  • The State Of The Civil War In Sudan
    Nov 13 2025
    The civil war in Sudan has claimed the lives of some 150,000 people.

    From the outside looking in, the story of the war is one of two competing generals, foreign involvement complicating matters, and mass casualties among the innocent.

    Now, following a massacre in the city of El Fasher, the rebels have agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by the Quad — a group of group of four countries including the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. But for how long will it hold?

    We discuss the latest on the conflict in Sudan and the humanitarian crisis. What is the international community doing to help (or hurt) the situation?

  • The Financial Burden Of Caregiving
    Nov 13 2025
    In-home elder care costs are rising more than three times faster than inflation.

    AARP estimates that caregivers in the U.S. spend an average of $7,242 out of pocket each year.

    Cuts to federal spending have gutted programs that support them. And amidst the longest government shutdown in history, what little help was left is quickly drying up.

    Why is the cost of care going up? What can be done to combat those costs?

  • ICYMI: Trump Pardons Top Jan. 6 Conspirators
    Nov 11 2025
    Late Sunday, while most eyes were on the Senate’s shutdown negotiations, the Trump administration was busy rewriting the history of the 2020 election.

    Just before midnight, a Justice Department lawyer posted a list on X of dozens of the president’s top allies and former aides who’d received pardons related to their efforts to overturn that election.

    Among them are Trump’s former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani; Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows; and Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who tried to overturn election results in key swing states and spread false claims of widespread voting machine fraud.

    What do these pardons do? And how is the president using the Justice Department to shield those closest to him from future legal consequences?
