Today's Headlines: Over Memorial Day weekend, a judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's move to bar Harvard from admitting international students, after the school sued over sweeping demands for protest-related records involving 7,000 students. Another judge struck down Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block, citing constitutional violations. A lesser-known provision in Trump's House-passed “Big Beautiful Bill” drew alarm for limiting courts' ability to enforce their own rulings unless plaintiffs can afford to post financial bonds. In international news, a U.S.-German citizen was charged with attempting to firebomb a U.S. embassy office in Tel Aviv. He had posted threats online and left behind a backpack of Molotov cocktails. Trump briefly reignited a trade war Friday, threatening steep tariffs on EU goods and smartphones, before walking it back after weekend talks. The Treasury also announced it will stop circulating new pennies by 2026, saving $56 million a year. FEMA denied North Carolina's request for $2 billion in hurricane cleanup funds. Meanwhile, the Pentagon accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar to serve as a temporary Air Force One, and the Army will throw Trump a $90 million military parade for his 79th birthday.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a criminal investigation of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

This week, Canadians didn't just politely shuffle into voting booths: they kicked the door down and destroyed Conservative leader and longtime MAGA fanboy Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat to Bruce Fanjoy (who we're now, quite literally, major fans of. More on him in this episode!) Meanwhile, here in the U.S., specifically kleptocrat-besieged New York City, we've got our own political swamp to drain. Mayor Eric Adams, who once likened himself to Biden, now seems more Nixonian, dodging Department of Justice corruption charges by reportedly cozying up to Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson. The result? NYC turned into an ICE command center for Trump's creeping authoritarianism, part of a wannabe-gulag stretching from New York to El Salvador. On this week's Gaslit Nation, Andrea and Terrell Starr of the Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack celebrate Canada's heroic stand and urge the world to focus on NYC's upcoming Democratic mayoral primary June 24, one of the most pivotal fronts in the global fight against kleptocracy and for the soul of America. The Left must reclaim “socialism” as quality of life advocacy, building better schools, healthcare that won't bankrupt you, and a social safety net for all, not just those who can afford one. We highlight two standout challengers: Comptroller Brad Lander, a fierce Ukraine supporter who led the effort to divest the City's pension from Russian investments, and Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who led a hunger strike for taxi driver debt relief. The question isn't just who can beat Adams, who's running as an independent, and predator Andrew Cuomo, desperate for a comeback. It's who has the record to lead New York in resisting Trump and dismantling the oligarchy. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Send us a textA 15 min sample of Ep 227, Trump's Justice Dept document drop of the JFK assassination from March 18, 2025, I do a segment on the juiciest observations of these files. I simplify what was important about these 18,000 pages recently released and the more exciting views on what secrets they held by who was mentioned in them and who was not! On the Patreon side of the show, I take you through The Baldwins Ep 2,3,4 (all the public episodes to date out of the 7). I explain to and share with you the highlights as we search for more clues on the existence of the alleged wedding contract terms presented by "stalker" Genevieve Sabourin 13 years ago with Alec Baldwin. As you know, I believe the contract was signed by Hilaria and this explains a lot of their odd behavior together. We find out Hilaria's reasons for her justifying always interacting weirdly with the paps. Baldwin shares his child hood trauma with his famous brothers. We discuss his behind the scenes during the Rust trial. Alec's famous temper with the paps and his family specifically Ireland Baldwin (Kim Bassinger's daughter with Alec). There was juice in this Max show and I wanted to make sure we don't miss it. Join the Patreon and have fun chatting with all of us on reality TV and more xo it's only $6 a month: https://www.patreon.com/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo learn more about sponsorships, email DDDWpodcast@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

My friend Lisa Graves served in the Justice Dept under Attorneys General Janet Reno and John Ashcroft in both the Clinton and GWBush administrations. She's been chief counsel for nominations under then Senate Judiciary Chair Patrick Leahy, and her CV has many more examples of her legal bona fides. These days, Lisa is Executive Director of the watchdog group True North Research, but she appears regularly on this show in her personal capacity as a citizen, not representing any organization.With all of the actions taken by this new horrific administration over the last 25 days, what I understand is that the vast majority of them are not only illegal but unconstitutional. Today, Lisa Graves returns to the show to try to help me make some sense out of what's going on.

 Day 22 in the second Trump administration and the Justice Dept. has ordered the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York to dismiss all charges against Eric Adams.

Had Attorney General Merrick Garland moved faster, there's a pretty good chance that now President-elect Donald Trump would be facing serious consequences in the 2020 election interference case. The report by Special Council Jack Smith was released early today and indicates that Smith had enough evidence to convict Trump. Smith also writes that Trump‘s reelection and Constitutional protections for presidents make it impossible to move forward with the prosecution of that case. Smith also wrote that evidence shows the January 6th Capitol attack was Trump's doing. We will welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show.We'll check in on Southern California as a new fire in Ventura County cropped up in strong winds yesterday.
