What's the Republican spending bill all about? It's an extremely dangerous powergab engineered by Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and dirty lawyer who came up with the legal strategy to try to overturn the 2020 election. The Republican spending bill essentially grants legal protections to Trump and Musk's ongoing illegal mass purge, to protect them against court orders–one of the last levers of power we have left. Any Democrat who votes for this is complicit in Trump and Musk's tech-backed coup, illegally mass firing federal workers to replace them with an A.I. surveillance state. This week's episode continues our conversation with Gil Durán of the Third Reich and FrameLab newsletters on Controlled Opposition—those Vichy Democrats who refuse to stand up to the fascist Republicans in power. But why? What's in it for them? In a dictatorship, no one is safe—not even former allies like Putin, who've found themselves mysteriously falling out of windows or exploding mid-air. Why are some Democrats still playing the role of complicit bystanders? The Senate is gearing up to vote on the extreme Republican spending bill, which slashes life-saving programs like Head Start and community health centers, while funneling billions to the Pentagon and Homeland Security. At a time when Trump is threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, and ICE is denying due process to green card holders like Mahmoud Khalil, the stakes couldn't be higher. The bill also cuts Washington, DC's budget—an attempt to punish the city for daring to protest Trump's corrupt regime. But here's the thing: shutting down the government doesn't empower Trump or Musk—it forces Democrats to get on the front lines and expose the Republican spending bill for what it really is: a power grab designed to protect Trump and Musk's illegal tech-backed coup. There's hope, though. While Trump and Musk face a future of justice (their approval ratings are plummeting), we need to keep fighting back.  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Lindsey Boylan, former government official, to discuss Andrew Cuomo's recent announcement that he'll be running for Mayor of New York. First, they run through updates on Trump's trade war and the related economic turmoil, the GOP's impending government shutdown, the attempted deportation of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, Ukraine's offensive on Moscow, Rubio's small ask to Ukraine (give up your land to Russia), the NIH's anti-vax pivot as RFK blames measles on nutrition, Trump's attacks on the ACA, SCOTUS' approach to conversion therapy bans, legal pushback to DOGE and OPM, and the dropping net work of Trump's billionaire backers, before expanding on the incredible showing in support of Mahmoud Khalil at Foley Square in NYC yesterday, contrasted with Long Island politician Bruce Blakeman attempt to push blatantly false, islamophobic conspiracy, with no evidence to back himself up. Lindsey Boylan then joins, first walking through her own background working former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, beginning in 2016 and making her way up to a senior member of his team and special advisor, all while Cuomo consistently exercised his station to maintain a culture of sexual harrassment and exploitation, tackling her own experiences with Cuomo's sexual misconduct. After briefly jumping back to today to unpack the astonishing embrace of (or, at least, acquiesence to) Andrew Cuomo by New York politicians in the wake of his announced campaign for Mayor, Boylan, Sam, and Emma dive deep into the extensive investigations into Cuomo's administration by the city, state, and federal government, all of which confirmed a minimum of a dozen victims of Cuomo's abuses, and how the following suits from his victims – including both a woman younger than his daughters and the state trooper charged with taking a bullet for him – has resulted in Cuomo leveling $60 million of taxpayer money to harrass, demean, and discredit his accusers and their families. Lindsey ealso xplores Cuomo's still-existent path to victory in his fight against accountability, with Cuomo using America's refusal to address sexual harrassment beyond civil charges to further discredit these cases, while the campaign of lawfare and public harrassment continues with little-to-no pushback from the Democratic establishment, wrapping up by touching on the importance of leaving the former governor off of your fully-ranked ballot in the NYC primary this year. