    25 at 250: Lowriders and the flight suit that opened the skies for Black pilots
    Apr 3 2026
    Lowriders have long turned city streets into moving works of art. Now, a new exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution is tracing the history of lowriding from its roots in Chicano communities to its influence on art and activism. Anthea Hartig, director of the National Museum of American History, talks about perhaps the most famous lowrider of all time, "Gypsy Rose."

    Then, in 1939, a Black aviator named Chauncey Spencer flew in a fragile biplane from Chicago to Washington, D.C., to advocate for Black representation among military pilots. Smithsonian curator Joseph Abel tells the story of that journey and the impact it made.

  • The energy crisis that may be coming for the U.S.

    The energy crisis that may be coming for the U.S.
    Apr 2 2026
    While gas prices across the country have skyrocketed since the start of the war with Iran, the U.S. has been relatively insulated from Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. European and Asian countries haven’t been as lucky. But CNN’s Rana Foroohar said the energy crisis affecting them is likely to hit the U.S., too.

    And, a key panel approved President Trump's plans for a new ballroom. The vote came days after a federal judge ordered the project to stop until Congress signed off on it. The Washington Post's Dan Diamond explains more.

  • What happens if the U.S. pulls out of NATO?

    What happens if the U.S. pulls out of NATO?
    Apr 1 2026
    President Trump is threatening to pull out of NATO, calling the alliance a "paper tiger." Trump and NATO allies in Europe have been at odds since his first term, but the relationship hit a new low following Trump's decision in late February to go to war in Iran without first consulting them. Now, Trump is criticizing allies for not helping the U.S. military. Julianne Smith, former ambassador to NATO under the Biden administration, joins us. Then, the Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday on President Trump's executive order that attempts to end birthright citizenship, which makes almost every child born in the U.S. a citizen. In an unprecedented move, Trump sat in on the oral arguments. We speak with Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow at the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute, and Kim Wehle, former assistant U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C. And, Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that seeks to create a national list of citizens who are eligible to vote in each state, and then directs the U.S. Postal Service to only send mail-in ballots to verified voters. But election experts and state officials in Arizona and Oregon say the order is unconstitutional. We hear from Rick Hasen, director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law.
