With the government threatening to shut down, a new 21-point plan on rehabilitating the Gaza Strip being batted around, and Mississippi’s fourth-grade readers moving to the head of the class, our Editors panelists have plenty to discuss.

Join Rich, Charlie, Noah, and Audrey as they talk about the aims of Democrats and Republicans, as each party waits to pin a shutdown on the other. Noah is also skeptical of President Trump’s plan for the Gaza Strip, but points to a few elements that do look promising. And all our editors take another look at Mississippi, once the butt of many jokes, now putting California to shame with its progress in literacy.

The Editors podcast is recorded on Tuesdays and Fridays every week and is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
