Réécoutez l'Happy Hour DJ de Lawless du mardi 28 octobre 2025
In a shockingly brazen move, President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him $230 million stemming from certain federal actions against him. Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a scalding letter to the White House demanding all internal communications on this shakedown. What struck us was the letter's forceful indictment of Trump's corruption and criminality: It denounced Trump's “blatantly illegal and unconstitutional effort to steal $230 million from the American people” and his “outrageous and shocking” effort to “shake down” the Treasury, labeling this straight-up “theft.” There's much more, and it made critical legal points as well. We talked to the University of Michigan's Leah Litman, author of Lawless, a book on the Supreme Court. We discuss Raskin's letter, the legal nitty-gritty of Trump's heist, how it exemplifies the MAGA movement more broadly, and how the Supreme Court brought us to this dangerous moment.

Lawless Cities, Radicalized Attacks: ICE Under Siege and the Failure of Justice Description In this episode, we break down the escalating attacks on ICE facilities across the U.S., highlighting how liberal-controlled cities have repeatedly failed to respond when agents are under siege. From Eugene and Portland to Chicago and Los Angeles, violent black bloc groups have surrounded federal buildings, leaving ICE personnel vulnerable and forcing federal intervention. We also explore the political and social fallout: the radicalization of left-wing extremists, the media narrative framing federal responses, and the controversial role of politicians in encouraging or ignoring these attacks. Joshua John, the Dallas shooter, is discussed as a case study of leftist extremism and antifa-inspired violence. Listeners will hear a detailed analysis of how these attacks tie into broader concerns about public safety, the politicization of law enforcement, and the challenges of maintaining order in “post-American” jurisdictions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone tracking domestic security, federal authority, and the growing divide between federal and local enforcement.
In this explosive episode, we break down the growing pattern of left-wing violence and lawlessness targeting ICE facilities across the country. From Eugene and Portland, Oregon to Chicago, federal agents are being forced to confront aggressive Antifa and anarchist groups while local police stand down under sanctuary city policies. We examine the dangerous political calculus behind these attacks, the real-life consequences for federal agents and communities, and the escalating tension that could spark wider unrest. This episode explores the dual justice system in action, where some are above the law while others face harsh enforcement, and what it could mean for America's future.

[7:35] With Saturn in Pisces, the focus returns to spiritual foundations, emotional boundaries, rather than that outer-focused, “let's get it done” quality of Aries. This return of Saturn to Pisces overlaps with eclipse season, which begins at the end of this week with a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Pisces, and the Solar Eclipse at 29 Virgo on September 21, making a close opposition to Saturn in Pisces.

It's not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what's left, it starts to look like a crime scene: decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.Listen to Lawless Planet: Wondery.fm/LawlessPlanetSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Crime is down in D.C., but Trump is using the pretext of an attempted carjacking of "Big Balls," the former 19-year-old DOGE employee, to take over the city's police department and deploy the National Guard. It's a threat to other blue cities, and an ominous sign ahead of 2026 and 2028. Meanwhile, the DOJ has appointed 'a special attorney' and empaneled grand juries to investigate Trump enemies Adam Schiff and Tish James. Plus, it's odd how JD never seems to defend Trump on Epstein, and Putin has already scored a psychological victory by the promise of being welcomed to the United States as an equal—rather than the war criminal he is. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Cathy's piece on the upcoming Alaska summit Bill in "Morning Shots" on how Vance keeps drawing attention to the Epstein matter
