It's Tuesday, March 11th.
I'm Jane Coston and this is what a day.
A show that felt pretty okay until it heard Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville talking to Larry Kudlow on his Fox show Monday where he said this.
We have no chance unless he does tariffs and holds people accountable to what's been going on.
I don't like where this is going.
On today's show, the Trump administration is asking undocumented images immigrants to self deport using the Customs and Border Patrol app.
And more than a million Americans could expect to see a hike in their utility bills as the tariff war on the northern border heats up.
But let's start with our series of conversations with Democratic attorneys general currently tasked with dealing with all of this.
On Monday, the Supreme Court announced that they decided to hear a case challenging Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for LGBTQ kids.
The plaintiff, a Christian therapist, argues that it is a violation of her First Amendment rights for the government to prevent her from helping her patients stop being gay, lesbian or transgender.
Of course, conversion therapy is stupid because there is absolutely nothing wrong with being lgbtq.
Also, it doesn't work and it causes real and lasting harm to the people who have endured it.
But the Supreme Court says, eh, let's hear this out.
As we've said, Democratic attorneys general are fighting a multi front war.
First, they're the top law enforcement officials in their states.
That means they are handling criminal cases and working on behalf of their constituents to stop, say, robocalls or debt collection fraud schemes.
But they're also having to battle the Trump administration's efforts to limit the ability of states to determine how their citizens live their lives.
From cases on birthright citizenship, to arguments over the administration's efforts to stop federal funding for services, from wildfire prevention to helping rural communities access much needed services, Democratic AGs have had to stand in the breach to say, actually the federal government can't just do that.
One of those Democratic attorneys general is Colorado AG Phil Weiser, whose state is at the center of the Supreme Court conversion therapy case.
I talked to AG Weiser on Monday afternoon.
