A Notion of Immigrants 0
Sam and the crew justifiably deride Tom Homan’s lamer attempts to justify ICE’s violations of the law, due process, and the Constitution.
(Warning: The last minute or so devolves into Sam stupidly making fun of Tom Homan’s speaking patterns. It’s so stupid I considered not using the video. Nevertheless, I think the larger point about the sophistries, misrepresentations, and lies used by the Trump maladministration to justify putting persons in concentration camps for being brown outweigh the stupid, so instead I’ll suggest that you hit stop when that silliness starts and forgive Sam for his lapse of judgment.)

Trump and the Watergates 0
Emma and the crew discuss how the Trump maladministration’s actions helped stall FEMA’s response to the floods in Texas, how said maladministration is attempting to wiggle out from under the facts, and how FEMA money was misappropriated diverted to pay for Trump’s Florida concentration camp “Alligator Alcatraz.”

At the Tampa Bay Times, Elizabeth Bird hears something from the past that sounds eerily like “Alligator Alcatraz.”
