The Daily Signal - Pulling Back Curtain on ‘Erosion of Parental Rights’ in California

Parents are losing the right to parent in California, according to Karen England.

A bill has been introduced in California stating that if parents “do not affirm your child's gender confusion, it's put in the same category as abuse, and it is supposed to be considered when you're battling in a custody battle,” England says.

According to England, head of the policy, research, and education organization the Capitol Resource Institute, there has been an “erosion of parental rights” over the past year in California in a more significant way than she has ever seen before.

England joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the threats parents are facing in California, and to share why moms and dads across the country should be concerned by what is happening on the west coast.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Has Netanyahu Lost Control?

This week, Israel’s far-right coalition government voted to strip the Supreme Court of the power to overturn “unreasonable” government actions and appointments. Protesters and experts alike worry it's the first step in a broader push towards gutting the judiciary altogether. Is Israel on the brink of authoritarianism?

Strict Scrutiny - BONUS: #WITHpod & Strict Scrutiny Crossover

Leah, Kate, and Melissa join MSNBC's Chris Hayes (aka Mr. Kate Shaw) to fully process the drama of the last Supreme Court term. It's our second annual crossover with Why Is This Happening?!

Another year, another pretty consequential Supreme Court term. SCOTUS recently ended its term with a number of big decisions including striking down affirmative action and issuing opinions in the 303 Creative case, in which the majority created a “constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class,” as noted in Justice Sotomayor’s dissent. It also invalidated the Biden administration’s student debt relief program. Meanwhile, there’s increasing concern about recent allegations of ethical improprieties of SCOTUS justices, like the luxury fishing trip, reported by ProPublica, that Justice Alito took back in 2008 with GOP billionaire Paul Singer, who later had at least 10 cases before the high court. There’s a lot to unpack and we’re excited to share our second crossover episode with the hosts of the Strict Scrutiny podcast, Chris’ wife Kate Shaw, and her co-hosts Melissa Murray and Leah Litman. They join to discuss some of the most egregious actions from the super conservative majority of the Court, what’s at stake for American democracy and cases to look out for in the next term.

Amarica's Constitution - Amara Culpa, Amara Bene

What’s in a name? This week, it’s “Amar was wrong - Amar was right.” Two weeks ago it was “bigots” and many made much of that. So we take the feedback seriously and revisit it - you can judge the result. Meanwhile, news from Long Island brings the 4th amendment to the fore again, and in a somewhat different way. Different - how? Listen and find out how to create a better jurisprudence without amending the Constitution, and the real differences in the lives of the people this would make. Finally, Akhil has a new article in the popular press, and we introduce that for later elaboration.

Short Wave - Why Babies Babble And What It Can Teach Adults About Language

In which we metaphorically enter the UCLA Language Acquisistion Lab's recording castle, guided by linguistics researcher Dr. Megha Sundara. NPR science correspondent Sydney Lupkin temporarily takes over the host chair to talk to Sundara about all things baby babble. Along the way, we learn why babies babble, how that babbling can change with exposure to new languages — and if there are any lessons for adults.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Nobody’s Fool’ explains the science behind falling for scams – and how not to

In their new book, Nobody's Fool, psychology professor Daniel Simons and cognitive scientist Christopher Chabris make the case that people don't just fall for scams because they're gullible. The way our brains work – the way they reason and trust – can often lead us to believe a piece of misinformation or to click on a phishing scam. In today's episode, the authors explain to NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer why truth bias and familiarity can work against us, but that skepticism and fact-checking can help us fight back.
