    Rachel sat down for a chat with Devon Heinen, a journalist with States Newsroom who principally writes for the Tennessee Lookout . States Newsroom has created State Capitol level coverage with sites like Missouri Independent, Iowa Capitol Dispatch, Kansas Reflector, and more. Listeners of our shows often hear us cite to these sources because they have proven themselves to be quality journalism that takes the work of reporting facts with context seriously. Devon is no exception to that rule.

    Quick touch on Immunity case and encouraging folks to listen to the episodeReminder: Chevron case is, in all reality, a bigger deal: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/06/chevron-doctrine-supreme-court-rulingMissouri GOP Held A Fake Convention…https://missouriindependent.com/2024/07/02/missouri-presidential-delegates-rejected-by-republican-national-convention-committee/The Missouri Republican Party must replace 54 national convention delegates and alternates selected at its chaotic state convention because of “alarming irregularities” in the process, the Republican National Convention Committee on Contests ruled Friday. The list of rejected delegates includes two of the major GOP candidates for governor, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and state Sen. Bill Eigel. “The committee holds that the State Convention was not properly credentialed, and that any slate of delegates and alternate delegates adopted at the State Convention must be discarded,” states the report signed by Chairwoman Jeanne Luckey of Mississippi.https://www.newsweek.com/missouri-republicans-delegate-selection-trump-1921842 Pulled from our May 8th episode: Missouri GOP convention was just as unproductive, couldn’t even adopt a new platform: https://www.lakeexpo.com/news/politics/high-drama-at-missouri-republican-convention-as-grassroots-boots-leadership/article_4a70706a-0be6-11ef-8713-470db31ecca4.htmlYou don’t F***ing sayGOP house members talking corporate tax… hikeshttps://www.semafor.com/article/07/02/2024/house-republican-support-grows-for-corporate-tax-increase-threatening-key-part-of-trumps-economic-legacyUp to 10 Republican House lawmakers are open to increasing the corporate tax rate, a senior GOP member estimated, possibly threatening Donald Trump’s future plans if he is reelected. Trump’s 2017 tax cuts lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, a move hailed by businesses. While that levy is permanent, a host of other lower rates are set to expire at the end of 2025 and some Republicans are balking at the $4.5 trillion price tag of extending them, setting up a major policy fight for the next president.Yeah… Yeah… (I think)Arizona GOP member speaks up, loudly, about BS Election claimshttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/05/arizona-election-denialism-jan-brewer 2024 Election EraIt’s been a week since the debate. Biden did an interview on ABC with George Stephanopolis, Trump’s camp, meanwhile, has apparently discovered that a major push to educate people on Project 2025 from The Heritage Foundation is NOT good for him as he pretends to know nothing about it and disagree with it.
