Will Jan. 6 defendants go from prison to payday?

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 06:18

With Trump's DOJ anti-weaponization fund, Jan. 6 defendants may go from prison to payday. Can the police officers who defended the Capitol stop them?

The new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” from the Trump Department of Justice is a pot of money worth almost $1.8 billion from a settlement between President Trump, and the government he leads.

Trump officials say anyone who believes they were victims of “weaponized” law enforcement can apply for this taxpayer-funded compensation.

And that includes the hundreds of people who assaulted police at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Could artificial intelligence improve special education?

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 08:42

Special education teachers are using artificial intelligence to manage crushing paperwork. Could it help instructors spend more time with their students?

Millions of students qualify for special education and they need qualified teachers to help them.

But burnout for these teachers has caused many to leave the profession – one reason – the paperwork

Now, a growing number of special educators are using A-I to speed up that paperwork and some research shows that despite the risks – it could help them spend more time with students.

Former ‘Ebola czar’ on the current outbreak in Africa

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 08:42

More than a decade ago, Ron Klain helped orchestrate the U.S. response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, as the White House Ebola response coordinator under President Obama.

Now, with a fast-growing outbreak of a different strain of Ebola, in a different part of Africa, the public health infrastructure to address an outbreak has vastly changed, following the Trump administration’s dismantling of USAID.

In this episode, Klain talks about the role USAID played in responding to the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic, and assesses whether today’s outbreak poses more or less of a risk to people in the United States.

Is Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg ready to lead?

Monday, May 18, 2026 • Duration 11:25

Is Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg ready to lead? We ask him.

Schlossberg seems to be trying to follow the path his grandfather John F. Kennedy took when he was elected to Congress almost eight decades ago.

And his campaign has momentum. Lots of attention, favorable press and the endorsement of Speaker of the House emeritus Nancy Pelosi.

But now after the New York Times article – he’s speaking out – a lot.

A prayer festival calls for more religion in politics, not less

Sunday, May 17, 2026 • Duration 14:54

A prayer festival on the National Mall in Washington, DC was partially organized and funded by the federal government. Its evangelical Christian messaging and call for more religion in politics not less, aligns with the Trump administration's fusion of faith and governance. NPR's Emily Feng went to the event to understand the audience for this approach, and she spoke with author Eric Metaxas, a speaker at the Rededicate 250 festival.

Trump isn’t talking about deportations, but they’re still happening

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 09:55

The Trump administration hasn't been talking much about its mass deportation policy, but that doesn't mean efforts have stopped.

Back in February, support for President Trump’s mass deportation policy had plummeted. Two thirds of Americans polled by NPR said immigration enforcement had gone too far after agency officers killed two American citizens in Minneapolis.

The Trump administration has spent the past several months trying to regain public support ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

But what has actually changed about the policy?

Is the US running out of weapons in the Iran War?

Thursday, May 14, 2026 • Duration 09:10

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is butting heads with Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona again — this time, over Kelly’s recent statements that the U.S. is depleting its weapons supply in this war with Iran.

Secretary Hegseth says that in discussing information from Pentagon briefings, Senator Kelly violated protocol.

But the back-and-forth does raise the question: What's the status of the Pentagon's weapons stockpile amid the war with Iran?

Barbara Starr, former CNN Pentagon correspondent and current senior fellow at the The USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, provides insight.

Is there anything new to learn from the ‘alien files’?

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 08:56

Flying discs, metallic orbs, and a mysterious cylinder tumbling past the Apollo spacecraft. Those are just a few of the unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, contained in a batch of government files the Department of Defense released this month.

The DoD report, coming on President Trump’s orders, is another step towards the federal government taking the question of UAPs more seriously. But how much of this is really new – and what more can we learn from the files?

Astrophysicist Adam Frank of the University of Rochester, who’s involved in the search for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, weighs in on this new trove of ‘alien files.’

Trump promised Americans impartial justice. Is he delivering?

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 09:09

President Trump promised Americans, fair, equal and impartial justice…is that what he’s delivering?

President Trump campaigned on a promise to undo the levers of the justice system that he said were weaponized against him.

His administration has gutted the Justice Department unit that investigates and prosecutes public corruption.

But since the beginning of Trump’s second term investigations into corrupt public officials have dropped nearly 90 percent.

Meanwhile, pardons of officials convicted of corruption have risen.
