This week marks 1,000 days since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A lot has happened in that time.
This morning, the U.S. shuttered its embassy in Kyiv due to specific information about a possible air attack.
Recently, Ukraine fired American-made ballistic missiles into Russia. To use these missiles, Ukraine needed permission from the Biden administration.
We discuss what the closure of the American Embassy in the country's capital mean.

The Bulwark Podcast - Marc Caputo and Dan Goldman: Trump v. the United States
The incompetent and compromised nominees Trump has assembled at record pace show how little regard he has for the essential functions our government provides. He wants to harness its power for his own ends, in a way that could put Americans and our national security at risk—but he can only do this if Congress is complicit. Meanwhile, the roundly-hated Matt Gaetz is providing cover for the sex abuse allegations against the other nominees, and the House majority margin may be razor thin.
Rep. Dan Goldman and Marc Caputo join Tim Miller.

Planet Money - The long view of economics and immigration (Two Indicators)
Mass deportations. What would actually happen—economically—if the President-elect follows through on promises to deport millions of people from America.
We don't have to guess.
Today we have two stories from Planet Money's daily podcast, The Indicator. First, the story from another time the US cracked down on immigration with the expressed intent of helping the economy. We look at how that worked out. And then we distill 20 years of research on immigrants and economic growth. What does immigration do for an economy? What types of immigration help? And who benefits?
Our most recent newsletter goes into more depth on some of this. Part one of two here. Subscribe to our newsletter here.
This episode is hosted by Adrian Ma, Darian Woods, and Wailin Wong. These episodes of The Indicator were originally produced by Cooper Katz McKim and Julia Ritchey, and engineered by Kwesi Lee and Maggie Luthar. They were fact-checked by Angel Carreras and Sierra Juarez. Kate Concannon is The Indicator's Editor.

Time To Say Goodbye - A History of Trans Activism with Jamie Lauren Keiles
Hello!
Today we have Jamie Lauren Keiles, the author of an upcoming book about the rise of nonbinary identity in America, back on the show. We talk about the thinly veiled post mortems by some within the Democratic coalition to abandon 'the whole trans thing,' the history of how trans rights became such a large part of the country's political conversation, and much more.
If you want to follow Jamie's very cool instagram, it's @sexchange.tbt.
Enjoy!
