We peel back the onion on media reporting a little -- how do journalists balance breaking news for their outlets vs saving a story for a book? Then how do Jonathan and Alex see what's going on with the GOP today? Will this moment pass? How does the world view our democracy and how close to the edge are we? And what's a conversation that they had reporting the book that you might not have heard yet?

Today on Post Reports, an estimated 1.5 million retirees have reentered the U.S. labor market over the past year. What’s bringing them back?

Millions of Americans who retired during the pandemic are returning to the workforce.
Many are being lured back to work by more flexible, hybrid work arrangements and declining concerns over covid. And, yes, some of it is also being driven by high inflation. But there’s good news, too: Ageism might be less of a problem for older workers. Companies are scrambling to find experienced, reliable people to fill all these open jobs. And suddenly, the AARP set is looking pretty good.
Great conversation on Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People with Frederick Joseph, philanthropist, activist, and New York Times best-selling author. In this episode, you’ll see how little Guy knows about current black culture, but at least he knows what he doesn't know. And he's willing to learn.
Frederick Joseph created the largest GoFundMe campaign in history called the #BlackPantherChallenge. It raised over $950K, and allowed more than 75,000 children worldwide to see 'Black Panther’ for free.
Frederick was a national surrogate for the Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders presidential campaigns and was selected for the Forbes Under 30 List in 2019.
Fred is the New York Times bestselling author of The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person, and his new book, PATRIARCHY BLUES: Reflections on Manhood. The Black Friend is fantastic.

Finland and Sweden’s leaders announced in recent days that they would be seeking membership in NATO, the military alliance among the United States, Canada and many European countries. Sweden and Finland historically have remained neutral to avoid conflict — but the war in Ukraine and their geographical proximity to Russia pushed them to reassess. National security reporter Shane Harris discusses how this move changes the security landscape and the possible consequences if Russia loses the war.

Read more:
The 2022 midterms are ramping up. On Tuesday, voters in five states, including Pennsylvania and North Carolina, will vote in primary elections.

Check out The Washington Post’s guide to the 2022 midterm elections.
