NPR All Things Considered's Scott Detrow and I had a thought-provoking discussion on What happens when democracies use military force to occupy their own territory You can listen here: www.npr.org/2025/09/07/n...

I had the chance to talk with @scottdetrow.bsky.social for “All Things Considered” about my belief that an important line was crossed in America this month: www.npr.org/2025/08/30/n...

Mark Knoller was a legendary White House correspondent. www.washingtonian.com/2013/01/08/w...

Mark Knoller truly was a legend, a White House correspondent I was very lucky to work alongside. Even long after he retired, Mark would pull up his word doc of presidential statistics when I needed help for a story. He is going to be so sorely missed. www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kn...

RIP Mark Knoller, the longtime @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy White House reporter who made himself into a one-man archive of all presidential facts and statistics. He was a prince of the briefing room, ever generous to colleagues and competitors alike. He was the best. www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kn...

Some news! Heading over to the weekdays on All Things Considered. A lot of news to cover, and excited to get going. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Can anyone recommend a good podcast for Spanish beginners? Trying to spend more time listening to the language ahead of a trip!

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Last July, when President Trump was shot at, NPR launched into live special coverage. We covered the news urgently, carefully, and fairly, as we always try our best to do. I am proud to say our coverage has been recognized with a national Murrow Award! www.rtdna.org/2025-nationa...

SCOOP: After President Trump’s call for a “new” census, his cabinet official overseeing the national head count — Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — acknowledged to Census Bureau employees that Congress, not Trump, has final say over the tally, @npr.org has learned

Hall of Fame 🌈 action in Chicago this evening

Rewriting history: Smithsonian removes Trump, the only president impeached twice, from its exhibit about impeachment. "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal," the exhibit now says referring to Johnson, Nixon and Clinton @janaykingsberry.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Trump says he personally told his "very good friend Rupert Murdoch" that he had not sent a racy birthday greeting two decades ago to Jeffrey Epstein. Murdoch's Journal reported it anyway.

Since we are talking Billy Joel right now, I will unleash my take that The Stranger is the ideal album to listen to on a treadmill. Catchy songs you can sing along to in your head … good tempo… variety

In an NPR video interview, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social leans into the idea that Democrats should oppose the status quo —and if they regain power they may not want to “just tape the pieces together.”

The time for negotiations to start is now, and anything jeopardizing peace must be rejected, Pope Leo XIV said.

South Park skewered President Trump. Stephen Colbert isn't holding back. This week, comedians on Paramount-owned shows aired their grievances against both their parent company and Trump. By @edeggans.bsky.social

Last than a week ago, Republican senators ceded their power to the president, approving cuts that some disliked or called excessively vague. They insisted on preserving one program: PEPFAR. Now the NYT says the administration has drafted potential plans to phase that out too.

Federal funding is gone. But we're not going anywhere.

Today on All Things Considered, I spoke with the general manager of Boise State Public Radio. He clearly spells out the impact that the loss of federal funding will have on his station and its ability to serve the public. www.npr.org/2025/07/18/n...

This won’t fix the gutting of federal funding, but: Go ahead and shoutout a smaller public radio station that has meant something to you & include a donation link. I’ll start: WUOT Knoxville, which reaches up into mountains and was a lifeline for me for a couple years give.utk.edu/campaigns/42...

Yes! Do what you can if you value public broadcasting

1) Stop scrolling. 2) Donate to your local public radio station - it suddenly has a massive budget gap 3) I dunno, treat yourself to a break from screens and make yourself a coffee

We at Louisville Public Media just lost $376,000 due to Congress passing the rescission bill last night to claw back funds from public media across America. Today we’re asking those who value our work to help make up those funds in an emergency drive so we can maintain the staff/services we provide:

Drinking coffee from my @wfuv.bsky.social mug today. I’ve been in public media since I walked into WFUV in 2004. I believe in the mission and goals of public broadcasting. We will keep doing the work as best as we can. We will need your support to do it more than ever before, though.

Still here, still working for you: with Michel Martin in NPR Studio 31 at 5:19am.

The Senate voted by a razor-thin margin late Tuesday to advance debate on a package of funding cuts requested by President Trump that would claw back $1.1 billion previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

President Trump is facing backlash from his supporters and opponents alike for how his administration has handled the release of evidence surrounding the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

SCOOP: More firings hit immigration courts. These come after Congress approved $3B in part to hire more. Since the start of the admin, over 80 judges have been fired or took the Fork in the Road. "I wanted to ride it until the very end," one of the fired judges told me. www.npr.org/2025/07/14/n...

Another day, another flood watch (it's a record-breaking 14th since May) for DC area. Storms with torrential rain most likely 5-10p tonight. We're in a level 3 out of 4 risk of flash flooding. Details at cwg.live

Thanks to @scottdetrow.bsky.social and @npr.org for asking me on to discuss UK-French nuclear cooperation and how Europe is adjusting to both an aggressive Russia and an unreliable America. www.npr.org/2025/07/12/n... @scientistsorg.bsky.social #nuclear

Great reporting we were happy to have on ATC today.

insightful reporting all week from Juana and the ATC team in Texas

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in a statement: “Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage.”

I encourage everyone to read this letter. Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

"She thought she could shape Elon. But ultimately, the man's gonna do what the man's gonna do regardless of good advice, and so, she probably wasn't as successful as she had hoped she would be," said Lou Paskalis, a friend of Yaccarino www.npr.org/2025/07/09/n...

On Sunday, the chatbot was updated to "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated." By Tuesday, it was praising Hitler.

In a break with decades of tradition, the Internal Revenue Service says it will allow houses of worship to endorse candidates for political office without losing their tax-exempt status. www.npr.org/2025/07/08/n...

The CBS Eye blinked. Disney's Mouse didn't roar. The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have pulled their editorial punches. My analysis for NPR: CBS is the latest news giant to bend to Trump's power www.npr.org/2025/07/02/n...

I am now deep into my second go-round of 24-7 toddler Frozen obsession, and I have to say: I’m still not sick of Let It Go. It holds up!

Honestly my expectations were low - so many vault releases are meh - but this has been so great to listen to. We dig into it on ATC tonight.

The ruling, involving the firm Susman Godfrey, marks the fourth time out of four that a federal judge has permanently blocked one of Trump's executive orders seeking to punish an elite law firm.

A spokesperson for Robert Caro just confirmed Bill Moyers never did come around and agree to speak to him. Alas.

Big news! @burke13.bsky.social and I are teaming up to write a biography of Pope Leo! “American Pope”, from @flatironbooks.bsky.social, will tell the story of Robert Prevost, how he went from the South Side to Vatican City, and what his life tells us about how he may steer the Catholic Church.
