Opening Arguments - When Elon Musk Violates Immigration Law It’s Fine Though

OA1082 - Donald Trump recently promised that he and House speaker Mike Johnson have a “little secret” about how they are going to win next week’s election. Is he just trolling, or have Republicans identified real vulnerabilities in our federal election system? We assess the legal realities surrounding one particularly doomerist prediction in The Nation to try to understand just how concerned we really should be.

The Washington Post has just revealed that Elon Musk has his own little secret: his numerous past violations of federal immigration law. How much does this matter, and what would happen if ICE received this information about someone who didn’t happen to be the world’s wealthiest person? 

Finally, for our dessert course Matt has the scoop on a tasty footnote from this week’s news about how the Librarian of Congress just helped to fix the ice cream machine at your local McDonald’s.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The East Africa Rift (Encore)

Today, there is a giant rift that is tearing the continent of Africa apart.

..and I mean this quite literally because the rift isn’t cultural, economic, or political, it’s geologic.

In several million years, Africa will be split into two continents, and while the process will take a long time, you see ample evidence for it right now.

Learn more about the East African Rift and how it has shaped the modern continent of Africa on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Trump’s Halloween Costume

Donald Trump dresses up like a sanitation worker as a message stunt and says he'll "protect" women "whether the women like it or not." Kamala Harris seizes on those remarks in events in the swing states, sharpening her argument against Trump on abortion and health care. In the final Friday episode before Election Day, Jon and Dan discuss all the latest and what they're watching for in each of the battleground states on Tuesday. Then, Nebraska's independent Senate candidate, Dan Osborn, talks with Dan about how he's pulled even with the Republican incumbent in one of the reddest states in the country, and how he plans to win.

Short Wave - The Best (And Oldest) Tadpole Ever Discovered

For years, we've been asking, "Which came first: the chicken or the egg?" Maybe what we should have been asking is, "Which came first: the frog or the tadpole?" A new paper in the journal Nature details the oldest known tadpole fossil. Ringing in 20 million years earlier than scientists previously had evidence of, this fossil might get us closer to an answer.
