Today we ask whether a proposal by Rahm Emanuel for a mandatory retirement age for politicians and judges makes sense and whether it might be a populist issue that could really gain traction—along with, maybe, pardon reform. Also, why do people who work at CBS News think their dumpster fire of an organization should be run the way it was being run when it was being run into the ground? Give a listen.

In the first year of his second term, President Trump has repeatedly said and done things that were previously assumed to be unacceptable to voters.
Whether on Greenland or Gaza, federal prosecutions or federal spending, immigration enforcement or sending the U.S. military to protests of immigration enforcement, the Trump administration appears undeterred on almost all of its agenda.

She discusses her essay, “Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.”

President Trump’s insistence that the U.S. acquire Greenland could become a major international crisis.
He's now threatened tariffs on eight NATO allies who have expressed their opposition to the idea, and that is shaking up the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week.
And more tariffs would increase costs for American businesses at a time when American voters are talking about affordability at home.
Willem Marx reports from Davos, and NPR’s Scott Horsley and Mara Liasson recap the economic and political fallout.
