The Bulwark Podcast - Will Stancil: The Heroes of Minneapolis
From dads standing guard at school doors, to Costco moms delivering food to people afraid to leave home, and to the ICE spotters patrolling the streets— everyday Minnesotans have been standing up to the Trump administration’s terror campaign with a vibrant sense of community that Stephen Miller apparently did not even consider a possibility. And while most of the rank-and-file activists are not particularly ideological, leftwing protestors are now creating tensions as they try to play a more visible role with dumpster fires and barricades. Plus, Tim makes an urgent plea to the Democratic candidates in the Texas Senate race to skip the racial politics and focus instead on what voters care about.
Minneapolis activist and social media firebrand Will Stancil joins Tim Miller.

Marketplace All-in-One - The political cloud hanging over the Fed
Hey Smarties! We recorded today’s episode before the House passed a spending package that will end the partial government shutdown. We’re monitoring the situation as it develops.
President Trump has shown no signs of easing his pressure campaign on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. But this could spell trouble for Trump’s pick for Powell’s successor, Kevin Warsh. Marketplace’s Nancy Marshall-Genzer joins Kimberly to explain. Plus, we’ll get into what you should know about Warsh’s history at the Fed and more of the latest news from the central bank.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "Trump’s Political Drama With Powell Overshadows Fed Rate Decision" from The New York Times
- "What would Kevin Warsh bring to the Federal Reserve?" from Marketplace
- "Fed keeps interest rates unchanged, despite pressure from Trump" from Marketplace
- "Trump Needs an Off-Ramp for Powell Feud to Speed Warsh Into Fed" from Bloomberg
- "The economic headache that's coming for Kevin Warsh" from Politico
We love hearing from you. Leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART or email makemesmart@marketplace.org.
