Lets talk about Trump vs SCOTUS vs inflation vs the Fed....

The tightening of Donald Trump's authoritarian grip on power is in evidence this week in a series of legally dubious firings of top officials. We'll talk about the state of these standoffs and the one guardrail that will be hardest for Trump to break past; Dr Jennifer Layden, one of the top officials that resigned in protest from the CDC this week, speaks out about how the recent chaos at the agency will endanger public health; and this week's Velshi Banned Book Club meeting features “Rebecca” by Daphne du Maurier.

The tightening of Donald Trump's authoritarian grip on power is in evidence this week in a series of legally dubious firings of top officials. We'll talk about the state of these standoffs and the one guardrail that will be hardest for Trump to break past; Dr Jennifer Layden, one of the top officials that resigned in protest from the CDC this week, speaks out about how the recent chaos at the agency will endanger public health; we'll look at President Trump's record on violent crime as he threatens to deploy National Guard troops to the streets of an unwilling Chicago.

With the Republican Party simply being a vessel for Trump and his authoritarian inclinations, it's more important now than ever that the Democratic Party rise up and defend our democracy. But whether its national leadership is unwilling, or simply unable, to do so, they are largely not meeting this moment; the chaos unfolding at the CDC is a flashing red warning about the politicization of public health in America. But there is a critical lesson we can learn from recent history; and as the war in Gaza reaches day 694, Israel has now begun the initial stages of its operation to take control of Gaza City and more than 500,000 Palestinians are experiencing famine.

OA1185 - The rule of law has never been put more to the test in this country, and we do our best to keep up with at least a few of the most important decent developments. We begin with a brief review of the current status of wrongfully-deported Salvadoran asylum seeker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Why is the Trump administration desperately trying to re-deport this Central American man whom they already fully admit was deported to hell by mistake to… Uganda? Matt explains. Then: Did a federal judge really just shutter Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz”? We consider the history of this surprisingly significant swampland and why an environmental challenge to its existence was so much easier to win than one based in due process, while also celebrating a major win for native rights. Another major presidential first this week: for the first time in US history, the President has claimed the authority to fire a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Could this one decision really have global economic consequences? How much does it matter that Trump has done literally the one thing that the Supreme Court has ever told him *not* to do? We review some basics to try to understand the full magnitude of what this all means for our current moment before moving on to today's footnote: an outstanding decision from a Virginia federal judge which should stand as a model for how the judiciary can stand up to American fascism.

Trump's full frontal assault on our nation's financial system by taking steps to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve with flimsy allegations of “mortgage fraud” to gain majority control is in full display. We are on a fast track to the US Supreme Court to define whether unsubstantiated rumors of misconduct are enough to justify the required “for cause” firing of a Fed Reserve Governor who disagrees with Trump on monetary policy. Michael Popok outlines the next fast-track steps for Ms. Cook's counsel in Federal court, and exposes Bill Pulte's role behind the scenes in going after Democratic Black Leaders with scandalous allegations.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into how the Kamala Harris campaign's extravagant spending left the DNC paying her debts, President Trump's efforts to force Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and famed rapper Snoop Dogg getting fed up at LGBT content getting shoved into movies for kids.First, their jaws hit the floor as the New York Times reports that Kamala Harris spent $1.5 billion over a 15-week campaign and DNC had to pay her outstanding debts. There is no silver lining for the Dems from the Harris campaign, and Jim explains why he does not expect her to run in 2028.Next, they dig into the standoff between President Trump and Lisa Cook of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Trump says Cook is fired for falsely claiming two different homes as her primary residence within a couple of weeks. Cook is refusing to leave the Fed. So, this is headed to court and Jim says Trump might not have the legal high ground here.Finally, they react to Snoop Dogg getting mad that a same-sex couple with a baby was included in the new kids' movie Lightyear. It's part of the Toy Story franchise. The rapper and ubiquitous media figure says his young grandson peppered him with questions about how that could happen, and he was unprepared to answer. Snoop Dogg says that content should not be in movies geared for children, so of course many of the left are now denouncing him.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Feel the difference of an extraordinary night's sleep with Boll & Branch—get 15% off plus free shipping on your first set of sheets at https://www.BollandBranch.com/THREEMARTINI (exclusions apply).This Fall, save up to 50% on select plants at Fast Growing Trees—plus get an extra 15% off your first purchase with code MARTINI at https://www.Fast-Growing-Trees.com (limited time, terms apply).

1. Dunking on Gavin Newsom Ted Cruz responds to a tweet by Newsom blaming Trump for rising electricity prices. Cruz uses AI (Grok) to highlight that the states with the highest electricity rates are Democrat-led with strong renewable energy mandates. He argues that liberal policies, not Trump, are responsible for high energy costs. The discussion includes a critique of renewable energy mandates and infrastructure challenges in blue states. 2. Democrats’ “Forbidden Words” The think tank Third Way released a memo listing 45 words/phrases Democrats should avoid, claiming they alienate everyday Americans. Examples include: “privilege,” “birthing person,” “microaggression,” “cisgender,” “food insecurity,” and “environmental violence.” Cruz and Ferguson mock the list, comparing it to George Carlin’s “seven dirty words” and argue that the problem isn’t just language but ideology. 3. SCOTUS Victory for Trump on DEI Grants The Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to cancel $783 million in NIH grants tied to DEI and gender ideology. The ruling was based on jurisdictional grounds—plaintiffs filed in the wrong court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the swing vote, siding with conservatives on the funding issue but not on reversing DEI guidance. Cruz and Ferguson discuss the implications for future lawfare and judicial activism. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

