Podcasts about Slaughter

Leah, Kate, and Melissa recap the oral argument in Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could nuke the administrative state as we know it by giving Trump broad leeway to fire heads of independent agencies. They also cover the other arguments in cases involving campaign finance and the death penalty, and various and sundry bits of legal news including the antics of Judge Emil Bove and Trump's ongoing game of U.S. attorney musical chairs.Favorite things:Leah: At will?

Scott Sanders's Black Dynamite  We're finishing out the month of December - two more weeks left in 2025 - and having a great time exploring the world of Cult Cinema and Midnight Movies. This week we take a look at one of the best comedies of the 21st Century . . . a film that should have been exactly the definition of Midnight/Cult Movie. In 2009 Director Scott Sanders and Writer/Star Michael Jai White would unlease Black Dynamite on the moviegoing public. A Spoof/Parody/Love Letter to the "Blaxploitation" films of the 1970s, Black Dynamite was sadly ignored by the majority of moviegoers, however would find an eager and dedicated audience remembering the power of Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, Jim Kelly, Isaac Hayes, and the brilliance of Richard Roundtree and Jim Brown. Willie Dynamite, Three the Hard Way, Black Caesar, Truck Turner, Shaft, Foxy Brown, and Slaughter -  all cited and paid tribute to. Take a listen and let us know what you think of this trip through the History of Blaxploitation, the actors, directors, stories, and racism of the time. It's a fun talk . . . We hope you enjoy it.

Donald Trump has spent the past several days not on a campaign stage, but inside and around courtrooms, as a web of criminal and civil cases continues to tighten around him. Listeners, I want to walk you straight into what has been unfolding right now.In the federal election interference case in Washington, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, prosecutors have been pressing Judge Tanya Chutkan to keep this trial on a firm schedule. According to reporting from The New York Times and CNN, Smith's team has been pushing back hard against Trump's efforts to delay, arguing that voters deserve a jury verdict on whether he criminally tried to overturn the 2020 election before the next major political milestones. Trump's lawyers, by contrast, have continued to insist that the case is a partisan hit job and that they need far more time to review discovery. That clash over timing has dominated hearings in recent days, with Judge Chutkan signaling she will not allow the defense to simply run out the clock.Down in Georgia, in Fulton County, District Attorney Fani Willis's sweeping racketeering case charging Trump and multiple allies with trying to reverse Joe Biden's victory has turned into a marathon of pretrial skirmishes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and NBC News report that over the last week defense attorneys have peppered Judge Scott McAfee with motions to dismiss, motions to sever, and renewed attacks on the credibility of key state witnesses. Trump himself is not required to appear for most of these arguments, but his presence looms over every exchange, as prosecutors detail phone calls, pressure on state officials, and the now-famous effort to “find” votes.In Florida, the classified documents case has also seen movement. According to the Miami Herald and Politico, Special Counsel Jack Smith's team has used recent hearings to argue that Trump's continued public comments about witnesses and the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago are edging toward obstruction. Judge Aileen Cannon has been under scrutiny for months, with legal analysts at Lawfare and Just Security noting that her rulings on evidence and trial timing could determine whether this case is heard by a jury anytime soon. Trump's lawyers have leaned into claims that the documents were declassified or planted, while prosecutors have focused on surveillance footage and witness testimony that, they say, shows deliberate concealment.Meanwhile, in New York, the aftershocks of earlier trials are still being felt. The civil fraud judgment obtained by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which, as reported by the Associated Press and The Washington Post, found that Trump and the Trump Organization inflated asset values for years, has morphed into a battle over money and control. Recent filings have centered on how fast the state can collect hundreds of millions of dollars and what limits will be placed on Trump's ability to run his real estate empire in New York. Those financial pressures hang over every other case.Layered on top of all this, Supreme Court litigation involving the Trump administration's current actions has kept his legal team shuttling between lower courts and the high court. According to coverage by SCOTUSblog and Lawfare, emergency appeals over executive power, immigration, and the removal of independent agency officials have produced a rapid-fire series of shadow docket orders. One such case, Trump v. Slaughter, was argued this month, with Oyez and the Supreme Court's own docket noting that the justices are again being asked to define the reach of presidential power.Taken together, the past few days have not been about one trial, but about a landscape where Donald Trump's political future, personal fortune, and even his freedom are being tested, line by line, in legal filings and courtroom arguments.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

