Coming up on today's show:

• On Friday, President Biden announced Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his selection to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Olatunde Johnson, faculty director for the Center for Constitutional Governance and the Jerome B. Sherman professor of law at Columbia Law School, offers a biography of Judge Jackson, what challenges she may face during her confirmation process and how she might vote for upcoming Supreme Court cases.
• Garry Kasparov, chairman of the Human Rights Foundation and Renew Democracy Initiative and author of Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped (PublicAffairs, 2015), joins with the latest updates on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
• Andrew Gounardes, New York State senator (D, District 22), discusses a new statewide bill intended to protect contract and freelance workers from wage theft and ensure timely pay. Plus, Ilana Kaplan, freelance writer talks about her negative experience working freelance for L’Officiel Magazine, which led to the city's first lawsuit against an employer since the city passed its own version of the bill in 2017.
• Over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a nuclear alert -- and the US chose not to respond in kind. Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many books, including The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War (Simon & Schuster, 2020), talks about Russia's nuclear arsenal, and why Biden responded as he did. Plus, why does it seem like Russia is so far not succeeding in combat?
