Supreme Court rejects Trump’s mail voting restrictions
Summary
The Supreme Court denied a Trump administration request to block mail-in ballot restrictions, preserving lower court orders that prevent the USPS from vetting voters during the midterms. The episode also explores the escalating AI crisis, contrasting Trump’s dismissal of AI threats as a hoax with warnings from developers and Senator Elizabeth Warren about the need for urgent regulation. Warren further criticizes the Clarity Act, arguing it prioritizes Trump’s crypto profits over consumer protection and national security.