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma struggle to empathize with Elon Musk's multi-billion dollar losses and ongoing business struggles amid his attempted takeover of the US government, before watching Newsmax host Rob Schmitt attempt to defend Trump's economic turmoil. They also dive deep into Sam's appearance on Jubilee and the absurd attempts by the online right to reconcile the idiocracy of their movement, before watching RFK cuck himself to the Trump Administration hazing ritual as he digs into fast food and makes fun of dying turtles, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Hal Singer, economics professor at the University of Utah, to discuss Trump's recent tariff threats. Then, she speaks with Cea Weaver, tenant organizer with Housing Justice For All and director of the New York State Tenant Bloc, to discuss the rent freeze campaign the organizations are working on. First, Emma runs through updates on the US' devastating jobs numbers as Trump plans to cut more federal workers, DOJ's threat to USAID workers, the dropping stock market, Trump's attack on the DOE, the GOP's attack on Medicaid, the censuring of Al Green, Senate Dems' decision to overturn Biden's crypto regulations, Trump's attacks on Ukrainian refugees and Gaza, Smotrich's visit to Washington, and Barnes and Noble's big labor wins, before watching James Comer attempt to discipline Ayanna Pressley for… submitting evidence about migrant lawfulness. Professor Hal Singer then joins, jumping right into an assessment of the “chaos and anxiety” spurred by the Trump Administration's economic and employment policies of destroying the federal government, and the long-term ramifications of straight up deleting financial protections for Americans, before shifting to the topic of Trump's indiscriminate tariffs, and his guiding strategy in all negotiations (domestic or foreign) of all stick-no carrot. After expanding on the shady relationship between Trump and his Big Tech crypto backers – particularly in the wake of an announced crypto reserve – and the dearth of economic theory to back his ongoing agenda, Professor Singer wraps up by highlighting the Democratic Party's need to return to policies centered on uplifting the working class' economic and labor power. Next, Cea Weaver and Emma dive deep into the ongoing push for a rent freeze for NYC's nearly one million rent-stabilized units, walking through the role it has already played among the Democratic primary in this year's Mayoral race, with myriad candidates coming out in support of a data-backed plan to reverse the tide of overwhelming rent inflation that has been, and threatens to continue to push out native, working-class New Yorkers. After expanding on the diverse and expansive coalition of constituents involved in this fight, and exploring how, exactly, rent-stabilized units are hit by rent inflation (hint: Andrew Cuomo), Weaver wraps up with a final assessment of the current state of the NYC Mayoral race, and what a ranked ballot could look like. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder as they work through an early assessment of 2028 Democratic hopefuls in the wake of Gov. Gavin Newsome's insane decision to debut his podcast via an amicable interview with Charlie Kirk, Kowalski from Nebraska gives an in-depth agricultural and economic update, and John from Montreal unpacks the torpedoing trust and approval of the United States abroad.

(The Center Square) – Less than a year after Washington state lawmakers approved a parental rights initiative for those with children enrolled in public schools, majority party Democrats on Wednesday passed a bill out of the Senate that would rewrite provisions of the initiative. Senate Bill 5181 is described as amending the “parents' bill of rights” initiative to align it with existing law. It would modify the initiative's notification timeline for criminal acts involving students to reconcile it with Washington's 48-hour rule, as opposed to immediately. Initiative 2081, adopted by lawmakers in 2024, gave parents and legal guardians of public-school children the right to access information about their child's academic, medical, safety, and law enforcement matters.

Senate Democrats are calling on voters to be vigilant as Election Day approaches, releasing a detailed report on what to expect during the vote-counting process. Led by Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the report explains that while millions of Americans are already casting ballots, results in some states may not be immediately available on Nov. 5. This is due to differences in how states process mail-in ballots, with some allowing ballots postmarked by election day to be counted later. The senators emphasized that delays in counting are normal and not a sign of misconduct. The report also highlights the importance of rejecting any attempts to undermine public confidence in election results. Senate Democrats are drawing attention to the dangers of the rhetoric, which they say risks further division and violence reminiscent of the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol. Sen.

