On today’s show: Aviation-safety reporter Darryl Campbell from The Verge explains why air travel remains safe, despite a recent string of crashes and near misses. NBC News’s Lawrence Hurley talks about how a “reverse discrimination” case made its way to the Supreme Court and why the justices might rule unanimously on it. Three men who were recently detained by the Trump administration at a high-security military prison in Guantánamo Bay told Washington Post reporter Silvia Foster-Frau that they were denied calls to loved ones, subjected to humiliating searches, and left in isolation for prolonged periods. Foster-Frau gives us the details. Plus, the Supreme Court halts a midnight deadline for the Trump administration to release certain foreign-aid funds, a child in Texas is the first confirmed death amid the state’s measles outbreak, and the U.S. wants to import more eggs to fight high prices and bird flu. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
