What Next | Trump Sends in the Troops

When immigration raids began in the Los Angeles area last weekend, so did spontaneous protests. On Sunday, Trump federalized 2,000 California national guardsmen in response. While Trump stopped short of invoking the Insurrection Act, he claimed authority to send troops wherever ICE operations might be contested by mass demonstrations. Guest: Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. Want more What Next?

Slate Money | Let’s TACO ‘Bout It

This week: Prices are going up, but inflation data has become unreliable under Trump. Felix Salmon, Emily Peck and Elizabeth Spiers discuss how staffing cuts at The Bureau of Labor Statistics have called economic data into question, and what that means for our economy. Then, someone went ahead and told Trump what TACO stands for and he’s pissed. The hosts discuss how a markets term coined by finance journalist Robert Armstrong went mainstream and whether Trump knowing about it changes anything. And finally, does Gen Z hate reading or not? What are these kinds of stories really telling us? In the Slate Plus episode: The most anticipated fight is ON! Want to hear that discussion and hear more Slate Money?

Amicus | There Is No Musk-Trump Feud Without The Roberts Court

Money talks, and sometimes it speaks as law by fiat from the highest court in the land. In this episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick delves into the impact of money on the judiciary and, eventually, on, democracy with Michael Podhorzer, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. They discuss how the many faces of big money in America, currently personified by Elon Musk and Donald Trump, have shaped the Supreme Court and government regulations. They explore the implications of recent court decisions, the downfall of unions, and the crucial role of collective action in preserving democracy. Michael Podhorzer also writes a weekly newsletter, Weekend Reading. This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate’s coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June.

What Next: TBD | Is Palantir Building a Data Big Brother?

One of the goals of DOGE was to get rid of the “silos” that keep government agencies from sharing freely amongst themselves efficiently and instead organize data using tools offered by companies like Palantir. The thing is, a lot of those silos are there by design, and removing them could be a nightmare for privacy advocates. Guest: Sheera Frenkel, tech reporter for the New York Times.

What Next | She Was Tortured. America Shut Her Out.

Since January, the Trump administration has suspended the right to claim asylum at the southern border. One narrower form of protection—for those who had been tortured by their governments—was supposed to remain. But lawyers have realized that even that appears to be gone. Guest: Mark Betancourt, freelance reporter covering immigration from DC, who wrote “This Ethiopian Woman Was Tortured by Her Government. The US is Sending Her Home Anyway” for KQED.

Just heard your guest expressing his view about being thanked for his service- he is entitled to his view, but I can tell you his opinion is not the only one, although others do share it. Many, many vets are gratified by the affection. & gratitude of others. I practiced psychiatry for decades, as well as being mother of a combat vet. There are times when all the positivity in a vets life comes from Strangers. That can be a lifesaver, believe me.

Just tried to listen to the bonus episode from Slate money on Elon Musk. Got through one minute and then had to turn it off because your host interrupts people continuously. Annoying to listen to a sort of overall generally disrespectful.

This just relates to today’s “what next” episode - Mary Harris asked some “just asking questions”-questions about Israel’s approach to warfare with enemies that are, how shall I say, just a bit different than the enemies most countries are facing. “From the inception of Hezbollah to the present, the elimination of the State of Israel has been one of Hezbollah's primary goals.” (Wikipedia) Mary Harris, if you fully ignore this fact while asking the questions you ask, that’s plain bad journalism. I’m tempted to say “do your homework” but obviously you know this about Hezbollah.
