Listen "Let's talk about Zeno's paradox"
Episode Synopsis
Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has ignored court rulings on a range of issues from press access to deportations. Now, a federal judge might hold him in criminal contempt of court. We’ll unpack the Zeno’s paradox of constitutional crises. Plus, where luxury goods actually come from and why you may want to think twice before buying one. And if you’re looking to zone out, turn on the “Great Moose Migration.”Here’s everything we talked about today:@kyledcheney.bsky.social on Bluesky“What happens if a president and the federal government fail to follow a judge's orders?” by NBC NewsJ.G.G., et al., v.
