MAGA legal chaos unraveled
New 'On Democracy' episode with CNN Legal Analyst Shan Wu
A Cacophony of Crazy
I was prepping for this interview with Shan Wu and couldn’t believe how many legal issues there are cascading right now surrounding Trump and the Republican Party. The list is simply insane.
New York civil trial for the Trump Organization
Classified documents federal trial in Florida
Georgia election interference case
Trump January 6th case in DC
The sham “impeachment” effort
Senate investigating gifts to the Supreme Court
Project 2025 and Trump’s threats to turn the DOJ on his opponents
….and on and on.
That’s before we get to some of his recent writings on the issues of free speech on college campuses at this terrible moment in Israel and Gaza. So, there was plenty to discuss and we dove right in this afternoon. We dove right in and dug into a lot of the issues to try and understand what all of this means and what is the real danger we face.

Project 2025
If you missed it I have a video up on MeidasTouch now blowing up that dives into the Project 2025 effort to install a MAGA government that will dismantle the existing structures of our democracy. It is truly some chilling stuff. I hope you’ll watch.
Thank you for being part of the community

Project 2025 ends American democracy. Period. I moved to this country in 1991. I never thought that 30 or so years later, I could witness its end as a democracy.
