What Next | Daily News and Analysis - The Supreme Court’s Abortion Punt

When Roe v. Wade was overturned, a near-total abortion ban was triggered in Idaho, allowing for health exceptions only when “necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman.” But a case that found the ban in conflict with a federal law known as “EMTALA” went all the way to the Supreme Court, before being sent back to lower courts—neither overturning nor upholding Idaho’s ban. 


Guest: Dr. Stacy Seyb, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist in Boise, Idaho.

What Could Go Right? - Introducing Say More: Beating Burnout with Krista Tippett

This week we’re sharing an episode of a podcast we think you’ll really like – The Boston Globe’s Say More.

We are living in a time of deep uncertainty, marked by global conflicts, economic anxiety, and societal divisions. No wonder we're so uneasy. Progress Network member, and host of the “On Being” podcast Krista Tippett sits down with host Shirley Leung to explain why these uncertain times require a larger spiritual quest for meaning and stillness in modern life. We inhabit a noisy, distracting world of Slacks and texts, and we need to learn how to get quiet. It’s surprisingly hard, and Krista shares her own journey managing burnout and “befriending reality” in all its glorious messiness.

Amarica's Constitution - Debate Debacle, and Agency Atrophy

In an exhausting week, the Court released a number of long-awaited cases, and we had a consequential presidential debate. We look at several cases that many believe have profound implications for the administrative state; the opinions in SEC v. Jarkesy, and Loper Bright v. Raimondo clearly have the effect of increasing the role of courts and juries, among other things. We look at the opinions, the underlying themes, and the impact.  Meanwhile, following the debate, questions of presidential succession of several types, and of the vice president, are everywhere; these happen to be areas of Prof. Amar’s expertise, and so we address them. NOTE: The Presidential Immunity case, Trump v. US, came down after we taped this episode; we have some early but important resources for you on this as well.  CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

This Machine Kills - 351. How AI is Boiling the Oceans

We get into how the massive global expansion of data centres — thanks largely to demand from training and operating AI — is putting major strain on energy systems and requiring the generation of more electricity. How’s all that new energy demand being met? Some renewables, a lot of fossil fuels, but also maybe futuristic magic technology? Big tech firms like Micorosoft and their nuclear tech partners—including startups backed by Sam Altman and Bill Gates—say they expect to harness fusion by 2028. This prediction is totally unserious and fantastical, while also hiding the fact that the expansion of AI is powered largely by fossil fuels. ••• AI Is Already Wreaking Havoc On Global Power Systems https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-ai-data-centers-power-grids/ ••• AI is exhausting the power grid.

Lost Debate - The Coming Democratic Civil War

Ravi shares his latest thoughts on President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. He explains how months of obfuscation from Biden, his team, and the insiders closest to the administration could impact the 2024 election, advocates for more truth-telling, and responds to those who say it’s too late to replace the president on the ticket.


Ravi then welcomes Jamie Hodari, co-founder and CEO of Industrious, back to the pod to talk about the latest trends in business, workplace culture, and real estate. Jamie and Ravi dive into everything from the potential of mixed-use neighborhoods to why the stereotypical narratives around Gen Z workers are largely unfounded and the importance of authenticity in business.
