On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The Opposition. From the court of public opinion to the judiciary itself, the pushback against President Trump's war on the rule of law is growing, including at the Supreme Court, which early this morning, blocked the Trump Administration from carrying out more deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, for now. Lee Gelernt, the ACLU's lead counsel in the case, joins me to discuss this consequential case and the response we just got from the administration. Rising Up. As anti-Trump demonstrators take to the streets across the country again, I'll ask Rep. Madeleine Dean why her packed town hall this week moved her to tears. And Never Surrender. Harvard alum and Washington Post columnist, David Ignatius, tells us how the elite university sent an important message, not just to other academic institutions, but to the entire country, when it stood up to Trump. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

The Trump administration announces new exemptions to reciprocal tariffs, including smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics, bringing U.S. tech companies back from the edge of a cliff, for now. But tariff policies still threaten other American businesses, not to mention faith in the U.S. economy. Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan joins me to talk about that, and the Republican spending plan that threatens the social safety net. Retribution Orders. Another stunning legal week, with the President using executive authority to target private citizens, while Supreme Court rulings leave room for the White House to defy the judicial branch.

The topic of this episode is, “What does a member of the House of Representatives do all day?”It is not easy for the average voter to imagine how a member of Congress spends each day. We see images of them standing in the ornate chamber, talking with voters, and there's no shortage of videos of them delivering speeches or denunciations of presidents or the other party. Some polling data indicates that many voters think legislators have cushy, part-time jobs and have legion staff doting upon them.But is life in Congress really like that?My guest is Derek Kilmer, who has written a chapter on this subject for Casey Burgat's new edited volume, We Hold These "Truths": How to Spot the Myths that are Holding America Back (Authors Equity, 2025).And who better to talk about this topic than Derek Kilmer. He is a former member of Congress. He represented Washington state's 6th district from 2013 to 2025. Mr. Kilmer served on the House of Representatives' Appropriations Committee, which helps decide where federal spending goes. Listeners may also remember that Mr. Kilmer also co-led the House's Modernization Committee, and he previously was on this podcast to explain the various things that were being done to make Congress work better.Click here to read the full transcript.

Understanding the Voting Rights Case from Louisiana at the Supreme Court

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica examines a pivotal voting rights case before the Supreme Court concerning Louisiana's congressional district lines. The case touches on the conflict between the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Jessica reviews the legal arguments, reflects on past decisions like Shelby County, and explores the case's broader implications. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Voting Rights Act and Supreme Court Case: Jessica Levinson delves into a Supreme Court case concerning the Voting Rights Act, highlighting a challenge over Louisiana's congressional districting. The essential question is whether the state violated the Act by diluting voting power or violated the Fourteenth Amendment by using race excessively in district creation.Louisiana District Lines Controversy: After the census, Louisiana's district lines came under scrutiny for having only one majority minority district, leading to lawsuits. The state later redrew the map to include two majority minority districts, sparking a new suit from non-African American voters claiming the excessive use of race in drawing these lines.Fourteenth Amendment and Equal Protection Clause: The tension between complying with the Voting Rights Act and the constraints of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause is a major theme. The conversation touches on recent affirmative action cases, emphasizing the court's perspective that race should not be the predominant factor.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica

American politics are polarizing, but in no place are they more polarizing than in the Tennessee State House.  Two years ago, the Republican-ruled supermajority expelled two Democratic lawmakers after they led spectators in a chant “Gun control now!” and “No action, no peace!” The controversy was ignited by the Covenant School Shooting and Republican lawmakers' failure to enact gun reform. Since then, the divide has only deepened. But lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree it's about more than expulsions. In this episode of the Spirit of Bipartisanship, hosts Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller sit down with Republican Reps. Kevin Vaughan and Ryan Williams and Democratic Rep. Bo Mitchell to unpack the partisanship in Tennessee's State House.

Josh Weil, Democratic candidate for Florida's 6th Congressional District, joins Deep Dive to discuss what could be one of the most consequential special elections in American history. A public school teacher and single father, Weil explains why his April 1st race represents more than just a local contest – it's potentially the first domino in Democrats' path to regaining control of the House.With Republicans currently holding the slimmest House majority in historical memory, the stakes couldn't be higher. Weil articulates how flipping a seat that went Republican by 32 points would send shockwaves through the GOP, demonstrating that there is no job security from Donald Trump's endorsement. This message could fundamentally alter how Republican representatives approach their roles, forcing them to be more responsive to constituents rather than blindly following party leadership.What makes Weil's campaign particularly fascinating is his embrace of progressive policies in a traditionally conservative district. He challenges conventional wisdom about Democratic messaging, arguing that the party has failed in messaging for over a decade while offering concrete examples of missed opportunities to connect with working-class voters. Weil doesn't hold back criticism of his own party, particularly Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's inability to extract concessions during recent negotiations, demonstrating his commitment to honest assessment over partisan loyalty.The conversation weaves between local campaign strategy and national implications, highlighting how special elections occurring outside the typical cycle allow candidates to focus more directly on constituent concerns. As Weil puts it, drawing from his 13 years teaching in Title I schools.Whether you're in Florida's 6th district or simply concerned about the future of American democracy, this episode provides critical context for understanding what's at stake on April 1st.Josh Weil for CongressGay Valimont for CongressVote in Florida-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

www.commsolutionsmn.com- When Biden was president, the press used to complain that they didn't have any access to the leader of the free world. You'd think that they'd celebrate the openness and transparency of Trump's administration, where he and his various secretaries seem to live in front of the camera. Yet, all they do is lie, cheat, and complain. The recent clean, continuing resolution to fund the government has passed through congress and been signed by the President. Why was it so hard to get it done? Why were the Democrats so bent on shutting down the government? They have blamed the Republicans on every past threat of a shutdown, but were trying to blame this shutdown on the GOP as well... even though they were the ones pushing the bill to keep it open. The House of Representative (until now) has been 67 Republicans to 66 Democrats. The Republicans have submitted a number of bills to the House, and have had a majority, but due to MN law, they need 68 votes no matter what, which is more than a simple majority. The Democrats are beholden to their Queer Caucus. If it doesn't further the goals of this group, per Leigh Finke and Brion Curran, then the DFL is too scared to move forward. Despite its popularity, not one Dem voted to disallow men in women's sports. The DFL is the party of men dominating women. HF3 and HF23 are anti-fraud bills. One passed that allowed for greater audit capacity, which failed, and greater protection for whistleblowers, which passed. The bi-annual budget will be a big one to get passed. Who will blink first and give up something big to get the budget through the objections of the other party. It's not looking good for anything to get done this session and that's okay with us. Let us know what you think!
