In 2006, while hiking around the Root Glacier in Alaska, glaciologist Tim Bartholomaus encountered something strange and unexpected on the ice — dozens of fuzzy, green balls of moss. It turns out, other glaciologists had come across before and lovingly named them "glacier mice."

What A Day - Presidential Insurrection
Trump’s threat to deploy military to states to help squash unrest would require him to use the Insurrection Act of 1807. We discuss that law’s history and whether Trump would need support from governors to invoke it.
Former VP Joe Biden spoke on Monday, discussing inequality, racial injustice, and calling for unity. Biden is now proposing federal legislation to reform police, and has committed to addressing institutional racism if elected.
And in headlines: Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg doubles down on allowing Trump’s terrible posts, Australia’s PM calls for an investigation into US police violence towards reporters, and Fuller House explains a distinct lack of Aunt Becky.
In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - The Epidemic of Racism (with DeRay Mckesson)
Andy talks to DeRay Mckesson about another epidemic sweeping the country — violence by the police against Black people. They talk data and policy solutions, and DeRay provides a personal and comprehensive view of what’s been going on across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of the Minneapolis police. Then Andy calls disability activist Sinéad Burke in Ireland to provide a global perspective on militarized police and what we can learn about disability and accessibility in a pandemic.

Derek Chauvin, the officer who arrested George Floyd and proceeded to press his knee into Floyd’s neck for over eight minutes, has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Some legal experts are raising questions as to whether or not these are the most appropriate charges to be brought against Chauvin.
Amy Swearer, a legal fellow in the Heritage Foundation's Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, joins The Daily Signal podcast to discuss the legal implications of Chauvin’s use of force against Floyd and whether or not the charges that have been brought against him are the correct charges for the crime committed.
We also cover these stories:
- President Donald Trump has been critical of how New York has handled the riots and unrest following the death of George Floyd.
- Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York is asking the inspector general of the Department of Defense to look into law enforcement's treatment of protestors by the White House.
- President Trump is receiving criticism from religious leaders after visiting St. John Episcopal Church and St. John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C.

Philosophers In Space - 0G105: Picard and the Butlerian Jihad
Oh hey, you look keen for some decent fan service mixed with cribbing from Dune. Perfect for CBS's business model. We're covering Picard, which is decent, and how it gives away that Star Trek is just the precursor to Dune. Picard has your Butlerian Jihad, your incompetent intergalatic federation, your weird biotech. All the makings of a solid Dune Prequel. I'm sure we'll find out the Romulan kid is a Paul Atreides Precursor sometime in season three. In the meantime, enjoy our discussion of the question "what if we just didn't AI?"

The Gist - Night and Day
On the Gist, daytime and nighttime America.
In the interview, the Atlantic’s David Frum joins Mike to talk about his Trumpocracy follow-up, Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy. Frum explains that Trump is a victim of distraction as much as he is a practitioner, that the consequences of COVID-19 will be one of the deciding factors of the election in November, and that the GOP will eventually get over being on the wrong side of Trump.
In the spiel, America is on edge.

Consider This from NPR - The Coronavirus In America: One More Racial Inequity
The more we learn about the coronavirus, the clearer it becomes that it's disproportionately affecting communities of color. And as protests continue across the country, some health experts worry that the hardest hit areas could be in for another wave of cases.
By almost every economic measure, black Americans have a harder time getting a leg up. As the pandemic has sent the country's economy into the worst downturn in generations, it's only gotten worse. More from NPR's Scott Horsley and the team at NPR's Planet Money.
Despite all of this, there is a bit of good news. Some communities across the country are reporting a decrease in COVID-19 cases. NPR's Rob Stein breaks down the national outlook.
Plus, advice on how to combat anxiety, avoid insomnia and get some rest.

The Supreme Court has again delayed the possibility of accepting a case challenging qualified immunity, a doctrine invented by the High Court that practically protects cops from the consequences of abuse. Clark Neily and Jay Schweikert comment.
