Peter Van Doren and David Kemp bring libertarian skepticism to the bipartisan political support for nuclear power. They analyze why regulatory reform alone may not solve nuclear's economic problems and discuss how recent U.S. projects have failed to deliver on promises of cost-effectiveness even after a supposed "renaissance" in the late 2000s. They finish up with a discussion on whether small modular reactors (SMRs) are the nuclear silver bullet.

Apparently, Ireland's government has not learned any lessons from rent control disasters elsewhere. Thus, the Irish will have to learn this hard lesson and face the consequences of their economic folly.

Mahmoud Khalil was a leader in Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian protests. In March, he was arrested by ICE agents and held for more than 100 days in a Louisiana detention facility. The Trump administration claims Khalil is deportable — even though he has a green card, married to a U.S. citizen — because he poses a threat to U.S. foreign policy goals.
Khalil’s alleged offense here is speech.
Khalil is out now on bail, and he’s still speaking. I wanted to hear what he had to say.

A Letter From Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil
The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi

Today, cookbooks are ubiquitous. Go to any bookstore and you can find dozens, if not hundreds, of different cookbooks.
Search online, and you can find tens of thousands of websites that provide recipes.
The story of cookbooks is fascinating because it mirrors the entire evolution of human civilization. Not just how we cook and prepare food, but also how we organize knowledge, and what we deem to be important.
Learn more about the history of cookbooks, how they have evolved over time, and how they reflect our culture on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Texas Democrats, in an attempt to block Trump's redistricting effort, shut down a special legislative session by fleeing the state. Texas State Rep. James Talarico joins the show to explain what happens now and why he and his Democratic colleagues believe that getting out of town is the best way to serve their constituents in this moment. Then, Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison, new reporting about who's sending all those annoying fundraising texts, and, of course, Trump's comments on the most important story of the moment: Sydney Sweeney's jeans.
A yacht—like any good exchanged on the free market—represents countless value-maximizing exchanges and represents an industry that employs thousands of people to provide goods and services to others.
