Chris Urmson has spent the last 20 years pushing the limits of autonomous driving—first at Carnegie Mellon's DARPA Grand Challenge team, then as co-founder of Google's self-driving car project, now Waymo.On this week's episode, the Aurora CEO retraces that journey—from building robot cars in the desert to leading a public company pioneering driverless trucking.He shares why autonomy was always a matter of when, not if, how he handled a high-profile departure from Waymo, and what it takes to build at the intersection of deep tech, safety, and infrastructure.Now eight years into Aurora, Urmson says the future he's been chasing is finally within reach.Guest: Chris Urmson, Co-Founder & CEO of AuroraChapters: 00:00 Trailer00:43 Introduction01:59 FSD: are we there? 14:31 The competition, a million dollar check from LA to LV22:50 Dream like an amateur, execute like a pro32:30 Operate with integrity42:49 The future is here, unevenly distributed49:36 Underestimated decisions, minimizing regrets1:03:55 Retaining value1:16:45 Integrating self-driving1:28:20 Lifer1:29:25 Who Aurora is hiring1:29:53 What “grit” means to Chris1:30:15 OutroMentioned in this episode: Waymo, Google, Rivian, Dmitri Dolgov, Uber, Tesla, The DARPA Grand Challenge, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, United States Department of Defense, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, FedEx, Werner Enterprises, Hirschbach, Schneider Electric, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Sebastian Thrun, Batman, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Anthony Levandowski, Donald Trump, Apple iPhone, Airbnb, Blackmore, Stripe, Titan, Ford, Volkswagen, RJ Scaringe, Peterbilt Motors Company, The Volvo Group, Continental AG, Dara KhosrowshahiLinks:Connect with Chris UrmsonXLinkedInConnect with JoubinXLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

Transcript [music] Welcome to Food Safety in a Minute. The Cascadia Subduction Zone runs off our coast from British Columbia to northern California. We're overdue for a major earthquake that could disrupt water supplies for weeks, even months. Storing at least one gallon of water per day, per person and pet, for a minimum of 14 days is essential. Because that much water is heavy (116 pounds), it's good to choose smaller containers for storage. For instance, soda bottles with screw-on lids or food-grade, heavy-duty plastic containers with recycling symbols PETE and HDPE suitable for camping. Avoid milk jugs, they're made from biodegradable plastic and may leak. For more tips on building a safe, drinkable water supply, check out Oregon State University Extension's online guide: Survival Basics: Water.

IFPRI-AMIS Seminar Series | IFPRI Policy Seminar 2025 Outlook for Wheat, Maize, and Soybean Crops Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) May 13, 2025 Global grain and oilseed markets are facing great uncertainty as producers in the northern hemisphere complete their spring plantings. While some dryness has affected winter crop regions in both North America and Europe, sowing conditions remain favorable. Market participants are closely observing rapid policy developments related to tariffs and possible retaliatory measures. The changing trade landscape will also affect the overall macroeconomic environment, with impacts expected on energy prices, exchange rates, and growth prospects, and further implications for agricultural production and trade.

On this episode I sit down with Lisa Lindman, Executive Director of the Sutter Buttes Regional Land Trust, to discuss the nuances of conservation work within the landscapes of Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa counties. In line with the underlying theme of this podcast, we talk thru the land trust's work in a diverse agricultural and wildlife-rich region characterized by thriving rice fields that support migratory waterfowl, rolling oak woodlands and rangeland, as well as stunning views extending from the Central Valley to the Cascades; but with the unique addition of a significant military presence, via the Beale Air Force Base. Starting off we take a look Lisa's personal journey from a childhood in Santa Cruz to a land conservation leadership role in the Central Valley, building on her background in landscape architecture and restoration, as well as community involvement. But our primary focus is highlighting the land trust's recent success in completing the Magnolia Ranch conservation easement in 2024, a major undertaking to protect over 900 acres from development outside the City of Marysville, to the tune of almost $19 million. Standing out from other similar projects in the region, we talk about how the success of Magnolia Ranch relied on an unlikely partner, the United States Department of Defense through its Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration program, or REPI for short, which aims to prevent incompatible land uses near military bases via conservation. Lisa shares how the collaborative spirit of the project, between the land trust, the developer, and military personnel, ended up in a regional, multi-beneficial conservation win. The episode closes with a discussion on how this project has opened up channels of communication for future projects and aspirations, as well as the continuous, ongoing nature of conservation work.

