Nicholas Kristof: Gratuitous Cruelty

The Bulwark Podcast features two segments: an interview with New York Times columnist Nick Kristof, discussing his reporting on the impact of USAID cuts in Africa and a conversation with Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin about her economic war plan for the Democratic Party. Kristof shares harrowing stories from South Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, detailing how the cuts have led to unnecessary deaths and suffering, while Slotkin critiques the Democratic Party's economic messaging and advocates for bolder policies to address pocketbook issues and hold social media companies accountable.
