Politics and Reality Radio –Everything Is Awful; The Big Lie Behind Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban’; More Bathroom Bills?
with Joshua Holland
This week, we’ll play an excerpt from a previous interview with Rebecca Hamlin, an assistant professor of legal studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and an expert on refugee resettlement. She shoots down the very premise of Trump’s hamfisted and likely unconstitutional “Muslim ban.”
Then we’ll be joined by Ryan Cooper from The Week to discuss the flurry of outrageous executive orders that have come out of the Trump White House during the first week of his regime.
Finally, we’ll speak to Salon columnist Amanda Marcotte about Trump’s move to reinstate the global “gag rule” for information on abortion, a new fetal heartbeat bill making its way through Congress and Texas wingnuts following North Carolina’s bold adventure in potty-politics with its own “bathroom bill.”
