This week’s episode breaks down why the judge ruled Trump’s special prosecutor was illegally appointed, and what it means for separation of powers.

When you’re battling Darth Vader in the White House, it’s good to know Luke Skywalker is on your side.

New Oath and The Office Promo 🎙️
@johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I filmed in Central Park — the same place RFK Jr. once left a dead bear cub. An omen of what was to come, as Trump and his allies now dump on our Constitution.

I had the chance to speak today after former House Majority Leader Richard Gephart. He was inspiring and reminded us what a more functional democracy looked like, although he was careful not to romanticize the past. Most importantly he spoke about efforts to save our democracy.

I just spoke to @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social @msnbc.com about why we are in the midst of what political scientists call an autocoup. We also talked about the German elections and the idea at the root of post war Germany of “militant democracy,” one we need to learn from in the United States.
