The News Roundup For November 13, 2026

Nov 13, 2026 1 hr 24 min

Democrats had a feeling that the midterms would go well for their candidates. But few would have predicted that traditionally red states like Mississippi would flip. Now, Scott Colom will head to Washington as the state’s first Democratic senator since 1982. The House tried and failed to impeach the Defense Secretary Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie sponsored a resolution to effectively fire the head of the military. But his fellow GOP members did not back him. And Jensen Huang, the co-founder and now former CEO of Nvidia, resigned on Thursday. That’s after revelations of several affairs with his employees and a potential Chinese spy. And, in global news, President Donald Trump said he would hold off on new military action against Iran after appeals from Gulf allies, but the U.S. military continues to build its presence in the Middle East region. Saudi air defences intercepted Houthi missiles and drones launched towards Riyadh, Mecca, and other regions. Houthis have denied targeting Mecca, saying they only target oil facilities and military bases. And there were two days of U.S.-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. They ended with no major breakthrough. It was the first meeting between the two delegations in nine months.

In Good Health: Why Strokes Are Becoming More Common

Nov 12, 2026 41 min

The weekend before election day, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy was hospitalized after a stroke. He is 53. He has since left the hospital and is continuing his recovery at a rehabilitation center. A stroke at 53 may sound surprising. Of course, the risk of stroke rises with age. But researchers say strokes in younger adults are becoming more common. A study published in September in the journal Neurology tracked stroke cases in the Cincinnati area for nearly three decades. Among adults ages 20 to 54, the rate nearly doubled. Nationwide, nearly 800,000 people have strokes each year. That’s about one every 40 seconds. In this edition in our series, “In Good Health,” we talk about strokes and put your questions to the experts. Find more of our programs online.

Tech: What The Nvidia Scandal Means For The Global Economy

Nov 11, 2026 27 min

Corporate intrigue. National security secrets. A suspected Chinese spy. The rise and possible fall of a powerful man. The Nvidia espionage story has the makings of a great spy movie. But the implications are very real. CEO Jensen Huang is facing an investigation — and federal scrutiny— after admitting to an affair with a business executive believed by U.S. intelligence to be a spy for Beijing. But this isn’t just corporate gossip. Nvidia’s microchips fuel the AI race. Did tech secrets change hands? And what does this mean for national security and the global economy?

Pending: AI In The Workplace

Nov 10, 2026 44 min

“Today, the convergence of automation, robotics and A-I is rapidly transforming the very structure of work. It is said that this will bring great improvements for everyone. In reality, however, the “new ways” of working are not necessarily better,… …it is necessary to design systems that are centered on the human person and not solely on performance.” That critique of artificial intelligence is one you might expect to find in an op-ed or an online forum. It’s actually from Pope Leo the XIV, writing recently about protecting humanity in the AI era. The risks that generative artificial intelligence pose to human work are a common source of worry. A summer survey from Pew showed a majority of respondents – 52 percent – are more concerned than they are excited about the technology. And for the first time in five years of asking the question, a majority of people surveyed under 30 years old said they were more concerned than excited. How much of this worry about work and AI is based in reality? How are employees changing their work to include AI? Find more of our programs online.

'If You Can Keep It': What Democrats Can Actually Get Done

Nov 9, 2026 44 min

It’s a historic moment for the Democrats. Right now, the party is basking in a landslide victory glow. But after taking back the House and Senate and taking wins in reliably red areas across the U.S., the real work is just beginning. Last week, voters delivered a rebuke to the Trump administration and its policies. Now, they’re looking to the left to deliver on their key concerns. How will the Democrats take on the issues that matter most to Americans right now? How much of that is investigations and accountability versus actual legislation? What will they actually be able to get done? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

The News Roundup For November 6, 2026

Nov 6, 2026 1 hr 25 min

Massive Democratic midterm wins on Tuesday flipped control of the U.S. House and Senate across the country. Democrats will go to Congress in 2027 with a clear directive from voters — for change. The Affordable Care Act marketplace opened Sunday and millions of Americans are facing double-digit hikes to their health insurance premiums. And as Democrats take back control of the Senate, The New York Times reports that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has decided he will not retire until at least the end of the current court term. And, in global news, Vice President JD Vance wrote Wednesday on social media that the reason the GOP lost so many seats in the midterm election was the Iran war. Global reactions to the midterm elections poured in this week. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez praised voters in the U.S. for electing Democrats, posting on social media that, “It happened in Brazil. It has just happened in the US. And it will happen soon in Spain.” And the day of the midterm elections, President Donald Trump announced his administration would end the $4 billion in aid the U.S. sends annually to Israel.

Health: How Can Congress Combat The Rising Cost Of Healthcare?

Nov 5, 2026 33 min

The cost of most necessities is rising right now. And healthcare is no exception. In 2026, the average employer-based family healthcare plan cost a little over $28,000. And employees contributed over $7,400 more to those plans than in 2025. That’s according to analysis from the health research group KFF. And the nearly 20 million Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act for health insurance are facing a 13 percent premium increase next year. Two days out from the midterm elections, what can Congress do to keep healthcare affordable in the United States? Find more of our programs online.

