Summary

Doree and Elise speak with University of Michigan Law School Professor and Strict Scrutiny podcaster Leah Litman about the incoming Trump Administration. She discusses how you don’t have to accept the inevitable, how you can politically “gum up the works” of government as a form of resistance, the top three things to look out for as the Trump Administration takes over, and a solution to being involved when you only want to curl up in the fetal position.
