Summary

With Congress missing in action, the two active branches of our federal government are at it again, and the temperature rises by the minute. Caught in the crosshairs are the increasingly exasperated American people and our numerous non-citizens, most notably Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Jason Willick joins today to argue that our partisan impulses are blinding team red and team blue to both the legal and the political stakes before us. 

Plus, Messrs. Lileks & Hayward talk Harvard's funding freeze and why they had it coming. 





- Sound from this week's opening: President Trump takes a question from his new favorite reporter.
