Podcasts about DOJ

One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our old friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. His latest work of art is a model prosecution memo that came just days before Trump received his target letter that lays out the case against him in startling clarity. Eisen writes that “the memo builds on the work that has been done by the Jan. 6 Committee and many others but is the first comprehensive application of the law to the facts to establish that DOJ standards for bringing charges are met. We offer an in-depth look at the vast factual record through prosecutorial eyes to describe a relatively simple three-part theory of the case that prosecutors can try to verdict in a year or less.” It's that three-part theory that Norm is going to break down for us today. Settle in folks and get educated, you're about to get a masterclass in how to bring down Donald Trump. 

This week, Anthropic filed for an IPO following a valuation of nearly $1 trillion, which would make it one of the largest IPOs in history. On this week's On the Media, the company's marketing campaign to position it as the “good guy” of AI. Plus, what a literary AI scandal reveals about our vanishing ability to tell what's human and what's not.  [01:00]  Micah speaks with Brian Merchant, a tech journalist and author of the book and newsletter Blood in the Machine, about Anthropic's successful positioning of itself as the “ethical AI company,” even gaining themselves a seat at the table when the Pope debuted his encyclical on AI, and how fostering this image seems to be paying off in the form of a massive valuation and upcoming IPO. [16:18] Micah sits down with Vauhini Vara, a contributing writer for The Atlantic and the author of Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age, on the infiltration of AI into literature, and how publishing and journalism have entered a new era of trying to keep AI writing at bay.  [27:51] Brooke talks with David Garrett, founder of the new non-profit the Institute for Primary Facts, about the pop-up exhibit he organized in New York City that displayed over 3,400 printed volumes of the Epstein files, and how he intends it to be a “pressure campaign” for accountability. Plus, Andrea Sterling, an online content creator and a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, on the impact of seeing the files in real life.

Just moments after he was told that he would be nominated to be the AG, Todd Blanche is already embroiled in a new ethical scandal, this time having his DOJ accused of violating the most sacrosanct grand jury secrecy rules in intentionally leaking to the press a DRAFT, unsigned version of a superseding indictment BEFORE it was presented to the grand jury, against the Southern Poverty Law Center. Popok ties together all of this unethical grand jury conduct that is emblematic of a rotten DOJ and pins it on Blanche, whose confirmation is far from a foregone conclusion.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Today, 98% of all federal criminal cases are resolved with a guilty plea. Why? "Half a loaf is better than none. . . . When we have a weak case for any reason, we'll reduce to almost anything rather than lose." In modern America, "beyond a reasonable doubt" as determined by a jury has largely been replaced by the discretion of prosecutors to punish defendants for exercising their constitutional right to a trial by jury. So much so, defendants in pretrial detention are agreeing to plea "bargains" at a rate so high, it's difficult to deny the obvious: Innocence is irrelevant. Reb is joined by Hannah Bogen, a Federal Public Defender in the Office of the FPD for the Central District of California, the largest public defense office in the federal system. Hannah shares her firsthand experience with indigent defense, pretrial detention, plea bargaining, and sentencing policy—a rare glimpse into the real lives of her clients in the federal criminal system, and public defenders' enduring fight for dignity and mercy for the people whom society often forgets...Until it happens to you. **DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions discussed in this episode are personal to Hannah and Reb and do not reflect the views or opinions of the Office of the Federal Public Defender.** A huge thank you to Hannah Bogen for her time and unforgettable insight for this episode, and a gracious nod to the Offices of the Federal Public Defender in Los Angeles and around the country. Their attorneys, staff, and investigators are selfless bright sparks in a system shrouded by darkness.

