The messaging continues to shift by the hour, talks, threats, ceasefires, sanctions, military pressure...it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what the actual strategy is anymore. We’ll also discuss Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to the Vatican to meet with Pope Leo XIV after months of tensions fueled by Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on the pope over the Iran war and other issues. Then we pivot back to the growing list of legal and political cases raising concerns about the state of American democracy, including the Louise Lucas case and broader questions about the use of government power, political retaliation, and election interference fears ahead of the midterms. Don is in transit this morning, so attorney, legal analyst, and friend of the show Monique Pressley will be guest hosting. Want to see more from Monique Pressley?
