Politico’s Paul McLeary joins to talk about what’s next as President Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington, D.C., today. Trump failed to secure a peace agreement after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. High-profile European leaders are also traveling to Washington in support of Zelenskyy.
Several Republican states over the weekend said they will deploy additional National Guard troops to D.C. to join Trump’s crackdown on crime and homelessness. NPR’s Brian Mann explains why the government’s efforts are at odds with day-to-day life in the city, and how D.C.’s unhoused population is being harshly targeted.
Cassandra Jaramillo, a reproductive-health reporter with ProPublica, details why a federal program to improve health systems to better support people who are pregnant might disappear.
Plus, why the U.S. halted all visitor visas for people from Gaza, what fueled Hurricane Erin’s rapid intensification, and the story behind Oreo and Reese’s supersecret collaboration.
Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
