Episode Description from the Publisher

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS case over a FOIA request seeking DOGE transparency, the legal arguments, government accountability under Trump, and what the decision will mean for future information requests.  Then, the #Sisters expose MAGA’s war on the environment and disaster preparedness, looking at emergency preparedness during the fire season, the environmental concerns over Trump’s plans for a golf course in DC, and enforcing government compliance with court orders.  They also review the DOJ’s intervention into California’s mail-in voting, its effect on our elections, and the need for a robust pro-democracy platform from MAGA’s opponents.Remember to send in audio questions to SistersInLaw@politicon.com for the #Sisters to answer on their new companion podcast, SistersInLaw Sidebar!  It airs Wednesdays wherever you normally get your podcasts!Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at politicon.com/merch! Additional #SistersInLaw ProjectsCheck out Jill’s Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsCheck out Kim’s Newsletter: The GavelJoyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here. Barb is on a book tour!  You can also order Barb’s new book, The Fix.
