[gentle music] Hi, I'm Molly Roberts from Lawfare. You may recognize me from my coverage of the prosecution of Letitia James or Sandwich Guy. Lawfare is built around reliable, independent, non-partisan expert analysis delivered at the pace of news. That kind of writing is increasingly rare, but it's also increasingly necessary at a moment when democracy and the rule of law are under pressure here and abroad. None of this work happens without support from people like you. Lawfare is a nonprofit. We have no paywalls. Everything we produce is accessible to anyone who wants it. We rely on our readers and listeners to keep this work going. So I'm asking you to join thousands of members of the Lawfare community in stepping up to support us and get access to perks like the ad-free podcast feed, monthly ask us anything opportunities, invites to special events, and more along the way. Head to lawfaremedia.org/support and become a material supporter for $10 a month or more if you're able. If you're listening to this, you care about things that matter, so help us continue to offer all our content for free to everyone else who cares too.
