Unfortunately, slavery was not just propped up by policy in the slave states, but federally. It is often overlooked that the federal government—not just slave states—had implemented legal protections of slavery by policy for decades.

Congress just approved significant funding increases going forward for a handful of core domestic violence funding and policy initiatives. But at the same time, many services for survivors face a new level of unpredictability. Victim support funds in some states plummeted as much as 70%, leaving states to try and cover some of those costs. The Trump administration instituted requirements that domestic violence survivors prove their immigration status before being allowed into shelters and certain long-time domestic violence services remain a target in upcoming federal budget talks. We’ll get a picture of the current trends for domestic violence prevention.

On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s sweeping “retaliatory” tariffs, ruling that he doesn’t have the authority to impose them under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Many of the administration’s tariffs, however, remain intact, and President Trump has announced a new 15% global tariff following the decision. We discuss what that means companies, consumers, and the U.S.’s global trading partners. Plus, new analysis from the CATO Institute finds that the presence of immigrants helps to ease the federal budget deficit.

From the BBC World Service: Governments around the world are scrambling to react to President Trump’s decision to impose a sweeping 15% tariff on all imports to the United States. It follows Friday’s Supreme Court judgment that ruled the President had exceeded his authority when he imposed tariffs using a law reserved for national emergencies. And we’ll visit Spain, where the government recently announced plans to legalize around half a million undocumented migrants in a move designed to boost the country’s workforce in economic sectors that have struggled to recruit. Spain’s economy has been outstripping its European Union partners and the government wants to keep momentum going.
Plus: President Trump boosts his new global tariff to 15% after the Supreme Court rules many of his duties illegal. And a blizzard causes mass flight cancellations on the U.S. East Coast. Daniel Bach hosts.

A.M. Edition for Feb. 23. After Friday’s Supreme Court ruling, new tariffs are on the table. But WSJ correspondent Tom Fairless says President Trump’s favored tool for remaking global trade hasn’t helped to shrink the U.S. trade deficit, with many U.S. trade partners now subsidizing their export-driven economies. Plus, violence erupts in Mexico after the military kills the country’s most powerful drug kingpin, escalating the government’s crackdown on cartels.
And the once-boring ETF market is embracing more exotic and risky bets, with asset managers looking to grab a slice of the fees they generate. Daniel Bach hosts.

A new exhibition opens in March at the Imperial War Museum, London titled Beauty and Destruction: Wartime London in Art. The curator Rebecca Newell explains what we learn from the ways in which artists recorded changes to the city during the Second World War in paintings, drawings and film.
The Hôtel Lutetia, the grand hotel on Paris's Left Bank, has over the years drawn bohemians and great artists, including Matisse and Picasso. However, for a short period around the Second World War, the hotel was witness to significant events. Jane Rogoyska's new book Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War peoples the hotel with the intellectual and refugees gathering there in the 1930s, the men of the German military intelligence service who made it their headquarters and the deportees returning from concentration camps.

Thanks to AI coding agents, basically anyone can program their own software without much technical knowledge. But lowering the barrier to sophisticated web design is also opening the door to more scams. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino experienced the effects firsthand.
Bay Curious listener Grant Strother has been visiting San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood his whole life. He loves to get a caprese sandwich at Molinari's Deli, which has been there since the late 1800s. But he wondered, apart from the restaurants, how Italian is North Beach these days? Do Italians still live here? Or, is it all just for tourists?
