Ed Larson on ICE’s Slippery Slope

Ed Larson on ICE’s Slippery Slope

Author: Last Podcast Network February 19, 2026 Duration: 58:51
This week Ed Larson joins Travis to talk ICE- it’s history, how it’s (de)volved under Trump, and what happens next. They also talk Rubio’s failed attempt to play good cop in Europe, Congress giving Trump a rare hand slap on tariffs, and JD standing by his statement acknowledging the Armenian genocide despite criticism from the right– oh, wait, that didn’t happen.

The Foreign Report from Last Podcast Network dives into the wildest corners of global politics with sharp analysis and pitch-black humor. Each week, producer, comedian, and lawyer Seena Ghaznavi teams up with a rotating crew of journalists, experts, and policy nerds to unpack the stories shaping our world, from power struggles and propaganda wars to strange moments of competitive authoritarianism and beyond. Expect smart, irreverent commentary that cuts through official narratives, explains why today’s headlines actually matter, and still finds room to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Whether you obsess over international news or just want someone to translate the chaos into something you can argue about with friends, this podcast has you covered. Hit play, listen episodes that challenge your assumptions, and stay just informed enough to worry productively.
