Data Centers, Police Surveillance, and the Fight for Democracy (w/ Katie Phang)

Can state legislation be the key to saving our democracy? Lawyer, political commentator, and host of the Sidebar podcast Katie Phang joins Stacey to unpack Americans’ growing frustration with data centers, the rise of police surveillance, and why Democrats shouldn’t just “take a page from the GOP’s political playbook, but full-on chapters.” They also break down some of the week’s biggest legal stories, from the Miami-Dade Police Department to Trump’s renovation projects and the latest Todd Blanche hearings.
