I am your host today, Melissa Murray, and the court is still on summer recess, which means that we at Strict Scrutiny are still keeping summer hours, which means that I am delighted to be joined by a fantastic guest host today.

for true social change.

They're good to have, but what you need is visibility, a seat at the table, and structural influence.

All to say, I cannot think of a better person, Rashad, to join me today to break down this week's legal news and help us think about how we move beyond our current moment, because what a moment it is.
matched
Absolutely.

Okay, so here's what I have on tap for today, Rashad.

We're going to start with us discussing some legal news, including the Trump administration's plan to use the IRS and tax-exempt status to resegregate American education.
matched
Because why not?