John Bolton, Vincent Munster, Claude Kwe, Karmelo Anthony, and the war powers resolution headline today's A.M. Update. Trump blasts House Republicans for passing a war powers resolution mid-Iran negotiations, but Aaron floats a take he cannot shake: the vote might actually be Trump's exit ramp out of a deal that was never going to happen. John Bolton pleads guilty to one count of retaining national security information and agrees to $2.25 million in restitution, and Aaron questions whether that counts as the scalp DOJ's critics were hoping for. Two NIH researchers, Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe, are charged with smuggling 113 vials of monkeypox through Detroit Metro Airport after lying to customs agents, and Brooke Rollins confirms a new world screwworm detection in Zavala County, Texas. YouTuber Jesse Ridgeway announces he and his wife terminated their pregnancy after a Down syndrome diagnosis, and Aaron does not pull punches. The AOTMA segment covers a listener's plans to create a crisis Bible for the suicidal, nuclear family month spreading to Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas, the two-tiered justice system, SNAP cards being used at fast food restaurants in Michigan, and a candid update on the show's distribution struggles.

Illegals tricked radical leftists and democrats into rioting over a fake hunger strike at the Delany Hall ICE facility in New Jersey. John Bolton reaches a plea deal over mishandling classified national security information and intends to plead guilty, which means he could finally get locked up. President Trump announced that he will nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to permanently lead the DOJ full-time. Marco Rubio trolled Democrats during a hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday, and President Trump hilariously destroyed CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a wave of biological, political, and security threats hitting the US and the world simultaneously, from flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas to a jihad-sympathizing doctor now headed to Congress. The screwworm confirmation in LaPryor, TX is the opening shot of what Bryan says will be a serious blow to America's beef supply, compounded by historic drought across the West and Midwest that is forcing ranchers to sell off their best herds. On the national security front, Bryan breaks down the newly elected New Jersey Democrat with documented ties to the Blind Sheikh and an al-Qaeda front operation in Bosnia, and explains why he believes the Democratic Party's embrace of this candidate represents something far more dangerous than politics as usual. Plus, Bryan covers the Iran-Hezbollah ceasefire unraveling in real time, a mysterious group of men working through New York City's sewer system in the middle of the night, a superseding DOJ indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center revealing decades of manufactured hate, and a major geopolitical win in the Pacific as the Solomon Islands moves to sever its ties with China.

Today's Headlines: California and Iowa held their primaries Tuesday — Becerra and Hilton are leading California's governor's race with Steyer's money in a distant third, Karen Bass is holding first in LA's mayoral race with Spencer Pratt in second, and several Beverly Hills residents showed up to vote for Pratt only to discover they don't live in Los Angeles, perfect. Missing New Jersey congressman Tom Kean Jr. — absent for three months — won his uncontested primary anyway, with Trump endorsing him and calling him "tireless," while Kean remains well enough to execute stock trades but not apparently to show up to work. The House passed a War Powers Resolution requiring Trump to withdraw from Iran unless Congress authorizes the war — four Republicans defecting. Iranian drones struck Kuwait's main airport yesterday killing at least one person, and Trump defined the current ceasefire as "when you're shooting in a more moderate manner." The Kushner Albania situation escalated to over 100,000 protesters, a government corruption investigation, and frozen bank accounts tied to the land company behind their resort, over how ecologically protected land was quietly reclassified to clear the way for their development. George Santos is under investigation by the DOJ and CFTC for betting against his own State of the Union attendance on Kalshi after publicly tweeting he'd be there to inflate the odds — which is the most on-brand insider trading imaginable. And finally, DOGE whistleblower Daniel Berulis filed a defamation lawsuit against Elon Musk, revealing that less than a week after his whistleblower report was published, someone cut the brakes on his car, removed the airbag sensor, and left fingerprints inside — with the only entities that had his address on record being his utilities and the Office of Personnel Management, which DOGE had already taken over.

Trump tells Miranda Devine at the New York Post he wants acting AG Todd Blanche to stay permanently, and Aaron says the DOJ's activity record makes it hard to argue with. California primary results are still trickling in with Steve Hilton leading the Republican field at 27.8% and Spencer Pratt trailing Karen Bass by only about four points with votes still outstanding, and Aaron breaks down the campaign lessons Pratt's run already offers any candidate willing to learn them. Secretary of State Marco Rubio methodically dismantles Senator Jacky Rosen's gotcha question about the Pakistan negotiations, then tells Congressman Tim McBride that Greenland is part of Denmark "for now" — and Aaron says that was the best line of the week. Iowa's general election matchup is now set: Republican Ashley Hinson faces Paralympic gold medalist and Democrat Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's retiring Senate seat, and Aaron closes with a deep dive on what Zach Lahn's populist anti-big-ag message means for Iowa politics and why it might quietly split the Democratic coalition in November.

