                • Inside the Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

                  For the past decade, the Supreme Court has relied on a rushed and secretive system to make major rulings on issues from immigration to the presidential power.

                  Now, a New York Times investigation brings to light the precise moment when that system began.

                  Jodi Kantor and Adam Liptak, who reported the story, take us inside the five days that remade the Supreme Court.

                  Guest:

                    • Dating on the Spectrum

                      The reality show “Love on the Spectrum” — which just released its fourth season — has become a big hit; it’s currently one of the most watched shows on Netflix in the United States. The show follows autistic adults as they search for love.

                      “Love on the Spectrum” is unlike much of reality television — a genre known to subject its cast members to drama and humiliation for entertainment’s sake. Instead, the show captures a dating world that has more heartwarming moments than histrionics, and is sensitive and nuanced in its portrayal of neurodivergent people.

                      On today’s episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Rachel Abrams talks with Anna Peele, a contributing writer for The New York Times, about the show’s origin story and why it has resonated with so many people.

                      On Today’s Episode:

                      Anna Peele is a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine and the author of the forthcoming book “Enter the Villa,” about the reality show “Love Island.”

                        Warning: This episode discusses suicide.

                        This week, Congress was on the cusp of doing something that has never happened in U.S. history: forcibly removing four House members. Two of those members resigned.

                        Michael Gold, who covers Congress, explains what unfolded on Capitol Hill, and what the events tell us about how willing Congress is to hold itself accountable.

                        Guest: Michael Gold, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.

                        Background reading:

                          This week, an unusual disagreement broke out between the president of the United States and Pope Leo XIV.

                          The New York Times Rome bureau chief, Motoko Rich, explains why President Trump cares so much about what the pope thinks, and why it matters that they are so deeply at odds.

                          Guest: Motoko Rich, the Rome bureau chief leading coverage of Italy, the Vatican and Greece for The New York Times.

                          Background reading: 

                          • President Trump lashed out on Sunday night at Pope Leo XIV, who responded hours later by saying he would continue to oppose war.
                          • The Times’s Rome bureau chief is still getting a feel for a pontiff who is willing to challenge President Trump and use his sense of humor.
