#JenRubin:
Trial of #DonaldTrump on charges of #FalsificationOfBusinessRecords is coming 2 close. Defence & prosecution have rested, next week closing statements will be made→jury will decide his fate. Evidence against Trump was strong, but he did not use trial 2 appear defiant or strong. Instead, he slept through parts of it & complained about the temp. His behavior damaged himself & the #RepublicanParty. If he is convicted, it will be largely because of his own actions

"Jen is joined by master political strategist #SimonRosenberg to discuss why polling vastly overestimated the non-existent so-called Red Wave in 2022 and how the results of the special elections since then demonstrate that the electorate is continuing to punish Republicans. They explore how the Dobbs decision, Supreme Court radicalism, Trump and his party’s attempts to overturn the election, the possibility of a government shutdown, and their inability to moderate is giving democratic candidates positive numbers not seen in decades. Building upon the decline in inflation and other successful policies, is a Blue Wave coming?"

New episode of #JenRubinsGreenRoom ft #BillBrowder

"Jen is joined by finance expert and human rights campaigner Bill Browder for an inside look at the corruption and oppression in Putin’s Russia that directly targeted Bill’s company and friends. In their conversation they cover Putin’s massive theft from businesses operating there, how he uses torture and violence against his political enemies, and why defeating him in Ukraine is essential to protecting freedom and democracy around the world. They also discuss how the bi-partisan Magnitsky Act is one of the most effective weapons in the war because of its power to freeze accounts and directly target the oligarchs behind the invasion. Now that it is being passed in dozens of other countries, are we gaining the upper hand?"

"With Trump racking up another indictment in Georgia, Jen sits down with legal maven Rep. #DanGoldman to dive into the charges he faces. During their conversation they explore how RICO prosecutions work to bring down criminal enterprises and why it strengthens the possibility of conviction, and explain why the jury pool won’t be corrupted by politics or wild rhetoric from Donald. They also emphasize the need to ground the law in objective reality, and shut down comparisons to the Biden family– especially when the Trump family has exhibited far more evident corruption. Will this be the case that finally holds the former president to account?"

New episode of #JenRubinsGreenroom !

“@JenRubin welcomes NYU journalism professor @jayrosen_nyu to discuss the modern media ecosystem and how the classic both sides approach and opinion free corporate coverage is failing us with repeated coverage centered on crisis. They also examine the pressures on journalists from institutions, and more importantly what it will take to fix things. Will re-establishing truths over savviness with a focus on transferring knowledge from a position of expertise be enough to tame the rising populist passions that rely on misinformation to spread?”

“Jen is joined by author and activist #FredGuttenberg to tackle the pressing need to address gun violence, how we can fight back, and what our government needs to do to protect the vulnerable. In their conversation they explore the obscene power of the NRA and the mythologies supporting weapons of war, how to construct a legal strategy that can start securing electoral and legislative wins, and the power of activism. They also share the reasons we should have for hope, and more importantly ask how we can use our voices most effectively to end senseless gun violence?”
