| 10/21/25 | Murder on the High Seas Part III | Since early September, President Donald Trump has ordered a series of U.S. military strikes on vessels in the Caribbean Sea the administration claims are linked to drug trafficking groups, leaving 32 people dead. One recent strike left two survivors, briefly detained by the U.S. military, and now reportedly repatriated to Colombia and Ecuador. The latest strike was reported by the Trump administration to have targeted suspected drug traffickers affiliated with a Colombian rebel group. The Whi... | 34m 23s | ||||||
| 10/7/25 | Murder on the High Seas Part II: What We Know about U.S. Vessel Strikes One Month In | Since early September, President Trump has ordered the U.S. military to conduct multiple lethal strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea suspected of drug trafficking, resulting in at least 21 deaths. What do we actually know about the people killed and the vessels targeted? What legal justification is the administration putting forward for the killings— and is it viable? Is there anything to stop the President from making further “terrorist” designations, of citizens or non-citizens, and... | 47m 50s | ||||||

| 9/16/25 | What Just Happened: CISA and the Fate of U.S. Cybersecurity | The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) of 2015 is set to expire at the end of this month on September 30, 2025. The Act removes barriers to companies sharing information about cyber threats, addressing privacy concerns and requires the federal government to share threat information. Many consider CISA one of the foundations of U.S. cybersecurity efforts. As Congress considers whether or not to reauthorize CISA, former Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI cyber division,... | 27m 14s | ||||||
| 9/11/25 | Sen. Elissa Slotkin on a New Vision for American National Security | Last week, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) unveiled a new “national security war plan,” centered on reviving the middle class, winning the global tech race, and rethinking how Americans are protected in an era of shifting threats and changing geopolitical realities.

| 9/9/25 | Murder on the High Seas? What You Need to Know about the U.S. Strike on the Caribbean Vessel | Last week, the United States carried out an unprecedented strike against a vessel suspected of narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean, destroying the vessel and reportedly killing 11 people on board. This action raises highly concerning questions about the process followed within the U.S. government: how and by whom was the strike authorized? Why was it carried out by U.S. armed forces? And what kind of accountability or pushback might we see from Congress, in courts, or within the gove... | 54m 49s | ||||||

| 8/20/25 | What Just Happened: Federalization of DC Law Enforcement, Legal Authorities and Updates | The Trump administration’s unprecedented federalization of policing in Washington, D.C. raises significant legal and policy questions about the Executive Branch’s power over the Metropolitan Police Department and the use of National Guard forces from D.C. and other states, among other pressing topics.

| 8/14/25 | What Just Happened: Federalization of Law Enforcement in Washington DC | This week, the Trump administration took over command of the D.C. police department, and surged federal law enforcement officers and National Guard units into the city. While the United States has a long tradition of leaving most policing to state and local agencies, federal law enforcement has specific powers, and there are well-established limits on the use of military forces for domestic law enforcement, but the rules for DC are particular. In this episode, host David Aaron is joined by Ca... | 47m 53s | ||||||

| 7/24/25 | Decoding Trump’s AI Playbook: The AI Action Plan and What Comes Next | Yesterday, the White House released its long-awaited AI Action Plan and signed three executive orders on AI, laying out the Trump administration’s strategy to secure what it calls “unquestioned and unchallenged” U.S. dominance across the entire AI tech stack. Framing AI as a global race for technological supremacy, the Plan envisions nothing short of an industrial revolution, an information revolution—and even a renaissance—all driven by AI. To achieve that vision, the Plan is centere... | 1h 02m 56s | ||||||
| 7/18/25 | What Just Happened: The Budget Bill and the Future of DHS and ICE | The massive budget bill that passed this month allocates tens of billions of dollars to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Homeland Security Investigation (HSI). The influx of funding of that scope and size will significantly expand the role DHS and immigration enforcement agencies play in American life. What are the the institutional constraints on the FBI and law enforcement agencies compared to those on DHS and immigration enforce... | 43m 17s | ||||||

And yet, too many political leaders and others continue denying the scale and scope of the travesty that unfolded there. Wha... | 38m 30s | ||||||
