Why, America? with Leeja Miller

Columbia graduate student and pro-Palestine protestor Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by ICE agents, taken with no warrant, and detained for the better part of 48 hours without communicating his whereabouts to his pregnant wife or his legal team. This marks a profound escalation in Trump's efforts to undermine the due process rights of immigrants.

Trump's latest 25% tariffs went into effect on Tuesday, promising chaos at home and abroad. Despite already walking back those tariffs on Mexico and Canada car manufacturers, Trump has proven time and again he's willing to instigate trade wars and play with global trade policy like its monopoly money, and that is to the detriment of all of us.

The spat between Trump and Zelensky in the oval office on Friday showed a boiling over of tensions between a close US ally and marks a shift in world order, with Europe organizing with us, and the US turning ever further towards Russian talking points and increased ties with Putin. Will Europe rise to the occasion? Is the US-Ukrainian alliance cooked?

In town halls across the country last week, Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike faced severe backlash from constituents across the political spectrum who are angry about Trump and Elon Musk's handling of government over the last month and concerned about slashes to federal jobs and social programs they rely on. Some Republicans seemed swayed by the turnout. Others, not so much. Separately, protests around the country, boycotts, and even altgov bluesky accounts by rogue federal employees indicate that the backlash against MAGA has begun.

The DNC has no plan for addressing Trump's MAGA agenda, and now the donors are starting to pull the plug on funding. Will the Democrats get it together enough to create a legitimate plan AND effectively communicate that with the American people? An examination of the online presence proves BLEAK.

In his latest power grab, Trump has given himself the power to remove the heads of independent agencies despite longstanding precedent that says he can't do that (what's new, I guess). This will put the power to regulate major companies and protect consumer and worker safety into the hands of Trump loyalists hellbent on dismantling the entire government and removing regulations in favor of monied interests. And he's put Russell Vought, a key architect of Project 2025, at the head of all of it.

In an apparent (alleged) quid pro quo with the Justice Department, the corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams has been dismissed. The DOJ can still revive the charges at any time, giving Trump significant leverage over the Mayor of the largest city in the United States. Adams has already opened Riker's Island for ICE use, and there's no telling what more he'll be (allegedly) coerced into doing under this clearly (allegedly) corrupt deal he's struck with the DOJ.

Trump, Elon Musk, JD Vance, and others are calling into question the legitimacy of the judicial branch as judges across the country step in the way of some of the worst of the Trump administration's orders. Whether or not MAGA respects the rule of law is the last thing standing in the way of complete constitutional crisis.
