  • Fulton County Foolishness
    Mar 27 2026

    From both a prosecutorial and intelligence standpoint, the FBI’s raid of a Fulton County election office doesn’t pass the smell test.

    In this episode, Senator Whitehouse talks with Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, about the numerous red flags raised by the FBI’s search and seizure this past January. The two discuss DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the search, Trump’s Weaponization Working Group, the SAVE America Act, and more.

  • Unaccountable
    Feb 6 2026

    The reckless behavior of masked ICE agents on the streets of Minneapolis has been appalling to witness, and widely condemned by real law enforcement officers. Their misconduct must not be beyond the reach of law for people they have injured. Reforms and accountability are due.


    On this episode of Making the Case, Senator Whitehouse welcomes back Representative Hank Johnson, his House counterpart in leading the Bivens Act and Constitutional Accountability Act. Professors Mary Mason and Ed Maguire weigh in on policing reforms and how these two bills would increase accountability.

  • MAGA Madness
    Dec 5 2025

    If you’re looking for a high-profile job in the Trump Administration, loyalty to MAGA is the only requirement.

    In this episode, Senator Whitehouse welcomes Lisa Graves of True North Research back to the podcast to discuss how President Trump’s DOJ has gone after his political enemies, and the legal setbacks the Department has faced at the hands of unqualified loyalists who have been wrongly appointed as U.S. Attorneys. Whitehouse and Graves also set the scene on the dark money corruption swirling around the Supreme Court in advance of a key campaign finance case.
