Consider This from NPR - Nancy Pelosi announces end to nearly four decades in Congress

Nancy Pelosi is arguably the most powerful woman in American history. After her election to Congress in 1987, she accumulated more and more power, eventually rising to become Speaker of the House in 2007, the first and only woman to hold that office. 


Now in her 20th term, Pelosi announced Thursday morning that she will not seek reelection. 

Susan Page is Washington Bureau chief for USA Today and author of Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power. She joined Consider This host Juana Summers to talk about Pelosi's achievements -- and her legacy.

Independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel joins Bad Faith to tell the harrowing story of being chased down by Israeli settlers in the West Bank before filming a now-viral scene of a settler brutally attacking a Palestinian woman with a club. Executive director of Bisan Center for Research & Development Ubai Abudi, a Palestinian who has experienced similar attacks and detainment by Israel, along with Dr. Jill Stein explain how Uniting for Peace, a UN general assembly resolution, could bring an end to the occupation and genocide by overriding the US veto and getting troops on the ground to protect Palestinians from Israeli violence.

Consider This from NPR - Tariffs aren’t a presidential power, says California Attorney General

Next year, the Supreme Court will decide whether the President can use a five decade old emergency powers act to shape the U.S. economy.

Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or AYEEPA, last spring when he imposed sweeping tariffs of at least 10 percent across all countries.

Wednesday, the nine justices heard oral arguments in the case. And however they decide it — the ruling could affect economic policy and presidential power for years to come.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a democrat, was at the Court and joined Consider This host Juana Summers to talk about the suit and the steps his state is taking to rein in the Trump administration.
