Strict Scrutiny - Will SCOTUS Join the GOP War on Mail-in Ballots?

Kate and guest co-host Ian Bassin of Protect Democracy kick off the show by covering the latest legal news, including developments at the Pentagon and Department of Justice, as well as Trump’s ominous threat to judges. Then, they recap the week’s opinions and oral arguments, focusing on Watson v. RNC, a case that could totally upend mail-in voting. Finally, Elora Mukherjee, director of the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic at Columbia Law School, returns to the show to discuss the asylum case argued before the Court last week, the birthright citizenship case now on deck, and her work with detainees at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Do school lunches really need an overhaul?

School lunch has been revamped a ton over the last two decades. Now, the Trump administration wants to rejigger the menu once more to align with its Make America Healthy Again agenda. That means more meat. More dairy. But do schools really need another menu overhaul? And could they even afford it?

In Project Hail Mary, amateur astronaut Ryland Grace must travel light years from Earth to save humanity from a dying Sun. The stakes are high, to say the least. But author Andy Weir was intentional about centering hope in his bestselling novel, which inspired the recent blockbuster film starring Ryan Gosling. In today’s episode, Andy Weir joins Here and Now’s Indira Lakshmanan to discuss his creative world-building process, and why he remains optimistic about our ability to collaborate in the face of existential threats.

Global News Podcast - Trump says he could ‘take the oil in Iran’

President Trump has said he could "take the oil in Iran" and possibly seize Kharg Island through which most Iranian oil is exported. He spoke to the Financial Times, as thousands of US ground troops arrived in the Middle East. But Mr Trump later told reporters a deal could be reached with Iran "very soon". The Israeli military says it has struck targets across the Iranian capital, where there are reports of heavy explosions and large scale power cuts. Also: a giant NASA rocket has arrived back on its launchpad after earlier technical problems, ahead of the Artemis mission to the far side of the moon; the English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur parts company with another manager, Igor Tudor, who left the club by mutual consent; a woman born to British parents has become the first British mayor in France. And, governments attending a UN wildlife summit have approved a list of 40 new species for international protection -- including giant otters and striped hyenas.

The Source - Mayor Jones reports back from Taiwan trade trip

San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is using overseas trade missions to make the case that the city can compete for the industries shaping the next economy. Her latest trip, a March delegation visit to Taiwan, was framed by City Hall as an effort to strengthen bilateral ties, attract investment, and position San Antonio as a landing spot for Taiwanese firms looking to expand in the United States.array(3) { [0]=> string(38) "https://www.tpr.org/podcast/the-source" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(1) "0" }