White House Boys , Florida School For Boyshe Florida School for Boys, also known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (AGDS), was a reform school operated by the state of Florida in the panhandle town of Marianna from January 1, 1900, to June 30, 2011.[1][2] A second campus was opened in the town of Okeechobee in 1955. For a time, it was the largest juvenile reform institution in the United States.[3]Throughout its 111-year history, the school gained a reputation for abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and even murder of students by staff. Despite periodic investigations, changes of leadership, and promises to improve, the allegations of cruelty and abuse continued.After the school failed a state inspection in 2009, the governor ordered a full investigation. Many of the historic and recent allegations of abuse and violence were confirmed by separate investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010, and by the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice in 2011.[4] State authorities closed the school permanently in June 2011. At the time of its closure, it was a part of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.[5]Because of questions about the number of deaths at the school and a high number of unmarked graves, the state authorized a forensic anthropology survey by University of South Florida in 2012. They identified 55 burials on the grounds, most outside the cemetery, and documented nearly 100 deaths at the school. The state said it did not have authority to allow exhumation of graves, which would permit determination of cause of death and identification of remains. (In addition it wanted to sell land on the property.) A family member of a student who died at the school in 1934, and who wanted to reinter his remains, filed suit and gained an injunction against the state's moving ahead with the sale before remains could be exhumed and identified. The state responded to the court injunction and authorized more work by a multi-disciplinary team from the University of South Florida, including exhumations. In January 2016, the USF team issued its final report, having made seven DNA matches and 14 presumptive identifications of remains. They will continue to work on identification.After passage of resolutions by both houses of the legislature, on April 26, 2017, the state held a formal ceremony to apologize personally to two dozen survivors of the school and to families of other victims. In 2018, bills were being considered to provide some compensation to victims and their descendants, possibly as scholarships for children.In 2019, during preliminary survey work for a pollution clean-up, a further 27 suspected graves were identified by ground penetrating radar. Many people, including former detainees, believe that over 100 bodies were buried on the schools grounds, and that further investigating should be done until all the remains have been identified and cared for.

Public schools are essential for democracy—and they're under attack. But the very policies that are being championed as their salvation may have a catastrophic impact on American education for generations. Public education advocate and historian Diane Ravitch unpacks how school choice policies like vouchers and charter schools are dangerous for democracy. Diane Ravitch is a former assistant secretary in the United States Department of Education. She is the author of several books on the history and policy of American public schools. Her memoir, about her life as a leading public education reformer, will be published this fall. It's called An Education: How I Changed My Mind About Almost Everything. https://dianeravitch.net/

From the Heartland to High Places: How Two Cedarville Graduates Are Launching Their DreamsAs nearly two million students prepare to turn their tassels and step into the unknown, there are a few whose paths seem guided not just by their own hard work, but by something deeper — faith, community, and calling. Two such students are David Reid and Emily Wollschlager, proud members of the Cedarville University class of 2025.David Reid from Columbus, Ohio, always had a knack for problem-solving and a passion for service. It was no surprise to anyone who knew him when he declared his major in cyber operations. Nor was it a surprise when, before the ink had even dried on his diploma, he had already accepted a prestigious offer from the United States Department of Defense.Not far behind him, Emily Wollschlager from Fredericksburg, Maryland, charted her own trailblazing path. A computer science major with a keen eye for detail and a warm spirit, she's headed to Microsoft as a technology consultant, blending her love for coding with a heart for connecting people and purpose.But if you ask either of them what really prepared them for these roles, you won't hear buzzwords or corporate speak. You'll hear about Cedarville University.Their 1000 Days at Cedarville were filled with more than just lectures and late-night study sessions. They found mentors in their professors, lifelong friends in the residence halls, and an unshakable foundation in their faith. Small class sizes allowed them to be known, and the Christ-centered curriculum reminded them daily that their future was in God's hands.Though both are headed to the bustling metro areas around Washington, D.C., they carry with them the simple truths they learned in the quiet corners of campus: hard work honors God, integrity matters, and no dream is too big when it's built on the right foundation.So, while many graduates are still asking “what's next?”, David and Emily are already answering that question — with courage, character, and a whole lot of Cedarville heart.https://share.transistor.fm/s/f7e2103fhttps://youtu.be/2yX3xX6JY1k

Global influence, monetization power, and cultural reach. Are you one of the millions of Americans trying to crack the creator code?

