Hey, it's A. Martinez.
Even as the host of a new show, it can be hard to keep up with the headlines.
That is why we make the Up First Podcast.

we cover three major stories with context and analysis from reporters around the world so you can catch up on what's going on
while getting ready,
making desayunno, or going to work.
So listen to the Up First Podcast from NPR.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear.
A federal judge in Washington now says he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt,
the ruling today in connection with the violation of his orders last month that planes carrying Venezuelan deportees to a prison in El Salvador turn around.
Emperor Zadrin Floreto says U.S. District Judge James Boseburg is warning of potential prosecutions,
though whether today's order changes, that's unclear.
Well,
members of the Trump administration have said they're not going to let courts get in their way of carrying out the president's priorities.
And today is the first time a judge has clearly said they will be punished for not obeying courts.
If they still refuse,
that is where legal experts say
that we will have a full-blown constitutional crisis where the balance of powers between the executive and judicial branches may not hold.
Trump administration meanwhile said today it will appeal.
