Trump and Elon Musk attacked each other on social media in an extraordinary public fight. Politico has the blow-by-blow. Afghanistan has a complex set of migration exemptions owing to the war. The travel ban could complicate that. The Washington Post’s Kabul bureau chief, Rick Noack, joins to explain. The deported Venezuelan migrants were said by Trump aides to be the “worst of the worst.” ProPublica’s Melissa Sanchez and colleagues have been digging to reveal a more complicated picture. Plus, Trump and Xi Jinping spoke for the first time, and we saw two significant Supreme Court rulings: a consequential judgement in a woman’s “reverse discrimination” case, and one regarding a move by Mexico to take gun companies to task for arming gangs.

What happens when humans try to play God? The recent bombing of a fertility clinic in Southern California by an "anti-natalist" – someone opposed to human reproduction – reveals a disturbing philosophy gaining traction. These individuals believe bringing children into the world is fundamentally wrong, with many advocating for the eventual extinction of humanity.Behind this radical position lies a godless worldview where humans, not their Creator, determine the value of life. As Pastor Bob Fleischmann observes, "When people are godless, they become god themselves—they become the arbiters of right and wrong and who lives and who dies." This core insight connects seemingly disparate headlines we examine: from anti-natalism to a controversial Georgia case of a brain-dead pregnant woman kept on life support, to the miraculous development of a CRISPR-based treatment for an infant with a rare genetic disorder.Media bias features prominently in our discussion, particularly regarding ProPublica winning a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that allegedly linked pro-life laws to negative health outcomes—reporting our panel argues contained significant factual errors. This raises crucial questions about journalism as advocacy versus objective truth-seeking, and the responsibility Christians bear in consuming and sharing information critically.Throughout our conversation, the contrast becomes clear: worldviews centered on human autonomy inevitably create impossible burdens, placing responsibility for life-and-death decisions on individuals ill-equipped to bear them. Meanwhile, scientific breakthroughs like personalized genetic treatments demonstrate both human ingenuity and the temptation to cross ethical boundaries when God is removed from the equation.Have you noticed how difficult ethical decisions become when detached from a biblical framework? Join us as we navigate these complex waters and discover how faith provides the compass we desperately need in today's moral landscape.

Over the last 10 years Washington has passed a bevy of climate laws aimed at reducing the state’s carbon emissions. That includes a carbon auction, a ban on coal in the state’s energy mix, and a requirement that the state reach net zero emissions by 2045. But during that same period, energy production from renewable sources has actually declined slightly. Oregon has set its sights on net zero emissions by 2050. It, too, has seen sluggish growth in renewable energy. Both states rely on the Bonneville Power Administration to move energy across the state. A new investigation from Oregon Public Broadcasting and ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network, found that the Bonneville Power Administration's aging grid may be stymieing decarbonization efforts in the Northwest.

The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price.
