Telos What Happened This Week
Shameless puppy pic edition
Sorry for the late-night email. I trekked to Alabama today to pick up this little guy from the good folks at Covey Flush Kennels:
Please send your dog training recs. I’m reading “The Art of Raising a Puppy,” by The Monks of New Skete, but I’m eager to hear other advice as well.
Week in review
On Monday, we talked to
about four of the key influences on Trump’s conception of an all-powerful executive.On Tuesday, Lauren Harper took us behind the scenes of how she obtained an extraordinary memo that undermines the Trump administration’s case for using the Alien Enemies Act.
On Wednesday, we talked to Judge Michael Luttig, who gave us a sobering review of Trump’s first 100 days. Luttig had this unsettling conclusion at the end of our conversation: “It would be impossible to say, after Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, that America has a government of laws, not of men.”
Also on Wednesday, I chatted with my old friend
, and Steve and I plan on making this a weekly event.On Thursday,
told us everything we need to know about airline safety at this fraught moment. I learned a great deal from this conversation, and I highly recommend it if you haven’t watched it yet.On Friday,
and I got into the weeds about Devin Nunes and my recent piece about the “Laptop of MAGA Secrets.”Finally, also on Friday, I had what turned out to be an enormously popular conversation with
about Trump’s decline, the expanding “circle of defiance,” and the big debates in the Democratic Party.If you like what we’re doing, please subscribe to the Telos News YouTube channel and consider upgrading to a paid subscription here at Substack. Thanks!
