In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - The Coordinated Attack on Trans Rights
Why are conservative politicians launching a coordinated attack on transgender people right now? They’re implementing a power strategy used time and time again on countless marginalized groups in societies around the world, from Jews in Nazi Germany to gay people in 1990s America. Andy speaks with writer Shon Faye and reporter Jo Yurcaba about why it’s happening, how it impacts all of us, and what to do about it.

What A Day - Ain’t No River Wide Enough
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a lawsuit against Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, accusing him of a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald Trump, and organizing a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” the D.A.
The Biden Administration has laid out two tough options it may take to solve the Colorado River water crisis, though both would lead to dramatic water cuts to states like California, Nevada, and Arizona.
And in headlines: President Biden signed a bill formally ending the COVID-19 national emergency, county officials will decide whether or not to reappoint Tennessee state Representative Justin Pearson, and the FBI issued a warning about the dangers of "juice jacking" at free phone charging stations.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Will Supreme Court Hear Abortion Pill Case? Plaintiffs’ Attorney Weighs In
On Good Friday, a federal judge in Texas handed down a potentially historic abortion ruling.
The case at hand revolves around the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. In 2000, the FDA approved the use of mifepristone to be used along with the drug misoprostol to terminate a pregnancy. But some medical experts have argued the FDA's approval was rushed and unlawful.
In 2022, a group of pro-life medical professionals and an organization represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal organization, filed a lawsuit against the FDA arguing that it had improperly approved the abortion pill, and federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk for the Northern District of Texas agreed.
“The Court does not second-guess FDA’s decision-making lightly,” Kacsmaryk wrote in his ruling. “But here, FDA acquiesced on its legitimate safety concerns—in violation of its statutory duty—based on plainly unsound reasoning and studies that did not support its conclusions.”
Denise Harle, Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel, joins the show today to discuss what the ruling means and the likelihood of the case ultimately rising to the Supreme Court. Harle also breaks down a ruling the same day by a judge in Washington state in favor of continued access to the abortion pill.

Short Wave - Peep The Delightful Science Of Chickens
When Tove Danovich decided to dabble in backyard chicken keeping, she embraced a tried and true journalistic practice — reading everything there is to find on the subject. In her search, she found plenty of how-to guides, but what she really wanted was to know more about the science. She wanted to understand their evolution and unique relationship with humans.
"As I was reading more and as I was wanting this book that increasingly it seemed like it it just didn't exist. I wound up writing it instead," says Tove.
Today, Aaron visits Tove in her chicken coop to talk about her recent book Under the Henfluence: Inside the World of Backyard Chickens and the People Who Love Them and to meet the chicken stars of Tove's Instagram account.

NPR's Book of the Day - Colleen Oakley’s new roadtrip novel takes inspiration from ‘Thelma and Louise’
Tanner and Louise have a 63 year age difference and pretty opposite personalities: Tanner is a former college athlete, hitting what she thinks is rock bottom after dropping out. Louise is the eccentric elderly lady she gets hired to take care of. But in Colleen Oakley's new novel, The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise, the two women forge an unlikely friendship when Louise's past forces them to hit the road. As the author tells NPR's Mary Louise Kelly, the story is equal parts inspired by Thelma and Louise and by her own friendship with her grandmother.
Amarica's Constitution - Doubting Thomas, and doubting the doubters
Judges are in the news - all over it, in fact. Donald Trump, arrested and charged, attacks the judge in his case, and the judge is under a microscope. Deserved? Meanwhile, a judge is elected in Wisconsin. Many say this is the result of actions other judges took in Washington last year, and judges in Wisconsin react - and find themselves under scrutiny, too. Most prominently of all, a Supreme Court Justice’s lifestyle collides with disclosure requirements, drawing fire. How can citizens view these controversies in a reasonably objective light, and what are the standards? We take a shot at it.
