We begin with the uniquely American experience of trying to understand Melania Trump through her thick accent as she promotes her latest vanity film. From there Jesse dives into new state efforts to challenge the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling, and the bigger question behind it all: the difference between actual laws and the political “rules” we constantly rewrite depending on who’s in power. Along the way we take a look at states’ rights, culture war fatigue, and why everyone suddenly abandons their principles the moment the other side starts writing the rules.
