Consider This from NPR

Despite promises the Iran war would be decided quickly and decisively, the fighting continues. Does the Trump administration have an exit strategy for Iran and is the US heading into another forever war?

After more than two months without an Iran war update, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the senate and asked for billions more to fund the war in Iran.

Hegseth is asking for $67 billion URGENTLY, and Senators – mostly democrats – had questions for Hegseth about the size of the request and the overall strategy of the war.

This episode was produced by Lauren Hodges, Gabriel Sanchez, Kadin Mills and Tyler Bartlam.

Hegseth asks for billions for the Iran war, is there an end game?

The crimes the Tate brothers are charged with are the foundation of a lucrative business believed to exploit women and young girls. We talk to a reporter who's dug into a similar investigation.

The Tates were arrested in Miami over the weekend after Crown Prosecutors issued 38 new criminal charges. 

This brings the total number of charges against the pair to 59, and and they include multiple counts of rape and sex trafficking. 

The brothers deny the charges against them. Andrew Tate is known for polarizing and misogynistic views.

This episode was produced by Mia Venkat and Chris Harland-Dunaway, with audio engineering by Tiffany Vera Castro, and additional reporting from Robbie Griffiths. It was edited by Justine Kenin.

The cases against Andrew and Tristan Tate

On Thursday, President Trump gave a primetime address in which he sowed doubts about the integrity of U.S. election.

He tried to convince Americans that the election system was vulnerable to fraud, but offered no new evidence that details any fraudulent votes.

Instead, he declassified intelligence documents that he says will demonstrate "shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure."

What's in these documents - and what do they tell us about how elections are run in the US?

The nation continues to react to the unexpected death of South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham was a veteran politician, a dealmaker and military hawk. He was also one of President Trump’s staunchest critics before his election, only to become one of Trump’s close allies on Capitol Hill after his victory.

Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake served alongside Graham from 2013-2019, and said he and Graham were "friends to the end," despite moments of tension and disagreement. Flake weighs in on what will be Sen. Graham's legacy.
