Texas Republicans are busy gerrymandering their already gerrymandered congressional map, and other red states are looking to do the same—all aimed at blocking the Dems from winning back the House and shielding Donald Trump at all costs. Meanwhile, the DOJ is trying to get state voter rolls and is laying the groundwork for interfering in the midterms. Democrats need to fight fire with fire in blue states. Plus, the cowardice of Big Law, the power politics behind the Emil Bove confirmation, and the pathetic deference Republicans are showing to convicted sex crimes monster Ghislaine Maxwell.

In this explosive episode, we analyze the latest document release from DNI Tulsi Gabbard, revealing Obama's order for a new Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) alleging Russia hacked the 2016 election to favor Trump. Declassified files expose lowered IC standards to craft this narrative, despite Obama's denials. We explore the Washington Post's role in leaking fabricated intelligence to support the hoax. Meanwhile, Sen. Dick Durbin claims over 1,000 FBI agents are reviewing Epstein files to remove Trump's name. In other news, activist judges remove Alina Habba, prompting AG Pam Bondi to fire her replacement. Marc Elias loses his Wyoming voter ID lawsuit, and the DOJ fires the wife of an anti-ICE app creator.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, attorney Marc Elias predicts the actual reason for Trump's bizarre Epstein rant.Then, on the rest of the menu, Texas governor Abbott won't release his emails with Elon Musk because they are of a “private nature, not of public interest and potentially embarrassing;” chasing bizarre theories becomes a major White House time suck; and, Trump refused to leave the stage after presenting Chelsea with the FIFA Club World Cup trophy, baffling the London team.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where European Union trade ministers meet to forge a strategy after Trump's surprise 30% tariffs on America's largest trade partner; and, the largest-ever war-fighting drills in Australia are underway and expected to attract the attention of Chinese spy ships.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!"I was never a spy.

The show opens with additional thoughts on White House doctor Kevin O'Connor choosing to plead the 5th and claim doctor-patient confidentiality. Unfortunately, that last isn't really applicable, and, as we mentioned yesterday, providing full immunity wipes out the former. Attorney Alan Dershowitz says there is definitely and Epstein file because he needed to use it to defend himself. However, in so doing, he had to sign a non-disclosure, so he cannot reveal any names. Batya Ungar-Sargon agrees with my premise that it's a myth to believe Americans will not do the work that illegals are doing. It's a fallacy that keeps wages down and hurts the working class. This brings me to a literary moment about Milton's, “Paradise Lost,” where Lucifer said he would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. It dovetails nicely into a comment from Stephen Miller about the desire to flood the Western nations with illegals in order to crush them. Sean Spicer weighs-in on how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't know the difference between writing a legal argument and a Op-Ed. While we are on judicial activism, another district judge has decided anyone born here from illegals belongs in a protected class and has found a workaround to the SCOTUS ruling from a week ago. Dollar Store 44 refused to acknowledge that the calls for blood in the streets is coming from his own party. Stacey Abrams spreads fear porn. Marc Elias is worried about the call to criminally investigate James Comey and John Brennan. This leads to a discussion over color revolutions. We close with three positive items: Trump is imposing a 50% tariff on Brazil, Marco Rubio is imposing sanctions on the UN's Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and we just locked in a deal for the US to be Germany's single-largest provider of liquified natural gas.

One of Donald Trump's priorities when he returned to the White House was to target law firms that he felt had wronged him. While some immediately caved to his demands, others fought back... and won. We're joined by Marc Elias, preeminent election lawyer and founder of Democracy Docket, to discuss Trump using his second term to settle personal scores, abuse his power, and put a strain on the judicial system in America. Marc and Al discuss the growing authoritarianism and how the recent Supreme Court decisions won't slow it down. But with the unpopularity of Trump's disgusting immigration policy to his handling of the economy to The Big Beautiful Bill, we look with hope towards the midterms.

John is joined by Marc Elias, the attorney whom Donaled Trump has cast as his bete noire in the legal profession, to discuss the president's war on the judiciary, the bar, and the rule of law itself.

Marc also tells John why he hasn't done the same despite being plenty worried by Trump's singling him out as a “very bad" person and a “thug".