It's the usual brawl at the bar with the three barflies of the Three Whisky Happy Hour, where we take note of Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson sayiing the quiet (progressive) part out loud, likely flattered by the New York Review of Books recently saying of her: "Ketanji Brown Jackson is proving to be the sharpest justice on the Supreme Court." (No, seriously—they really printed that sentence.) But did she really just give away the whole anti-democratic impulse of progressives? It looks like she did.We actually agree that Humphrey's Executor is going to get executed because Slaughter (the party to the case against Trump) ha set it up for the slaughter.Speaking of slaughtering, we get around to celebrating the seasonal apperance of the McRib, but not before reviewing how his bears on John Yoo's favorite constitutional doctrine, the 'unitary executive,' and we take a brief tour to argue over some of the fine points of the Dred Scott case. Because whisky will do that to you.

OA1215 - We examine why the potential merger of Warner Brothers Discovery with either Netflix or Paramount would almost be certainly illegal under better circumstances before mourning the imminent loss of the independence of the one government agency which is supposed to stop this kind of thing. What exactly is the Federal Trade Commission, and why was destroying it a top priority for Project 2025? We then take a closer look at this week's oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, in which the Supreme Court's MAGA majority is poised to turn the FTC and dozens of other independent agencies into tools for Trump's corruption and graft. Finally, in today's footnote: why is an actual government website hawking the Trump Gold Card, and can the President really just make up a completely new way to give anyone with one million dollars a new path to US citizenship?

HEADLINE Presidential Authority Over Independent Boards: The Supreme Court's Trump v. Slaughter Possible Decision GUEST Professor Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute 50 WORD SUMMARY Epstein analyzes the Supreme Court's Trump v. Slaughter case, examining presidential authority to hire and fire independent board members. The decision traces to Humphrey's Executor (1935). Epstein predicts Justice Kavanaugh's uncertain vote due to his prior distinction between single-person agencies and panels. This ruling represents a momentous decision determining presidential executive power scope. 1889

On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, Anna-Marta Visky, Senior Campaign Lead for District 1 of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), joined the podcast to discuss the pressing issue of healthcare affordability for public employees in New Jersey.  Andrew Strom, labor lawyer and adjunct professor at Brooklyn Law School, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to warn listeners about the looming threats to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Strom's conversation centered on the ripple effects of the Supreme Court's consideration of Trump v. Slaughter. This case could significantly increase presidential control over independent agencies such as the NLRB.

I step into the studio knowing that, for listeners, the noise around Donald Trump's legal battles can feel endless. So let's get right to what has happened in the courts over the past few days.The biggest spotlight has been on the marble steps of the United States Supreme Court, where justices heard oral argument in a case called Trump v. Slaughter. Amy Howe at SCOTUSblog reports that this case asks whether President Donald Trump has the power to fire Federal Trade Commission commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter at will, even though federal law says FTC commissioners can only be removed for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” According to SCOTUSblog, during arguments on December 8, a solid majority of the justices signaled they are inclined to side with Trump and strike down those removal limits as unconstitutional restrictions on presidential power.In practical terms, that means the Court appears ready to say that President Trump lawfully fired Rebecca Slaughter in March by email, when he told her remaining at the FTC would be inconsistent with his administration's priorities, even though he did not claim any misconduct. Commentators at Holland and Knight, analyzing the argument, note that this could ripple well beyond the Federal Trade Commission, potentially weakening protections for members of other independent agencies like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.Inside the courtroom, the justices wrestled with a ninety‑year‑old precedent called Humphrey's Executor v. United States, a 1935 decision that upheld protections for FTC commissioners. According to SCOTUSblog, Chief Justice John Roberts described Humphrey's Executor as a “dried husk,” while Justice Neil Gorsuch called it “poorly reasoned.” On the other side, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan warned that tearing it down could fundamentally alter how much control Congress has over independent regulators. Justice Amy Coney Barrett pointed out that, in her view, the Court's more recent decisions have already eroded that old case.All of this is happening against a broader backdrop of litigation targeting actions by the Trump administration since his return to the White House. The Lawfare media team, which maintains a Trump Administration Litigation Tracker, has been following a sprawling set of challenges to Trump-era policies ranging from immigration rules to the deployment of the National Guard. Their tracker shows new filings landing in federal courts almost weekly, a sign that legal scrutiny of the administration's actions has not slowed.At the same time, local outlets like WABE in Atlanta continue to summarize where the various criminal and civil cases involving Donald Trump himself stand after earlier verdicts and appeals. WABE notes that previous jury decisions in defamation and civil fraud matters have largely been upheld on appeal, even as Trump continues to challenge them and attack prosecutors and judges in public.For listeners, the key point is this: in just a few days, the Supreme Court has given the clearest signal yet that it may expand presidential power over independent agencies in Trump v. Slaughter, while a wide network of lower courts and appellate panels continues to process the many criminal, civil, and constitutional fights that surround Donald Trump's political comeback.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20  Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20   to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including  names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences. The CBP proposal is open for a 60-day public comment period. ESTA – an automated system, costs $40 and is generally valid for two years. An ESTA holder can enter multiple times during that period.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20   letter confirms the details of that action.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision.

