Trump’s Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Grift
Kate, Melissa, and Leah try to wrap their heads around Trumpβs nearly $2 billion DOJ slush fund, which they agree may beβdespite extremely stiff competitionβthe biggest act of trolling and self-dealing of his second term. The professors count the ways this is so, so illegal, and speculate on how it can be challenged (looking at you, Congress). They also cover other legal news and some SCOTUS opinions before speaking with Dorothy Roberts about her book, The Mixed Marriage Project: A Memoir of Love, Race, and Family.
