An unusual confluence of factors have brought back a climate-change fighting policy that many Democrats saw as politically toxic: the carbon tax. While the idea has long been the favored tool of economists (Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is a strong supporter), some Republicans (like Sen. Mitt Romney) and the American Petroleum Institute, the Biden White House has always opposed pricing carbon. The president's staff has feared both the general politics and the specific fact that a carbon tax could violate the president's pledge not to raise taxes on Americans making under $400,000 a year.

Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man, was shot and killed while jogging in 2020. As the murder trial begins, NPR reports from the Georgia community where his killing happened. Colin Powell, America’s first Black secretary of state, who shaped American foreign policy in recent decades, has died from complications from Covid-19, CNN reports. He was 84. Reuters has a trove of internal documents revealing how Amazon created knockoff goods and manipulated search results to boost its own product lines in India. Democrats in Congress are working to pass an ambitious spending plan to further their agenda. Politico explains why the next few days are so important. The appearance of an Arctic walrus on European shores was fun at first. But scientists needed to convince him to head home, for his own sake and to stop the damage he’s been doing to boats. The Wall Street Journal has the story.

Congress returns from recess today with 13 days until Speaker Nancy Pelosi's new Halloween deadline to pass the party's package of infrastructure and social services legislation. One problem: The latter has yet to be written — or really even outlined. And yet: A series of calls Sunday with sources we trust to give us an honest read on the state of play turned up some genuine optimism they can get it done. At least perhaps an outline of an agreement. The end of October is both the official deadline to renew transportation funding and the effective deadline to provide a boost to Democrat Terry McAuliffe in his surprisingly close campaign for Virginia governor. As Heather Caygle and Burgess Everett wrote over the weekend, there's a recognition among top Democrats that they've got to get this done to help save the state — and that a loss could be seen as an indictment of the party's legislative agenda.

For this conversation, we spoke with Greg McKeown, the New York Times-bestselling author of the books Multipliers, Essentialism, and Effortless, which was just released earlier this year. When we read both Essentialism and Effortless, we knew we wanted to have Greg on the podcast. Everything he wrote in these books seemed immediately applicable; not just in our lives or careers, but even towards our membership in the Church.Greg is also a Latter-day Saint, and he was able to talk with us about how the concepts of his books apply to issues that are often on the minds of fellow church members—things like callings, raising families, and managing work/life balance.Greg's writing has appeared or been covered by The New York Times, Fast Company, Fortune, HuffPost, Politico, Inc. Magazine, and the Harvard Business Review. He's also appeared on many television and radio programs, including NPR, NBC, and Fox. Greg is originally from London, England, and now lives in Calabasas, California with his wife, Anna, and their four children. He did his graduate work at Stanford University.

State Politics Heating Up Across Country Jessica Taylor, the Senate and Governors Editor for The Cook Political Report, and Zach Montellaro, state politics reporter at POLITICO take a look at state politics and gubernatorial races around the country where candidates are debating issues around education, police reform, and abortion rights. New Analyses Show Potential Undercount of Black Population During 2020 Census The findings have brought up concerns that some jurisdictions and civil rights leaders have had about lower-than-expected totals in the 2020 Census. “This might be our greatest undercount since 1960, or 1950,” said Marc Morial, former mayor of New Orleans and president and chief executive of the National Urban League, which sued the bureau last year to stop the count from ending early. Morial joined us to discuss the undercount and the far-reaching implications it could have.  The Experience of Resettling as an Afghan Refugee Fifty-five thousand. That's how many Afghans have relocated to the U.S. since mid-August.According to the Department of Homeland Security, about 40 percent are eligible for special immigrant visas because of the work they did aiding U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. But for other Afghan evacuees, it's unclear what their legal status will be. Many entered the country not as traditional refugees, but instead under a temporary legal process known as parole. That means many of these refugees currently don't have a direct pathway to permanent residency. For more on this, The Takeaway spoke with Naheed Samadi-Bahram, Women for Afghan Women's U.S. Country Director.

Chris, Melanie, and Zack return to discuss Richard Haass's critique of “Washington's new flawed foreign policy consensus.” The Council on Foreign Relations president laments the bipartisan turn away from the mostly internationalist spirit that has informed U.S. foreign policy since the end of the World War II. Is he right? Does such a consensus exist? And does that explain why successive U.S. presidents seem so skeptical of internationalism? The three also try to discern what Haass favors as an alternative, but conclude that dissatisfaction with the current direction of U.S. foreign policy doesn't easily translate into specific and implantable policies. Grievances for Katherine Tai for an underwhelming speech on U.S. trade policy, for Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for holding up ambassadorial appointments, and to those who harassed Sen. Kyrsten Sinema — in the restroom! — for being … jerks. Attagirl to Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa who braved abuse and intimidation for uncovering corruption and misrule in the Philippines and elsewhere. Chris gives a shout out to Reps. Jim McGovern and Peter Meijer for introducing legislation to rein in executive power, and Melanie praises the developers at GlaxoSmithKline for their life-saving new malaria vaccine. She also gives a special shout out to her nephew Zack and his Utah state champion golf team at Long Peak High School.

