The Kilmar Abrego Garcia case just took another wild turn—an appeals court judge (yes, a Republican) just slammed the Trump administration for its blatant disregard of the Supreme Court’s order. Meanwhile, MAGA world is scrambling to rewrite the narrative, painting Abrego Garcia as a villain to justify deporting him without due process. But here’s the twist: even some GOP members are calling this what it is—unconstitutional and dangerous. Don goes live to unpack the legal outrage, the political spin, and why this case could be a tipping point in the fight over the rule of law. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Defying Supreme Court rulings. Weaponizing the DOJ against critics. Attacking the free press—again. At this point, the Trump administration isn’t just testing the limits of democracy... it’s tearing up the rulebook and daring anyone to stop them. So has Trump officially crossed into anti-constitutional territory? And if so—where the hell do we go from here? Don goes live to break it all down: the legal defiance, the authoritarian vibes, and the growing sense that we’re watching the Constitution get slow-roasted in real time. It’s serious. It’s outrageous. And it’s time to pay attention. The Don Lemon Show is up for a Webby!

The FCC is now going after Comcast for so-called “news distortion” after MSNBC didn’t carry a White House press briefing on deportations. Coincidence? Not likely—especially when the complaint came straight from inside the White House. This isn’t a one-off. Trump’s been on a rampage against the press—attacking 60 Minutes, blacklisting outlets, and weaponizing federal agencies against factual reporting. It’s not just petty. It’s textbook authoritarianism. Don breaks down the latest assault on the free press, why this isn’t just about cable news, and what we can actually do as this crosses into full-blown fascist behavior. Because when power fears facts, everyone should be paying attention. The Don Lemon Show is up for a Webby!
