Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon Trump appeals to SCOTUS on birthright citizenship; Judge says some federal employees must be rehired The Trump Administration is now taking their appeal for a rethinking of birthright citizenship to the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court has not yet said if they will or will not take the case, but it’s a major update in this fight involving the 14th Amendment. At the same time, a federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration must also rehire thousands of probationary federal workers who were laid off. We begin Inside Sources discussing the latest on these two legal challenges. Putin agrees ‘in principle’ to temporary ceasefire with Ukraine New developments today in the potential for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia: Russian President Vladimir Putin said he agrees in principle with a U.S.-backed proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine. Okay... so what does that mean? And is that enough? Inside Sources delves into this update and analyzes whether or not it could lead to lasting peace. President Trump says he won’t back down on tariffs The back-and-forth on tariffs continues today. President Trump says he will impose a 200% tariff on all wine, champagne, and alcohol coming in from France and other EU countries. The only way he won't put these tariffs in place is if the European Union lifts the tariffs they put in place on the US ... in response to the President's tariffs that he put in place this week on steel and aluminum imports. The Inside Sources hosts discuss how these reciprocal tariffs are affecting consumer sentiment. Congressional check-in with Representative Mike Kennedy Utah's newest Congressman has been in office for just under three months, so we wanted to check in with him on how things are going. 3rd Congressional District Representative Mike Kennedy is sponsoring legislation with Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis that would block 'Wall Street' control of Utah's public lands.

Two methods of providing lunches to Utah’s students One teacher in Weber County is using TikTok -- and her smooth dance skills -- to raise money for school lunches. Kati Jo Christensen dances on her TikTok channel and raises funds to help pay off school lunch debt for students around the district. While she’s dancing around, we wait to see if Governor Cox will sign HB100, which would also help kids get free lunches at school.
Diving right into the thick of it, the latest episode of the Rapp Report tackles the intersection of faith and law, a topic that's as spicy as a Southern BBQ in July. Andrew Rapoport welcomes the insightful Davis Younts, a scholar blending his passion for Christianity with a sharp legal mind, to dissect the often contentious relationship between biblical principles and the American legal system. They kick off their chat by addressing the misconception that Christians should shy away from engaging with legal matters, especially regarding legislation that can impact the church and its congregants. Younts elaborates on how understanding faith and law is crucial, particularly in light of recent judicial decisions and the implications for religious freedom. With a sprinkle of humor and a hefty dose of thoughtful analysis, they navigate the complexities of how secular humanism reshapes societal norms and what that means for Christians called to stand firm in their beliefs amidst an ever-evolving legal landscape.Takeaways:The podcast explores the intersection of faith and the legal system, emphasizing that Christians should not shy away from engaging in legal matters. The guest, Davis Younts, stresses the importance of understanding Christian principles in shaping America's legal framework, citing the Bible's historical influences on the Constitution. They discuss the challenges Christians face in a secular world, where legal battles often arise around religious freedom and moral values. The conversation highlights the need for Christians to participate actively in public life and the legal system rather than retreating into silence during times of cultural upheaval.

A coalition of privacy defenders led by Lex Lumina and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a lawsuit on February 11 asking a federal court to stop the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from disclosing millions of Americans' private, sensitive information to Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). As the federal government is the nation's largest employer, the records held by OPM represent one of the largest collections of sensitive personal data in the country.Is this a big deal? Should we care? Joining Pam today is Stanford Law Professor Mark Lemley, an expert in intellectual property, patent law, trademark law, antitrust, the law of robotics and AI, video game law, and remedies. Lemley is of counsel with the law firm Lex Lumina and closely involved in the DOGE case. In this episode, Lemley overviews urgent privacy concerns that led to this lawsuit, laws such as the Privacy Act, and legal next steps for this case. The conversation shifts to the current political landscape, highlighting the unprecedented influence of Silicon Valley, particularly under the Musk administration. Lemley contrasts the agile, authoritative management style of Silicon Valley billionaires with the traditionally slow-moving federal bureaucracy, raising concerns about legality and procedural adherence. The conversation also touches on the demise of the Chevron doctrine and the possible rise of an imperial presidency, drawing parallels between the Supreme Court's and the executive branch's power grabs—and how Lemley's 2022 paper, "The Imperial Supreme Court," predicted the Court's trend towards consolidating power. This episode offers a compelling examination of how technological and corporate ideologies are influencing American law.Links:Mark Lemley >>> Stanford Law page“The Imperial Supreme Court” >>> Stanford Law publication pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>> Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00) The Rise of Executive Power(00:07:22) Concerns About Data Handling and Privacy(00:08:41) The Impact of Silicon Valley's Ethos on Government(00:14:01) The Musk Administration's Approach(00:18:01) The Role of the Supreme Court(00:24:43) Silicon Valley's Influence on Washington

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid welcomes Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on what Congress can do to rein in the worst of Donald Trump's executive orders. Plus, we will discuss Trump's increasingly disturbing plans to "take" Gaza and his insistence that Egypt and Jordan will take in all of Gaza's people, whether they—or the Gazans—want to or not. We also cover the latest battleground in Trump's push to transform the federal bureaucracy and expand executive power—efforts that seem to include Elon Musk, who, after being Trump's biggest campaign donor, now has his staff reportedly rifling through nearly every federal agency, allegedly cutting off funding to whatever they choose, often targeting the most vulnerable Americans, critics say. Meanwhile, Trump has gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, leaving Americans vulnerable to financial scams. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we explore the uncharted territory of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. Host Jessica Levinson, along with guest Lisa Mascaro, delve into the department's mission to overhaul federal operations and its legal uncertainties. We examine DOGE's drastic measures, including federal employee buyouts and the reduction of USAID, all under the influence of Musk. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Overview of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge): The episode delves into the establishment of a new entity known as the Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk. They explore what this department is meant to accomplish, how it is categorized (as a department or agency), and its power and influence. Legal and Political Dynamics Surrounding Doge: Lisa Mascaro highlights the legal challenges and political scrutiny faced by Doge. Questions are raised about the authority and legality of actions taken by this department. There is mention of the involvement of Vivek Ramaswamy in the initial establishment, and how this aligns with broader conservative goals of cutting back federal government size and spending.Congressional and Public Scrutiny: The initiative has sparked debates and raised questions in Congress and among the public. There are historical parallels with past governance styles, but nothing quite matches DOGE's scale and influence fueled by Musk's vast reach and resources.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica@lisamascaro
On Saturday, a federal judge blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff from accessing the Treasury Department's payment systems. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled that only “civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” may use the system, while special government employees are explicitly barred. The ruling will remain in place until at least this Friday, when another judge will hear arguments in a case brought by 19 Democratic state attorneys general challenging DOGE's access to the Treasury's system.

Denard ‘Drama' Butler, a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for racketeering after his involvement in a 2018 armed robbery—an event filmed by 6ix9ine. Labeled as a “hanger-on” in the gang's circle, Butler faced serious legal consequences when Tekashi 6ix9ine cooperated with federal authorities, leading to major indictments. In this episode, Butler breaks his silence on life inside Nine Trey, how 6ix9ine snitched, his prison experience, and his path to redemption. He also shares how he's rebuilding his life after prison and warning others about the dangers of gang life. #NineTrey #6ix9ine #Snitching #GangLife #TrueCrime #StreetPolitics #PrisonStories #HipHopDrama Connect with Denard Drama Butler: IG: https://www.instagram.com/obhbklyn_drama_bentley?igsh=MnR6MXpsYnhuanJ1 Thank you to MAGIC MIND for sponsoring this episode!
