As we post this episode, Trump has sent Marines and Army National Guard troops to the streets to try to quash protests by fellow citizens - the vast majority of them peaceful. Our guest Elizabeth Goitein, of the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice, has warned us before that any U.S. president could wield dozens of sweeping emergency powers to dismantle democracy, some so secret that members of Congress don't even know about them. We repeated Liz's episode last year and we're repeating it again: The crisis created by Trump and his allies is that serious.
