In this episode, attorney Barbara McQuaid discusses the Supreme Court's recent decision on the Colorado case and the 14th Amendment, as well as the pending decision on presidential immunity. McQuaid also talks about her new book, Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America which explores the threat of disinformation to democracy and offers strategies for overcoming it. McQuade is the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. She is a Legal Analyst for MSNBC and NBC News and Co-host of the Sisters-in-Law podcast. McQuade highlights the tactics used by authoritarians throughout history, such as stressing emotion over reason, exploiting divisions, and normalizing violence. McQuaid believes that technology, media literacy, and a commitment to truth can help combat disinformation and restore unity in society. Bill says the book “is so good, powerful and so scary.” You can get your copy here.