Today's episode features our rich conversation with Dr. Corinne Mitsuye Sugino, Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Center for Ethnic Studies at The Ohio State University, about her compelling new book, Making the Human: Race, Allegory, and Asian Americans. On the show, Alex and Calvin are joined by guest co-host Dr. Sarah Hae-In Idzik to talk with Corinne about her multifaceted analyses of the role of Asian American racialization in the construction of the concept of the human. We delve into Corinne's concept of "racial allegory," which illuminates how media and institutional narratives mobilize categories of difference, including Asian Americans, to stabilize the idea of "Western man".Our discussion touches upon the significance of the title Making the Human, unpacking how Asian American racialization and gendering contribute to the social formulation of the human. We explore key concepts such as the understanding of "Western man" drawn from Black Studies scholarship, while also examining the crucial relationship that Corinne charts between anti-Asian racism and anti-Blackness within communication and rhetoric studies. Corinne also explains how she applies the notion of racial allegory to a case study on Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, revealing how anti-racist discourse can be used to uphold racial hierarchies, and the strategic role of the victimized Asian student trope in this context. Furthermore, we analyze Corinne's intercontextual reading of the film Crazy Rich Asians alongside Daniel Patrick Moynihan's “The Negro Family” report, exploring allegories of family and mothering and the underlying racial narratives at play. Our discussion also considers the significance of animacy and the inhuman in relation to the boundaries of the human, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the racialization of Asian Americans as potential disease carriers. Finally, we reflect upon Corinne's nuanced perspective on the term "Asian American" itself, considering its complexities and its potential as a resource for undoing categories and fostering coalition.Corinne Mitsuye Sugino's Making the Human: Race, Allegory, and Asian Americans is available now from Rutgers University Press.Works and Concepts Referenced in this Episode:Chen, M.

