Episode notes

- The Farmers Bridge Payments Program offers $12 billion as temporary relief for tariff-driven market losses in agriculture.
- It mirrors earlier Market Facilitation steps and likely eases short-term stress but won’t fully restore lost long-term export markets.
Law Overrides Grand Jury Secrecy, With Limits
- The Epstein Files Transparency Act forced courts to override grand jury secrecy for Epstein and Maxwell materials.
- Judges ordered redactions to protect victims but warned the records may contain limited new revelations.

- Twelve former FBI special agents say they kneeled to de-escalate violence on June 4, 2020 and were later fired.
- Their lawsuit claims leadership first approved the tactic but then terminated them for alleged political impartiality violations.
