Summary

This week has been… a lot. On Thursday, Israel’s cabinet approved the first phase of a peace agreement between Hamas and Israel, which would end the fighting in Gaza and return all Israeli hostages, living and dead. But the news didn’t stop there – with President Donald Trump threatening National Guard deployments in both Chicago and Portland, and both cities responding by heading to court. And don’t forget, we’re in the second week of a government shutdown with no end in sight. To unpack it all, we spoke to Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor.

And in headlines, a federal judge temporarily blocks the President’s National Guard deployment in Chicago, the CDC quietly updates its COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for pregnant women, and trick-or-treaters this year might find their bags less full of chocolate and more full of gum.

gum. But let's start with, well, actually, it's hard to know where to start, because this week

has been a lot. First, there's the Trump administration brokered ceasefire and the war in Gaza. On Thursday,

Israel's cabinet approved the first phase of an agreement between Hamas and Israel. This phase would

center on an end to the fighting in Gaza and the return of all Israeli hostages living and dead.

1:25.3

And the reaction in both central Israel and in Gaza appeared to be one

of jubilance and relief. Here's the town of Khan Yunus in Gaza. But this is just the first step

in a long process, one with plenty of potential roadblocks.

The news didn't stop there, with Trump-threatening National Guard deployments in both Chicago and Portland