Humphrey's Executor v. United States, decided in 1935, upheld the Federal Trade Commission Act, declaring that a president can remove an FTC commissioner only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” In March 2025, FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was notified of her removal by President Trump, who stated in a letter that for her to remain an FTC commissioner was “inconsistent with [the] Administration’s priorities.” Slaughter won in district court, which ordered her reinstatement. After the D.C. Court of Appeals denied the government’s request for a stay, the Supreme Court granted certiorari and stayed the lower court’s ruling. Join us for a discussion of oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter and the questions it presents about separation of powers, for-cause removal, and the future of Humphrey's Executor.

Richard Epstein does a deep into the Supreme Court's latest showdown: Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could redefine presidential removal power and the future of independent agencies like the FTC. Epstein walks through the constitutional history — from the Founding to Humphrey's Executor to modern administrative courts — and explains how the Court's interpretation of Article II has evolved, splintered, and in some cases contradicted itself. The conversation covers everything from the steel-seizure precedent to the Federal Reserve, the structure of the administrative state, and the unresolved tension between originalism and the practical realities of modern governance. Epstein explains why this case could be one of the most consequential constitutional questions of our time.

Oral arguments took place in the highly-anticipated unitary executive case, Trump v. Slaughter. The overruling of the case that seems to govern, Humphrey's Executor, has been long expected, and indeed, the Chief Justice referred to the “dry husk” that was all that remained of that case after recent years of whittling by the current and recent Court.  However, faced with the extremity of possible consequences, the Court veered this way and that, indicating that while the direction seems clear, the destination may not be.  Fascinating intersections with other cases and theories that Professor Amar has studied and expounded over the years abound, and in our Cosell-like tour of the argument's twists and turns, you will learn how it fits together.  CLE is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Austin Petersen breaks down the foreign psychological operation designed to rot the MAGA movement from the inside out. Plus, the Deep State is finally on trial. In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court appears ready to dismantle the "Fourth Branch" of government, with Chief Justice Roberts calling the bureaucracy a "dried husk." Is this the end of the unaccountable federal regulator? Today's Show Rundown:

Listeners, in courtrooms across America, Donald Trump's legal saga is still unfolding, and the past few days have shown how tightly his political future is tied to these trials.In New York, the hush money criminal case that led to Donald Trump's felony convictions earlier this year continues to shape what happens next. After a jury in Manhattan found him guilty of falsifying business records connected to payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, the focus has shifted from the drama of trial testimony to the grind of appeals and sentencing strategy. Major outlets like the New York Times and CNN have reported that Trump's lawyers are pressing arguments that the case was politically motivated and that key testimony from Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer, should never have been trusted. At the same time, New York prosecutors under District Attorney Alvin Bragg are emphasizing to the courts that a jury heard the evidence and spoke clearly.In Georgia, the election interference case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis remains a slow burn rather than a daily spectacle. According to reporting from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Associated Press, recent hearings have focused less on the explosive racketeering charges and more on pretrial motions: what evidence can come in, which co-defendants will be tried alongside Trump, and how quickly a trial could realistically happen in the thick of a presidential election cycle. Judges in Georgia have been acutely aware, as those outlets note, that every scheduling decision may be read as a political act, even though it is rooted in criminal procedure and logistics.On the federal side, two major criminal cases still hang over Donald Trump: the classified documents case in Florida and the 2020 election interference case in Washington, D.C. The Washington Post and NBC News report that the election interference case, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, has been slowed by endless pretrial fights over presidential immunity, privileged communications, and the scope of what jurors would be allowed to hear about January 6. In Florida, in the classified documents case before Judge Aileen Cannon, recent hearings reported by Politico and CBS News have focused on how to handle highly sensitive national security material at trial, with Trump's team arguing for broad access and delays, while prosecutors push to keep the schedule moving.Even the Supreme Court has been pulled into the Trump legal orbit again. CBS News and SCOTUSblog have been covering arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, a case testing whether President Trump can fire Federal Trade Commission commissioner Rebecca Slaughter without the usual “for cause” protections that shield many independent agency officials. In oral arguments, several conservative justices suggested that limiting a president's power to remove such officials may violate the Constitution's separation of powers, while the liberal justices warned that giving Trump nearly unchecked removal power could destabilize agencies far beyond the FTC. A ruling expected in the coming months could reshape how future presidents, not just Trump, control independent regulators.Taken together, these court battles show a former president and current political force fighting on every legal front: criminal, civil, state, federal, and even constitutional at the Supreme Court. Every hearing date, every ruling on evidence, every appellate brief now doubles as both a legal move and a political message, with Trump portraying himself as a target of what he calls a weaponized justice system, and prosecutors and judges insisting they are simply applying long-standing law to an unusually powerful defendant.Thank you for tuning in.

