348: Bad DOGE!

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS case over a FOIA request seeking DOGE transparency, the legal arguments, government accountability under Trump, and what the decision will mean for future information requests. Then, the #Sisters expose MAGA’s war on the environment and disaster preparedness, looking at emergency preparedness during the fire season, the environmental concerns over Trump’s plans for a golf course in DC, and enforcing government compliance with court orders. They also review the DOJ’s intervention into California’s mail-in voting, its effect on our elections, and the need for a robust pro-democracy platform from MAGA’s opponents.
