Summary
Michael Kosta reports on the highs and lows of yesterday’s primaries, the Supreme Court’s ruling that makes it easier for politicians to accept bribes as “tips,” and AI’s effect on the music industry as record labels scramble to protect their artists from fake tunes. Plus, a helium-leaking spaceship from Boeing has left two astronauts stranded, and Ronny Chieng joins with updates from the ISS. Then, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog sits down with a group of undecided voters and tries a handful of tactics to get them to make up their damn minds, from sandwich comparisons to Cheesecake Factory metaphors. And ProPublica reporter Sharon Lerner sits down to discuss her latest piece in collaboration with The New Yorker on 3M’s use and concealment of forever chemicals.
