Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I am joined by fearless Congressman Jamie Raskin, a constitutional law professor, lead manager during Trump’s second impeachment trial, and one of the most principled voices in Congress. We break down how Trump’s latest power grabs, from blanket tariffs to mass deportations, are pushing America toward authoritarianism. We explore how Congress is fighting back, including legal challenges to Trump’s misuse of emergency powers, and expose his billion-dollar foreign deals, disregard for the Constitution, and threats to civil service protections. With democracy under siege and disinformation rampant, Raskin explains what’s at stake and why courage, accountability, and constitutional values are more important than ever.
