In Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could, Congressman Adam Schiff, who led President Trump's first impeachment, delivers a vital inside account of American democracy's darkest hour. Schiff argues the greatest threat comes from within, as Trump's presidency weakened institutions and fueled the dangerous appeal of authoritarianism, a peril he tracks through his own political journey.

Schiff discussed these insights and warned of authoritarianism's lasting potency during an October 14, 2021 event, in conversation with Marisa Lagos, KQED (@mlagos).

Jeff Corwin joins conservationists in California to protect pinnipeds, including elephant seals and sea lions. Organizations like the Marine Mammal Care Center and Defenders of Wildlife are crucial in rescuing and rehabilitating these animals, which face severe threats from climate change, overfishing, habitat loss, and plastic pollution.

Corwin assists Dr. Lauren Palmer and Andy Johnson in rehabilitating four malnourished California sea lion pups, one of whom ingested plastic. After critical care, tagging, and weighing, the pups are successfully released back into the wild. This effort underscores the vital role of conservation in giving endangered animals a second chance and addressing environmental challenges for ecosystem health.
