1A - The Future Of America’s National Parks
People visited U.S. National Park sites a record 331 million times last year. Were you one of them?
If you were, and plan to visit any National Parks this year though, staff cuts might mean a different kind of experience.
At the direction of Elon Musk's DOGE entity, the Department of the Interior fired around 1,000 probationary National Park Service employees in February.
That has current and former NPS employees feeling pessimistic about the future.
We discuss how these cuts will impact the future of America's National Parks.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: What Would it Take to Destroy the United States?
What does an agenda designed to hurt the United States look like? Look no further than the past four years under the Biden-Harris administration, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ If you really wanted to, in civilizational terms, destroy the United States, the first thing I would do if I was an enemy of the United States was I would destroy the borders.
“If you also wanted to hurt the United States, you know what I would do if I had nefarious intent? I would keep printing money. And I would call that, in fact, ‘Build Back Better.’”
“ The third thing that I would do, and I think it's besides debt and borders and fuel. I would sow disunity. And I would say that the content of our character is not as important as the color of our skin.”

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Sneak Preview: The Supreme Court Just Gave The Trump Administration Everything It Wanted—Almost
Here’s a question for you. If you are scooped up by ICE (masked, covering badge numbers), then moved from one detention center to another in quick succession, before being hastily forced onto a flight to El Salvador where you are imprisoned in a “terrorism confinement center” beyond the jurisdiction of the United States –– at what point in that process could you access some kind of adjudicatory review? In this bonus episode of Amicus for Slate Plus members, Dahlia Lithwick tackles the Supreme Court’s shadow docket decisions in two overlapping but distinct cases stemming from the Trump administration’s renditioning of detainees to an El Salvadorean mega-prison which also happens to be a legal black hole.
Joined by Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern, they explore the legal and procedural concerns, the consequences for due process, and why five justices saw fit to reward the Trump administration for some very out-of-bounds behavior in the lower courts.

The Bulwark Podcast - S2 Ep1016: Jonathan Cohn and Mark Lilla: Lobotomizing America
When it comes to biomedical research, America is already great. We are the world's leader in the field. But the Trump administration is gutting research and innovation on things like cancer, Alzheimer's, and arthritis—and the amputation of our scientific expertise under RFK, Jr. has been about as thoughtful as the tariffs rollout. Meanwhile, when it comes to the developing budget bill, Medicaid is getting some surprising red state support from people like Josh Hawley. Plus, when people willfully choose ignorance as a way to cope with an uncertain world.
Professor Mark Lilla and The Bulwark's Jonathan Cohn join Tim Miller.

Lost Debate - Recession Risk, Tariff Takes, Class v. Race
As Trump’s sweeping tariffs continue to spark chaos and backlash nationwide, Ravi delivers a blistering breakdown of the administration’s latest moves and the economic risks they’ve created. He challenges the populist rhetoric behind the trade war, exposes the political theater driving the latest policies, and explains what Trump’s getting wrong about jobs, immigration, and manufacturing.
Then, Richard Kahlenberg returns to the pod to discuss his new book, Class Matters. Ravi and Richard examine what’s changed - and what hasn’t - since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action. They also talk about the role of legacy admissions, the case for class-based college admissions, and what a more equitable future for higher education could look like.
