The Daily - Congress Just Gave Away Its Power to Trump
Last night, President Trump achieved a major victory: persuading both chambers of Congress to cancel billions of dollars in spending that they had already approved.
In the process, the Republican-led Congress is giving President Trump the power that it, and it alone, is supposed to have.
Guest: Catie Edmondson, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- Congress approved a White House request to claw back $9 billion for foreign aid and public broadcasting, sending the measure to the president.
- Here’s where the cuts threaten access to PBS and NPR.

Pod Save America - Trump’s Secret Epstein Letter Revealed
The Wall Street Journal publishes a shocking 50th birthday letter Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein that discusses a "wonderful secret" the two shared. Jon and Dan react live to The Journal's letter, discuss Trump's attacks against his supporters who still want the Epstein files released, and debate why the Department of Justice decided now was the right time to fire Maurene Comey — the federal prosecutor who worked on both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal cases. Then the two talk through Senator Josh Hawley's sad attempt to roll back the Medicaid cuts he just voted for and President Trump's draft termination letter for Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Then Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar stops by to talk about Texas Republicans' attempts to redraw congressional maps to sway the 2026 midterms elections.

The Gist - Jake Tapper: Original Sin, Ongoing Fracturing
Jake Tapper returns to dissect his book Original Sin and the failures of mainstream media to report on Joe Biden’s decline. He traces how social pressures, cultural taboos, and partisan incentive structures are ongoing threats to the type of journalism he practices and associates with the best forms of truth-telling. Tapper says CNN still strives to flesh out the full story, but acknowledges the shrinking market for non-ideological reporting. Plus, a glimpse into the spectacle of immigration enforcement, where shocking imagery is a Presidential tactic and a public turnoff.

The Bulwark Podcast - David Wallace-Wells: The U.S. Is Handing the Baton to China
While the Trump administration is doubling down on fossil fuels, China is annihilating us in the clean energy space. Right now, 75% of all renewable projects anywhere in the world are being built by a Chinese company. China is dominating the green energy supply chain with solar panels and batteries, and its electric car can charge in five minutes. The U.S. may be betting on AI, but that build-out needs cheap, fast energy—like wind or solar. We may have thought modernity was a Western story, but that may not be the case. Meanwhile, inland flooding could be the new face of the climate crisis, Silicon Valley overlords want to live in a sci-fi novel, and the Epstein story has legs because it's about elite impunity.

1A - The Future Of US Funding For HIV Treatment And Prevention
In his rescissions request to Congress last month, President Donald Trump asked that the hundreds of millions dollars budgeted for the President's Emergency Plans for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, be cancelled.
Senate Republicans have decided that PEPFAR is safe from cuts for now, but those fighting the global epidemic are worried.
We talk about what these funding cuts would mean for those actually doing the research, and more importantly, for those living with HIV.
