Episode Notes
In this week’s Slate Plus–only room of doom, Mark Joseph Stern talks with Cristian Farias, journalist and host of The Bully’s Pulpit, a podcast from the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. They talk about Trump demanding a new census that excludes undocumented immigrants, the FBI tracking down Texas Democrats who fled the state to break quorum, and the Justice Department asking the Supreme Court for permission to racially profile potential migrants. To top it off, the Supreme Court’s latest attack on the Voting Rights Act is taking shape—and it could be the final blow.
