Devastation at the DOJ w/ Stacey Young from The Justice Connection
Since the beginning of the second Trump administration, the Department of Justice has been equal parts reviled and remade by the White House. Much, if not most, of that damage has been done to the FBI and the department's civil rights initiatives that for the last half century have made sure schools are safe for kids, our workplaces were free from discrimination, that our votes mattered and we could vote, and that corporations follow the law.
But those things have been gutted and in some cases, shut down in all but name.
In this week's interview, Grant talks to Stacey Young. Young is a former DOJ lawyer of 18 years who left the department in January. Since then, she started the group The Justice Connection, which aims to help former DOJ employees fight back against an administration that's been weaponized against them.
