The Bulwark Podcast - Mark Hertling: Contrary to American Values
Trump keeps wrapping himself in the American flag while while behaving in a very anti-American way—like threatening to shut down protests at his $45 million birthday parade or giving a highly partisan speech in front of soldiers in violation of military policy. And as the haphazardly deployed Marines join federalized Guard troops in LA, Trump seems hellbent on escalating his feud with Gavin Newsom—and the giant blue state that rejects him. Plus, Putin looks to gain an advantage in Ukraine while America is distracted, and Tulsi may have disclosed state secrets to the entire world.

Marketplace All-in-One - Much ado about a China trade deal
President Trump announced a new trade deal with China after days of negotiations. Here’s the thing: Trump’s tariffs on China will stay the same. So what did the two countries actually agree to? We’ll get into it. And, after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired a panel of experts that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines, doctors and insurance companies are wondering who they should look to for guidance. Plus, a life-sized stuffed moose on Capitol Hill makes us smile.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "Trump Hails Progress With China, but Details Are Sketchy" from The New York Times
- "RFK Jr. just fired the government’s vaccine experts. What do you do now?" from Vox
- "Former CDC director reacts to RFK Jr.’s firing of entire vaccine advisory panel" from PBS News
- "If you move a moose through the Senate" from Roll Call
"An 84-Year-Old Woman on a Pony Inspires Awe—and Concern—in the U.K." from The Wall Street Journal
