What to know about RFK Jr.’s plan to research autism

About this episode

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making research into autism one of his major initiatives. NBC’s Brandy Zadrozny explains how he’s reinvigorated the anti-vaccine movement in the process.

The Los Angeles Times looks at how several Democratic governors, including California’s Gavin Newsom, are responding to and contending with the Trump administration.

NPR explains how government bureaucracy has disrupted the reintegration of former Marine Paul Whelan, who was released from Russia last year in a prisoner swap coordinated by the Biden administration. 

Plus, a judge says there is probable cause to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt, the Federal Reserve chief addresses tariffs, and how Paris dramatically improved its air quality.

Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.
