Episode Rundown

SCOTUS Rules on Presidential Immunity

Our Democracy at Stake?

Listener Question and CTAs

It’s been an eventful week, y’all! 



IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said is the case for any “official” act taken by a sitting US President. Boy are they tearing this country up. 



To quote the dissenting opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, “Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune… In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.” Justice Soto, we join your dissent! 



The hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum dive into what this crisis of a ruling really means for the rest of us.



In what is undeniably a difficult political moment, we want to provide y’all some ways to take action. Don’t become despondent!! Support your local candidates and bolster Democratic forces near you AT THIS LINK. 



And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam. We are 127 number days away from the election. Welcome home y’all!

On this week’s MiniPod hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum warm up the grill ahead of the July 4th holiday to discuss who–and what–is invited to the cookout. 

What are you bringing with your plastic wrapped casserole dish? Better not be a store-bought baked good. And will liquor make or ruin the party?

Welcome home y’all!

Jamaal Bowman Loses Primary Race

Government Warns Against Social Media

Verzuz Distribution Deal with X/Twitter

Protests in Kenya

Listener Comment

CTAs

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum take a look at the democratic primary race between progressive Jamaal Bowman and moderate George Latimer. The race was the most expensive House primary race in US history for ad buys…but it’s more than just AIPAC money that impacted the outcome. Angela challenges the divide between Democrats and the group has some analysis that the mainstream missed. 



Then, it’s OFFICIAL—social media can be bad for you. As if we didn’t know! The Department of Health and Human Services issued new social media health guidelines for kids, while the Surgeon General called for social media to come with a warning label, like cigarettes. But how necessary are these measures, really? 



In Politics Are Everywhere, X, formerly known as Twitter, announced a distribution deal with Verzuz, which was created by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.  Folks were outraged at the pictures of Swizz and Timabland hanging out with Elon Musk and that the announcement came out Juneteenth. Did they sell out or is it Elon who’s getting played OR a little more nuanced?? 



Stick around for a SPICY conversation at the end of the show. Tiffany brings us news from Kenya, where the self-described Gen Z’ers have stormed Kenya’s parliament in protest of a highly unpopular tax bill. President Ruto has since conceded to the protestors’ demands and vetoed the bill. Tiffany finds parallels between the young people protesting in Kenya and our own youth-led protests here in the states, while Andrew hears echoes of another set of protestors. 



With the weather heating up, it’s a nice time to remind folks that the Summer EBT program is in full swing. You can find out how to get your SUN bucks at the USDA website. 



And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners. We are 131 days away from the election. Welcome home y’all!
