- DOGE is running wild in the District of Columbia. Chaos reigns supreme. Trump 2.0 has been frightening and it’s all been happening so fast. But there are lots of people fighting back, as they try to slow the damage. And the courts are exactly where the pushback has been most fierce. One of the teams of people leading the charge includes former Judge Nancy Gertner, one of the many legal professionals suing the Trump administration. Judge Gertner's case is about the list of rank and file FBI agents threatened with retribution and the public disclosure of their names, because they did their jobs and prosecuted January 6th cases. Gertner is involved with a slew of cases from the State Democracy Defenders Fund. She talks with host Dahlia Lithwick about the many wins against the administration in court this past week, and whether they matter. Next, Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern joins Dahlia to update us on the DOGE litigation and the Birthright Citizenship cases.

I'm glad to hear the Plaintiffs are "racing back" to set the record straight - but how on earth didn't they have data experts on hand to IMMEDIATELY jump up and say, "actually Judge, DOJ just LIED to you!"?
Now do Eric Printz with his private army and others in brown shirts blocking our representatives from entering the Treasury building.
It is intentional 100% Project 2025 discusses this and the author argues for a weak admin government and a president that is like a king per se. The document is like 100-200 pages long but I recommend everyone to read it.
Once you've brazenly violated Federal Civil Service protections, data privacy laws, and impoundment prohibitions, there are no other vital areas left to brazenly violate.
there are many laws that the feds alone can enforce and Trump and his DOJ can refuse to enforce whatever they wish and of course they can and are overreaching. Note that prior presidents also abused their discretion and the law to attack political opponents - Bush and Obama and Reagan.
Money laundering is money laundering hope you all go to jail
It's clear your guest's primary expertise is on the " people" side of the equation - Federal Civil Service and Birthright citizens. Can you do a second interview with a specialist in data + impoundment issues?
Thank you Dahlia and guests, invaluable. I've shared.
Im tired of the lame hopium podcasts that exhort listeners to call your reps and protest.
protests are not a stop gap on the states and 3 branches that have invited Trump's coup efforts -the 3 branches failed us.
But this podcast does explore the current situation better than most.
Can the Plaintiffs get an order stating that any and all data acquired by DOGE cannot be USED in any Federal action against any U.S. citizen?
Did you see the video of the DOE employees or security getting all bowed up at Congress people that wanted to go in and see what the DOGE bros were doing? I wish they would get that protective and righteous when the DOGE bros are trying to go in
It is the third bucket. Let's be realistic.
The Federal Judicary needs to declare DOGE completely without authority.
10 minutes in and nothing new is said - To do this normalizes it. Lead with victory and continue from there
They shouldn't even have access to LOOK AT THE DATA. And it's obvious they were changing code - otherwise the payments could not have been halted!
Great Interview! 👏👏👏👍
Constitutional Crisis for sure
Attempted Coup was January 6, 2021. Supreme Court didn't seem to hear that term, certainly not in Colorado 14 Section 3 case. Glad she won't be going before court anymore, hopefully.
Slop
I'm sorry to say, but birthright citizenship is much less time sensitive than the date breach.
I want more focus on THAT.
