  • The Link Between Misogyny And Violent Extremism

    The Link Between Misogyny And Violent Extremism
    Oct 2 2025
    How does hatred towards women relate to violence?

    We’ve seen more than a few incidents of political extremism and mass violence in the U.S. over the last few years.

    In the days, weeks, and months after acts like these, we seek motives. We try to understand why violence is perpetrated in hopes of preventing it in the future.

    One expert argues that in that search for answers – we’re missing something crucial. Something that keeps us from addressing this violence and extremism head on. That blind spot is misogyny.

    We sit down with Cynthia Miller-Idriss. She is a sociologist and founding director of the Polarization and Extremism Research & Innovation Lab, or PERIL at American University. She’s also the author of “Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism.” She joins us to talk about her book and latest research.

  • Checking In On The Federal Workforce As The Government Shuts Down

    Checking In On The Federal Workforce As The Government Shuts Down
    Oct 1 2025
    The White House is continuing its mission to hollow out the federal workforce.

    The Trump administration has signaled that it will use the government shutdown to prompt and encourage mass resignations and layoffs.

    More than 150,000 federal employees plan to leave the U.S. government payroll this week. It’s the largest single-year exodus of federal workers since World War II.

    For workers who opted into the deferred exit program, those resignations began on Tuesday. Workers who didn’t take the buyouts were recently threatened with dismissal.

    We check in on the state of the federal workforce.

    What happens now that tens of thousands of these employees are leaving? And what’s life like for those who remain?
