  • Immigration Legislation

    Can you tell us whether Stephen Miller approached TN legislators about authoring bills, or did they ask him for help? Either way, it sends chills through me.

A nightmare execution in Tennessee
Q: Can I just start by saying what a nightmare?
The speakers describe the scene as a nightmare and horror show, emphasizing how unprecedented and disturbing the events felt, with delays and uncertainty looming over the day.
Joe Kennedy III: former U.S. Representative, diplomat and founder of Groundwork Project
Q: You into predictions?
Not into predictions; the guest emphasizes that winning isn't just about one side, and highlights the importance of credibility and public service over electoral fortune.
A new look at Nashville’s migrant population and the extreme loss of services they face under Trump
Q: Can you summarize what the Venezuelan doctor's story reveals about the challenges migrants face in Nashville?
Her experience shows that even when migrants reach safety, they confront professional barriers, legal uncertainties, and threats that compel them to adapt quickly, often without full access to the healthcare and employment opportunities they need to rebuild their lives.
Mindy Merrell and R.B. Quinn: authors of 'Self-Rising'
Q: What surprised you most in researching this history?
The extent to which radio, consumer brands, and even the music industry intertwined to propel a practical kitchen product into a cultural cornerstone, shaping both diet and entertainment.
Mindy Merrell and R.B. Quinn: authors of 'Self-Rising'
Q: Mindy, tell us about the role of the test kitchens and the blue shield on bags.
Test kitchens created standardization and trust in self-rising products, while the blue shield symbolized quality, much like Good Housekeeping, helping brands combat competing leaveners and reassure consumers about safety and consistency.
