Protests, Emergency Powers, and Petty Feuds

This week, with the military deployed to LA and readying to parade in DC, Jon is joined by Jill Lepore, Professor of History and Law at Harvard University, and Kevin M. Kruse, Professor of History at Princeton University. Together, they consider what history reveals about moments when presidential power tests democratic limits, and discuss ways that institutions might resist. Plus, hear new insights on the Trump vs Musk quarrel, as well as surprising parallels between Jurassic Park and Trump’s first 100 days.
