What's Going On With the Ladies? AOC, Natalie Harp, and Lindsay Clancy | Pantsuit Politics

Sarah opened this one with a simple question — what's going on with the ladies? — and we found out fast that you can't answer it without first describing the water everyone is swimming in. We get into head-of-household voting being discussed in respectable rooms, a bipartisan military IVF provision killed in committee, Natalie Harp and the insistence that she is somehow both above and below criticism, AOC filming her egg retrieval, and the women showing up in pink outside the Lindsay Clancy trial. Then, Outside of Politics, nostalgia concerts — Sarah is tapping out and I am a yes to any ticket.

*Topics discussed:*

• The water we're swimming in: head-of-household voting, blocked Pentagon promotions, and a military IVF provision killed in committee

• Natalie Harp and the women who are somehow both above and below criticism

• Susie Wiles, Darline Graham, and two theories of how a woman gets power

• AOC films her egg retrieval, and why Republicans are genuinely stuck on IVF

• Pink outside the courthouse: Lindsay Clancy, postpartum psychosis, and what we still can't say about motherhood

• Outside of Politics: nostalgia tours, Garth Brooks, and whether Sarah is done
