Episode 35: Too Big for Any State, Too Inconvenient for Washington

Send us Fan Mail Monday morning the Supreme Court opens its new term with Suncor Energy v. Commissioners of Boulder County, and the oil industry is asking the justices to make sure nobody can send them a bill for climate change in a state courtroom. Boulder sued ExxonMobil and Suncor in 2018. Roughly sixty similar suits are waiting on the answer. And with Justice Alito stepping aside, it's eight justices, not nine. Don Jackson and Daysha Voss take the case seriously, then take the shell game apart: the argument isn't "we didn't do it," it's "you can't ask us here," and every door it points to points at another door. Federal court, federal agency, federal lawsuits against the states. Then they turn the same reflex on themselves. Real language. No comfortable version. Plus: Newsbeat Breaking News updates on Yemen's new offensive near the Red Sea and the open question of ICE near polling places in November. Stay for the closing meditation with Daysha, "The Air Has No Jurisdiction." 🎧 Full written deep dive: prodigalbreakingnews.com 💬 Talk to the AI companion guide: prodigalai.app 🩷 This episode is brought to you by FemChoice — Don Jackson's own company, full disclosure.
