Stay Tuned with Preet

• Law & Order, Hold the Law

  In an excerpt from this week’s Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the agreement between the D.C. government and the Trump administration, facilitated by a federal judge, preserving the local government’s authority over its police force. The resolution stemmed from the D.C. Attorney General’s lawsuit challenging Trump’s takeover of the District’s police and his deployment of the National Guard. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:  – A federal appellate court’s decision allowing the Trump administration to continue to withhold billions of dollars in foreign aid; and – The voter fraud charges brought against a group of Latino Democratic political leaders in Texas for so-called “ballot harvesting.” CAFE Insiders click HERE to listen to the full analysis.  Not an Insider?

• Why Good Laws Aren’t Enough (with Martha Minow)

  Should the law be more forgiving? Martha Minow, former dean of Harvard Law School, joins Preet for a wide-ranging conversation on what justice means today—inside and beyond the courtroom. They discuss the erosion of public trust in the legal system, the dangers of outcome-driven thinking, and why Minow believes we can’t “achieve” justice. Plus, they explore how self-interest in the Trump era has eroded our institutions, from the Supreme Court to Congress. In the bonus for Insiders, Minow explores whether judges should be more outspoken amid the rise of political attacks, death threats, and a breakdown in civic education. Then, Preet answers listener questions. Join the CAFE Insider community to stay informed without hysteria, fear-mongering, or rage-baiting. Head to cafe.com/insider to sign up.

• Can Democrats Win Back Rural America? (with Joe Kennedy III)

  Joe Kennedy III is trying to rebuild Democratic power from the ground up—in places where the party has long been written off. The former Massachusetts congressman joins Preet to talk about his work with the Groundwork Project, an organization supporting grassroots organizing in rural America. They discuss what it means to do politics outside the spotlight, his disagreements with his uncle RFK Jr., and how Kennedy is navigating legacy, loss, and the long game of building trust where Democrats have stopped showing up. Then, Preet answers questions about posthumous criminal charges, whether a pardon can be revoked, and how we decide what to cover on this show.  In the bonus for Insiders, Kennedy discusses his work in Northern Ireland, and what we can learn from the country’s violent past.
