  • Is tit-for-tat political gerrymandering the future of US politics?

    Is tit-for-tat political gerrymandering the future of US politics?
    Apr 22 2026
    Virginia voters delivered a major win to Democrats on Tuesday.

    A narrow majority voted to allow lawmakers to bypass the state's bipartisan redistricting commission. That means the Democratic-led legislature will create a map that’s more favorable to them in the midterms.

    It's the latest chapter in a redistricting saga that President Trump started last year, but is the tit-for-tat redistricting battle the future of US electoral politics?

    We speak with Democratic Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger to hear her perspective.

  • How to move 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium out of Iran

    How to move 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium out of Iran
    Apr 21 2026
    The U.S. estimates that Iran possesses nearly 1,000 pounds of highly-enriched uranium.


    It’s not quite enriched to weapons-grade, but it’s not far off.

    As part of its attempt to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the U.S. is attempting to negotiate with Iran to give up this cache.

    How would that even work?

    We hear from Scott Roecker, vice president of the Nuclear Materials Security Program at the Nuclear Threat Initiative.

  • What does PEPFAR’s future look like in the Trump administration?

    What does PEPFAR’s future look like in the Trump administration?
    Apr 20 2026
    PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, has saved 26 million lives since President George W. Bush launched the program in 2003.

    But the Trump administration has made major changes to the way the U.S. distributes foreign aid, disrupting HIV care — and leaving many health workers uncertain about the future of PEPFAR.


    What do those changes to foreign assistance mean for the fight against HIV and AIDS around the world?

    Host Juana Summers speaks with Dr. Deborah Birx, who once was the U.S. global AIDS coordinator in charge of PEPFAR.
