Pressing Pause: Our Body Politic is on hiatus.     |     Click here to learn more.    

This week I spoke with political advisor and long-time conservative Tara Setmayer (pictured above) on repudiating Donald Trump from the beginning, and where she fits in our divided body politic. Valerie Jarrett, Board Chair of the non-profit Civic Nation, shared what they’re doing to get more disproportionately impacted people vaccinated. Our public health contributor Dr. Kavita Trivedi returned with an update on what to do and not do once you’re vaccinated. And I welcomed Errin Haines of the 19th and Jess Morales Rocketto of the National Domestic Workers Alliance for a round of Sippin’ the Political Tea all about the week’s news.
