Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. Brian Mann from NPR explains how the president is using emergency powers to take control of the city’s police force. Elizabeth Findell from the Wall Street Journal reports on the growing number of ICE detainees being flown from state to state so often that lawyers are losing them in the system. Mothers are leaving the workforce in greater numbers. Abha Bhattarai from the Washington Post has been looking into why. Plus, Trump picked a conservative economist and Project 2025 contributor to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, what we know about a steel-plant explosion in Pennsylvania, and the towns and cities offering big checks to tempt you into moving.  Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
