumer. 

The Suit

We discuss Emily's viral tweetstorm and Call the Halls: Contacting Your Representatives the Smart Way. 

The Heel

Since we're both introverts, we discuss the introversion, the internet, public service, and the importance of our extroverted friends.
