Laws and Rights After Roe
The Atlantic's Executive Editor Adrienne LaFrance discusses a post-Roe America with two contributing writers. Legal historian Mary Ziegler and constitutional law scholar David French answer questions about what happens now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned. How will abortion bans be enforced? What will come of the legal and legislative battle moving to the states? And what other rights could the Court revoke?

Russia's War
After years of threats, Russian forces invaded Ukraine—culminating in the largest attack against one European state by another since the Second World War.

What happens now?

shallowest interview yet
A bit of cozy reputation laundering for Ms Spanberger. Still don’t know what she’s for, except platitudes about pragmatism. Isaac chimes in here and there to mention how cool it is to be in the CIA.
The Atlantic is one of the best publications out there.
Their podcast episodes are excellent and their website has some of the most comprehensive elucidations you’re going to see on many important topics. Def was worth subscribing to help support excellent journalism.
The haters have to hate. trump’s cult loves to repeat his myriad lies and projections as they’re brainwashed and manipulated by state TV and propagandizing sources like Breitbart, RT, Oan and FOX amongst others. They are largely opinion sources now by agitators, shock jocks and propagandists propped up by the ultra donor wealthy class to keep us all fighting while they decimate our wealth in the middle and lower classes. This is age old news of four decades now yet trump and the GOP still manage to convince the “poorly educated,” the uninformed, the non critical thinkers and the bigots that they have their backs. They get screwed too but don’t see it due to the above. Sad we are where we are with so much disinformation out there; mostly coming from the now radical, Fascist right. No thanks. Vote Democratic and save our constitutional republic and democracy.