Republican voters in Iowa rejected President Trump's pick for governor in last night's primary, a rare moment of pushback as voters in six states set up key November matchups including House races that could decide control of Congress. The Justice Department is scrapping President Trump's nearly $1.8 billion dollar anti-weaponization fund after sustained bipartisan backlash, though the DOJ says part of the IRS settlement shielding Trump and his family from past tax investigations still stands. And President Trump has named Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence despite his complete lack of intelligence experience, drawing skepticism even from Senate Republicans.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Megan Pratz, Anna Yukhananov, Rebekah Metzler, Mohamad ElBardicy and Lindsay Totty.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Stacey Abbott.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffle exposes widespread government fraud including $200 billion in suspected fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program loans that were distributed under the Biden administration. Loeffler breaks down the SBA's success with accountability, which has already returned $22 billion to the Treasury and referred over 562,000 borrowers to the DOJ. Loeffler reveals how the lack of guardrails, such as verifying birth date and citizenship, has also allowed funds to flow to overseas syndicates. Finally, she touts the Trump-era deregulation and tax cuts for fuelling record business formations, and the Trump Saving accounts for benefiting future generations and free enterprise.In the second segment, John welcomes President Trump-endorsed Iowa Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks, who won her GOP primary race Tuesday night. She gives an inside look at significant spending in recent elections, including a $27 million race in 2024. She also criticizes her Democratic opponent for voting against senior tax breaks, supporting radical gender policies in school sports, and opposing law enforcement. In addition, Miller-Meeks highlights the positive impacts of President Trump's policies, including border closure and the Working Families Tax Cut, while underscoring the importance of dismantling Biden-era government weaponization and COVID-related censorship. Lastly, John welcomes Dr. Chad Walding, co-founder of Native Path, who discusses the misconceptions around dehydration, particularly for older adults. Dr. Walding explains how dehydration symptoms such as low energy, brain fog and dizziness can be mistaken for signs of aging. And she emphasizes that hydration involves more than just drinking water. It''s about the body's ability to absorb and utilize fluids effectively, which declines with age. He introduces Native Hydrate, a product designed to optimize hydration with electrolytes and amino acids, that is made with natural ingredients and cuts out the high sugar content in traditional sports drinks.

Spencer Pratt just laid out his aggressive plan to take down failing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in the November runoff. If you're tired of woke leadership destroying American cities, this is a must-watch. Reality TV star and Republican fighter Spencer Pratt advanced to face Karen Bass head-to-head after strong primary results. In his victory speech, Pratt made it crystal clear: He's coming for the incumbent with everything he's got. From cleaning up the homeless crisis that has turned Los Angeles into a nightmare to holding officials accountable for the devastating wildfires that destroyed homes — including his own — Pratt is promising common-sense solutions over endless progressive excuses. We also cover: Marco Rubio DESTROYS the Left. Candace Owens' family vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia. DOJ scraps Trump's Anti-Weaponization Fund. James Talarico says God is not a Christian. Tom Homan is back, and this time he's ANGRY. This November runoff represents a real chance for conservatives and fed-up independents to reject radical Democrat governance in one of America's biggest cities. Pratt isn't afraid to call out the failures, debate Bass any time, and fight for real change.

