It's Monday, April 21st.
I'm Erin Ryan in for Jane Costa, and this is What A Day,
the show that hopes you had a lovely weekend protesting,
attending religious services, getting higher than Maureen Dowd on Colorado Edibles,
or ideally, a combination of all three things.
On today's show,
the Supreme Court issues an emergency decision blocking more flights of alleged Venezuelan gang members to an El Salvador Superprison.
And Vice President J.D.
Vance gets a lecture on Catholicism from the Vatican,
and an audience with his friend and me, the Pope.
Did he even say thank you, Holy Father, once?
It was a good weekend for events that have nothing to do with the news.
Sometimes you just have to zone out and eat an entire chocolate bunny
while watching your nieces and nephews fight over plastic eggs.
And for music fans and influencers, it was the second weekend of Coachella.
But if tuning out doesn't seem like the move,
it was also a good weekend to make some noise about the unraveling of the American experiment.
President Donald Trump still hasn't hit the 100-day mark of his presidency.
But it feels like we're hitting some kind of inflection point.
Maybe just the first of many to come.
