Oops, We Texted a War Plan to the Press (with Ruth Marcus)

What is a journalist to do when senior White House officials accidentally send them imminent war plans? That’s just one of the surreal current events Ruth Marcus unpacks in this week’s episode. The former Washington Post columnist and editor recently stepped down after nearly four decades at the paper, making headlines with her high-profile resignation. She joins Preet to discuss the chaos unfolding inside the Trump administration—from the mood inside DOJ to the president’s escalating assault on the judiciary. Marcus also shares her insights on knowing when it’s time to walk away from a job you’ve loved.
