Sidebar With Katie Phang - 9/2/2026 Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Today on Sidebar with Katie Phang, Katie breaks down a bombshell whistleblower report from the United States Postal Service exposing what has been described as an incompetent “shitshow” surrounding the agency’s new federal ballot portal, implemented at Trump’s direction. Whistleblower attorney David Kligerman joins Katie to explain the allegations and what they could mean for the integrity of the upcoming midterms. Katie also discusses the heartbreaking death of Pierre Damas Bel, a 20-year-old Haitian immigrant, honors student, and aspiring medical professional whose family says he became increasingly distressed after losing his immigration protections and being forced to wear an ICE ankle monitor. His tragic death is raising painful questions about the human toll of Trump’s immigration policies. Plus, Katie delivers an Epstein legal roundup, including the latest developments surrounding the Epstein Files Transparency Act in Congress and a closer look at Ghislaine Maxwell’s controversial prison transfer.
