  • Trump vs. the media
    Sep 23 2026
    Angered by what he perceived as negative coverage, President Trump barred journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House grounds. Those outlets have since sued the government, alleging the prohibition violates the First Amendment. Additionally, television networks decided to suspend participation in the system of shared coverage of the White House in a show of solidarity. We explain what's going on.

    This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, and media correspondent David Folkenflik.

  • Gen Z democratic socialist ousts 30-year incumbent in Colorado
    Jul 1 2026
    Colorado Democrats brought an anti-incumbency streak to their primaries this week. In Colorado's 1st congressional district, 29-year-old Melat Kiros, a democratic socialist, unseated 30-year incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette. In another upset, Sen. Michael Bennet lost his bid to win the nomination for governor. We discuss the anti-incumbent mood shaping this election season and take a look at one of the few toss-up House races in the country.

  • Is America's 250th birthday celebration too partisan?
    Jul 2 2026
    This weekend, the United States marks its 250th birthday, and what Congress intended to be a nonpartisan, patriotic celebration has instead become — like seemingly everything else — partisan. We discuss how the event became fraught with politics and a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll showing that American pride is also deeply divided along partisan lines. Plus, a special Thursday edition of Can't Let It Go.

    This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith.
