1A - ICYMI: Journalist Kate Woodsome Reflects On Her Life After January 6

Four years ago on Jan. 6, journalist Kate Woodsome was at the U.S. Capitol. She was calm as a small group surrounded her, shouting. What happened next reverberated around the country for years to come.

The storming of the Capitol was a historic moment for the United States. But it was also a crucial turning point in the life of that Washington Post reporter at the center of the vitriol.

In the four years since, she's made major changes in her professional and personal life. She's also shifted her thinking about our divided nation.

Woodsome joins us to to reflect on what happened that day and what it meant for her relationships, her work, and her country.

1A - (dot) Gov: The Future Of Our Federal Agencies

President-elect Donald Trump says federal workers' jobs are on the chopping block under his incoming administration, citing waste and promising to "dismantle government bureaucracy."

The more than 2 million government workers across the country – at least 80 percent of whom are located outside DC – do critical work that keeps all facets of U.S. life running.

While the president-elect's rhetoric is concerning for them, problems with the upkeep and setup of our federal agencies do persist.

We launch our new series, dot Gov, with a look at the past, present and future of the federal workforce, and what's at stake for all Americans as these workers face changes under a new administration.

The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: The Preposterous and Ridiculous Lies About the FBI

Kash Patel's Jan 6 lie requires FBI officials to have been able to see into the future: to *know* that Trump would lose in 2020 and then try to get Congress to reverse the election results. And they also would have to have known they could get thousands of people to attack the Capitol—just to make MAGA look bad. Are GOP senators really going to clear this conspiracy theorist extraordinaire to run the bureau? Plus, the martyrology around Jan 6 and the mass exodus of journalists from The Washington Post. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

Native America Calling - Monday, January 6, 2025 — A conversation with Indian Health Service Director Roselyn Tso

Roselyn Tso (Diné) spent just over two years as director of the Indian Health Service. But her career at the agency spanned more than three decades, most recently as the IHS Navajo Area Director. As her term comes to an end, we’ll hear about her call to provide health care for Native Americans, food as medicine, and the immediate and long-term hurdles for IHS. We’ll also get an update on efforts by IHS to head off RSV infections that are putting Native children in the hospital as much as ten times more frequently than other populations.