Palantir Technologies, CEO Alex Karp & the New Era of Tech Defense Contractors   - AZ TRT S06 EP05 (266) 3-9-2025                 What We Learned This Week Palantir - AI powered automation for every decision Palantir is named after the all seeing stone in Lord of the Rings Software integrates with company software to allow for searching and use of big data Palantir mission is for more accountability within Government Palantir has contracts with the U.S. Government helping with security and fighting terrorism   Notes: Palantir Technologies & CEO Alex Karp Karp background in academics and philosophy, also Stanford law  Palantir founders Karp & Joe Lonsdale worked together at PayPal, funded by Peter Thiel Was not profitable for 3 years - one of the secrets of Silicon Valley, build around an idea, work on how you're going to make money off of it later  Passion project, so need people who are dedicated, not just money driven Every text, email, business, it has all data and need to save somewhere Big data and data centers are one of the fastest growing industries and along with machine learning affect so many aspects of our life, both business, and personal Dataset and Data mining are thriving industries   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies Palantir Technologies Inc. is an American publicly traded company that specializes in software platforms[3] for big data analytics. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, it was founded by Peter Thiel,[4] Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale,[5] and Alex Karp in 2003. The company has four main projects: Palantir Gotham, Palantir Foundry, Palantir Apollo, and Palantir AIP. Palantir Gotham is an intelligence and defense tool used by militaries and counter-terrorism analysts. Its customers included the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) and United States Department of Defense.[6] Their software as a service (SaaS) is one of five offerings authorized for Mission Critical National Security Systems (IL5[7]) by the U.S. Department of Defense.[8][9] Palantir Foundry is used for data integration and analysis by corporate clients such as Morgan Stanley, Merck KGaA, Airbus, Wejo, Lilium, PG&E and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.[10] Palantir Apollo is a platform to facilitate continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) across all environments.[11][12] Palantir's original clients were federal agencies of the USIC. It has since expanded its customer base to serve both international as well as state and local governments, and also to private companies.[13]     Palantir software connects data, analytics, and operations to help organizations make decisions and improve efficiency. Palantir's software is used by government agencies and commercial enterprises.  How Palantir works 1.    Connects data: Palantir connects to data systems, data lakes, and platforms.  2.    Analyzes data: Palantir analyzes data to find trends, relationships, and anomalies.  3.    Visualizes data: Palantir visualizes data to help users understand insights.  4.    Automates processes: Palantir automates processes to help users save time and improve efficiency.  5.    Improves decision-making: Palantir helps users make better decisions by providing data-driven insights.    Palantir has multiple platforms, including: ·         Palantir Gotham: Used by government agencies to detect patterns and derive insights from large amounts of data  ·         Palantir Foundry: Used by commercial enterprises to integrate data, perform simulations, and optimize workflows  ·         Palantir AIP: Used to deploy large language models and other AI within a private network    Failure of 911 terrorist attacks where government organizations were not sharing information. Government has to be able to sift through large amounts of data, looking for a terrorist network, the old needle in a haystack. Software allows government to go thru data, and also share information. In the past governments could run spy networks only, now with computer hackers, it could be run by anybody with a computer. Hard to search for terrorist, very creative. In carps view, you have to think like an entrepreneur and be tactical when going after them.   Cannot think in a static fashion, how did they do it in the past. When a terrorist is caught using a cell phone, they adapt to figure out how do they get caught and then use a different method. It's like game theory, you have to think ahead of the terrorist and find their patterns before they even realize they are leaving pattern. Terrorist may think in different terms that society deems as destructive, but it still may be very creative, almost like an entrepreneur. Per carp, you need creative and adaptive thinkers to go after the bad guys.   