The Bulwark Podcast - S2 Ep1000: David French: Trump Admits He’s Violating the Constitution

Trump & company aren't even attempting to create a pretext for why they're punishing the free speech of political opponents. They are basically confessing in writing to violating the First Amendment. At the same time, the administration claims it's throwing a Hamas supporter out of the country in the name of fighting antisemitism—while giving jobs to the 'right kind' of antisemites.

David French joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.