Next, some good airline news for a change. For all those that love their carryon bags, overhead bin space is getting bigger and there are also more spots. The changes are rolling out on newer planes, but space is increasing by 50% and both passengers and the airlines are finding that it is reducing the friction of loading on the plane. Scott McCartney, Middle Seat columnist at the WSJ, joins us for more space in those overhead bins. Finally, we recently heard that the ivory-billed woodpecker was deemed extinct and now the American bumblebee could be at risk. Their population has decreased by 89% across the country and has already disappeared from 8 states. Climate change, pesticides, loss of habitat, and competition from honey bees are driving their numbers down. Asha Gilbert, trending reporter at USA Today, joins us for what to know.

 It's a story we've become all too familiar with since Democrats took control of the House in 2019: Lawmakers issue subpoenas to Trump White House officials — who then stonewall at his behest.   Today, the Jan. 6 committee could find itself hitting the same roadblocks. Steve Bannon and Kash Patel have been subpoenaed for questioning today, and Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino are slated for Friday. Trump has asked them not to cooperate, claiming executive privilege bars their participation — an assertion Democrats call bogus.  Raghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook.

So what's the state of negotiations between the White House and Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema? The talks have been shrouded in mystery, but we have some fresh details we can share this morning. More is known about Manchin than Sinema, and for a good reason: While Manchin has been willing to discuss his priorities in detail with his colleagues in the Senate, Sinema only negotiates with the White House. Part of solving the Manchinema puzzle is that the 74-year-old former governor from a coal state and the 45-year-old former Green Party activist from Arizona are at odds on some major policies.

Manufacturing and supply chain issues continue to affect most industries and if you are remodeling your kitchen or buying new appliances you might want to prepare for some delays. Some people have had to wait months and in extreme cases a year to get the appliances they ordered.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Samstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Stopp von EU-Geldern für Polen gefordert Nach dem Urteil des polnischen Verfassungsgerichts zum Status von EU-Recht hat die Vizepräsidentin des Europäischen Parlaments, Katarina Barley, finanzielle Konsequenzen für Warschau gefordert. Die Europäische Kommission dürfe keine Corona-Milliarden an Polen geben und müsse auch sonstige Fördergelder sperren, betonte die SPD-Politikerin gegenüber der Zeitung "Die Welt". Das Gericht hatte am Donnerstag entschieden, dass Teile des EU-Rechts nicht mit der polnischen Verfassung vereinbar seien. "Diesen Dammbruch" dürfe die EU-Kommission nicht durchgehen lassen, so Barley weiter. Kurz will nicht zurücktreten In Österreich lehnt Bundeskanzler Sebastian Kurz trotz der Krise seiner Regierung einen Rücktritt weiter ab. Seine Partei ÖVP sei weiter handlungsfähig und handlungswillig, erklärte er in Wien. Zuvor hatte Bundespräsident Alexander Van der Bellen die Handlungsfähigkeit der Regierung in Zweifel gezogen und die Parteien ermahnt, an das Wohl des Landes zu denken. Die zusammen mit der ÖVP regierenden Grünen machten deutlich, dass sie sich eine Fortsetzung der Regierung nur ohne Kurz vorstellen können. Gegen Kurz ermittelt die Staatsanwaltschaft. Ihm wird unter anderem Korruption vorgeworfen. USA wollen mit Taliban reden Die USA und die militant-islamistischen Taliban wollen sich erstmals seit dem US-Rückzug aus Afghanistan zu offiziellen Gesprächen treffen. Wie das Außenministerium in Washington ankündigte, soll an diesem Samstag und Sonntag eine amerikanische Delegation in der katarischen Hauptstadt Doha mit hochrangigen Taliban-Vertretern zusammenkommen. Die USA wollten die neuen Machthaber am Hindukusch zur Achtung der Menschenrechte sowie zu freiem Zugang für Hilfsorganisationen anhalten. Die Taliban kämpfen seit ihrer Machtübernahme Mitte August um die internationale Anerkennung ihrer Regierung. Trump soll Ermittlungen behindern Der frühere US-Präsident Donald Trump versucht laut Medienberichten, die Ermittlungen eines Kongressausschusses zu behindern, der die Hintergründe der Erstürmung des Kapitols Anfang des Jahres aufklären soll. Der "Washington Post" und dem Portal "Politico" liegt nach eigenen Angaben der Brief eines Anwalts vor, in dem ehemalige Vertraute Trumps aufgefordert werden, nicht vor dem Ausschuss auszusagen. Anhänger Trumps hatten am 6. Januar das Kapitol erstürmt. Dabei kamen fünf Menschen ums Leben. Trump war vorgeworfen worden, die Angreifer aufgestachelt zu haben. Erneute Störung bei Facebook Beim US-Internetkonzern Facebook hat es zum zweiten Mal innerhalb einer Woche technische Probleme gegeben. Einige Nutzer konnten erneut das soziale Netzwerk selbst, die Chatdienste WhatsApp und Messenger sowie die Foto-Plattform Instagram nicht erreichen. Die Störung konnte in der Nacht zum Samstag wieder behoben werden. Das Unternehmen entschuldigte sich, machte aber keine Angaben zu Ausmaß oder Ursache der Probleme. Erst am Montag waren sämtliche Facebook-Dienste stundenlang nicht erreichbar gewesen. Facebook erklärte das mit einem Konfigurationsfehler. DFB-Team besiegt Rumänien Die deutsche Fußball-Nationalmannschaft hat ihr WM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen Rumänien mit 2:1 gewonnen. Das Team von Bundestrainer Hansi Flick holte bei der Partie in Hamburg einen 0:1-Rückstand auf. Die Tore für Deutschland schossen Serge Gnabry in der 52. und Thomas Müller in der 81. Minute. Die deutsche Mannschaft bleibt in ihrer Gruppe Tabellenführer. Für Flick, der seit August Bundestrainer ist, war es der vierte Sieg im vierten Spiel mit der Nationalelf. Das nächste WM-Qualifikationsspiel des DFB-Teams findet am Montag gegen Nordmazedonien in Skopje statt.

