For weeks, protests around Minneapolis have caught nationwide attention as the city shows open defiance to a federal immigration crackdown.

But behind the scenes, a quieter organized resistance has taken shape.

Anna Foley and Michael Simon Johnson, producers for “The “Daily,” go on the ground in Minneapolis to capture that effort, and Charles Homans, a New York Times reporter, explains why the city has become ground zero in the fight over the government’s deportation strategy.

Guest: Charles Homans, a reporter for The New York Times and The Times Magazine, covering national politics.

Background reading: 

• In Minneapolis, an intense cat-and-mouse game is putting enraged residents face to face with heavily armed federal agents.
• President Trump’s fight with Minnesota is about more than immigration.

In this episode of "Getting Hammered," hosts Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus dive into a variety of topics. Vic shares his observations from a journalism conference in Palm Beach, highlighting the peculiarities of the local dog-walking culture and the challenges of parenting teenagers left home alone. The conversation then shifts to current events, including the implications of recent ICE-related incidents and public reactions to immigration enforcement. They discuss the political landscape in Virginia, particularly the recent election outcomes and the new policies being introduced by the Democratic leadership, which they argue are detrimental to law-abiding citizens. The episode wraps up with a light-hearted discussion about college football. Plus, the potential for U.S. territorial expansion, specifically regarding Greenland, and whether the madman theory of Donald Trump is more mad than theory.

On Dec. 22, 1984, Bernard Goetz, a white man, shot and seriously wounded four Black teenagers in a New York City subway car.

Their names were were Barry Allen, Darrell Cabey, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur. Goetz fled the scene resulting in a manhunt. In the meantime, New Yorkers dubbed him the “subway vigilante.”

The city was experiencing a crime wave and some residents championed the man who took matters into his own hands. The case sparked a conversation about race, vigilantism, and public safety that still has reverberates through our country today.

It’s also the subject of Elliot Williams' new book, “Five Bullets: The Story of Bernie Goetz, New York’s Explosive 80s, and the Subway Vigilante that Divided the Nation.” Williams is a CNN legal analyst and 1A guest host. He joins us to talk discuss the book.

Author Chuck Klosterman joins the show to discuss his new book, Football, and how football's strange mechanics, from hidden labor to stop-start pacing,and its resistance to casual play, have helped turn it into the last true monoculture. He also makes the case that future critics will misread football as decadence, missing what it actually revealed about the era that embraced it. Also, the double pardon of the same woman convicted twice for fraud, including a scheme selling counterfeit 5-Hour Energy drinks. Plus a Spiel on how Donald Trump and Stephen Miller make reckless promises of protection that can get supporters hurt or killed.

What does science tell us about aging and trying to improve our health? We know that exercise is one way to hold off the worst effects of aging, but how much exercise do we need and how much does exercise really help? What other anti-aging interventions are available? There is growing consensus on what reliably works, what is promising but unproven, and what remains hype.array(3) { [0]=> string(38) "https://www.tpr.org/podcast/the-source" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(1) "0" }

In the 365 days since Donald J. Trump was sworn into his second term as president, he has fired, pardoned, prosecuted, tariffed, deployed, deposed, dismantled and deported his way to a new kind of American government, one designed almost entirely in his image. In the process, he has not only transformed the federal government, he has also changed, possibly forever, the very nature of the American presidency.

On today’s episode, Michael Barbaro speaks with three longtime chroniclers of Trump’s presidency about how to make sense of what Trump has done over the past year and what his next three years in office might bring.

Guests:

• Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.
• Jonathan Swan, a White House reporter for The New York Times.
• Charlie Savage, who covers national security and legal policy for The New York Times.
