This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and guest host <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/column/jamelle-bouie">Jamelle Bouie</a> discuss the perils of this week’s Trump-plus-Putin (minus Zelensky) summit in Alaska, how Trump’s claimed crime “emergency” provided pretext for National Guard deployment and takeover of D.C. police, and a new presidential memorandum requiring colleges to share admissions data to “verify” that they are not considering race.

 For this week’s Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and guest host <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/column/jamelle-bouie">Jamelle Bouie</a> discuss when and, perhaps more importantly, when not to give advice.
