TODAY IN CONTEXT BONUS EPISODE: President Trump's recent call for federal intervention in Chicago sparked widespread backlash... Today's Bonus episode traces this moment through U.S. history, from the Pullman Strike of 1894 and federal troop deployments in the Gilded Age, through urban unrest in the 1960s and 1990s, showing a recurring pattern of presidents stepping into city crises amid sensationalized media coverage. By examining these precedents, from Cleveland to Johnson, Nixon, and Bush, the episode points to how federal involvement in American cities has long provoked political tension, social consequences, and lasting debates over law, order, and civil rights.
