With President Trump's crackdown intensifying in Washington, D.C., he lashed out angrily at the media for describing him as a “dictator.” In this same rant, he did not reassure D.C. residents and exaggerated wildly about crime there, suggesting people should thank him for his efforts. As observers noted, Trump clearly meant people should mute criticism of his militarization of cities simply because he claims they're needed to reassert control. We talked to legal commentator Joyce Vance, who writes well about this on her Civil Discourse Substack and is author of the new book Giving Up Is Unforgiveable. She explains how Trump's use of manufactured pretexts is worsening on many fronts, why this itself is an alarming threat to self rule, and how the opposition should respond, noting it's imperative for disengaged voters to “wake up.” This episode was recorded before Trump and D.C. reached an agreement limiting his control over the D.C. police, but the specifics remain unresolved, his use of the National Guard continues, and his broader threat to other cities has darkened.

Can disinformation really take down a democracy from the inside? This week's guest, Barbara McQuade, thinks so — and she's here to show us exactly how it's happening and what we can do about it.Barbara is a former U.S. Attorney, a law professor, an MSNBC legal analyst and the author of Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America, now out in paperback.We begin with breaking news that could directly affect our political landscape. A big chunk of the MAGA faithful are suddenly side-eyeing Trump over his failure to drop the long-promised Epstein file (does the public have a right to see it? Barbara has thoughts). She breaks down how our American system relies on the good faith of three branches — and what happens when any one of them stops playing by the rules.Barbara explains the Squid Strategy: imagine a squid firing ink at a predator to obfuscate and slip away: that's Trump making wild statements to change the subject when the heat is on. We talk about the liar's dividend, that neat trick where so much fake news is swirling that important facts get waved away.She pulls back the curtain on how Trump built the coalition that resulted in the Big Harmful Bill. It consists of: a working-class MAGA base, the evangelical right, and billionaires. Trump does the bidding of big business while kissing up to Christian Extremists and feeding his base conspiracy theories that keep them eating their rage right out of his hand.Barbara does find hope in history: other countries have seen strongmen rise and fall when the promises ran dry and the citizens remained vigilant. She gives us her best advice for cracking Trump's hold on friends and family (it involves empathetic listening, not doomscrolling).We also get into Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — mend it, don't end it — and why unregulated social media is the Wild West. We talk spon-con, paywalls, knowledge gaps, and how your news feed might be failing you.A cautionary tale, a civics lesson, and a pep talk all rolled into one, strap in, there's still time to fight the ink cloud!In recommendations--Weezy: The series Outrageous on BritboxFritz: Apple TV+ Documentary, Bono: Stories of Surrender Path Points of Interest:Barbara McQuadeAttack From Within by Barbara McQuadeSisters-In-Law Podcastwith Barbara McQuade, Jill Wine Banks, Joyce Vance and Kimberly Atkins StohrBarbara McQuade on WikipediaBarbara McQuade on InstagramBarbara McQuade on XOutrageous on BritboxBono: Stories of Surrender on Apple TV+

What qualifies as an invasion at the U.S.-Mexico Border? In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down a federal judge's ruling blocking President Trump's effort to declare an “invasion” at the border to limit asylum access in the U.S. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss two recent Supreme Court decisions. The first case affords parents of elementary school children a religious exemption to school lessons on LGBTQ+ storybooks. And the second case cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport a group of immigrants to South Sudan, even though they have no connection to the country. Plus, Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing blowback following DOJ's disclosure that Jeffrey Epstein didn't have a “client list” and wasn't murdered.
