Hey, I'm Katie Campbell, host of Meet Me Here, KUOWW's Arts and Culture podcast. You've probably

heard you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Well, I disagree. On the latest episode, I talk to a

cover designer whose job it is to catch your attention. You'll hear about all the work that goes into

it. Plus, we'll critique the covers of

Emergency Economic Powers Act and says the new one's legal under a 1974 law about temporary taxes.

Also in D.C., a farewell to Nome. Members of Washington State's congressional delegation are

Republican Congressman Dan Newhouse wrote on social media, a change of leadership was long overdue.

He added that he looks forward to working with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, whose President Trump's

pick to replace Noem. Democratic representative, Susan Del Benet,

said it was long past time that Nome was fired, noting that Americans were killed by federal

immigration agents, and Congress member Pramilla Jayaeppal said, good riddance.
