Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s attacks on the 1st Amendment through his invalidation of the historic press corps, how he’s taken control over journalistic access to the White House, and his bizarre edicts attempting to enshrine his policy preferences into the public conversation.

They also examine the excesses of DOGE and if those unjustly targeted have any recourse.
