Speeding Toward the Authoritarian Cliff with Kim Wehle

Kim Wehle is a tenured law professor, constitutional law expert, author, and legal analyst who specializes in presidential power, civil procedure, and the separation of powers. Today, Jo and Kim dive into the “fear bubble” so many Americans are stuck in: insulated lives, rising authoritarian threats, and the chilling new reality of criminalizing dissent. Kim breaks down Trump’s latest moves, and how quickly people are giving up or tuning out, thinking these threats are someone else’s problem.From real talk about what keeps Kim up at night (“Are you worried? Are you afraid?”) to Jo’s frustration shopping at Aldi while the world burns, they give clarity about what’s at stake if this slide accelerates.
