💥 @chelseacirruzzo.bsky.social on Brian Lehrer talking about vaccines and public health 💥 www.wnyc.org/shows/bl

if you're in the D.C. area: @emmasarappo.bsky.social is talking to @tricialockwood.bsky.social about her new book tomorrow night at Politics and Prose! politics-prose.com/events?srslt...

“Every day you wake up and there’s still uncertainty, if not more..." I spoke with five families in the D.C. area about what it's like raising trans kids in Trump's backyard. They're deeply afraid of being targeted by the federal government — simply for navigating what's best for their kids.

On Thursday, NPR invited CPAC Chair Matt Schlapp to pay tribute to his friend, Charlie Kirk, which he did, at length.. But he ended up getting angry and cutting the interview short. This is what angered him: www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...

I'm working on a story for NPR on how high housing costs are causing some people to have fewer kids, or no kids, than they planned. Is this you and you're open to being in the story? Drop a line with a bit about your situation, where you live, + your phone number to [email protected]. Thanks!

Your input will help shape a new NPR series on renting, homeownership and everything that comes with it.

NPR combed through court records and other data related to Trump's takeover of D.C. police to get a better understanding of who has been swept up in the federal surge and what charges they are facing.

Revisiting this today — truly an astounding piece of journalism. apps.npr.org/gaza-buildin...

We asked 12 staffers at The Atlantic: What’s the one book you recommend again and again to friends and loved ones? One of their favorites will, we hope, be the title you pick up next: https://theatln.tc/VebePpnm

“There is a lot of uncertainty for the multilingual community in my school … Can I get my kid to school without being stopped by law enforcement? Is mom or dad going to be home when I get home?”

happy labor day I love my union!!!

on this labor day, i'm thinking about a paragraph written in the association for recorded sound collections journal more than 30 years ago that was true then and remains true now. happy labor day to all of my friends and colleagues at NPR, and to all in the workforce. solidarity now & forever.

“Upon analyzing the receipt, ChatGPT purported to find references to Soelberg’s mother, his ex-girlfriend, intelligence agencies and an ancient demonic sigil.”

something that is so crazy is when your good friend is extremely famous in his world! anyways Wolfe rocks and is very nice when we ask very basic questions about how the gameplay works lol

Protests get the attention, but D.C. residents have been engaging in smaller acts of resistance to Trump's federal surge. They're recording ICE agents and calling in thousands of sightings to a tip line, helping scared families get kids to school, and more. @51st.news: 51st.news/dc-residents...

As famine plagues Gaza, NPR exclusive reporting looks at the U.S.'s role in the humanitarian crisis. Many former officials NPR interviewed share a common refrain: Did we do enough to prevent this? n.pr/3VnVTQm

One fun thing about having lived in the state of Illinois, which has pretty strong biometric data laws, is that sometimes I'll be eligible for a class action lawsuit (see: getting a couple hundred dollars from Facebook back in 2022)

Once again I find myself in the trenches, defending women's right to write memoir in which they behave poorly or do not acquit themselves well ... while having to do so on behalf of bad writing

Adopted the most perfect big baby cat of all time six years ago! Bonito is sweet and snuggly and devious and perfect and I can’t imagine life without this floppy creature who lets us pick him up like a stuffed animal.

Samuel Kangethe has lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades, but an unresolved immigration case has made him deportable. He's decided to return to Kenya, leaving his wife and three children behind.

this is one of the all-time @amandamull.bsky.social bangers

Details on President Trump's plan to get unhoused people off Washington D.C. streets are sparse. A legal advocate for the vulnerable population worries that means the focus will be on criminalization.

I love working at ProPublica. I would love it more if it could guarantee us just cause protections. Go union.

I really need TikTok influencers to do a simple Google or read a book before they post about what's happening in D.C., because I just saw someone from NYC say "D.C. is officially under the Home Rule Act." This has been the case for over 50 years! The news is that Trump is invoking Section 740 of it

Images showing baby Mohammad Al-Motawaq captured world attention last month. In Israel, they were used to support claims that mass hunger in Gaza does not exist.

This is from Trump's remarks tonight in the Oval Office: "When asked whether the administration wants to overturn D.C.'s home rule ... Trump said, 'We're going to look at that. In fact the lawyers are already studying it.'"

made a quilt for a friend’s baby that I am so very proud of :)

Carlos Daniel Terán says he thought he was going to die at the CECOT. Andry Hernandez describes the place as “hell on Earth.” Venezuelans deported to El Salvador mega-prison tell of brutal abuse www.npr.org/2025/07/27/n... w/ Manuel Rueda

. @npr.org is one of the only US national news organizations that still has a reporter inside Gaza, Anas Baba, and he keeps reporting even though he himself is starving. This piece is unbelievably powerful. www.npr.org/2025/07/05/n...

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk. Local stations may vanish. Millions could lose trusted news and vital information. If you are ready to join the fight for journalism, donate now: n.pr/458sOhq

So much to love and chew on in Richard Brody’s new defense of written reviews www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

New: I spoke with Bill Siemering, who co-founded NPR a half-century ago, on what might be lost if public radio gets defunded www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/b...

"She says they could hear houses being carried down the river, the people inside screaming for help. There was nothing they could do." Really beautiful piece from my coworker Kat:

LGBTQ+ adults are twice as likely to use Medicaid as their main insurance — and Trump’s new tax law will make it even harder to get care. Widespread loss of health care, coupled with rising discrimination and fewer workplace protections, creates a worst-case scenario for LGBTQ+ rights, experts say.

I love and appreciate my wonderful neighbors and their love of summer fun and whimsy. However as a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown I would really love to get some sort of written notice whenever there's about to be a huge firework boom outside my window

AI-generated videos of fighting between Iran and Israel went viral, and people asked chatbots if they were real. "What we're seeing is AI mediating the experience of warfare," said one researcher.

Whenever @emmasarappo.bsky.social writes, you should read it, but especially this one www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges. The intervening decade has been a trip—especially for Generation Z. I wrote about the vibes this pride: www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

When the David Lynch auction was happening, I was chatting in Slack about how crazy it is that you could bid on his band saw and ironing board and childhood Christmas stocking — and my colleague turned it into the best story. www.npr.org/2025/06/23/n...

Happy Friday the 13th! So far I have: A) stepped in cat poop with bare feet, B) found a tick on my ribcage, and C) discovered my HVAC unit leaking through the ceiling 👍👍👍

The U.S. House voted Thursday on a rescission bill to claw back money for foreign aid programs, along with two years of funding for the public media system. The measure now goes to the Senate.

who is doing it like Caity Weaver!!!

2/ @micarosenberg.bsky.social, Perla Trevizo, Gabriel Sandoval, Ronna Risquez, Adrian Gonzalez and I have been reporting on what the government did to these 238 men, beginning with this story today: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

simply adored editing this story: www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

the David Lynch auction is so crazy to me because what do you mean that you could theoretically get your hands on the unfinished 'Ronnie Rocket' screenplay www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/142...

NEWS: NPR and three Colorado public radio stations sue Trump White House over effort to ban federal funding for NPR & PBS The lawsuit calls Trump's executive order "textbook retaliation" for protected free speech - threatening public radio My story: www.npr.org/2025/05/27/n...

overhearing a first date so excruciatingly boring i am thanking my lucky stars I met my wife randomly at college and have not had to listen to a date talk about unpacking suitcases from vacation

Also in the news today: My NPR colleague Kat Lonsdorf reports on what it would take to turn a Qatari gift jet into Air Force One: hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars. A specialist in the plane calls the idea of converting it quickly “just an interesting dream.”
