Mahmodd Khalil described being seized by DHS agents in front of his visibly pregnant American wife, held incommunicado, and transported across the country without access to lawyers or any clear explanation, all after being labeled a foreign policy threat for speaking out against the killing of Palestinians and serving as a visible negotiator in Columbia protests; he says the government never charged him with a crime, later tried to justify his detention through a fabricated green-card issue, and that both the Trump administration and Columbia University played roles in targeting him and other Palestinian students. He also spoke about the trauma of ICE detention, describing harsh conditions, isolation, and the psychological pressure placed on detainees to give up and sign deportation orders, while emphasizing that his fight is not just for himself but for free speech, dignity, and accountability for broader abuses in the system.Subscribe to Fast Politics and listen 4x a week for interviews just like this on your favorite podcast app: https://episodes.fm/1645614328

The Lincoln Project's Stuart Stevens argues that Jack Smith is being unfairly targeted and that Republicans are wasting time on partisan hearings instead of focusing on voters’ economic concerns, calling the attacks on Smith, Fauci, higher education, and accountability examples of an extremist, anti-intellectual movement. He says the GOP has become the “anti-law-and-order” party, criticizes Trump and JD Vance as political liabilities, and describes several candidates and controversies as revealing how deeply the party has embraced Trumpism. Stevens also warns that Republicans have no real governing agenda, points to Trump’s low favorable ratings and ongoing damage to the party, and urges Democrats to run boldly, seek accountability, and use power aggressively if they win by pursuing investigations, impeachment, and other major actions against what he sees as widespread criminality and misconduct.
