Trump Has Grabbed Emergency Powers. How Will He Use Them?
Manage episode 504735629 series 248
The Washington Roundtable, hosted by the staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos, is back in season. The co-hosts reflect on the news of this summer, discussing President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on nearly every major U.S. trading partner; his deployment of the National Guard on the streets of the capital; and his purges of agencies including the Department of Justice, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They also discuss what Trump might use emergency powers to do in the near future. “You don’t acquire all this power, and go to all this effort, and then not start to use it,” Glasser says.
This week’s reading:
- “How Many Court Cases Can Trump Lose in a Single Week?,” by Susan B. Glasser
- “Trump’s Department of Energy Gets Scienced,” by Bill McKibben
- “Texas Democrats’ Weapons of the Weak,” by Rachel Monroe
- “Do State Referendums on Abortion Work?,” by Peter Slevin
