The Latest on Columbia University; NPR and PBS in the Hot Seat; Elie Mystal's List of Laws that Need to Go

Coming up on today's show:

Columbia University agreed to the Trump administration's demands in order to restore $400 million dollars in federal funds, leading some faculty members to protest, and take legal action. David Graham, staff writer at The Atlantic and an author of The Atlantic daily newsletter, plus author of the forthcoming book The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America (Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2025), reports on the latest in the school's relationship with the administration, and what it might mean for academic freedom at schools across the country.
The leaders of PBS and NPR went before a House subcommittee led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to defend their networks against charges of liberal bias. Bill Grueskin, professor at Columbia Journalism School and a former senior editor at The Wall Street Journal and Miami Herald, offers analysis of the testy hearing.
Elie Mystal, justice correspondent and columnist for The Nation magazine and host of the podcast, "Contempt of Court with Elie Mystal," and author of Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America (The New Press, 2025), talks about the 10 laws he calls a "Bill of Wrongs" -- like felony murder and immunity for gun manufacturers.
