Congressional War Powers, ICE Tactics, and Ukraine Update

War powers resolution dies in Senate, immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, and Anne Applebaum on the war in Ukraine.

Last week, a war powers resolution that would require congressional approval for military action in Venezuela died on the Senate floor after Vice President Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in cases regarding trans athletes participating in women’s sports. And, ICE continues controversial immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and Mike sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist Anne Applebaum as she shares an analysis on Russia’s war in Ukraine.
