Introducing ... The Ryssdal Window


Listen Later

The Overton Window is a concept that helps explain how the range of policies considered politically acceptable shifts over time. But have you heard of the “Ryssdal Window"? We’ll explain how it relates to what’s happening in the markets right now as president Trump hints at a possible change of heart on China tariffs. Plus, the FDA suspended a milk quality testing program. With less federal oversight, can private industries regulate themselves? And, the physics behind a great cup of coffee.


Here’s everything we talked about today:


"White House Considers Slashing China Tariffs to De-Escalate Trade War" from The Wall Street Journal


"FDA milk quality testing program suspended after job cuts" from The Hill


"‘Crazy’: Forest Service cuts ignite fear, fury over wildfire risks" from Politico


"The Physics of Perfect Pour-Over Coffee" from The New York Times


"Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon" from CBS News