Politico congressional reporter Nicholas Wu talks about the week's biggest political stories including continuing debt limit negotiations in congress and new details from a Senate report on President Trump's efforts to use the Justice Department to overturn the election results.

A shouting match erupted on the Senate floor after the vote to delay the debt limit crisis for two months. Sens. John Thune and Mitt Romney confronted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer after he lambasted Republicans in a floor speech right after the vote. And, it's no secret that Trump's endorsements have been impulsive, and it looks like he jumped the gun again by giving an early nod to Sean Parnell in the open Pennsylvania Senate race. Republicans we talked to in Washington and Trump-world are clearly worried since the news broke this week that Parnell requested a gag order on his estranged wife Laurie and her lawyer during their custody battle. Shortly after Trump endorsed Parnell in September, rival Jeff Bartos revealed that Parnell's wife filed two protective orders against him in 2017 and 2018. Both were expunged, but some Republicans worry that there may be more shoes to drop. Take the POLITICO Podcast Listener Survey Raghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook.

Donald Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren actually agree on something: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell backed down Wednesday when he offered Democrats an extension of the debt ceiling until December. (As of early this morning, the two sides hadn't finalized the deal.) “McConnell caved,” said Warren. “Looks like Mitch McConnell is folding to the Democrats, again,” said Trump. Was it the filibuster? McConnell backed down after Democratic threats of nuking the filibuster for the debt ceiling started to become more real. At their Tuesday lunch, Democratic senators discussed how McConnell's blockade on the debt ceiling was boosting the case of filibuster reformers. Later that day, Biden, generally a skeptic of filibuster reform, said such a change for the debt ceiling was now a “real possibility.” Take the POLITICO Podcast Listener Survey Raghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook.

David and Helen are joined by Politico's chief Europe correspondent Matthew Karnitschnig to explore the consequences of the German elections. Who were the real winners and losers? Are there lessons for centre-left parties in other countries, including the Labour Party in Britain? And what are the choices facing Germany as it decides on its place in an increasingly unstable world? Plus we ask whether this was a Covid election. If not, why not?Talking Points:What was surprising about the German elections?To expect something is different from seeing it actually happen.Do campaigns make a difference to election outcomes? In this case, it looks like it did. It was pretty clear that Laschet was a poor candidate.Laschet's response to the floods was a turning point.Scholz prevailed because of his experience—he isn't perceived as a change candidate.The SPD base has moved to the left, but Scholz is more of a centrist. The CDU, on the other hand, was much less stable. Most German voters wanted change, and yet it is the continuity Merkel candidate who is most likely to become the next chancellor.This reflects grand coalition politics. Merkel pushed the Christian Democrats into the space of the Social Democrats. But the initiative to form this government is coming from the change parties: the Greens and the FDP. The parties seem to believe that their differences are bridgeable. The two smaller parties are more popular among younger people. Change might be driven from below. The larger party only has about 26 percent; this gives the other parties more leverage.What kind of change would be embraced by both the FDP and the Greens? Mentioned in this Episode:Peter Tiede on German schadenfreude in the TimesThe German election resultsWhat are the coalition options after Germany's election? Further Learning: Matthew Karnitschnig on Olaf Scholz, the ‘teflon candidate'More on Merkel's legacy for the FTMore on Germany policy towards ChinaBackground on the Scholz money-laundering scandalOur most recent episode on GermanyHear more of Matthew on Politico's podcast on European politics, EU Confidential, which he hosts.And as ever, recommended reading curated by our friends at the LRB can be found here: lrb.co.uk/talking  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Democrats have grossly under-delivered in 2021, as seen by the latest polling from Politico. The CDC says the U.S. has undergone the biggest homicide increase in 100 years. A Chicago shoutout with multiple assailants in broad daylight results in zero arrests, which shows you how much progressives can be trusted on crime issues. A woman in Washington State did die directly from the JnJ vaccine, and there's a new definition of “Anti-Vaxxer.” Plus what does 2SLGBTQQIA mean?  Please subscribe to the podcast!
