  • ICYMI: Trump Fired And Unfired The Employees That Manage Our Nuclear Stockpile
    Feb 19 2025
    It was an abrupt about-face. Last Thursday, federal employees at the agency that manages the U.S. stockpile of nuclear weapons were suddenly let go by the Trump administration, with some employees receiving the news late Thursday night.

    Then, as early as the next morning, some of those firings were reversed, with employees being told they should come back to work.

    The White House has struggled to reach some of the employees it fired to tell them that they still have their jobs.

    We discuss what's happening at the Department of Energy's agency for our nuclear stockpile and what this latest firing of federal employees could mean for our security.

  • Game Mode: The New American Board Game Craze
    Feb 19 2025
    We all know the classics: Monopoly, Backgammon, Checkers, and many more.

    For some, board games are relegated to the dregs of American entertainment, to be broken out at bad parties and played by candlelight on nights where the power's out.

    But for many, a new wave of board game production and enthusiasm has them clearing calendars and pulling up a chair.

    We discuss what's driving the tabletop gaming surge and what it means for an industry that's primarily analog.

  • 'If You Can Keep It': The Future Of The Democratic Party
    Feb 18 2025
    A November 2024 Pew Research survey found that nearly-half of Democrats are pessimistic about the party's future, compared to only 13 percent of Republicans.

    The 2024 election was a rude awakening for leaders on the left, many of whom are grappling with how to shift the public perception of the party.

    In this latest edition of "If You Can Keep It," we get at the heart of this political moment and ask the questions that really matter about the state of our democracy.
