  • 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.

    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!

'Shadow surge' pushes immigration arrests to highs as Trump administration shifts tactics

Press pool declines to cover Trump in protest of his ban on news outlets
Q: What exactly is the press pool and why does it exist?