This Day in Legal History: Lord Haw-Haw Sentenced to HangOn September 19, 1945, William Joyce, infamously known as "Lord Haw-Haw," was sentenced to death by a British court for treason. Joyce, an American-born British subject, became notorious for his English-language radio broadcasts during World War II, where he spread Nazi propaganda designed to demoralize Allied forces and sway public opinion. His broadcasts, aired from Germany, ridiculed Britain and encouraged defeatism, earning him the mocking nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" due to his affected, sneering tone.Interestingly, before aligning with Nazi Germany, Joyce had served as an informant for the British government on Irish Republican Army (IRA) activities. In the 1920s, Joyce had strong anti-communist and anti-Irish Republican sentiments, and his knowledge of far-right politics in the U.K. led him to assist British authorities in monitoring IRA movements. However, his extreme right-wing views eventually drew him to fascism, and by the late 1930s, he joined Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists before fleeing to Germany at the onset of World War II.The nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" was coined by British journalist Jonah Barrington in reference to the exaggerated aristocratic accent of an anonymous broadcaster. Though it initially referred to another German propagandist, the label stuck to Joyce, who became the most infamous voice behind Nazi broadcasts. His broadcasts, filled with mockery of the British government and predictions of their downfall, made him a household name in Britain, and the face of enemy propaganda. Despite his American birth, Joyce's use of a British passport for his travels was enough for the court to convict him of treason. His execution in January 1946 marked the end of one of the most infamous figures of wartime propaganda.The Compton Courthouse in Los Angeles suffered two major floods in January 2024, caused by burst water valves, resulting in closures and significant disruptions to court operations. Nearly 5,000 cases were impacted, and emergency repairs cost California almost $2.6 million. This courthouse, along with many others in L.A. County, is deteriorating due to a "run to failure" maintenance approach, where repairs are made only after systems break. Budget constraints have forced the California Judicial Council to prioritize only critical repairs, leaving many courthouses vulnerable to failure. Compton is a "medium priority" for repairs, raising concerns about more urgent locations, such as the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, which has also faced severe plumbing and hazardous material issues.Los Angeles has 36 courthouses, many of which are well past their 50-year lifespans, and costly maintenance bills continue to rise. The challenges are compounded by seismic safety risks, as many of these buildings are not built to withstand earthquakes, presenting a significant danger to the public. Renovation and replacement of courthouses are progressing slowly, with only a few new facilities funded each year. Experts suggest modernizing courthouse designs and incorporating technology to reduce the need for large, outdated structures. However, without substantial investment, L.A.'s court infrastructure remains vulnerable to both natural disasters and everyday wear and tear.L.A. Courthouses Crumble With ‘Run to Failure' MaintenanceSecond indoor flood causes Compton Courthouse to close until further noticeCOMPTON COURTHOUSE CLOSED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING ISSUES AFFECTING ELEVATORS AND LOBBAlso in California legal news, a judge has denied a request to reopen Golden Gate University's law school, which closed after 123 years of operation. California Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer ruled against the plaintiffs, a group of former students and alumni, who had sought an injunction to reinstate the school. The plaintiffs had sued for breach of contract, claiming the university kept students in the dark about its financial struggles before announcing the closure.Golden Gate University cited declining enrollment, poor bar exam pass rates, and a weak job market as reasons for shutting down its law program. While most of the affected students have transferred to other American Bar Association-accredited schools, such as the University of San Francisco School of Law and Mitchell Hamline School of Law, the plaintiffs argue that the school failed to provide adequate transfer options.Although the school will not reopen, the plaintiffs can still pursue monetary damages for claims such as breach of contract and false advertising. A hearing is scheduled for October 22 to determine whether their case will proceed. Golden Gate Law is the latest in a series of law schools nationwide facing closures due to similar challenges.California judge rejects bid to reopen 123-year-old law school | ReutersMark Esper, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, joined