Cyber war is a real threat and not going anywhere. Need the government to combat it, but also must watch what the government is doing to not trample on civil liberties. Need to be able to track the data to see how the government went about things and did its targeting. Data destruction & Tag data - Know where the data came from, so government can use it lawfully.   You do not want to share data with the government, and then have the government use it against you. Because of technology and computers spying is democracized, a group of three teenagers at a coffee shop can launch a cyber attack. Systems can track down where these terrorists are, and show you the patterns of who they might be even if they can identify them directly.   Government and large health insurance companies already have a lot of data. The question is, how are they using it, is it being used in a lawful way? With Palantir software, you cannot only look for the terrorist, but you can also watch how the government uses the data   Can use Palantir software on top of current software to work through data Palantir and SpaceX companies – achieved $ Billion dollar valuation Unicorn status  Funded at loss for years, took decade to get Govt contracts   Name comes from the seeing stone in Lord of the Rings Powerful technology, that can help watch over the world, has massive, ethical implications Software helps government and businesses look over data and watch on people, but can infringe on privacy - Paradox of security vs freedom Also raises questions about privacy, verse convenience, a kin to the issue with current social media  Solve terrorism problem in big way Fight terrorism on a large scale, verse just smaller tactics with airport security   Fight terrorism at the high-level, verse low level tech with airport security and other measures that are very cumbersome and overbearing Coordinate resources better Hard to start in defense company, and this is the next generation   Palantir is coming up with a simple high-tech solution, to handle a serious and complicated problem Pre-911, government not prepared or organized to handle global terrorist threat, and many of the solutions were over the top and heavy handed   Company provides targeted efficient reactions, verse broad wide solutions There is both philosophical and technological debate on how this software can and should be used They also believe they can be more transparent, show accountability, and actually prevent government overreach Check NSA and FISA courts if used, it is not Security and CIA type orgs need secrecy Palantir could track actions of these orgs for review   Large organization, bureaucracy, often have outdated technology, and reporting, so hard to do oversight, can be very confusing Often these organizations want plausible deniability, so they don't want their accounting to be reviewed, and will list expenditures under different things, this could be seen as fraud Technology is both disruptive and how it can go through data, but also disruptive that I can force accountability and bring stuff to light   Creative accounting and inefficiency could come to an end. This forces people to adapt and change their ways. Human nature is not always open to this. Belief by CEO, how important it is to choose the right partner in person and business You want to work with people who will challenge your ideas, so you have the discipline and rigor to think out and give evidence behind when while your idea is right, or at the very least not wrong   Scale to be plausibly right, and not wrong is very valuable in life  People must be resilient enough to challenge, even their own ideas. Company, culture, fosters, and environment, where people are open to think, challenge, status quo, but also must defend their thoughts. They foster independent thought, and not just one way thinking in the company Also ambition to work on bigger national projects   Future of defense contractors is in software, which they don't have a good history with. A lot of the best defense contractors make hardware. Palantir reviewed what the government was doing to fight terrorism, and how they were spending tens of billions of dollars on it. They were spending it in the wrong way, and the process needed to be rethought. Took years to get in with government. Building software for spies and intelligence industry. Has both commercial private clients and government client.   A few different products that help big organizations analyze their data using AI, and make the data more understandable. This can help a company in many ways, be more efficient, cut cost, raise profits, understand their own company better AI and data are the new languages of the modern world. There's a lot of data and it is critical to keep it organized, but very hard. Their software goes beyond just storing and managing data. It helps them to utilize the data which is key.   Silicon Valley tree - Paypal to Palantir to Anduril Anduril makes Roadrunner – takeoff software **company seems like Stark Industries Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

