This week, The Daily examined how power operates across American institutions: the Trump administration's rollback of environmental protections, its confrontation with the press, and broader questions about oversight in an age of rapid technological change. From the fate of endangered species to safeguards for artificial intelligence, the episodes traced a common thread about who gets to decide what risks society accepts and who bears the consequences. The week also pivoted toward the personal, exploring how health surveillance enters intimate spaces like nurseries, how cultural institutions like the Kennedy Center navigate uncertainty, and how public figures reckon with their private struggles.
