It’s Hump Day! Sam speaks with , law professor at Georgetown University, to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court’s upcoming rulings on Loper Bright Enterprises&nbsp; v. Raimondo &amp; Relentless v. Department of Commerce, as well as the court hearing arguments yesterday regarding mifepristone and medication abortion. Then, Sam speaks with Heather Herbert, a hospice registered nurse at PeaceHealth Medical Center in Springfield, Oregon and member of the ,&nbsp; to discuss the  at the hospital and the new labor complaints they’ve filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).&nbsp;First, Sam runs through updates on the US public’s disapproval of Israel’s genocide, the US State Department, Texas’ fascist border power grab, labor action across the US, legal woes for Trump and Co., and Ronna McDaniel’s brief NBC tenure, before diving into details of the collision that collapsed Francis Scott Key in Baltimore, and the profiteering that drives disasters like this one. Professor Lisa Heinzerling then joins, diving right into the context of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine’s suit against the FDA, including their objections to the FDA’s relaxation of requirements for Mifepristone, the most common abortion medication in the US, and the overwhelming scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of the drug. Expanding on this, Professor Heinzerling looks at this case within the broader context of the Supreme Court’s attack on the administrative state, fitting neatly into a pattern of cases with very vague and obscure claims of injury resulting in massive shakeups to the legal and political structure in the US, something also reflected in Loper Bright Enterprises&nbsp;v. Raimondo, before walking through the greater idea of the Chevron Doctrine and administrative deference. After assessing where this current iteration of the Roberts Court stands among the most extreme activist&nbsp;courts, Lisa and Sam wrap up the interview with a brief conversation on the reaction of legal institutions and law schools to the myriad ongoing Supreme Court scandals. Nurse Heather Herbert and Sam then dive into the context of ONA’s ongoing labor action, with contract negotiations stalling for over a year as PeaceHealth attempted to force lower pay on some 125 hospice and home care workers, despite the same qualifications as hospital nurses with additionally extensive and expensive training required. After expanding on the serious hit this process took on these Nurses, Herbert dives into the hospice Nurses' difficult decision to strike, tackling the clear unfair labor practices exercised by PeaceHealth in response, and wrapping up with a conversation on the strike’s support from and impact on patients and community members. And in the Fun half: Sam admires the growing protests against US complicity in the genocide of Gaza, including actions against Reps Jeffries and McGovern and President Biden, and watches the right-wing attempt to spin the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster into a diversity issue instead of a capitalism one. Casey in DC uncovers some odd coincidences in Rep. Bill Johnson’s (R-OH) post-congress career path, Bobby from Georgia explores the perception of inflation under Biden alongside rising housing costs, and Fox News hosts react to the Ronna McDaniel saga. Dylan from Ft. Collins on the slow journey out of right-wing conspiracy, Pep from Texas on Blinken’s Zionism, and Stephen Crowder’s workplace and domestic abuses come to the fore, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma discuss the recent candidate forum between Rep. Jamaal Bowman &amp; Westchester County Executive George Latimer, where Latimer made the claim that Rep. Bowman's constituencies were in Dearborn, Michigan and San Francisco, as opposed to the Bronx and Westchester. Then, they discuss the recent ceasefire resolution that passed through the United Nations (UN), and the strange, convoluted game of telephone that high ranking Biden administration officials like Secretary Blinken are playing when it comes to Hamas accepting a ceasefire deal (reports are that they've "said" they amenable to it) and Israel accepting a ceasefire deal (Netanyahu has not "said" that he's amenable to it; Blinken says it's the position of the Israeli government. They then react to some of the crime data coming from an FBI report, showing plummeting rates of violent crime, before getting into the bombshell undercover reporting by extraordinaire Lauren Windsor, who went undercover at a Supreme Court Historical Society event, speaking with Chief Justice Roberts (relatively normal), Justice Alito (more unhinged), and Justice Alito's, wife Martha Ann (the most insane conversation you'll ever hear). And in the Fun Half, the MR Crew discuss JD Vance's coyness around his position in the Trump veepstakes, despite being asked for documents and...whether he's committed any crimes or things of that nature (and that would be disqualifying, somehow)? They then react to Georgia congressional primary candidate and Jan-6th related convict Chuck Hand being asked a simple question about agricultural policy at a debate before introducing himself, completely ignoring the question, and walking off the stage. They then check in on Tim Pool waging the war on Christmas in...June, Steven Crowder and Nigel Farage having an idiot contest, and the...interesting mentions under a tweet from the account "AFPost" regarding polling showing less U.S. Jewish voters supporting Trump in 2024 as opposed to 2020. The "AF" standing for...America First can probably give you a good idea of the tenor of the replies to this tweet. (Hint: they're insanely anti-Semitic). Plus, your calls &amp; IM's!

It’s Hump Day! Sam speaks with , proprietor of the  newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent piece entitled  Then, he speaks with  communications director &amp; spokesperson for , to discuss Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s upcoming primary in New York and AIPAC’s spending efforts against the Squad.&nbsp;First, Sam runs through updates on the UN’s ceasefire proposal, continuing carnage in Gaza, GOP primary results, the conviction of Hunter Biden, slowing inflation rates, the US' disregard for Leahy law, more Alito-family leaks, North Carolina’s mask ban, the permeation of microplastics, and Chiquita’s liability for paramilitary action in Columbia, before watching the GOP attempt to spin the Hunter Biden conviction as yet ANOTHER attack on Donald Trump. Judd Legum then joins, diving right into the story, originally broken by ProPublica a few years ago, of RealPage’s rent-pricing algorithm for landlords, and how the prevalent usage of RealPage in housing markets allows corporate landlords to eschew direct conspiracy yet reap all the benefits of collusion, from raised and fixed rents to artificial market constraints. After unpacking some of the finer elements of RealPage’s “property management” software, Legum looks to the development of multiple major lawsuits against RealPage, including class-action suits in Atlanta and DC, unpacks the evidence that has come through discovery, and tackles the FBI’s recent raid of a corporate landlord’s offices in a major development to a criminal anti-trust case against RealPage, before wrapping up with a brief assessment of landlord liability in a federal criminal case. Usamah Andrabi then joins, jumping right into the incredibly Manchin-esque campaign of conservative “Democrat” George Latimer, and how his AIPAC-funded run to unseat Jamaal Bowman has gone well beyond just unconditional support for Israel, with AIPAC’s pro-Trump funders pushing a full rejection of Bowman’s progressivism. After expanding on the astoundingly bigoted and anti-democratic campaign being run by Latimer, Andrabi and Sam tackle the need for Democrats to step up for their colleagues in the face of overwhelming amounts of right-wing money, and what to make of the recent Emerson poll showing a major gap between the two candidates, before touching on what those of us outside of New York can do to help. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the sustained anti-PC delirium in comedy, aided by Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ recent response to Seinfeld’s anti-woke ramblings, Brian from LA tackles the Daily Wire’s new animated show and the arrested development of right-wing humor, and Maryellen from Newark explores the sale of West Bank properties in the US. Sam also unpacks dropping inflation rates with little-to-no impact on the continuing housing crisis, Kett from Portland gives some timely Latimer gossip, the Alito-family leaks keep coming, and Morning Joe has a guest on to ponder the validity of civilian deaths in Gaza, plus, your calls and IMs!