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: Progressive candidate Dr. Adam Hamawy wins the Democratic primary in New Jersey's deep-blue 12th congressional district in an otherwise muted primary day for leftist candidates. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed gives a perfect response to an MS NOW reporter asking him what he would say to Jewish Americans who are anxious about his critiques of AIPAC and Israel. Ben Freeman, author and director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute, joins the show for a conversation about his piece in Responsible Statecraft on congress trying to quietly intertwine U.S. and Israeli militaries. Congress is voting on this tomorrow so call your Congresspeople to tell them to In the Fun Half: Fox News posts Wisconsin's DSA-backed candidate for Governor Francesca Hong's platform in attempt to fearmonger but it backfires because her platform is common sense and pro-worker. At a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) showcases just how big of a sycophant Marco Rubio is by playing videos of Trump falling asleep during Cabinet meetings, only for Rubio to flatly deny that the president is asleep in the footage. Dan Goldman gives a horrible performance in his debate against Brad Lander. Goldman tries to attack Lander on his record on Israel when the day before Goldman had marched alongside Israeli terrorist Bezalel Smotrich in the Israel Day Parade. George Santos is under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading in the least surprising news story in history. We continue our weeklong reflection upon Dave Rubin's surrounded. All that and more.

In breaking news, a little followed Federal Case involving a First Amendment public interest group, may have just broken the DOJ's criminal case against Former FBI Director James Comey, as Judge Randolph Moss ruled that flying a flag reading “86-47” is NOT a call to do violence or assassinate Trump: it's a call for his ouster by impeachment!

Today's Headlines: The Department of Agriculture is dealing with a bedbug infestation in the offices of the agency responsible for containing invasive pests. Yes, you read that right. Todd Blanche confirmed to Congress — not under oath, refusing to put it in writing — that the DOJ is dropping the Traitor Fund, while clarifying that the part protecting Trump and his family from IRS audits remains in effect, which was clearly the point all along, and a federal judge revived Trump's IRS lawsuit to investigate whether the whole arrangement was "premised on deception." The Trump administration hired a convicted January 6th rioter — 19 when he stormed the Capitol — to work in the Defense Department's irregular warfare and counterterrorism section, one of the most sensitive portfolios in the government, and named Bill Pulte — a family friend with zero government experience whose father is in the Epstein files — as acting director of national intelligence, using "acting" specifically to skip Senate confirmation. New Jersey's attorney general sued GEO Group, the private contractor operating Delaney Hall detention center, over inhumane conditions and demanding health inspections — GEO holds a $1 billion ICE contract. The Kushner family is planning a $1.4 billion luxury hotel complex off the Albanian coast, which the prime minister loves and locals are actively protesting. And finally, Democratic congressman Jimmy Gomez — chairman of Congress's "Dad Caucus" — admitted to cheating on his wife after the New York Post outed him, he denied it, and CNN reported the House Ethics Committee is already investigating him for sexual misconduct, completing a full humiliation arc in under 48 hours.

Today's Guest Host: Mary Walter -The U.S. military demonstrates that “dead in the water” is more than a figure of speech, using a precision Hellfire missile to park an Iranian-bound tanker exactly where it sits. Mary is impressed and also relieved nobody was still hanging around the engine room. -Mary dives into EPA grant controversies, wondering how organizations with tiny financial footprints suddenly become trusted stewards of billions of taxpayer dollars. Stacey Abrams' name keeps popping up, and so do Mary's eyebrows. -Vanilla Ice refuses to melt under political pressure, declaring that America's 250th birthday should be a celebration, not a partisan food fight. He happily volunteers to spread love, perform music, and stay out of political warfare. -Former NSC chief of staff and CIA analyst Fred Fleitz joins Mary for an extended discussion on newly discovered DOJ and FBI “burn bag” documents, suggesting a patriotic insider may have preserved evidence tied to Crossfire Hurricane and the Trump investigations.

As judges continue to weigh in, President Trump is finding that despite his litigious efforts, he can't always get what he wants. Mary and Andrew begin this week with the latest fallout from his $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, which is now under judicial review after a group of federal judges filed a motion arguing that the original lawsuit that prompted the fund was “itself a fraud on the court.” This prompted the news, first reported by Axios, that the Trump administration would abandon the fund altogether. Mary and Andrew tie this into another instance in which the administration is losing in the courts, with Judge Mehta's decision refusing to dismiss the indictment of Oath Keepers' leader Stewart Rhodes, among others whose sentences were commuted. They then move to a ruling ordering the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center facade, a setback in his attempt to reshape the renowned preforming arts center. And after an update on the criminal case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Andrew shares some insight into his recent New York Times op-ed which offers a path to stop vindictive prosecutions altogether.

