Were the "optics" of the Mueller hearings worth the media's attention? "Let's be real," Susan Glasser says, "of course it was." After a "nutty" week in politics, the author of The New Yorker's "Letter from Trump's Washington" column talks about Mueller coverage; the impeachment count; and what to do about Trump's distortion field of lies. "It's on us as journalists," she says. "Our job is literally to bear witness." She also says the week showcased how the "right and left now are so deeply dug in to their respective information bubbles."

Simon's report on the latest outrage in Trump's Washington for Eddie Mair's nightly programme on the UK's LBC.

Washington is more hectic than ever, with seemingly historic events happening weekly, if not daily. How does an Israeli look at all of this? Or the current state of the U.S. relationship amid rising challenges on both the Left and Right? Trump's effect on the situation in general? Jumping over to Israel, what is day-to-day life like in the West Bank? Or Gaza? For this episode, I talk to Amir Tibon, who is currently the Haaretz Washington correspondent and co-author of the book, "The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas." He is originally from the kibbutz of Nahal Oz, one of the closest Israeli villages to Gaza.