Squire Patton Boggs as a part-time senior adviser, where he will focus on advising clients on national security and foreign policy. Although Esper has extensive experience in government and previously worked for defense contractor Raytheon, he will not lobby for the firm's clients in Congress or executive branch agencies. His role will leverage his public policy expertise from over 30 years in high-level government positions.Esper's move comes after his public break with Donald Trump in 2020, particularly over disagreements about invoking the Insurrection Act during protests following George Floyd's murder. He has since emerged as a critic of Trump, calling him a “threat to democracy” while also critiquing President Biden. While at Squire Patton Boggs, Esper will continue his work with venture capital firm Red Cell Partners and European think tank GLOBSEC.The firm views Esper's hire as a key step toward becoming a leader in national security advisory services. His work is expected to focus more on helping multinational corporations navigate the intersection of economic policy and national security rather than direct governmental advocacy.Trump Defense Secretary Esper Joins Squire Patton BoggsEx-Trump defense secretary Esper joins law firm Squire Patton Boggs | ReutersSenate Democrats are working to strike a deal with Republicans to confirm a backlog of President Biden's judicial nominees before the end of the year. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is hopeful that Republicans will agree to a package of nominees, a practice that was more common in less partisan times. With the Senate's slim Democratic majority, confirmations have been challenging, particularly for nominees like Rebecca Pennell and Mustafa Kasubhai, whose votes were delayed due to attendance issues and GOP opposition.Some nominees, such as Charnelle Bjelkengren, faced significant hurdles, with Bjelkengren withdrawing earlier this year due to a failed confirmation hearing. Kasubhai, who is still awaiting a vote, has been scrutinized by Republicans over his stance on diversity and past writings. Additionally, Democrats have faced internal opposition, with key senators refusing to support Adeel Mangi's nomination due to allegations of affiliations with controversial groups. The Senate faces a tight deadline, with a limited five-week "lame duck" session following the upcoming election recess, during which they must juggle these nominations alongside other legislative priorities.Democrats Look to Strike Deal With Republicans on Judicial PicksEU antitrust regulators have initiated proceedings to ensure Apple complies with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires the company to open its closed ecosystem to rivals. The European Commission aims to clarify what Apple must do to meet its obligations, focusing on iOS interoperability for devices like smartwatches, headphones, and VR headsets, as well as how Apple handles third-party and developer requests for connectivity. The Commission expects to finalize the guidelines within six months, with Apple at risk of fines up to 10% of its annual global turnover if it fails to comply. Apple has expressed willingness to cooperate but warned that opening its systems could expose users to security risks.EU antitrust regulators tell Apple how to comply with tech rules | ReutersAnd something of a double-dip in the Apple news bowl, in a piece I wrote for Forbes I spoke about the European Union's recent win in a legal battle requiring Ireland to collect €13 billion in unpaid taxes from Apple–a significant victory in the fight against multinational tax avoidance. Although the EU's highest court upheld the decision, Ireland remains reluctant to claim the windfall, as doing so could threaten its status as a low-tax haven that attracts large corporations. Ireland had argued, alongside Apple, that the taxes were not owed, reflecting its desire to maintain control over its tax policies.This case highlights the tension between national tax sovereignty and EU regulations aimed at curbing unfair competition through favorable tax deals. While the EU can force Ireland to reclaim the unpaid taxes, it cannot dictate how the country spends the money, leaving the Irish government with a difficult decision. Ireland's low corporate tax rate has been key to its economic growth, but the Apple ruling could have global ramifications as more countries adopt minimum tax frameworks to address tax avoidance by multinational corporations.The case underscores broader issues in international tax law, as countries like Luxembourg and the Netherlands, also known for favorable tax policies, may face similar pressures. While Ireland is legally obligated to collect the money, its cautious approach reflects a concern about maintaining its attractiveness to global businesses. The funds remain in escrow, and Ireland has yet to reveal how it plans to utilize the money, which is equivalent to 2.43% of its GDP.You Can Give Ireland Tax Revenue—But Can You Make Ireland Spend It?
