washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/trumps-battles-with-data-dc-and-world-trade/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

In the past week, President Donald Trump has imposed sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries – and made moves to suppress signs of a weakening economy. Today on the politics roundtable, host Colby Itkowitz speaks with White House reporter Emily Davies and senior national political correspondent Naftali Bendavid about how Trump’s recent economic moves are playing politically. They also cover his recent threats to take federal control of D.C., and the latest on how the Justice Department is pursuing investigations into Trump’s perceived political enemies.

Today’s show was produced by Arjun Singh. It was edited by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Sean Carter.

How To Put Down Your Phone And Read A Book

How To Put Down Your Phone And Read A Book

Welcome to Ask The Book Doctor, a recurring series about books and reading them.

The beautiful shiny phone is killing us. We all know it, but there it is. We want it. It is made to keep us captivated. We are moths to its flame. Often, when I am around people I love, and one of us is looking at our phone, the other will say "What's happening on your phone?" This is embarrassing. It is so rare that anything is happening on the phone. About 99 percent of the time, the other person says "nothing," and puts their phone down. I see this in people in every generation. No one is immune.
