An Independence Day tradition from the NPR Politics Podcast

This weekend, the United States marks its 250th birthday, and what Congress intended to be a nonpartisan, patriotic celebration has instead become — like seemingly everything else — partisan. We discuss how the event became fraught with politics and a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll showing that American pride is also deeply divided along partisan lines. Plus, a special Thursday edition of Can't Let It Go.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith.

Is America's 250th birthday celebration too partisan?

Colorado Democrats brought an anti-incumbency streak to their primaries this week. In Colorado's 1st congressional district, 29-year-old Melat Kiros, a democratic socialist, unseated 30-year incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette. In another upset, Sen. Michael Bennet lost his bid to win the nomination for governor. We discuss the anti-incumbent mood shaping this election season and take a look at one of the few toss-up House races in the country.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, and Colorado Public Radio public affairs reporter Bente Birkeland.

Gen Z democratic socialist ousts 30-year incumbent in Colorado

The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed that virtually all babies born in the United States are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status. The ruling — the last one of the court's term — invalidates an executive order President Trump signed on the first day of his second term in office. We discuss whether this closes the book on Trump's effort to reverse this long-held principle, plus Supreme Court rulings related to transgender athletes and campaign finance laws.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, Supreme Court and justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship

The Supreme Court issued rulings in a few major cases Monday, and the results were a mixed bag for President Trump. We discuss how the court expanded the president's power to fire the leaders of independent federal agencies but did not restrict mail-in ballots as Trump wanted.

Trump's week in the courts – big wins and big losses

Congress overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan bill aimed at lowering the cost of buying a home, and President Trump was set to sign it Wednesday. But then Trump announced he won't sign the bill until Congress passes a strict voter ID law. We discuss what to make of Trump's apparent reversal and how it affects Republicans' efforts at retaining control of Congress this November.
