About this episode
The Pentagon says two Russian fighter jets hit an American surveillance drone over the Black Sea, forcing it to crash into international water. It’s the first known instance of the two countries making contact since the invasion of Ukraine, which U.S. officials warned could lead to a dangerous escalation. North Carolina’s state Supreme Court is rehearing a gerrymandering case that could have major impacts on future elections. The court’s new Republican majority seems ready to reverse an earlier decision that rejected state voting maps that heavily favored GOP candidates. And in headlines: the Justice Department and the SEC have reportedly launched investigations into the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Ohio’s Attorney General sued Norfolk Southern Railway over the East Palestine derailment, and an eleventh atmospheric river storm system hit California.
