Joe Kennedy III is a former member of Congress from Massachusetts. Since leaving the House in 2021 following his unsuccessful primary challenge to incumbent Senator Ed Markey, Kennedy has been focused on supporting grassroots political organizing. He’s also heavily involved in the Legal Services Corporation, which funds civil legal assistance to low-income Americans. Preet spoke with Kennedy about the LSC’s new report on the “Justice Gap,” the cost of public service, and the blessings and baggage of growing up a Kennedy.
Plus, Preet breaks down the bombshell report that DOJ is investigating Trump’s actions related to January 6th, and Steve Bannon’s conviction on charges of contempt of Congress.
In the bonus for CAFE Insiders, Kennedy discusses his harrowing experience on his first day in Professor Elizabeth Warren’s Harvard Law School class. To listen, try the membership for just $1 for one month: cafe.com/insider.
