  • How the Supreme Court expanded Trump's power

    How the Supreme Court expanded Trump's power
    Jun 29 2026
    The president can now fire most independent regulators, ending a nearly century-old precedent. Mark Joseph Stern, who covers the courts and the law for Slate, weighs in on the consequential opinion.

    Then, Alan Blinder, former vice chair of the Federal Reserve, talks about a separate but related decision that upholds the independence of the Federal Reserve.

    And, a new bridge between the U.S. and Canada has been built but the Trump administration won't allow it to open. Michigan Public Radio's Rick Pluta explains how it may be an apt metaphor for a low point in U.S.-Canada relations.

  • Octavia Butler imagined the future on this typewriter

    Octavia Butler imagined the future on this typewriter
    Jun 26 2026
    Every storyteller has a tool: a notebook, a camera, a microphone. For legendary author Octavia Butler, it was a powder blue typewriter. That typewriter is now in the Smithsonian Institution's Anacostia Community Museum, and acting curator Jennifer Sieck explains Butler’s influence on the country’s history.

    And, the megalodon was one of the biggest fish that ever lived, with seven-inch-long teeth and jaws with 40,000 pounds of bite force. Don’t worry: The megalodon swam between 3.6 and 23 million years ago. But you can still see a model hanging from the ceiling in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. Curator Nick Pyenson explains why Americans remain fascinated with megalodons.

  • Supreme Court makes it easier to deport immigrants

    Supreme Court makes it easier to deport immigrants
    Jun 25 2026
    The Supreme Court issued several opinions today that advance the Trump administration's agenda on immigration, gun access and the environment.

    It ended Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, allowing them to be deported. It overturned a law in Hawaii that required people get permission before bringing a gun on private property. And, it sided with the manufacturer of Roundup after multiple lawsuits claimed the weed killer caused cancer.

    President and CEO of Global Refuge, Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, and law professor Kate Shaw join us to break down the decisions.
