Summary

Mary Trump welcomes #NerdAvengers Norm Ornstein, Professor Karen Hunter, and Danielle Moodie to take Merrick Garland to task for his incompetence when it comes to weighing the actions of President Biden and the Donald. Together, they lay out how Republicans’ burning of the rule book calls for action, how to fight against our internalized learned helplessness, and the ways the media’s important role in politics has been consumed by click-bait and ambition.

fellow nerd Avengers. So happy to have you here. I know you've been busy, perhaps.
