Mike & May open the preview of this supporters-exclusive midweek episode by discussing May’s recent testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government’s hearing on gender-affirming care. They get into the legal authority for a recently proposed Department of Education regulation on sports participation as well as the larger issue of gender-affirming care.
Next, they turn to a special election in Ohio that would raise the bar for approving state constitutional amendments. They discuss why this is coming up now, if it’s too easy for states to change their constitutions, and if the US Constitution is too difficult to change.
They close with a discussion of recent research on the effects of social media on political knowledge, attitudes, and polarization, concluding that studies that Meta has argued absolve them of responsibility (at least in part) for coarsening political discourse in reality do no such thing.
