Topics
Leah Littman: 我认为我们有必要发出真正的警告，因为我们将讨论严重且令人不安的工作场所性行为不端指控。我们讨论了前德克萨斯州检察长贾德·斯通的案件，他被指控在工作场所发表不当言论和性幻想。诉讼中描述的行为令人震惊，任何人在工作场所都不应受到这样的对待。我们还强调了这些指控与斯通之前捍卫的残酷政策之间的联系，例如 SB-8 和针对变性人的法律。我认为这些指控与他之前捍卫的政策之间存在联系，因为这些家伙对生殖器和性行为着迷。 Melissa Murray: 我认为我们应该关注这些指控的严重性，以及它们如何反映了共和党内部更广泛的问题。我们还应该关注这些指控与斯通之前捍卫的残酷政策之间的联系。我认为这些指控与他之前捍卫的政策之间存在联系，因为这些家伙对生殖器和性行为着迷。 Kate Shaw: 我认为我们应该关注这些指控对斯通职业生涯的影响，以及它们如何可能影响了他未来的职业发展。我们还应该关注这些指控对其他在类似情况下工作的个人的影响。我认为这些指控与他之前捍卫的政策之间存在联系，因为这些家伙对生殖器和性行为着迷。

Then, the hosts welcome special guests Ambassador Norm Eisen and Emily Amick, author of the Substack, Emily in Your Phone), to talk about the avalanche of litigation against the Trump administration and reproductive rights (and wrongs), respectively.
