How Trump is Using the IRS to Resegregate America
Summary
Host Melissa Murray and guest Rashad Robinson analyze the Supreme Court’s shadow docket rulings, including a decision allowing discounted ad rates for political parties and the ongoing legal battle over Missouri’s redistricting map. They also discuss new IRS regulations that threaten to revoke tax-exempt status from schools engaging in race-conscious programs, effectively resegregating K-12 and higher education. The episode concludes with a preview of their upcoming book, *Supremacy*, which argues that judicial rule has replaced democratic governance.
