A New Electoral Maneuver. 

President Trump ordered the creation of a national voter registry and measures to restrict mail-in voting amid unfounded claims of election fraud. The move comes as his legislative proposal—the SAVE Act—remains stalled in Congress. Election officials in several states say they will challenge the orders in court. How should this strategy be understood? What is behind the push to limit access to the ballot? What is its legal viability?

Guest: Monica Sandschafer, Arizona State Director, Mi Familia Vota, Phoenix, AZ.

Bondi and the Epstein Case. Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had been called to testify before a House committee over her alleged “mismanagement” of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier implicated in the trafficking of minors. This report examines what’s behind the dismissal and what to expect about the official investigation into the Epstein files.

Guest: Jose Lopez Zamorano, Correspondent, Washington, DC.
