In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - Is Ukraine the One Issue Congress Can Agree On? (with Rep. Ro Khanna)

Andy begins by talking about the rise in COVID cases around the world and what that could mean for us here in America. Then, listen in as Andy and Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna have a wide-ranging conversation about the war in Ukraine, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and what it takes to build bridges both across the aisle and within one’s own party. Ro explains his views on how far the U.S. should go to defend Ukraine, what it means to be a "progressive capitalist," and how we can achieve dignity in a digital age.

What A Day - Hong Kong’s Surge And The Pitfalls Of ‘Zero COVID’

A missile strike on apartment buildings in the Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv on Tuesday killed at least four people and resulted in fires for hours after. The attack prompted a frantic rescue effort, and Kyiv’s mayor announced a 35-hour curfew in the city.

Hong Kong is experiencing its worst COVID outbreak since the start of the pandemic. Unlike the U.S., the province is still grappling with the highly transmissible Omicron variant, with scenes reminiscent of much earlier days in the pandemic. Shibani Mahtani, the Southeast Asia and Hong Kong bureau chief for The Washington Post, joins us to discuss what things look like on the ground.

And in headlines: Authorities in Washington D.C. arrested a suspect in the shootings of at least five unhoused people in D.C. and New York City, an Indian court upheld a ban on wearing hijabs at schools and colleges, and Pfizer and BioNTech have asked the Food and Drug Administration to authorize a second COVID booster shot for people 65 and older.

The Daily Signal - Ukrainian-American Pastor Says His Homeland Is Watching for God to Show Up

In the darkest of times, we are tempted to give in to despair. For those living in war-torn Ukraine, the temptation must be enormous.

But all around the world, people are seeing images of hope and faith amid Ukraine's gloom. In basements, rubble-strewn streets, and underground rail stations, the Ukrainian people are coming together.

Pastor Andrew Moroz, an American, was born in Ukraine and has many relatives there. He says he understands the desire to keep up hope.

"Life in some ways has to go on in the midst of a war zone," Moroz says.

"There are some things that are normal and there are many things that are not normal that are happening right now, but people are continuing to pursue each other and pursue God in some way."

Moroz joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how Ukrainians are resisting the urge to give up, and how faith there is stronger than ever.

We also cover these stories:

  • The Russian Foreign Ministry announces sanctions against U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and President Joe Biden, among others.
  • Sarah Bloom Raskin withdraws her candidacy for vice chairman of the Federal Reserve.
  • The Idaho House votes 51-14 to pass a bill allowing family members to sue medical professionals who abort a baby after six weeks.

Short Wave - What Mount Kilimanjaro Has To Do With The Search For Alien Life

Understanding how life survives in extreme Earth environments could point to ways life can survive on other worlds. Astrobiologist Morgan Cable talks to host Emily Kwong about how her missions here on Earth have guided two upcoming NASA missions in search for alien life, not in a far off galaxy, but here in our solar system. The Titan Dragonfly and the Europa Clipper missions will each explore an ocean world in our solar system, where scientists believe we could find life--life that may be unlike anything we've seen before. Today on Short Wave, life as we know it - and life as we don't know it.

Learn more about the search for life in our solar system in the new planetarium show Living Worlds, now at the California Academy of Sciences:

NPR's Book of the Day - Poet Warsan Shire hopes you can make the voices in your head your friends

Somali British poet Warsan Shire has had many projects, including running a popular Tumblr page and collaborating with Beyoncé. Now, she is out with a new collection of poems called Bless The Daughter Raised By A Voice In Her Head. That title is an ode to how she was raised, having to take on a lot of responsibility from a young age. But Shire told NPR's Sarah McCammon that it's also an ode to the children who are able to turn those voices into their friends instead of struggling with them as she has.

Amarica's Constitution - Lawyer of the Century

Walter Dellinger and Charles Black are hard acts to follow, but our concluding role model is up to the task.  Telford Taylor was legislator, war hero, Nuremberg prosecutor, international law pioneer, law firm founder, tenured professor and scholar extraordinaire, public intellectual, and always a principled, skilled lawyer.  Professor Amar admired his work from afar, and that admiration led to a personal meeting, to Akhil’s first major law review article in the Harvard Law Review, and ultimately, to the opening scene of his latest book.  Meanwhile, in the news, we also take time to look at the latest developments, statements, and misstatements filling the air on the notorious Texas abortion law, SB8.
