We start in Bend, Oregon, with the deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School. We walk through the full police timeline, the teacher who tackled the shooter, the father who ultimately shot and killed him, and the legal questions surrounding how the 16-year-old got the shotgun.
Then, we break down the growing tension between the U.S. and Ukraine over intelligence sharing and Starshield, plus President Trump’s decision to temporarily waive nearly all of the major new Russia sanctions and tariffs Congress passed last month.
Also in today's episode: Trump’s East Potomac golf-course fight, his new women’s-health executive order and NIH division, plus Quick Hitters on Katie Zacharia, new airline rules, Elon Musk’s SpaceX-share plan, the Supreme Court, and Amelia Earhart.
