As drought conditions spread across much of the United States, we examine whether the rapid expansion of data centers is adding pressure to already strained water resources.

Rather than assigning blame, this episode asks whether enough planning and oversight are in place to balance technological growth with the long-term water needs of the people who live there.

As Americans prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, this episode looks beyond the fireworks and traditions to explore the deeper meaning of Independence Day.

Jean Carroll appeals, mail-in ballot rulings, and the Court's decision regarding independent federal agencies.
