Federal Rulemaking Explained

Get tickets for the #SistersInLaw Live Show in Denver, Colorado, on 4/23/26 at politicon.com/tour 

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to expose the Trump administration’s attempts to weaken trust in our elections by sending the FBI to investigate the 2020 election results in Maricopa County, Arizona, and highlight the pushback by the state’s Democrats.  Then, the #Sisters explain the federal rule-making process and a proposal by the DOJ under Pam Bondi seeking to protect its members from State Bar Associations.  They also review the latest developments in the Pentagon’s war on Anthropic after it took a stand, including the designation of the company as a supply-chain risk, the lawsuits filed in protest, and Hegseth’s authoritarian behavior.

#SistersInLaw has launched a new companion podcast: #SistersInLaw Sidebar, airing Wednesdays wherever you normally get your podcasts!
