Congress may have ended the shutdown (finally), but it’s still entangled in a power struggle with the Executive Branch. Kai Ryssdal has thoughts. On the show today, Kai and Kimberly get into what comes next in the shutdown’s wake, how the Trump administration’s tariff arguments went over at the Supreme Court and what the sliding balance of power in the federal government has to do with the health of the U.S. economy.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• "Court appears dubious of Trump’s tariffs" from SCOTUSblog
• "Trump floats $2,000 tariff rebate checks: Here's what you need to know" from CNBC
• "Trump claims tariff loss would force $3 trillion ‘unwind'" from Axios
• "If SCOTUS strikes down President Trump's current tariffs, he has plenty of other options" from Marketplace
• "How Congress Gave Up Its Own Power" from Time
• "Senate sinks measure to block military action against Venezuela" from Politico
