    Shutting Down and Finding Out Oct 27, 2025
    Show notes

    Isn’t a government shutdown supposed to be a crisis? The Republicans, in control of the White House, Congress and Supreme Court haven’t taken steps to end it on their own, and the ship may have already sailed on the only real ask from the Democrats. So what now?

    Did The Trump Administration Censor Speech? Oct 26, 2025
    Show notes

    For years, conservatives claimed that the Biden administration was pressuring tech companies to censor conservative speech with no solid evidence.


    In Trump 2.0, the administration is explicitly bragging about doing the very same thing they accused democrats of. What gives?


    Guest: Renée DiResta, Associate Research Professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown and author of “Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality”

    This week’s AWS outage illustrates just how fragile and vulnerable our interconnected world really is—and how far we’ve fallen from the vision of a decentralized internet.

    Is the Peanut Allergy Dead? Oct 23, 2025
    Show notes

    Thousands of children may be avoiding peanut allergies thanks to research indicating that early exposure to—rather than avoidance of—the legume is key. Now there’s reason to believe this is true for tons of allergens – and that the great “pandemic” of kid food allergies never needed to happen.

    Guest: Dr. David Hill, attending physician with the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and The Hill Lab.

    Why So Many Racist Group Chats? Oct 22, 2025
    Show notes

    Right after JD Vance was done dismissing concerns about racism in a group chat of GOP staffers and Young Republicans, POLITICO released messages from Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia that were so explicitly racist it may cost him the support of what has been an extremely compliant congressional GOP. And lest any vice presidents tell you otherwise, racism is as evident in policy proposals as it is in the chats.

    Guest: David A. Graham, staff writer for The Atlantic.

    Show notes
