P.M. Edition for Aug. 29. This week, Microsoft became the latest company to crack down on political dissent among its employees. We hear from WSJ reporter Lindsay Ellis on why corporate leaders are adopting a new, harder-line playbook for dealing with political debate at work. Plus, the Trump administration said it’s using an untested strategy to rescind about $5 billion in foreign aid without congressional approval. Journal congressional reporter Siobhan Hughes discusses the backlash on the Hill and what’s at stake. And Kraft Heinz nears a breakup, a move that would undo an infamous 2015 merger. Alex Ossola hosts.
