The first US measles death in a decade, mass protests against Trump and El Salvador’s mega-jail…

In today’s Q&A Anthony, Justin and Mariana sign the podcasting equivalent of an executive order, putting a one-episode exemption on tariffs to focus on the other stories that may have fallen on the backburner since Trump shook up the world’s financial markets.

The team discuss the biggest protests of Trump’s second term so far, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s controversial social media video featuring Venezuelan deportees, and the danger of vaccine misinformation following a measles outbreak that’s led to the deaths of two children.

And the US Senate and Congress seem to have gone quiet - what’s going on?
