Summary

Legal analyst, political commentator, and host of Make It Make Sense Daily Digital Show, Monique Pressley is back with a brand-new episode of The Week With Monique—and let’s just say, it’s been another ride on the MAGA rollercoaster. This week, Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (a blueprint to slash Medicaid and gut social services) passed in the House, while the DOJ quietly backed away from police misconduct cases...because why hold anyone accountable when you can just pretend it’s not happening? But there is a glimmer of hope: the federal courts are pushing back on Trump’s more blatantly unlawful orders. The question is: how long can the judiciary hold the line? And what can the rest of us do to help? Monique breaks it all down with clarity, fire, and a whole lot of side-eye. Don’t miss it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
