In Which We Discuss:

1. Ben Softness, our resident legal expert, who is in no way representing the views of Alphabet Inc., joins us to discuss the recent Trump legal action. (Skip to 39:02 to start there)

2. Can we move on, as a people, from caring about Taylor Swift?

3. If a tree falls in the South Carolina primary, and no voters hear it, did an election actually occur?

4. Hot takes from a low stakes California senate candidate forum.

5. New potential immigration bill might be a paperwork nightmare for drug cartels.
