  • Awesome

    I have listened to this broadcast for many years from Canada. Trump’s actions have now been found unconstitutional. He will not be in the White House forever and hopefully the midterms will right some of his reprehensible actions.

  • Israeli Propaganda

    I can’t believe the propaganda coming from PBS. PBS is supporting a genocide. This must be the new Trump version of PBS. I can’t subscribe anymore

  • Great content, but why so many ads suddenly?

    Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DOJ threatens to arrest state election officials if noncitizens vote
Q: Are states worried about this as a real threat or more as a pressure tactic?
States view it as both a pressure campaign and a real threat, with funding implications and criminal penalties cited, though officials emphasize that actual noncitizen voting remains extremely rare and that administration continues to focus on accurate ballot handling.
DOJ threatens to arrest state election officials if noncitizens vote
Q: So Jessica, which states exactly received this letter and what exactly is the DOJ asking for here?
All states received the letter, and it reiterates that non-citizen voting is illegal while outlining steps to ensure compliance and warning of potential penalties; the guest notes the practical impact is the pressure and confusion it creates for election offices.
Trump says ceasefire is 'over' as U.S. launches more strikes on Iran
Q: So Nick, what can you tell us about these strikes?
Nick provides on-the-ground updates and notes that U.S. officials are targeting Iranian radar, missiles, air defense, and other IRGC targets, while Trump oscillates between demanding a ceasefire and warning against long-term conflict.
More Democrats call for Platner to drop Maine Senate bid after sexual assault accusation
Q: Steve, what's the timeline ahead? If he does drop out, when does he have to do so by?
He must withdraw by 5 p.m. on the Monday deadline, with formal notice to the Secretary of State; doing so would allow the Maine Democratic Party to nominate a replacement, initiating a brief but crucial window for a transparent selection process.
U.S. launches new strikes on Iran after attacks on tankers in Strait of Hormuz
Q: Based on what we know so far, what's your read on what's happening in and around the Strait of Hormuz?
The situation is highly turbulent, with multiple vessels attacked or threatened, and the maritime traffic patterns shifting as various actors reassess risk and routing options; the overall impression is that the region remains highly unstable and responses will influence future shipping corridors and insurance risk.
