Are You There, God? It’s Me, the Constitution.

SCOTUS may be between argument sessions, but the legal news isn’t slowing down. Kate, Melissa, and Leah cover the latest out of Minnesota before touching on the Department of Homeland Security’s troubling use of administrative subpoenas and Jodi Kantor’s reporting on the introduction of non-disclosure agreements to the Supreme Court. Then, some election news: the Tulsi Gabbard-supervised FBI raid on an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, Trump’s desire to “take over” elections, and an update on the challenge against California’s Proposition 50, Gavin Newsom’s counter to racial gerrymandering in Texas. Finally, Kristi Noem’s attempt to revoke Temporary Protected Status for Haitians gets shot down by the District Court for the District of Columbia, and a smörgåsbord of other legal bits and pieces.

What the Hell Is Happening in the USA? - w/ Eric Ham

What’s really happening in the United States…and how did American democracy get to this point? On this episode of Politics is Broken, Stewart and Lisa are joined by U.S. political analyst, bestselling author, and former congressional staffer Eric Ham for a revealing conversation about Donald Trump, American politics, and the structural failures that paved the way for the current crisis. Eric offers an unexpected and deeply informed perspective on how the U.S. drifted here over decades…from weakened democratic institutions and access-driven media, to the normalization of political extremism, racism, and fear as a governing strategy. He explains why Trump isn’t an accident or an outlier, but a symptom of unresolved American contradictions that many preferred not to confront. The discussion also explores U.S.–Canada relations, trade tensions, immigration enforcement, the future of free and fair elections, and why many Americans are quietly alarmed by what they’re seeing from their own government. Eric breaks down why global concern isn’t overreaction…and what happens when accountability disappears. A sobering, honest look at American democracy, Trumpism, political polarization, and the uncertain road ahead — with rare clarity from inside Washington.

The Daily Blast: Trump’s Fury at NFL Show Spikes amid Fresh Signs His Base is Imploding

Donald Trump was initially angry over the decision to feature Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl halftime show. But then, as he performed, Trump’s rage worsened: In a furious rant, he claimed the show was a “slap in the face” to our country, that Bad Bunny’s use of Spanish means “nobody understands a word this guy is saying,” and that the show was “absolutely terrible.” Other MAGA figures fumed that the show was a betrayal of America. Meanwhile, CNN polling guru Harry Enten details in a new analysis that Trump is hemorrhaging support from his working class base. What if those two developments—Trump-MAGA fury at the show and Trump bleeding his base—are related? We talked to Adrian Carrasquillo, author of The Bulwark’s excellent newsletter “Huddled Masses.” We discuss how Trump-MAGA are in a bubble about Bad Bunny’s show, how most Americans likely viewed it, why Trump’s ICE raids and hostility to immigrants are costing him working class support, and how that wrecks various myths about 2024.

Lawfare Daily: What To Expect on the Immigration Front in Year 2 of Trump's Second Term

Lawfare Senior Editor Eric Columbus talks with Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council to discuss what is—and isn’t—likely to look different in the upcoming year of Trump administration immigration policy. After a whirlwind year, ICE and CBP have a lot more resources than at the dawn of the administration—but also a lot more opposition. How will it all shake out?

Ghislaine Maxwell Testified Before Congress — and Lawmakers Reviewed Unredacted Epstein Files

What would happen if Ghislaine Maxwell testified before Congress and the unredacted Epstein files exposed the full network of powerful figures who escaped scrutiny? On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Katy Tur breaks down Ghislaine Maxwell's appearance before lawmakers where she invoked the Fifth Amendment on nearly every question, her lawyer hinting at potential clemency from President Trump as the only way she might cooperate. The discussion explores why Maxwell spoke freely for hours with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch yet stonewalled Congress, her transfer to the lenient "Club Fed" prison despite her sex trafficking conviction, and survivor accounts portraying her as the more insidious figure in the grooming and abuse of underage girls. Joined by experts including Sam Stein, Tom Dupree, and Sarah Fitzpatrick, the conversation delves into bipartisan elite connections shielding the conspiracy, conflicting explanations around her DOJ meeting, the lack of prosecutions against other high-profile names mentioned in files, survivor frustration with stalled investigations, and the limited fallout in the U.S. compared to international pressure in cases like the UK's. What inconsistencies in the handling of the Epstein files and Maxwell's treatment disturb you the most?
