We're SO close to our first Patreon goal and hope that you'll find enough value in our discussions to contribute to the nuance! Come check out the secret garden of content!

With Kiva, you can back the dreams of refugees, small business owners, students, and those needing a chance - at home in the U.S. and abroad. The best part is that it's a loan, not a donation, so as you get repaid you can continue to recycle your money to fund more individuals. Join in the movement today at kiva.org/PANTSUIT, and if you make your first loan during July or August, Kiva will give you a $25 credit to back a second dream.

North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, and the Trump administration is considering U.S. options. We discuss how we'd handle this escalating situation if we were in the White House.

Representative Clay Higgins filmed himself discussing his public service in a gas chamber in Auschwitz. He has apologized. We reflect on whether we're losing our sense of sacred spaces.

We discuss listener feedback on patriotism before turning to our thoughts on Kentucky Senator and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Believe it or not, McConnell used to be a moderate and even helped work toward passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. But the Senator has built his career on tactical, rather than legislative, achievements and is now seeking the tactical victory of repealing the Affordable Care Act. We talk about what we've observed and hoped for in our Senator.
