Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Fact Checking The White House’s Claims About Crime In Chicago
The National Guard was deployed to Washington, D.C. earlier this month as a part of President Donald Trump’s effort to mitigate crime in the capital. And Chicago could be next.
City and state leaders, such as Gov. JB Pritzker, have made their message clear. “Do not come to Chicago.”
Since then, the White House has issued a press release of its own. A bullet-pointed list of crime statistics and headlines.
Reset will go behind those headlines and fact-check the White House’s claims that Chicago residents want the National Guard in the city with WBEZ criminal justice reporter Chip Mitchell and Northwestern professor Andrew Papachristos.

President Donald Trump is ramping up his attacks on the Federal Reserve.
On Monday, the president posted orders on Truth Social to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook – effective immediately. The president claims she committed mortgage fraud, an allegation first raised by a Trump loyalist and housing official.
Cook, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, responded in a statement saying that Trump has no authority to remove her and that she will continue her duties. Cook has not been charged with a crime.
It’s an unprecedented move that puts into question the independence of the central bank. So, what comes next and what does this mean for the Fed?

The Bulwark Podcast - Jake Sullivan: Trump Is Making China Great Again
A year ago, China was globally isolated and its economy was struggling. But once Trump was back in office pursuing his own personal and political gain, the U.S. brand got tossed in the toilet and the view from Beijing got pretty sweet. Trump has allowed China to buy American microchips that could be used against our own national security interests, he caved on his own trade war with the country, and the divisions he's creating with allies in the West have made China's propaganda job a whole easier. Plus, the tragedy in Gaza, the evolving U.S.-Israel relationship, the one powerful way to squeeze Putin's war machine, and re-examining Biden's original plan to run for re-election. Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan joins Tim Miller.

Lost Debate - A British Revolution
Ravi sits down with Doug Lemov and former UK Schools Minister Nick Gibb to discuss Nick’s new book, Reforming Lessons: Why English Schools Have Improved Since 2010 and How This Was Achieved, and explore one of the most ambitious education reform stories of the past two decades.
Nick lays out how a knowledge-rich curriculum, phonics, behavior expectations, and high-stakes accountability helped England leap from the bottom to near the top of global education rankings. Doug, Ravi, and Nick discuss the sharp contrast between this movement and the state of education in the U.S., where both parties are moving away from rigorous assessments and content standards. They also dig into the political strategy behind the reforms and what it takes to keep them in place.
