Today I went live with legal extraordinaire Katie Phang. We covered everything from the growing attacks on reproductive rights and voting rights to the increasingly political behavior coming out of the Supreme Court and Department of Justice. Katie broke down why so many Americans are losing faith in institutions that were once viewed as untouchable and what worries her most about where things are heading next.
We also talked about the normalization of ignoring court orders, the chaos surrounding Trump-era legal culture, the fallout from DOJ politicization, and the dangerous inconsistencies we’re now seeing from the courts. Katie shared powerful insight into the emotional toll of covering these stories day after day, the importance of survivor advocacy, and why accountability still matters even when the system feels broken. We even got into the “shadow docket,” the future of the Voting Rights Act, and how the legal profession itself has changed under Trumpism.
If you missed the live, you’re going to want to catch the replay. Katie always brings clarity, expertise, and honesty to conversations that most people either oversimplify or avoid entirely. Love y’all!
