Read More2517 – Trump Administration Thuggery & The Coopting of the Military w/ Jeet Heer
It’s Casual Friday, and it is so casual that we have pre-taped today’s show Thursday evening in order to attend Emma’s wedding. Sam starts off by discussing the implications of Senator Alex Padilla being man-handled and handcuffed by federal agents while trying to ask DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. He gets further into that and Donald Trump’s propensity to politicizing the military with The Nation’s Jeet Heer. Check out Jeet’s writing and podcasting here: https://www.thenation.com/authors/jeet-heer/ After that, we take a look at Donald Trump’s changing tune on immigration enforcement.
