Description

Sarah Longwell and Elliot Williams explain why courts keep rejecting Trump's defamation claims, what “actual malice” really means, and how his wave of lawsuits is really meant to pressure the media. Plus: the bizarre Trump-as-Jesus post, the growing use of the justice system for retribution, and why targeting witnesses like Cassidy Hutchinson should set off alarms.

Absolutely nothing more trust-building than a person who admits to making a mistake. Much appreciated.

I hope Sarah keeps both Andrew and Elliot on this venue. They are both wonderful and explain things simply.

I like Eliot, and his apology at the top was really sensitive. He demonstrated an admirable level of integrity.

Trump saw the 10 commandments and says that radical left Moses needs to be removed.

I don't understand how anyone who was a personal attorney to Donald Trump isn't automatically dismissed or eliminated due to conflict of interest.

Thank you for the correction on the McDonald's hot coffee case. I was one of the ones that brought that one up. Thank you for learning and doing better. ❤

Love the “three raccoons under a trench coat” comment. That would make a great logo for the Trump DOJ.