President Trump today unveiled a $12 billion farm aid package during a roundtable with Cabinet members and American farmers. The announcement comes as Beijing has pulled back on purchases of key commodities like soybeans, leaving some U.S. farmers struggling to sell their crops.The Supreme Court is set to decide whether to scale back restrictions on a president's ability to fire certain agency officials — including FTC Chair Rebecca Slaughter, whom President Trump removed in March. Oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter began today, with the Court appearing poised to lift some of those limits.Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba announced today she is stepping down. Earlier this month, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower-court ruling disqualifying the Trump appointee on the grounds that she had not been confirmed by the Senate.

Donald Trump is forcing his Justice Department to go after his political enemies for mortgage fraud, and like always, this appears to be pure projection on Trump's part. An investigation by ProPublica has revealed that Trump likely did the exact same thing he's accusing everyone else of doing, which is taking out mortgages for homes and then violating the terms of the loan by renting out the properties. This happened in the 1990's, so the statute of limitations would prevent any prosecution, but it does explain why Trump thinks he can bust everyone else for this very specific crime. Donald Trump is terrified that the Supreme Court is going to take away his power to enact tariffs on any country for any reason, so he came out boasting that he'll just enact tariffs a different, albeit more complicated, way in the future. This was Trump's attempt to get the court to just let him do what he wants to do because he's going to do it no matter what, and it was painfully obvious that this was the point he was trying to make. The Supreme Court on Monday began hearing arguments in the case of Trump v. Slaughter, which is a case that conservative lawyers have been waiting for a long time to get settled. If the courts side in the conservatives' favor, which is the likely outcome, it would hand Trump the power to fire anyone and everyone that he wants within the executive branch of the government without cause or reason. This would give Trump complete control over every aspect of the executive branch, increasing his power in ways that could reshape the government for a generation. A leaked Department of Justice memo obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein has revealed that Pam Bondi's DOJ is compiling lists of people that they claim are part of "domestic terrorist" groups, but in reality they are just people, organizations, and groups that are against the Trump agenda. Things that could get average people on these lists include expressing disdain for the administration's immigration raids, calling out the hypocrisy of the Religious Right, or even just expressing discontent with our capitalist economy. These are just a few of the new items that constitute "thought crimes" in modern day America.According to sources from the Department of Homeland Security, the sense around the agency is that Kristi Noem is going to be fired "really soon," as Trump has seemingly lost all patience with her. This comes as a bit of a surprise, considering the fact that Noem has been the public face of ICE since taking over DHS, and her raids have made headline news since the beginning. But Trump is reportedly not happy about the low deportation numbers, and loyalty can't overcome a lack of results. Young voters were shockingly supportive of Donald Trump in the election and through the first few months he was in office, but the tide has turned in a short amount of time and they now overwhelmingly reject him. According to the latest polling data, Trump went from having a 10-point net approval rating from voters aged 18 to 30, but now he is 47 points UNDERWATER with that age group. This makes up one of the largest demographics in the country, and if they have soured on Trump and the Republicans then next year's elections might already be settled.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!