Back in 2011, I took my first business class in college. I had heard about this professor who had a really innovative way of teaching inside of the business school at ColumbiaAfter taking that class, I ended up having quite a few classes with him and he ended up becoming my Advisor for a little while. It was in 2012 during my junior where I took my first entrepreneurial class with him, created my first business plan and learned that Monopoly actually could be tied back to business (my family strongly dislikes playing with me now). Some of my favorite classes ever were taught by today's guest and I consider him my first mentor in the business world. The fact that we are sitting together now on my podcast over a decade later, it feels very surreal and I'm grateful. My guest today is Dr. Sean Siebert. Dr. Siebert's Bio:Dr. Sean Siebert's breadth of knowledge and experience, combined with his story-telling ability, make him a much-sought-after speaker, panelist, educator, and consultant.

At Fishtown Seafood, owner Bryan Szeliga is trying to navigate Trump's on-again, and off-again tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods. Szeliga, who operates three retail and wholesale locations in Philadelphia and Haddonfield, New Jersey, sells a range of seafood. He said a fair amount of shrimp comes from Mexico and briny, slurpable oysters are the biggest part of his overall business, with 60% to 70% coming from Canada. The Trump administration's on-again, off-again 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico—which went into effect on March 4, only to be suspended on some items for a month on March 6—are giving Szeliga whiplash. The flip-flopping is making it tough to plan ahead. And if the tariffs do eventually go into effect, he'll likely need to raise the prices of products and offer his customers fewer choices of oysters. Szeliga started Fishtown Seafood four years ago after other jobs in the food industry, including as a chef and working for a nonprofit. His customers include neighborhood locals and others who shop at his retail shops, as well as restaurant wholesale clients. On March 4, most of his suppliers told Szeliga they'd be raising prices. He made only one purchase while the tariff was in effect, buying some “sweet petite” oysters from Prince Edward Island to make sure a wholesale client had enough product. He paid the whole 25% markup himself and didn't pass it along to his client, eating the extra cost. The suppliers' price increases are likely to come down now that the tariffs are postponed, but only for a month. Now that he has a month's reprieve, Szeliga said he plans to adjust his own inventory and work with his wholesale clients to plan out a menu that will be less affected by the tariffs. That might mean replacing higher-priced, higher-quality oysters with domestic or lower-priced Canadian offerings. The total value of U.S. imported seafood in 2023 was $25.5 billion. Canada, as the largest supplier, delivered more than $3.6 billion in seafood products to the United States in 2023, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Special National Black Girl Month™ Series | Co-hosted by Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown You may not remember her reading parenting books, but she knew how to raise a household and keep a family intact. Big Mama didn't need a manual—she had instincts, routines, and an unshakable sense of responsibility. She didn't just take care of you; she taught you what it meant to show up, even when nobody showed up for her. She built structure out of very little and carried generations with her hands, her prayers, and her presence. But now, you're the one leading. And you're doing it with memories of how it used to be and a front-row seat to how much has changed. Or maybe, you're starting from what you know in your heart.  In this first episode of our National Black Girl Month™ series, I'm joined by Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown and our guest, Dr. Rosemarie Allen—an education leader and national voice on racial equity and childhood development. This conversation is about mothering without a blueprint and making daily decisions in a world that doesn't always feel safe for your child—or for you. You'll hear how Dr. Allen went from being suspended in kindergarten to shaping national education policy. You'll hear what happened when she had to teach her son to go limp during a chokehold—so he could come home alive. “Have I been whipping my baby for no reason?” A young mother asked that on a bus. Dr. Allen didn't shame her. She stayed. She answered. She mothered her. That child is now older. This conversation is parenting at the intersection of love and fear. Survival and pride. Freedom and danger. And it's the kind of conversation that millennial Black mothers aren't always given the space to have—but desperately need. It's about the systems that mislabel brilliance as defiance. What happens when Black children are expelled from daycare before they can talk? Where can you talk about the pressure of sending your child into schools that once failed you? “Historically, through slavery, we learned to beat our children into submission because they had to survive. But we've evolved from surviving to thriving. Our job now is to help our children thrive.” – Dr. Allen Whether you're raising toddlers or teenagers, or carrying the weight of mothering others through your work, this episode offers room to reflect, release, and reimagine. Because what's passed down shouldn't just be pain. It should be power. — Visit drrosemarieallen.com for more on her work.

Andrew Arthur is Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies. He began his legal career through the Attorney General's Honors Program as a clerk to an administrative law judge in the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer at the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review.This past Saturday, President Trump declared that through the month of February, his first full month in office, we saw the lowest number of illegal immigrants trying to enter the U.S. in history. Then there's also the quest to deport those already here illegally, with the primary focus on those who committed heinous crimes. Sadly, there are activists who have doxed ICE agents and revealed their whereabouts. Some within the media have also become involved by providing warning. Members of Congress have provided guidelines regarding what illegals should do if they are stopped by immigration officials. Then there are the states that are fighting the Trump administration in an effort to shield those who are breaking the laws of our nation. Review this broadcast and hear how President Trump has legally been able to get control of the border in ways other presidents chose not to, the effect of migrants on America's welfare/social programs, why you can be a Christian and believe in strong border control, what responsibilities our troops have on the border, the latest on fentanyl seizures and much more, including input from callers on this important issue.

The practice of growing plants in water rather than soil isn't new, though early examples are difficult to substantiate. In the 1930s, hydroponic plant culture made headlines, but the field also had conflict among researchers. Research: Bacon, Francis. “Sylva sylvarum; or, A natural history, in ten centuries.

On Monday, President Trump's personal lawyer and Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered prosecutors to drop federal corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Adams had been courting President Trump for weeks, including with a pre-inauguration visit to Mar A Lago, but the shape of the deal struck between the accused Mayor and the incoming administration came into clear view with a flurry of Department of Justice resignations on Thursday. On this week's episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick speaks to Harry Litman, a former U.S. attorney, and host and executive producer of the podcast Talking Feds. Harry explains why the so-called “Thursday Night Massacre” is not the kind of scandal even this administration can shrug off while yelling something about the “deep state” and “weaponization”. Next, Dahlia turns to the chaotic, destructive and dangerous “spontaneous disassembly” of much of the federal government currently taking place at the hands of Elon Musk with guest Sam Bagenstos, former general counsel of the United States Department of Health and Human Services until December 2024, also former general counsel for the Office of Management and Budget from January 2021 until June 2022. Now a professor at the University of Michigan, Sam explains what happens when the federal government stops working, and why persistently asking whether or not we're in a constitutional crisis is simply the wrong question.  Want more Amicus?
