Everything Everywhere Daily - The Planet Saturn

Ancient astronomers from almost every culture knew of seven things in the sky that moved. the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter.

The seventh and slowest moving of those was the one named after the Roman god of time: Saturn. 

For centuries Saturn was a dot in the sky. Then when telescopes were invented, our perception of the planet changed dramatically. 

Learn more about Saturn and what makes it different from every other solar planet on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Hawa Allan, “Insurrection: Rebellion, Civil Rights, and the Paradoxical State of Black Citizenship” (Norton, 2022)

The little-known and under-studied 1807 Insurrection Act was passed to give the president the ability to deploy federal military forces to fend off lawlessness and rebellion, but it soon became much more than the sum of its parts. Its power is integrally linked to the perceived threat of black American equity in what lawyer and critic Hawa Allan demonstrates is a dangerous paradox. While the Act was initially used to repress rebellion against slavery, during Reconstruction it was invoked by President Grant to quell white-supremacist uprisings in the South. During the civil rights movement, it enabled the protection of black students who attended previously segregated educational institutions. Most recently, the Insurrection Act has been the vehicle for presidents to call upon federal troops to suppress so-called “race riots” like those in Los Angeles in 1992, and for them to threaten to do so in other cases of racial justice activism. Yet when the US Capitol was stormed in January 2021, the impulse to restore law and order and counter insurrectionary threats to the republic lay dormant.

Allan’s distinctly literary voice underscores her paradigm-shifting reflections on the presence of fear and silence in history and their shadowy impact on the law. Throughout, she draws revealing insight from her own experiences as one of the only black girls in her leafy Long Island suburb, as a black lawyer at a predominantly white firm during a visit from presidential candidate Barack Obama, and as a thinker about the use and misuse of appeals to law and order.

Elegant and profound, deeply researched and intensely felt, Insurrection: Rebellion, Civil Rights, and the Paradoxical State of Black Citizenship (Norton, 2022) is necessary reading in our reckoning with structural racism, government power, and protest in the United States.

What A Day - One Small Step For Manchin, One Giant Leap For Mankind

Senate Democrats reached a deal on a historic climate spending package – thanks to a surprise reversal from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who previously rejected the measure.

Judges in North Dakota and Wyoming both put temporary holds on abortion bans that would have taken effect in those states this week.

And in headlines: the U.S. economy shrank again, torrential rains triggered devastating floods in eastern Kentucky, and Pope Francis ends his week-long tour of Canada today.

The Daily Signal - Is Texas the Model for Good Health Care Policy?

Health care affects every single American. Republicans and Democrats argue over the best way to provide the essential service to the population.

But in Texas, a sweeping series of health care reform bills was able to make their way through the state Legislature. And it was done on a bipartisan basis.

Dave Balat, director of the Right on Healthcare initiative at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, was instrumental in getting that legislation passed.

"When it comes to good health care bills, there really shouldn't be a left and right divide," Balat says. "It should be about what's best for patients."

Balat hopes he can spread these bills across the nation.

"These [bills] are designed for communities," he says. "They aren't by any means Texas-specific. And I'm working with a number of states already to try to export these ideas and give them the support that they need to implement exactly what has been done."

Balat joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how his organization helped get these policies passed, and how other states can use Texas as a model.

We also cover these stories:

  • The U.S. enters a recession.
  • Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., makes a deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on a tax-and-spend bill.
  • Justice Clarence Thomas will not be teaching his constitutional law class at Georgetown Law after student backlash.

Opening Arguments - OA617: Alex Jones’ Lawyers Have No F*cking Idea What They’re Doing

There was a truly amazing moment in the Alex Jones trial that we can't wait to share with you. And, it's a chance for some law talkin'! Jones' lawyers are completely inept and we should all enjoy nice things. Then, Andrew takes us through an interesting election situation in North Carolina involving the Green Party. Guess what, they still suck and are helping Republicans win! So much so that Republicans are literally fighting legal battles for Green Party candidates.
