I had a blast talking with Greg Sargent on the Daily Blast (see what I did there?) about ABC exposing and fighting back against Trump/FCC’s fairly open retaliatory targeting of ABC
Greg SargentAmazing: ABC's new challenge to Trump's corrupt use of FCC to censor the network cites TRUMP'S OWN TWEETS AND STATEMENTS as evidence that he fully intended to punish it for its reporting and viewpoints. On the pod, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains all this so well: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
I talked with Emily Amick (Emily In Your Phone) about the attacks on due process we're seeing in immigration (both from the courts and the executive). Then I spoke to EEOC Commissioner Kalpana Kotagal about what the loss of independence has done to the EEOC. Check it out!

Sam Alito Has Gone FeralYouTube video by Strict Scrutinywww.youtube.comFYI- @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social @kenjennings.bsky.social - the Supreme Court in 2025 didn’t have a decision blocking publicly chartered religious schools. SCOTUS divided 4-4; it couldn’t assemble a majority to reach a decision. That left in place the lower court decision blocking religious school

Nathan TankusThe latest round of Trump tariffs are pretty amazing. If they go forward North America will no longer have an integrated car production industry but country-by-country silos. Which also means... a lot less car production. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
THREE CASES OF BEER YOU SAY??? The case will be a perfect occasion to reprise SCOTUS drunk history about the founding fathers being frat bros. (The fine is excessive & not proportional, but you know they're not going to reason in a straightforward/logical way.)
