The Trump administration is deploying federal troops into Chicago, claiming ongoing lawlessness. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker described the move as “outrageous and un-American.” Violet Miller, a reporter at the Chicago Sun-Times, explains what’s going on. A new Supreme Court term begins today, and justices are set to decide on cases with massive implications for Trump’s authority over government. Maureen Groppe, Supreme Court reporter at USA Today, discusses them. The government shutdown continues with no signs of progress on talks. Lauren Weber at the Washington Post talks through some of the Medicare provisions that have become casualties of the deadlock. Plus, mediators are gathering after Hamas agreed in principle to parts of Trump’s peace deal, Japan is set for its first woman prime minister, and how sketches by Leonardo da Vinci led archaeologists to a big discovery. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
