Everything Everywhere Daily - Fingerprints (Encore)

Located on the tips of our fingers are features known as friction ridges. We evolved them to get a better grip on objects. 

It just so happens that those friction ridges are unique to every person. 

That allows us to use friction ridges as unique identifiers and for authorities to use them to catch criminals, and in some ways, we have been doing so for centuries. 

Learn more about fingerprints and fingerprinting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Meltdown

Trump throws a temper tantrum at Mar-a-Lago, boasting he draws bigger crowds than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did for the “I Have a Dream” speech. Is he freaking out because Harris is surging in the polls? Meanwhile, Harris and Walz hit Detroit, where they score a UAW union endorsement and tout her economic record. Brian Tyler Cohen discusses his new book, “Shameless: Republicans’ Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy,” and then joins Jon and Favs for a game called Take Appreciators.

NPR's Book of the Day - Nancy Pelosi opens up about how she wields ‘The Art of Power’

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says her new book, The Art of Power, is not a memoir. Instead, she says, it's an inside look at specific moments in American history – like the 2008 financial crisis and January 6 – and how she navigated them. In today's episode, the Speaker Emerita sits down with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly to discuss why she didn't want to run for office in the first place, how she looks back on some of the biggest decisions she's made while in power, and what role she played in President Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 race.

Today on the show, the lengths the IOC will go to protect its trademarks and how smaller brands try to avoid their dragnet.

What does the Abandon Biden movement do now that Biden is no longer on the ticket? Head of communications Ahmad Hudhayfah joins Bad Faith to discuss the movement's attitude to Kamala Harris, its current demands, and what he makes of so many "coconut-pilled" leftists who had formally articulated a commitment to Palestinian rights.