California voters head to the polls today in a statewide primary election. Kevin Rector of the Los Angeles Times joins to discuss the biggest races. It was a consequential day for the country’s leading AI companies. Anthropic filed for an initial public offering, the Wall Street Journal reports. Meanwhile, NPR reports that the state of Florida sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, over safety concerns. The Supreme Court will soon rule in two significant cases that could have major implications for November’s midterm elections. Jan Wolfe of Reuters explains what’s at stake in each of the decisions. Plus, why the White House could soon drop the DOJ “anti-weaponization” fund, Hezbollah and Israel agreed to a partial ceasefire, and why the white picket fence is disappearing from American yards. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Did a staggering 0-5 record for the Trump and Todd Blanche DOJ for the week May 22-May29, spell the end of Blanche's ability to not only practice law in the future, but to obtain enough votes in the Senate to keep the AG job? Popok takes a close look at what defense lawyers now MUST argue in every one of their cases based on last week's results, and how the dam is breaking against Trump's DOJ as courts consider whether he regularly commits Fraud on the Court and should be sanctioned.

Good news about Donald's slush fund, the status of the Kennedy Center, the CFPB, offshore wind energy, gun-safety, an Ebola vaccine, and more. Donald is NOT invincible. The latest from Donald's janky Freedom 250 nonsense. Donald's contractors spilled fuel all over the National Mall. Donald and "the yips." Donald might be trying to throw Netanyahu under a bus. The negotiations have apparently ended because Donald is bored. Did we "leave their military alone"? Support Susie Madrak's GoFundMe. DOJ is walking back the criminal investigation of E.

Today's Headlines: The Traitor Fund is effectively dead for now — the DOJ said it "disagrees strongly" but will abide by the court's ruling, which is the closest thing to a clean win we've gotten in a while. Trump's America 250 birthday celebration continues to implode, with a competing Power to the People Festival announced for October 3rd featuring Springsteen, Joan Baez, and Dave Matthews, while the UFC fight at the White House is still on but now requires attending service members to meet a waist-to-height ratio under .55, and the National Park Service is spending $5 million on a no-bid contract to gold-plate four bronze horse statues near the Lincoln Memorial, which is giving Saddam Hussein's living room. Trump reportedly told Netanyahu on a bad phone call that "you're fucking crazy, you'd be in prison if it weren't for me, everybody hates Israel because of this" — accurate — and Netanyahu pulled back on planned Beirut strikes, with Lebanon's parliament speaker saying Hezbollah is ready for a full ceasefire with Israel, though the US bombed Iranian drone sites yesterday and a cargo ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, so "ceasefire" continues to mean whatever anyone needs it to mean. Florida's attorney general sued OpenAI and Sam Altman for marketing ChatGPT without adequately warning of its dangers, citing its alleged role in mass shootings, suicide encouragement, and helping a murder suspect dispose of bodies — and Anthropic filed its IPO the same day at a $965 billion valuation, because timing is everything. And finally, a second man named Dan Sullivan entered the Alaska Senate race against incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan with no policies and no party affiliation, just a stated goal of unseating the other Dan Sullivan, which is either a Democratic ploy or the most chaotic campaign launch of the cycle.

