Headaches are one of the most common neurological conditions in the world. They’re also one of the most debilitating, mysterious, and misunderstood.
According to the World Health Organization, 3 billion people worldwide suffer from headache disorders. And one in six Americans suffers from headaches that are so severe they limit their ability to work, sleep, or otherwise function.
We discuss headaches as a part of our series “In Good Health,” where we talk about the bodily issues that most affect us.
What do we know about headaches and who they affect? What works when it comes to treating headaches?

The Bulwark Podcast - Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files
Trump needs to quit the games and his defamatory accusations about who's in the Epstein files, and just release the 300 gigabytes of data from the Epstein case—even if he has an army of elves trying to redact or whitewash any references or images of Trump himself. Meanwhile, the dismissal of charges against Comey and Tish James show how bad Team Trump is at political retribution. Plus, the commander-in-chief doesn't want members of the military hearing the truth, spies are listening in to Steve Witkoff, and is Weissmann going to sue Trump for defamation?
Andrew Weissmann joins Tim Miller.

The Daily - The Ukrainian Peace Plan Written by … Russia?
When President Trump’s peace plan to end the war in Ukraine was leaked last week, many felt as though Russia had written the proposal, and to a large degree, it reflected the Kremlin’s demands. The plan set off a global outcry that has forced American officials to revise their approach in the days since.
Kim Barker and David E. Sanger explain the process that led to the contentious plan and why it comes at a vulnerable moment for Ukrainian leadership.
Guest:
- Kim Barker, a reporter for The New York Times covering the war in Ukraine.
- David E. Sanger, the White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- Analysis: Mr. Trump offers a Ukraine peace plan the Kremlin can love.
- To many Ukrainians, the U.S. proposal looks like “capitulation.”

Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova - NO LIMIT, Some AI… Poker’s Documentary-Gate

Mike Pesca welcomes back Nick Gillespie (Reason Magazine) and first-time guest Russ Muirhead (Dartmouth professor and New Hampshire State Rep.) for a spirited debate that is—we swear—not even mad. Today, we look at the half-full autocratic glass: Does the dismissal of the Comey and James indictments prove that institutions are holding, or does the very attempt confirm our slide toward norms violation? We debate the two bedrock rules of democracy, why Congress keeps misplacing its spine, and the reasons the legislative branch is becoming functionally obsolete. Plus, the lame-duck question is back, MTG's lonely departure, and the politics of affordability: What's the real, non-supply-side fix for housing? Finally, a Goat Grinder on cinematic trauma warnings and the tragedy of piped-in pub music.

The Bulwark Podcast - Michael Weiss: Trump’s Ukraine Cluster**ck
A troika of foreign policy amateurs—Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and JD Vance—are trying to impose a Russia-drafted peace plan on Ukraine. While Trump was in the loop, other senior officials in the administration were in the dark, even as Kushner was using back channels to work with a Putin ally. Vance eagerly got on board because he’s desperate to stab Ukraine in the back and declare himself MAGA’s heir apparent for 2028. But rival Marco Rubio—who sees that Russia doesn’t really want peace—is working on an alternative deal.
Michael Weiss joins Tim Miller to break all the machinations down.
