U.S. Politics! Pentagon scandals, ICE targets Somalis
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Today, we bring you a wrap on U.S. politics. We begin with two scandals plaguing U.S. defense secretary Pete Hegseth, from allegations of war crimes to a scathing report accusing him of mishandling classified military intelligence.
And we cover the fallout from President Donald Trump’s tirade against Somali immigrants, including a surge of ICE raids in Minneapolis. Plus, the politics behind Trump’s win of the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.
Our guest is Alex Shephard, senior editor of The New Republic.
