    One Thing: Why SCOTUS Is Saving Trump Immunity for Last

    The Supreme Court wraps up its current term on Monday. Justices are finally expected to issue a major decision on presidential immunity as it relates to special counsel Jack Smith's election subversion charges against former President Donald Trump. Another decision limiting obstruction charges for January 6th rioters could also have ramifications in that case. In this episode, we break down what it said and why a separate ruling is sending shockwaves through the federal government.

Format 5 Ifeoma 1

I love this format, but the word is ASK not axe. I find myself wanting to skip Ifeoma Dike’s episodes. It’s not just that word but so many inflections that are distracting.

What's with this "hello"?

I would be giving a five star review to this whole show… But I am giving a two star review for episodes hosted by Jo Beck... it's her overly chipper "hello" that is just incongruent with news of the day that typically contains extremely serious information. She sounds like she is saying hello to a bunch of joyful school children. I immediately turn off the podcast when I hear it. I'm sorry to be so blunt but that's my truth.
