The Gist - Carbon Capture—It’s Not Just for North Dakota Anymore

Also on the show: the renaming of Forts Benning and Bragg, the surprising presence of anti-vaxxers in the Pentagon, the exclusion of transgender service members, and a look back at the Great Colombian Tariff Tiff of 2025.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - A Former Federal Prosecutor On Trump Immigration Plans

Chicago is a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state – which means local law enforcement is prevented from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as it seeks to deport undocumented immigrants. But the Justice Department pledged to investigate and prosecute local law enforcement and government officials who impede the Trump administration's plans on deportations. Reset explores the legality of the unprecedented step and what it could mean for Chicago with former federal prosecutor Ronald S. Safer. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: Trump’s Early Moves And The Constitution

The first week of President Trump's new term ended with a late-night purge of around 17 federal inspectors general on Friday.

The exact total is still unclear. Trump said the move was a, quote, "very standard thing to do." But federal law requires a 30-day notification to Congress before inspectors general can be removed from their posts.

Also, in the first week of his second term – four Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit to stop President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. On Thursday a federal judge in Seattle temporarily halted the implementation of the order, calling it, quote, "blatantly unconstitutional."

Our series, "If You Can Keep It," cuts through political noise to consider the state of our Democratic Republic and what matters to you.

We discuss the IG purge, take a closer look at the legal challenges to Trump's early moves, and how the Constitution guides our understanding of executive power today.

The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: Trump Loves Fraud

Gullible Republicans have really been proving what they're made of recently, including Susan Collins, who claims Trump wants to root out corruption, even though his whole life has been a fraud—the water, the university, and "The Apprentice," just for starters. Meanwhile, the presidents of Mexico and Colombia are showing that they're not going to bend over in service of Trump's vanity. Plus, JD's Johnny-come-lately Catholicism, and the tech titans's clash with DEI may be helping the US lose the lead in AI. 

Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.
