Consider This from NPR - Will a ceasefire deal move forward after two years of war between Israel and Hamas?

After two years of bloodshed, Israel and Hamas have agreed to phase one of a ceasefire deal.

It’s a moment of hope — and some skepticism — amid a war that’s had an enormous toll.

Where might this 20-point peace plan lead?

You'll hear from NPR's Daniel Estrin, as well as some of the many people in Gaza and in Israel who’ve talked to our reporters over the last two years.

Bad Faith - Episode 516 – One Psyop After Another (w/ Van Lathan Jr.)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Van Lathan Jr., who went viral for confronting Kanye West over his "Black people chose slavery" remarks on TMZ, is a culture savant, podcaster, and political commentator whom you might have recently seen giving Scott Jennings the business on CNN. He joins Bad Faith to discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, which is being heralded as one of the best films of the year. But while it's being read as positive depiction of left revolutionaries, Brie has never felt a bigger urge to walk out of a theatre than she did in the first 30 minutes of this movie. Is the film a misogynoir-filled anti-left psyop? A fun action caper? Both? But first, Van and Brie discuss the spate of right-leaning podcasters expressing regret about boosting Trump, what it means to have "a politics," and how to contend with the establishment's commitment to "voting blue no matter who" and blaming third parties for the Democrats' failures.

Consider This from NPR - A week into the shutdown, federal workers are stuck in limbo

It's been a week since a federal shutdown ground work at numerous government agencies to a halt.

There's no indication that an agreement could come soon, as Republicans and Democrats in congress trade continue blame. Meanwhile, federal workers are stuck in limbo, and its unclear when or if they'll be able to return to their jobs. 

NPR's Labor Correspondent Andrea Hsu and political reporter Stephen Fowler explain what's causing the impasse  in congress and what's at stake for the federal employees caught in the middle.
