From late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel's suspension to an unprecedented Pentagon memo - where is the line between criticism and censorship? On this episode, Caitríona Perry, Courtney Subramanian, and Sumi Somaskanda analyze how the Trump administration is taking on its critics and tries to control the narratives in the media. Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power.

  • Hi there, I'm Sumi Somoskando.

  • Welcome to the President's Path here on The Explanation Feed.

  • Please follow and subscribe.

  • Of course, here on The President's Path every week,

  • we walk back along the latest actions of President Trump and his administration.

  • Today, I'm joined by my colleagues Katrina Parry and Courtney Supermoney.

  • Hi guys, how are you?

  • Hi, Katrina.

  • I think this is my first time ever to do this podcast in the rain.

  • In my raincoat.

  • You know what's funny is last year I did the podcast in that exact position and it was also raining.

  • It's something that the UN General Assembly has against our podcast, I swear.

  • Yeah.

  • You know what?

  • It's been beautiful the last few days, but just today the heavens have opened,

  • as we'd say, and it's raining a lot.

  • So I'm here in my like fisherman rain jacket.

  • huddled under an umbrella,

  • hoping that a refrain stays off my equipment here to get to the end of the podcast without it all frying.

  • But yeah, here we are.
