Stacey Abrams on The True Dangers of Trump's Second Term
Donald Trump has been inaugurated for a second term as President, and the "blitzkrieg" of orders, insults and rhetoric has already begun. Stacey Abrams speaks to Melissa Murray, host of Crooked's legal podcast @strictscrutinypodcast and constitutional law professor at NYU, about how much Trump can actually do unilaterally and why his actions–like his order about TikTok–threaten the balance of power between the branches of government. They look at the true impact of using shock and chaos to govern–like his order about renaming Denali–and why we should be concerned about the new "broligarchy" that stood behind Trump at his inauguration. Stacey and Melissa explain the executive orders that run afoul of the 14th Amendment, like the end to birthright citizenship and new government policy on gender, and together, they showcase ways that we can continue to understand what's coming so we can effectively speak out.
