Normally Podcast: Amy Coney Barrett Threats, Supreme Court Security, New York's AI Data Center Ban & the Return of Cigarettes

Are America's Supreme Court justices facing an unprecedented wave of political intimidation?

On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz examine the growing security threats against Supreme Court justices, including the swatting of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and renewed calls for increased protection after years of escalating political violence. They discuss whether threats against public officials are becoming normalized and why stronger enforcement may be needed.

The conversation then shifts to New York's controversial decision to halt new AI data center development. Is the Empire State driving away billions in investment, high-paying jobs, and America's AI future? Mary Katharine and Karol break down the debate over data centers, electricity, water usage, and why they believe the U.S. can't afford to fall behind China in the AI race.
