Two big wins and one big loss for President Trump as the U.S. Supreme Court handed down some major rulings on the last day of its term. The President's attempt to gut birthright citizenship for millions in America was struck down in a 6-3 vote, invalidating an executive order Trump signed on his first day in office. The court upheld transgender sports bans, allowing states to bar transgender women and girls from playing on female sports teams, and the justices also lifted a Watergate-era cap on campaign spending. David J. Bier, Director of Immigration Studies at the Cato Institute, and Natasha Sarin, a professor at Yale Law School, join Bianna Golodryga to discuss.

Dozens of Ukrainian drones swarmed Russia's capital overnight, reportedly striking one of the country's largest satellite centers. As Kyiv ramps up its campaign to drain the Kremlin's war economy, the targeting of key energy infrastructure has caused fuel shortages, long queues at gas stations, and power outages, as well as throwing Russian-occupied Crimea into a state of emergency. Yaroslav Trofimov, chief foreign-affairs correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, joins the show.
Carlos Barragán
Author, “The Yahoo Boys”
Last year Americans lost nearly $1 billion to a type of online scam that preys on increasing numbers of Westerners suffering from loneliness. Scammers craft fake online profiles and foster fake relationships with their victims to extract thousands of dollars. In his new book “The Yahoo Boys,” journalist and author Carlos Barragán travels to Nigeria to understand the lives and motives of the teen boys and young men behind some of these scams. Barragán sits down with Hari Sreenivasan to explain what he learned, and what the widespread nature of these scams tells us about the state of our connection to one another.
