Summary

Charlie Sykes is joined by historian Julian Zelizer to examine the Trump administration's defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court, the mounting fallout from a chaotic trade war, and the troubling implications of a president who surrounds himself with sycophants and silences dissent. From Harvard's resistance to law firms caving under political pressure, they explore how institutions are — or aren’t — pushing back. Plus, what the long view of history tells us about the dangers of unchecked executive power in a fragile democracy.
