Good you're here, Preet. Thank you. I wish I could afford a paid subscription but can't at this time. I very much appreciate your letting free subscribers comment.

Looking forward to your presence on Substack. As a NYS resident I’ve always appreciated your role as a prosecutor in our government.

I have a question I’d love to have answered. There is so much happening that is obviously illegal (e.g the gold plane, ongoing grift of bitcoin, sending people to El Salvador without due process, and my most basic assessment that the idiot and his regime each took an oath to protect our constitution) when and how can these people get arrested and be held accountable? 8would love to feel there’s an end in sight. Thanks.

You know I have thought of that too…

And maybe that is why it seems so comparatively (overall) bloody quiet. And especially this time-around in Congress. It’s extremely perceptible. Like, what plans are they formulating? Anything?

I have the same question. And strangely and disturbingly I have not heard this asked in such simply terms — earnest terms — by anyone anywhere thus far. In the media. It is such an obvious question. Why is it being ignored? I get that it begs the next question, how can arrests ever be potentially made if not for a newly elected democratic administration to take office. And when would that be? If at all? Maybe it’s not being discussed because no one yet seems seriously able to envision that as a possibility…. Which is even MORE disturbing. You’d just think that somebody Somewhere would be working out the details. And yet, they’re not. Not Preet, not Laurence Tribe, not Robert Reich…Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at my Alma mater and lives in my hometown. Granted it’s been only 113 days of the second Trump admin., but geese this isn’t our first rodeo. Isn’t somebody somewhere finally giving this serious enough thought to discuss? Are even they afraid?

I agree with your thoughts. One thing that rambles about in my brain is that maybe, just maybe there is a group who is planning this takedown, but no one is commenting so they aren’t showing their hand. I think back to the first gulf war when there was a ton of misdirection out there as a distraction and suddenly the war was over. Yes, I probably read too many spy craft and mystery novels, but I guess I’m just hopeful.

So what happens to your fans who paid for Cafe Insider. When I go there, it no longer recognizes me as a paid subscriber.

Hi Maggie! If you’re a CAFE Insider member, you’ll continue to receive the Insider podcast and all the other Insider benefits through your existing subscription, just as you always have!

Yeaaaaaah - it feels off that I'm an Insider but can't engage in convos here tied to a Substack subscription

Advice?

Hoping for the answer. Probably still being worked out.

Similar question. I would like to convert my existing membership to access both podcasts - as I have been for 7 years - as well as the Substack (although I have to say the Substack user experience is not great… :( )

Thank you Preet for teaching us the adult way to argue and debate and more importantly how to think about important issues. Hating Trump is not the solution, fighting the horrendous concepts that the “Right” espouses is the real challenge! Don’t fall in the trap of thinking that Trump is the problem, he is only the portion of the iceberg that is above water.

Getting a bit confusing to those of us who have subscribed via Cafe.com. Email last week said we did not need to subscribe here, but I think I'm seeing content here that is not on Cafe? Maybe I'm wrong. I dunno.

Listening to Stay Tuned and the Insider podcast has kept me sane from both Trump administrations. I am glad to see you moving onto Substack. There are many great writers, thinkers and artists here.

I'm confused - I subscribe to Stay Tuned, but need to pay for another sub to your substack for the live content?

It’s time we had every Senator and Congressman read their oath of office on the house floor and senate floor before they say another word!

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and …

Thank you PreetBhara for your 7 years of informative podcast interviews. I will miss you but understand how time consuming producing them must be.

Hi Preet. Will Cafe Insider still be coming as it's own podcast? I just recently renewed my membership.
