Sunday, September 21, 2025 - Trump’s DOJ: His Personal Hit Squad?
Update: 2025-09-21
Description
Guest: Pema Levy
The Roberts Court gave Trump sweeping immunity — and he’s using it to intimidate critics, greenlight ICE's racial profiling raids, and crackdown on political speech. Pema Levy of Mother Jones joins me to unpack the landmark decision in Trump v. United States — a ruling that didn’t just grant Trump immunity for official acts, but armed him with the ability to wield the Justice Department as a personal weapon against political rivals, as if the DOJ were Trump’s private legal office. Pema Levy traces how law, politics, and authoritarian practices are converging in ways that threaten us all.
