  • 272: ICE Freezes Out The 4th Amendment
    Jan 24 2026
    Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to put the spotlight on a memo telling ICE agents that they can enter homes without a warrant, explain whether these actions are prohibited by the 4th Amendment, and weigh the legality of the DOJ’s attempt to wield the FACE and KKK Acts against protestors. Then, the #Sisters lay out Trump’s latest attempt to undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve by trying to fire Lisa Cook, and review the Supreme Court’s response. They also discuss the DOJ’s disclosure that DOGE has potentially been misusing confidential information and how it contributes to the overall undermining of our rights. Start 2026 with style!

  • 271: Trump Threatens To Invoke The Insurrection Act
    Jan 17 2026
    Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the Insurrection Act in light of Trump’s threat to invoke it, examining historical precedent, how the act differs from the powers granted under similar laws, the necessary conditions for its use, and ways to peacefully resist. Then, the #Sisters review the validity of the administration’s announcement of a criminal investigation targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell for alleged false statements during a Senate hearing, and put it in the context of the wider war on independent agencies. They also investigate the merits of the FBI’s search of a WaPo journalist’s home and sound the alarm over the erosion of press freedoms. Start 2026 with style!
