Descripción

---------------------------------------- Lisa Rubin walked away from one of the country's most prestigious corporate law firms at 40 — not toward a plan, but because she'd slowly lost the thread of why she'd become a lawyer in the first place. That reinvention led her directly to the stories that implicate everything she'd spent a decade serving. She's now MSNOW's senior legal reporter, covering the Trump trials, the erosion of DOJ independence, and the Epstein files. She has read thousands of pages of documents. She has wept on the phone with survivors. She still believes in the rule of law with the fervor of a religion. We talk about what it cost her to leave a career she'd built her identity around, what she has seen in the Epstein files that most people aren't fully reckoning with, and what it looks like to keep faith in a system that keeps letting you down.

Staying in the Ring with Brad Lander

This episode was recorded at NYU Law and sponsored by the NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy and the NYU Chapter of the American Constitution Society. Brad Lander keeps showing up when most people would walk away. He cross-endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the middle of a mayoral race he was still running. He went back to 26 Federal Plaza three times to accompany asylum seekers out of the building—until ICE grabbed him too. He said publicly what many Jewish leaders won't about Gaza, knowing the cost. He came in third—and he's not done. We talk about what his parents taught him about being in community, why the job of neighbor now asks more than it ever has, and what it means to stay in the ring—with your coalition, your community, your conscience—when every instinct says protect yourself.