With the National Guard rolling out troops and humvees across our capital, it's a question worth asking. When the federal or state government declares martial law it's the complete suspension of all local laws, civil authority, and local judiciaries. The commanding officer substitutes temporary laws and military tribunals. The Military commander has virtually unlimited authority to govern an area. Surprisingly, the Constitution doesn't define nor does it specify who can declare martial law. Despite this, federal and state governments had declared martial law more than 60 times. In fact, SCOTUS has held that states can declare martial law, but has never said a president can. *** REFERENCES: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1385 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-dc-crime-national-guard-b2807122.html https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-national-guard-military-states-cities-b2812837.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/dc-national-guard-armed-weapons-hegseth-b2812838.html https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/1958690745189376151 https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/d-c-under-martial-law-185336902.html https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1958290355545067588 https://x.com/ScooterCasterNY/status/1955434390005354731 https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/guide-declarations-martial-law-united-states *** Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn't telling you.

President Trump has scored yet another YUGE win in the US Supreme Court, with the majority upholding the authority of the Article II Executive elected by the whole of the American people to carry out our political will, to DENY FUNDING that was granted on the basis of deranged DEI and racist ideologies.The SCOTUS opinion includes a SCATCHING rebuke of the unelected, tyrannical, inferior, federal district courts who are in OPEN REBELLION against the US Supreme Court, authored by the clearly and justifiably angry Justice Gorsuch, joined by Justice Kavanaugh, both of whom have clearly had enough of the petulant inferior federal judges who simply refuse to accept any limitation whatever on their self-claimed infinite authority in their efforts to achieve their desired political outcomes.And, of course, in an opinion in which eight justices delivering a bundle of four distinct written opinions and dissent in a concise 14 pages, Justice Ketanji “Waffle House” Jackson is unable to restrain herself from consuming an additional full 18 pages to stomp her foot.Jackson extensively denigrates her colleagues on the SCOTUS bench as ruling in an “unprincipled and unfortunate” manner, delivering a decision that only uses “logic (such as it is)”, is “an even bigger mistake than I realized,” is lacking in “deviates dramatically” from “ordinary, commonsense,” and engaging in “Calvinball jurisprudence” in which “there are no fixed rules.” Instead, Justice Waffle House writes in describing this Supreme Court, “we seem to have only two [rules]: that one [that there are no fixed rules], and this Administration always wins.”Contemptible. The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

Phil, Elaad, & Tate are joined by Kevin Sorbo to discuss the left losing their minds over Trump calling for a review of the Smithsonian for being too woke, Tulsi Gabbard revoking the security clearances of 37 individuals, Republicans ability to win a redistricting fight against Democrats, and Hillary Clinton warning SCOTUS is likely to overturn gay marriage.   Hosts:  Phil @PhilThatRemains (X) Elaad @ElaadEliahu (X) Tate @RealTateBrown (X) Serge @SergeDotCom (everywhere) Guest: Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs (X)

It's been another wild week, after the D.C. Attorney General sued the government for attempting to install the head of the D.E.A. as D.C.'s emergency police commissioner. Following an emergency hearing, US Attorney General Pam Bondi backed down and re-wrote the directive. But Andrew and Mary highlight why that's just the start: it's no longer just the D.C. National Guard being deployed in the nation's capital, National Guard units from five other red states are being sent to the city, making a complicated stew of who's in charge and who has jurisdiction. Next, they weave this thread into last week's trial over whether California's National Guard performed law enforcement operations in Los Angeles, a potential violation of The Posse Comitatus Act. And with Russia and Ukraine so much in the news, Andrew offers some reflections from the 2019 Special Counsel's report that exposes Russia's long-held goal of taking over the Donbas region. And last up, Andrew and Mary fill listeners in on two DC Circuit cases that have their attention: a decision allowing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be dismantled and another that allows Trump to withhold billions in foreign aid.And a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford joins Cam to discuss the cert petition just filed with the Supreme Court in Duncan v. Bonta, a case challenging California's ban on "large capacity" magazines where the Ninth Circuit declared magazines are completely unprotected by the Second Amendment.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they have fun with some campaign news out of Pennsylvania and then serve up three major political martinis: President Trump's efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, MSNBC rebranding to MS NOW, and a left-wing columnist calling to scrap the Constitution so progressives can enact more of their agenda.Before the martinis, they react to Republican Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity announcing her run for governor in 2026. The name may be spelled differently, but Jim Geraghty is hilariously bracing to hear his name a lot over the coming year.In the first martini, Jim breaks down the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, weighing both the positive and negative results. They also examine what today's Washington meeting between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and European leaders could mean for future peace negotiations.Next, they react to MSNBC rebranding to MS NOW. Jim suspects NBC News will be glad to no longer be synonymous with the rage fest on the cable channel once this process is complete. Greg and Jim are both severely underwhelmed by the new name.Finally, they shake their heads as New York Times columnist Ross Douthat interviews Osita Nwanevu, a columnist for The New Republic, who basically wants to scrap the Constitution and start over because we're not enough of a democracy. The guest is especially infuriated over the existence of the U.S. Senate and the Electoral College and wants to pack the U.S. Supreme Court and add a several new states...you know...to save democracy.Please visit our great sponsors:Keep your skin looking and acting younger for longer. Get 15% off OneSkin with the code 3ML at https://www.oneskin.co/Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.
