Part One: Mark Joseph Stern from Slate joins us to talk about the potential for a strike at Slate by their relatively newly formed union. We also talk about two of Mark’s recent pieces, “Federal Court Rules You Have the Right to Record the Cops – Even in Secret,” and “A Conservative Judge Torched Donald Trump’s Latest Illegal Assault on Immigrants.”
Part Two: We speak with Alex Shephard of the New Republic about two of his latest articles, “Trump’s Reelection Doesn’t Hinge on a Recession – Once Again the Conventional Wisdom Doesn’t Apply to This President,” and “Slim Pickings for the Democratic Establishment.” Deval Patrick is the latest moderate to announce he won’t run for office, leaving Beto and Biden as the favorites of team Obama.
