BY ELLINE LIPKIN | I can’t think of a parent who doesn’t look ahead to summer months with simultaneous relief from the morning scramble and trepidation at the loss of set hours their child is cared for at school.

Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In this episode, we continue our series: Fifteen Minutes of Feminism— The Trump Indictments: Found Guilty! (with Moira Donegan).

In this episode, we unpack the criminal charges that Donald Trump engaged in illegal business, electoral and campaign activities. This week, we’re rejoined by Moira Donegan to discuss why the New York trial was about more than about “hush money” and how the case marks the first time a former president has stood trial for criminal prosecution and been convicted.
