  • Trump used the military to target a Venezuelan vessel. Is it legal?

    Trump used the military to target a Venezuelan vessel. Is it legal?
    Sep 19 2025

    A 30 second video clip shows a boat bobbing in the water.

    Then, a fireball and a huge plume of smoke.

    President Trump posted the footage on social media this week, saying he ordered the U-S military to attack what Trump called “narcoterrorists from Venezuela.”

    It’s at least the second time this month that President Trump has ordered this sort of a deadly strike on a boat that he claims carried illegal drugs.

    It's an example of the new ways Trump is deploying military force. The President has used the National Guard in American cities.

    Do the strikes on Venezuelan vessels signal a new way of using the military abroad, and is it legal?

  • Kimmel cancellation renews questions about free speech

    Kimmel cancellation renews questions about free speech
    Sep 18 2025

    President Trump has said for years that he wants Jimmy Kimmel off the air.


    Now, ABC and its parent company Disney have put the show on indefinite hiatus.

    One key player here is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr.

    Today he applauded ABC’s decision, posting on X, “Broadcast TV stations have always been required by their licenses to operate in the public interest.”

    Kimmel’s cancellation reopens questions about free speech, the role of the FCC, and the relationship between the commission and the White House.

    NPR political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro and former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler shed some light on those questions.
