Listen "Two Things Can Be True"
Episode Synopsis
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of masterminding the 9/11 attacks, has agreed to a plea deal for a lifelong sentence. The Defense Department announced that Mohammed and two accomplices will plead guilty next week. Hamas' top political leader was killed in an airstrike in Iran, with Iran blaming Israel and threatening retaliation, heightening regional tensions. Donald Trump made racially charged remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris' heritage at a gathering of Black journalists, which drew criticism and allowed Harris to highlight the potential consequences of Trump's rhetoric. StubHub faces a lawsuit for allegedly misleading customers with hidden fees, potentially adding up to 40% to ticket prices. Meanwhile, USA Olympian Katie Ledecky won her 12th career medal and eighth gold in the 1,500-meter freestyle, tying the record for most medals by an American female swimmer.
