The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: How to Disagree This Holiday Season (Without Losing Your S***)

Political tension may be the uninvited guest at the table this Thanksgiving. Research shows roughly a quarter of Americans are estranged from at least one family member, and family therapist Angela Caldwell says she's seen a major rise in families divided over politics.

Today, she breaks down why disagreements feel more personal than ever, and she offers practical strategies for how families can better navigate tough conversations.

The goal? Ensure holiday gatherings don't turn into holiday blowups — or even family break-ups.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - The DOJ’s Prosecutorial Malpractice Keeps Spilling Out in Court

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah, who brings her extensive experience trying and supervising federal criminal cases to a discussion of what the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse can teach us about justice. She suggests that the Trump administration’s eleventh-hour switchback tactic of calling for investigations of only Democrats speaks volumes about how the Justice Department is functioning these days, proving that vindictive prosecutions are the only game in town, bonus if they also have the effect of power-washing the president’s shadow from the scandal. Next, they turn to the extraordinary scenes in a Virginia courtroom this week, as the DOJ’s case against former FBI director and Trump foe James Comey seemed ready  to fall apart at the seams. As this administration’s practice of political interference in legal proceedings is supercharged by dear leader’s “Dear Pam”  posts to “his” AG Pam Bondi, this conversation highlights why judicial integrity and the ever-expanding ranks of judges refusing to accept lies, are among the last best hopes for equal justice under the law in America.
