First They Came for John Bolton

Trump's FBI raids the home of John Bolton—the former first-term
Trump advisor turned vocal critic—as the President escalates his
use of state power to target and threaten anyone who's criticized
him, most recently Chris Christie, Wes Moore, ABC News, and NBC
News. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to those threats and all of
this week's fascist horrors, including the arming of the National
Guard in D.C., the administration's pending deployment of troops
to Chicago, and ICE's plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the
Maryland man they wrongly sent to CECOT, to Uganda unless he
pleads guilty to a set of dubious charges brought against him in
Tennessee. Then, economic writer James Surowiecki sits down with
Lovett to talk about the Trump administration's unprecedented
acquisition of Intel stock—and what it signals to other major
companies.
