In a week where political rhetoric reaches new levels of danger and America’s legal system braces for impact, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) sits down with the show’s resident legal heavyweight Asha Rangappa (FBI veteran, Yale professor, Substack baller) for an unfiltered, expert breakdown of the legal issues and headlines setting America aflame. Asha returns to help us parse Trump’s escalating and dangerous “seditious” threats to Democrat lawmakers who posted a video to the troops, the legality of US military interventions (like controversial drug boat strikes), and how lawmakers’ messaging to servicemembers and ongoing military operations could spark unprecedented legal and political crises. And, bringing insight and humor, Asha shares personal stories of navigating American colleges as both parent and professor, her unique role in interpreting military law, and why she loves the TV show “Love is Blind.”
