    Barb McQuade and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on everything from down-ballot elections to presidential immunity, and more. They explain how voters can research judges through resources like vote411.org and the League of Women Voters, why local media’s decline has shifted focus away from state and local races, how voters can keep pressing officials on corruption, why states may still be able to prosecute Trump for state-law violations, the California State Bar grievance against Trump’s former press secretary, and how a future president could potentially waive privilege over DOGE records.

    Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s expanding campaign to cast doubt on the midterm results, a voter eligibility lawsuit in California trying to block people from voting, and the need to provide voter information and empower voters.  Then, the #Sisters expose corruption allegations involving Kimberly Guilfoyle and Alina Habba, and sound the alarm on the broader problem of grifting and corruption in politics.  They also explain Trump’s lawsuit claiming the BBC misrepresented his statements on J6, why it might backfire on him, and the case's broader impact on the media.

    Crimes & Corruption

    Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Jill Wine-Banks answer listener questions on everything from ICC jurisdiction to an all-female Supreme Court, and more. They explain why the International Criminal Court lacks jurisdiction over U.S. third-country immigrant removals, why Congress cannot appoint special counsel to investigate or prosecute the Trump administration, the potential of an all-female Supreme Court, the rules requiring broadcast networks to air political ads, the limited liability of contractors carrying out government contracts, and the advisory role of the Department of Defense General Counsel.

    Bad DOGE!

    Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS case over a FOIA request seeking DOGE transparency, the legal arguments, government accountability under Trump, and what the decision will mean for future information requests.  Then, the #Sisters expose MAGA’s war on the environment and disaster preparedness, looking at emergency preparedness during the fire season, the environmental concerns over Trump’s plans for a golf course in DC, and enforcing government compliance with court orders.  They also review the DOJ’s intervention into California’s mail-in voting, its effect on our elections, and the need for a robust pro-democracy platform from MAGA’s opponents.

    Truth & Reconciliation

    Barb McQuade and Joyce Vance answer listener questions on everything from AI-related harms to the death penalty, and more. They explain existing product liability and consumer protection tools that could address harmful AI systems while noting the need for new regulation, the limits of Trump’s executive order renaming the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, Congress’s civil, criminal, and rarely used inherent contempt powers to enforce subpoenas, the value of a post-Trump truth commission focused on creating an authoritative historical record and proposing reforms, and the political calculus around Justice Alito’s potential retirement before 2029.

    Weaponized: Abortion Pills, ICE Raids and the Cassidy Hutchinson Investigation

    Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the ongoing impact of the Dobbs decision on abortion laws across the country, particularly regarding access to Mifepristone, legal challenges to Dobbs and abortion laws, and the struggle to restore our rights.  Then, the #Sisters examine the violations of Posse Comitatus created by Trump’s immigration enforcement, why preventing the militarization of law enforcement is critical to democracy, and the deplorable conditions in ICE detention facilities.  They also revisit Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, the Trump administration's pushback, and the difficulty of indicting J6 participants.

    Election Shenanigans

    Jill Wine-Banks and Barb McQuade answer listener questions on everything from whether the Eighth Amendment covers immigration detention to foreign election interference, and more. They explain why the Supreme Court treats the ban on cruel and unusual punishment as applying only after criminal conviction, how international legal conferences and ABA programs let countries compare systems, why a crime victim’s civil suit can start alongside a prosecution but is usually stayed so the criminal case comes first, how a Democratic Congress could use the power of the purse and subpoenas against MAGA officials, the difference between real foreign social-media influence operations and unsupported claims of election hacking, presidential succession, and why a president and Senate cannot demote the Chief Justice.  Freshen up your fall wardrobe!  Get the ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at politicon.com/merch!  Additional #SistersInLaw Projects #SistersInLaw Main Show Jill’s Politicon YouTube Show: Just The Facts Kim’s Newsletter: The Gavel Joyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here.  Order Barb’s new book, The Fix, or her first book, Attack From Within, now in paperback.  Add the #Sisters & your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on Bluesky Get your #SistersInLaw MERCH at politicon.com/merch WEBSITE & TRANSCRIPT Email: SISTERSINLAW@POLITICON.COM or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcast Get text updates from #SistersInLaw and Politicon.  Mentioned By The #Sisters Order Barb’s new book, The Fix, and get tickets for her book tour!
