The View From Iran, House Foreign Aid Bills, Supreme Court's Jan. 6 Case
Iran is calling its air strikes on Israel a huge success, even though nearly all their missiles and drones were shot down. It looks like House Speaker Mike Johnson could finally bring foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel up for a vote — well...make that four votes. And the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments today in a January 6th case that asks the question: How does one specific federal law define the obstruction of a congressional proceeding?

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
I like to take walks in the morning and this podcast gives me something to listen to while I’m doing it. The normal episodes are a bit short, but the Sunday Stories are perfect. Keep up the great work!
Saturday is unpleasant, rest of week great!
I hate leaving a fairly negative review for a show that I’ve listened to daily for years, but I can no longer listen to the Saturday version of the show. The voice of the female host is distracting and a bit grating. It truly takes away from the news being reported. I know one’s voice can’t change, but I do think a more pleasant voice should be a requirement for an audio only news source.
The Sunday story
(1 *) . Good topic but Ayesha Rascoe, has a horrible tone of voice. Will stop listening to the Sunday story
