1) Fawzia Afzal-Khan, visiting professor in gender and sexuality studies, Princeton University, discusses her recent article, "Student and Faculty Repression on US Campuses: the Palestine Exception," relating to the reported 600 international students who have had their visas revoked by the Trump State Dept., and the preliminary ruling by a judge in Louisiana that the Trump regime can proceed with its deportation of Palestinian Columbia University graduate student, and Green Card holder Mahmoud Khalil.

2) Micah Sifry, is a writer, editor and organizer with nearly forty years of experience covering politics, technology and international affairs, who is currently working on a novel and writing a weekly newsletter on democracy, movements, organizing and tech called The Connector. Micah will discuss his recent New York Times article, "A Different Kind of Anti-Trump Resistance is Brewing," and issues related to Trump/Musk's mass firing of tens of thousands of federal government workers.

3) Lindsay Koshgarian, Program Director of the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies talks about her group's latest annual analysis, the 2025 Tax Day Receipt, highlighting exactly where Americans' 2024 income taxes went and what those numbers say about our national spending priorities. Overall, in 2024, the average taxpayer contributed $3,707 per person for weapons and war – the equivalent of the price of 628 dozen eggs – including war and the Pentagon, weapons contractors, and aid to foreign militaries.

4) Jeff Hauser, Executive Director of the Revolving Door Project discusses growing concern that people in Trump's inner circle may have had knowledge of his changing tariff policy, allowing for insider trading -- combined with the fact the SEC is dismantling a key tool in collecting trading data, the Consolidated Audit Trail, that impairs regulators’ ability to understand suspicious activity.
