Ep 266 — Trump Says LOVE ME On The Taxpayer Dime
Summary
Hosts Liz Diane and Andrew Torres discuss the Trump administration’s legal maneuvers, including the DOJ’s controversial "pocket rescission" of congressional funds and the Supreme Court’s stay of an injunction blocking the SAVE database for voter verification. They analyze the absurdity of January 6 rioters filing Federal Tort Claims Act lawsuits for reparations and the White House’s ongoing media access disputes. The episode also covers the Supreme Court’s resolution of Missouri’s gerrymandered map dispute and a deep dive into the legal history of the McCurdy v. Oklahoma case.
