I get so many questions from people about when you have to pay attention because it's your job.

And some of these cases that I see you posting the transcripts of the court documents, they're pretty vicious or they have really awful details.

And you are kind of watching the fraying of some of the structures of our democracy in real time.

How do you sort of balance your mental health around these things and take care of yourself?

Well, thank you so much for all the work that you do, Kyle.

I hope you get some sleep at some point in the midst of all of this.

Well, that's a good way to stay up.

Kyle Chaney is a legal affairs reporter at Politico.

Thanks so much for coming on again, Kyle.

Really appreciate it.

That is it for us today.
