The Trump administration has proven time and time again that it is more interested — or perhaps more comfortable — in the court of public opinion rather than in the courts of law.

The impact President Trump’s tariffs are having on America’s global financial standing, and the consequences to Democracy after American law firms capitulate to Trump’s threats

President Trump is packaging together a mixture of chaos and bunk and peddling it as 'the art of the deal', all while using the power of the presidency to order investigations into his perceived political enemies.

How the resistance is evolving as President Trump’s approach to seizing power has adapted, what the Trump administration’s attacks on birth control mean for the future of women’s healthcare, and how decades of politicians and the Supreme Court eroding personal freedoms could play directly into Donald Trump's hands

The economic chaos being caused from Trump’s sweeping tariffs, what former President Obama says about Trump’s attacks on democratic values and our role as citizens in the fight to keep American democracy alive, and an important conversation with the lawyer for detained Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil.

Sen. Alex Padilla and Rep. Madeleine Dean discuss the seriousness of the Signal chat scandal which President Trump has taken to calling a ‘witch hunt’, a former senior Social Security official explains why the program is in more danger than ever, and the cultural damage that will be done by the president’s targeting of American history.

New revelations shed light on the Trump administration’s Signal chat scandal; two law firms are fighting back against President Trump’s campaign of retribution; and Rep. Ayanna Pressley reacts to a college student being snatched off the streets of her district on the orders of the Trump administration.