Kevin Mack, the new president of Via Licensing Alliance, joins Eli for the Clause 8 season finale.Kevin talks about Via's plans to build its next patent pools around "de facto" standards — technology the market adopted on its own, with no standards body behind it — which would push collaborative licensing into territory it has never touched. Mack also takes a hard look at the royalty-free models spreading through tech and AI, from AV1 to the new Shared AI License Foundation (SAIL), argues that "free" rarely stays free, and explains why he's optimistic about where the patent system is heading.Kevin and Eli also discuss:*Via's model and the "tipping point" that turns a pool from a few licensors into thousands of licensees*"De facto" standards: pooling patents for technology no standards body ever blessed*Leadership turnover at Via, the HEVC pool's move to Access Advance, and a new strategy-and-growth group*The push into semiconductors, including a new DRAM memory program*AV1, SAIL, and why Mack thinks royalty-free rarely stays free*Whether AI patents are as "foundational" as advertised — and why "AI is not new"*Efficient infringement, patents as property rights, and why companies ultimately take a license*The mood out of Via's Rome summit and a US patent system tilting back toward ownersNotable names, companies & standardsPeople: Kevin Mack (president, Via Licensing Alliance); Heath Hoglund (former Via president); John Amster (Jamster Capital; RPX co-founder)Organizations: Via Licensing Alliance (Via LA), MPEG LA, Dolby, Access Advance, Alliance for Open Media, Shared AI License Foundation (SAIL), WIPO (PatentScope), DOJ, USPTOSAIL founders / board (public): Anthropic, Genentech, IBM, Meta, Microsoft; board observers eBay and TD Bank Group; members include Block and FigmaStandards & technologies: AAC, AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265), AV1, MPEG-2, Qi wireless charging, DRAM memory, SEP / FRANDDisclaimer This is a public episode.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Doofus of the Day: Alexis Wilkins, girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel. She's filed a bumptious defamation suit against MSNOW for reporting that she asked her security detail to drive her drunk pals home. Like her boyfriend, Wilkins is represented by MAGA lawyer Jesse Binnall. Maybe they got a sweetheart package deal?   The New York Times reports that the Trump administration has lost 10,000 lawyers, 2,500 at the Justice Department alone. No one wants to put the DOJ on their resume, or sign up to work environmental cases and then find themselves seconded to handle immigration. This has been a boon for state law enforcement agencies, which have their pick of newbie prosecutors.   And the government filed a superseding indictment of former NBA point guard Terry Rozier, who is accused of fixing games for online bets.   MAIN SHOW:   Trump's slush fund is dead … maybe. Was it the judge in Florida potentially reopening his fake lawsuit against the IRS to explore the possibility of Rule 11 sanctions against the lawyers? Was it the judge in Virginia imposing a temporary restraining order on dispensing money? Or was it the refusal of congressional Republicans to eat the sh*t sandwich on command?   Both Kalshi and the Trump administration have sued Minnesota seeking to invalidate its new ban on prediction markets in the state. Is Kalshi a gambling site or some kind of securities exchange?   And Judge Chris Cooper ruled that Trump cannot just slap his name on the Kennedy Center and shut it down on command. Fiduciary duty applies, even if you're a MAGA board member. Naturally, the president is taking the ruling in stride.    Wilkins v.

Mea Culpa welcomes back legendary politician turned political analyst, Michael Steele. Steele made history when he became the first African-American candidate to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, where he served as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007, and when he was chosen to be the first African-American chairperson of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011. Steele's abilities as a communicator and commentator have been showcased daily on MSNBC where he has become a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. He's also appeared on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show to name a few. In addition to his work in television, Steele can be heard each week on his radio show on SiriusXM or on the Michael Steele Podcast which has become a must listen for those on both sides of the aisle. He joins me today as former President Trump awaits news charges from the DOJ and special prosecutor Jack Smith and much, much more.

As Trump puts a blue Texas in reach, Harry talks with Jonathan Alter, David A. Graham, and Senator Heidi Heitkamp to discuss the fall's premier Senate race and the latest outrages from the DOJ. Should Democrats go all out to beat scandal-plagued Ken Paxton? Or does an obsession with Texas distract from other, less flashy pickup chances elsewhere? Can Trump's “self-deal steal” survive sudden gusts of political and legal headwinds? And why is the DOJ now reportedly targeting E. Jean Carroll, a private citizen?Mentioned in this episode: Jonathan's Substack: https://oldgoats.substack.com/David's reporting: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/david-a-graham/Harry's latest column: https://harrylitman.substack.com/p/not-too-shabbyHarry's conversation with Congressman Jamie Raskin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7rpqMubPEQ Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund established by the Department of Justice has hit a setback. The DOJ said Monday they will abide by a court ruling temporarily pausing payouts that could have gone to Jan. 6 defendants and other Trump supporters.
