For years, recycling was treated as an unquestioned good—just sort your plastics and you’re helping the planet. But what if we all stopped recycling tomorrow?

Behind the blue bins is a global network of sorting facilities and landfills, where much of what people recycle is never actually reused. What looks like environmental responsibility is, in many cases, something far more convoluted.

On this episode of Morning Wire, investigative journalist Ken LaCorte explains how plastic recycling really works and why its effectiveness may be far lower than advertised. Get...

For decades, artificial intelligence was dismissed as science fiction. Then one lab changed everything.
Inside a small London research company, scientists were teaching machines to play games, predict protein structures, and solve problems humans couldn’t. What started as an obscure AI experiment soon became the center of a global race for superintelligence — with enormous consequences for medicine, warfare, scientific discovery, and the future of human intelligence itself.
On this episode of Morning Wire, journalist Sebastian Mallaby explains how DeepMind helped launch the modern AI revolution and why its founder Demis Hassabis believes artificial intelligence could push beyo...

When Americans think about Chinese espionage, they usually picture spy balloons, cyberattacks, or stolen military secrets. But some of the most concerning operations may be happening much closer to home.

Federal investigators have uncovered secret police stations, influence campaigns targeting local politicians, surveillance of dissidents, and networks tied to everything from intellectual property theft to fentanyl trafficking.

Investigative author Peter Schweizer says these are not isolated incidents. They’re part of a much broader strategy—one aimed at gaining influence, stealing technology, and weakening America without firing a shot. Get the facts first with...

But behind many of them was a massive flow of Medicaid money — part of a growing network of home healthcare companies accused of exploiting loopholes in the system and billing taxpayers for questionable services on a staggering scale.
On this introductory episode of Behind The Story, investigative reporter Luke Rosiak explains how he used government data, computer coding, and old-fashioned reporting to uncover a billion-dollar fraud scheme hiding in plain sight.
