Maggie dives into America’s 2025 political turmoil with former U.S. Attorney Jim Santelle. Together, they unpack the rule of law under siege — from Trump’s reckless leadership to his administration’s open defiance of court orders. The conversation spotlights the Seventh Circuit’s sharp rebuke of Trump’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Illinois, affirming that protests are not rebellions. Maggie and Jim also examine Stephen Miller’s outsized influence and the federal courts’ ongoing fight against the administration’s lawless firings and illegal grant conditions.
