  • Résumé

  • On today’s episode, we’re discussing a pair of recent rulings about the Trump administration’s efforts to cut foreign aid and fire federal workers, leaving us with a “Through the Looking-Glass” moment, where the nonsensical is reality. Plus, we’ll explain some ways to catch a breath in the midst of uncertain economic times. And, we’ll smile at a math problem solved through the power of anime fans.

    Here’s everything we talked about today:

    • “Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Bid to Freeze Foreign Aid” from The New York Times
    • “How to handle the stress of tariff escalation and stock market jitters” from The Washington Post
    • “‘He Finally Shot the Hostage’: Trump’s Trade War Is a Brutal Reality Check” from Politico
    • “OPM retroactively edits probationary firing guidance to note it did not order probationary firings” from Government Executive
    • “How Anime Fans Stumbled upon a Mathematical Proof” from Scientific American
    • “Steve Carell tells students affected by wildfires that prom tickets are paid for” from The Washington Post
