Amarica's Constitution - Tall Tales

We continue to profile, recap, analyze, and learn from the nine Supreme Court Justices.  This week our focus turns to those justices appointed by Trump, and the seat that would be Garland’s instead went to Neil Gorsuch.  Akhil looks at cases old and new to find the highs and lows in Justice Gorsuch’s jurisprudence, and this justice who studied in two countries and clerked for two SCOTUS members, who calls neither of them his great influence, comes under our microscope.

Consider This from NPR - The New Child Tax Credit Is Here. Will Millions Get Cash Permanently?

Tens of millions of American families are beginning to receive direct cash payments as part of the expanded child tax credit, which was part of the COVID relief bill passed back in March.

Those payments top out at $3,600 a year per child — an amount experts say could lift tens of millions of children out of poverty. But the expanded credit is only scheduled to last one year. The question now is: will Democrats succeed in making it permanent?

Here's a breakdown of what you need to know from NPR's Andrea Hsu.

This episode contains excerpts from NPR's daily economics podcast The Indicator. Listen and subscribe via Apple, Spotify, Google, or Pocket Casts.

Additional reporting this episode from NPR's Cory Turner and Mara Liasson.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - We Should Be Proud

Today’s passionate podcast features praise for the American people when it comes to vaccination and serious querying why we are turning this amazing national mobilization success into a neurotic failure. And we celebrate Jeff Bezos’s trip into near-space and ask again why it is that we are being told by the liberal establishment that it is a pointless and vainglorious effort. Cheer up, people!
