Part of a Series

Jesse O’Connell, senior vice president of Education at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, joins the podcast to talk about oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court on President Joe Biden’s student debt relief plan; threats to affirmative action; and MAGA extremist attacks on school curricula. Colin and lead producer Erin Phillips also discuss revelations about Fox News’ role in propagating election denialism and the radical agenda of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
