Comedian Sarah Cooper blew up when her TikTok videos making fun of then-President Donald Trump's statements in press conferences went viral. Her new memoir, Foolish, recounts that moment in her life — but it also expands on Cooper's larger trajectory, from learning she was Black as the daughter of Jamaican immigrants to working at Google as an adult. She tells NPR's Leila Fadel just how surreal her rise in comedy has been, and why HomeGoods home decor actually dishes out some pretty wise life advice.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Is Wall Street’s hottest trend finally over?
WeWork, DraftKings, Lucid Motors. These are a few companies that have taken an untraditional route to go public through something called SPACs or special purpose acquisition companies. The obscure investment vehicle took off during the pandemic, but has since fallen back to earth. Today, we consider the rise and fall of SPACs and how recent rule changes will affect these deals.

Planet Money - Morally questionable, economically efficient
There are tons of markets that don't exist because people just don't want to allow a market – for whatever reason, people feel icky about putting a price on something. For example: Surrogacy is a legal industry in parts of the United States, but not in much of the rest of the world. Assisted end-of-life is a legal medical transaction in some states, but is illegal in others.
When we have those knee-jerk reactions and our gut repels us from considering something apparently icky, economics asks us to look a little more closely.
Today on the show, we have three recommendations of things that may feel kinda wrong but economics suggests may actually be the better way. First: Could the matching process of organ donation be more efficient if people could buy and sell organs? Then: Should women seek revenge more often in the workplace? And finally, what if insider trading is actually useful?
This episode was hosted by Mary Childs and Greg Rosalsky. It was produced by Willa Rubin and edited by Jess Jiang. It was engineered by Cena Loffredo. Fact-checking by Sierra Juarez. Alex Goldmark is Planet Money's executive producer.

Consider This from NPR - The Supreme Court Weighs In On Trump Being Removed From The Ballot
When it comes to whether or not Trump should appear on presidential ballots, there are at least two questions to consider.
The first is legal — does the 14th amendment apply him?
The second is practical. What would happen if Trump WERE removed from the ballot?
How might his tens of millions of supporters respond?
At a rally last month, the former President suggested if he doesn't get what he views as "fair" treatment, the country is in big trouble.
This week the Supreme Court will weigh whether Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to be president.
We hear from a legal scholar who says it could be the beginning of a, "bloody unraveling of democratic norms."
