Summary

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss how Stephen Miller and GOP lawmakers flirt with suspending the very foundation of democracy: habeas corpus. Meanwhile, Trump accepts a $400 million jet from Qatar as if it's not corruption at its highest level. Arizona senator Ruben Gallego inserts himself into a possible presidential run, which would tilt the Democratic party farther right (ugh), and cancel culture clearly has a shelf life as disgraced former New York governor Andrew Cuomo is a front runner to become Manhattan's next mayor. Support the show and gain access to the Weekender episodes on Friday by going to our ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠ and becoming a patron.

Nick, we got to start with one of the more alarming things

that I've heard in a very long time.

1:22.9

Slyndermann, Stephen Miller, got in front of cameras late last week.

1:30.6

And he had this to say, which I found concerning. Well, the Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land

1:35.6

that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would
