Amid fears of deportation and anti-immigrant sentiment, we hear about the immigrant dairy workers in Wisconsin that are choosing to leave the country. This year marks the 45th anniversary of the Watergate break-in and subsequent investigation. We look back at the scandal at a time when many are comparing it to the current probe into the Trump campaign’s possible connections to Russian election interference. Also, we hear about new research revealing how much pollution is generated by air conditioning.
