Dude Process, Not Due Process

Huge news for lawyers: You can now listen to Strict Scrutiny for CLE! More info at crooked.com/strict_cleFriend of the Pod Emily Amick of Emily in Your Phone joins Leah to break down the week’s legal news, and the various and sundry ways due process is getting railroaded by Trump, the courts, and the terrible (mostly) men therein. While no discussion of bad decisions would be complete without the Fifth Circuit, we also have an appearance from Senator Josh Hawley, whose effort to limit information on medical abortion options has disturbing links to the playbook used against gender-affirming care. Then, Leah speaks with Kalpana Kotagal, Commissioner at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, about being the lone Democratic appointee after Trump fired the others, and the work of the Commission in a post-independent agency world.

The Daily Blast: Trump Quietly Shivs Hyper-Masculine Icon Andrew Tate as MAGA Cracks Up

Andrew and Tristan Tate, two major “manosphere” influencers, were recently arrested in Miami and now face charges of rape and sex trafficking in Britain. The White House now says Donald Trump will not intervene in their extradition, a turnaround for two top MAGA figures who are close to Trump’s inner circle and helped him win young men in 2024. Worse, many MAGA figures are following Trump and deserting the Tates. Still, MAGA is cracking over this: Tucker Carlson and several other figures are expressing sharp skepticism of the charges, treating the Tates as martyrs and raging at the charges as “politically driven.” As Guardian columnist Moira Donegan and I conclude in this episode, their dissent is significant: It’s clearly speaking to a sizable chunk of MAGA that actively lionizes the violent misogyny that the Tates represent. We discuss the deeper causes of MAGA’s divisions over the Tates, why the MAGA vision of masculinity is imploding, how Democrats got spooked by 2024 into overreading Trump’s successes with young men, and how they can speak to this constituency more effectively.

The Daily Blast: Trump Poll Collapse Hits New Milestone as Leaks Reveal Fresh GOP Panic

Donald Trump has hit a trifecta, throwing away the traditional GOP edge on the economy, immigration, and national security. The latest polls show Democrats are leading Republicans on the economy by a comfortable nine points, have hit near-parity with the GOP on immigration, and lead on foreign policy, even as Trump has sunk into the 20s on the Iran war, all shockers. These polls show it’s all driven by Trump’s collapsing approval on all three. Yet Trump just unleashed a huge new wave of tariffs. His GOP allies are leaking their deep dismay to Politico: One suggests this worsens the affordability problem and cannot be spun favorably by GOP candidates. Another says this is a “bad conversation for Republicans.” We talked to Democratic strategist Andrew Bates. He explains what all this looks like on the ground in difficult House races, what obstacles still remain, and why it remains hard for Democrats to win rural voters who are unhappy with Trump.

It’s Party for Two, and Mark is joined by Karen Stintz, former Toronto City Councillor, former TTC Chair, political commentator, and VP of finance and operations for the Canadian Council for Rehabilitation and Work, where they talk about the top stories of the day. Next, Mark takes calls on blood donation experiences: Have you given blood lately? Ever had a problem? Would you donate more often if you were paid? What would make the system better? Mark then asks listeners whether it’s time for Canada to create a national wildland firefighting service, funded through the defence budget. Mark speaks with Rob Hindi, AM800 CKLW reporter, for coverage of the Gordie Howe Bridge opening as the first cars cross the bridge.

Mark Towhey hosts the Jerry Agar show today and opens with commentary on the Gordie Howe Bridge, which officially opens to cars today after months of cross‑border controversy and political tension. Mark then takes calls on the island airport: Do you think there will eventually be jets landing at Billy Bishop Airport? Next, Mark explores condos for seniors and whether they could help address housing needs. He speaks with Jim Dunn, professor at McMaster University and director of the Canadian Housing Evidence Collaborative, about design, affordability, repurposing existing buildings, and why malls like Cloverdale aren’t using their land for seniors‑oriented housing. Mark then opens the phones: Would you move into a seniors‑focused condo?

Ep 249 — DHS Voter Lists?

DOCKET ALERTS: The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger is on hold well into next year. The parties stipulated that the merger would not go through pending trial in the antitrust case brought by twelve state AGs, despite massive financial penalties for Paramount if the deal is delayed. Meanwhile, the Writers Guild of America has filed a similar antitrust action, which has also been assigned to Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín. Trump's newest tariff scheme, based on findings of anticompetitive use of forced labor by our trade competitors, drew multiple legal challenges. Learning Resources v. US, Take 3! Fired US Attorney for the Western District of Washington, Roger Rogoff, is suing to get his job back. MAIN SHOW: In March, Trump put out an executive order instructing DHS to compile a list of voters. The states would then be forced to submit all mail-in ballot recipients to a portal and supply each with an individual bar code. The Post Office was instructed to refuse to deliver ballots to anyone not on the list. That order is now being litigated in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, the DC Circuit, the US District for Massachusetts, the First Circuit and, as of today, the Supreme Court. James Comey has moved to dismiss the two-count federal indictment against him for posting an instagram photo of seashells that spelled out "8647." We discuss the "true threat" doctrine and the administration's larger war on freedom of speech when it comes to his critics and journalists. Speaking of which, in the subscriber bonus, we discuss the case of Atlanta "Stop Cop City" protester Sam Tunick, who was charged with destroying evidence when he tricked CBP agents into bricking his phone.

POWERCAST: CANADA UNDER ATTACK, CARNEY'S WAR STRATEGY, CPC FIGHTING, FORD LOSES AIRPORT

As tensions in the Middle East escalate and the specter of World War 3 looms, Canada stands at a crossroads. The Trump regime's aggressive threats grow louder, while the infighting among Poilievre Conservatives leaves us with uncertainty. The NDP seems to be absent from the fray, and Premier Ford is struggling to defend his decisions regarding the airport and his cabinet's costly perks. Now, more than ever, Canadians deserve a strong, decisive leadership that responds to these mounting challenges. We must rally behind Prime Minister Mark Carney and demand a robust wartime strategy to tackle the new 50% tariffs threatening our economy. It’s time for action! In this pivotal moment, Charlie Angus from Meidas Canada, along with host Laura Babcock, come together as the "dynamic duo of democracy" to shed light on the latest developments and emphasize the importance of clarity from the Carney government.
