Summary

Episode 1018 - GOOD NEWS EPISODE!

It's positive vibes only as we celebrate the impending disbarment of MAGA law toadies John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark, the first but-actually-for-real-this-time Trump trial date, and some extremely real threats to your favorite President's sacred First Amendment rights to lie to the public and terrorize the families of court personnel.

In more good news, the Supreme Court couldn't seem to find an actual excuse to ban medical abortions this week--or even find anyone who could even claim to have been in the same ZIP code as someone harmed by mifepristone--so we take a good look for ourselves and don't find too much to worry about.

One more bit of good news: Matt wants to give you a job! (Inquire within.)

1. John Eastman's two-page proposal to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election