'If You Can Keep It': The 2026 Election Roundup

Nov 4, 2026 45 min

The polls predicted a “blue wave.” And this time, the voters followed through. Democrats have taken control of the U.S. House and Senate, along with a slew of governorships, in what proved to be a stunning reversal of political power nationwide. In the Senate races, the Dems flipped seven seats, picking up a string of victories in Republican strongholds like Texas, Ohio, and Kansas — the latter last electing a Democrat almost 100 years ago. Control of the House was the first projected to flip on Tuesday, with Democrats picking up 29 seats. In this installment of “If You Can Keep It,” we unpack the 2026 midterm results — what we know, what we are still waiting on, and what it all means for the state of our democracy.

Politics: The Final Weekend Before The Midterms

Nov 2, 2026 44 min

The final weekend of campaigning before Election Day has passed. President Donald Trump attended rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday — despite initially announcing those rallies were cancelled. The president said they were back on the schedule on Friday. In more than two dozen campaign stops in October, the president’s influence among Republican voters has been tested — in a midterm election that is a referendum on his presidency so far. And while GOP campaigning continues to hinge on Trump — among Democrats, a fractured party in Michigan is becoming a problem of its own. In Michigan’s Senate Race, former Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens issued a late and shocking endorsement for the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers. Michigan’s Senate seat is a key piece to retaking control of the chamber for Democrats. More than 50 million votes have already been cast. What insight did this weekend’s campaigning give us to the state of the midterms? Find more of our programs online.

The News Roundup For October 30, 2026

Oct 30, 2026 1 hr 26 min

President Donald Trump hit the campaign trail in the final stretch of midterm season. And he’s made a number of promises to Republican voters this cycle, looking to shore up support in the communities he’s visiting. This week, in Texas, he promised to undo Biden-era methane regulations and to produce 210 million barrels of oil. The president is swinging big as seats in traditionally red states seem to be up for grabs. One high-quality poll this week,The New York Times/Siena poll. showed the race in South Carolina between appointed Republican Sen. Darline Graham, the late Lindsey Graham’s sister, tied with her Democratic opponent, Dr. Annie Andrews. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at its October meeting. However, two members of the Federal Open Market Committee dissented, and were in favor of raising rates by a quarter of a percent to try to bring down inflation. And, in global news, on Sunday night, 81-year old incumbent Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defied the polls — and historical precedent — by convincing more than 51 percent of Brazil’s electorate to vote for him and deliver an unprecedented fourth term. His opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, fled the country following his loss amid an ongoing corruption investigation. All the ballots from Tuesday’s Israeli election have been counted, and there’s still no clear winning coalition. On Thursday, Israel’s Central Election Committee said Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc holds 53 seats in the 120-member Knesset, while opposition parties have 67. And Vice President J.D. Vance reportedly sent a letter to a senior Iranian official in Tehran aimed at reviving peace talks to end the Iran war. But when Donald Trump was asked if he directed Vance to revive peace talks, he claimed the letter was about medical supplies.

The future of the Haitian community in America

Oct 29, 2026 33 min

The Trump administration successfully ended Temporary Protected Status (or TPS) for more than 350,000 Haitians – people who’d had fled violence and upheaval in their home country. The Obama administration first offered TPS to Haitians after a devastating earthquake struck the country in 2010. Then, the Biden administration extended the protections due to gang violence. But Donald Trump had other plans for his second term: mass deportations. What’s the reality on the ground in Haiti? And what’s the impacts are Trump’s deportation operations having on Haitians communities across the U.S.? Find more of our programs online.

Tech: The AI Bubble Has Already Burst In China. Could The U.S. Be Next?

Oct 28, 2026 22 min

It’s been a massive year for AI — and it just got bigger. Anthropic, the company which makes Claude, filed its long-awaited Initial Public Offering on Monday in what could be the largest IPO ever. It was also a huge day for AI deals in general. SpaceX secured $40 billion in financing to lease chips to power modern AI. And Meta is seeking $95 billion for its AI buildout. Altogether, that’s about $235 billion in one day, almost 1 percent of U.S. GDP. We’re seeing Wall Street fund the AI buildout in real time. But the bubble has already burst in China.

What Do The Protests Across Europe Mean For The Continent?

Oct 27, 2026 44 min

For weeks, people have been protesting across Europe. In France, high schoolers have staged blockades and organized major demonstrations demanding resources for underfunded schools — and rallied against high living costs in France’s major cities. Protests grew as labor unions, other activists, and also rioters joined in. The French protests have been marked by arrests, injuries, and violence. It’s a similar scene in other parts of Europe — including in Italy, Albania, Spain and Portugal. And, much like in France, young people are mostly leading the way. We take a look at the French protests and the larger youth movement in Europe. Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

'If You Can Keep It': The DOJ’s Midterm Moves

Oct 26, 2026 42 min

Early voting for the midterm elections is underway all across America. And Election Day is just over a week away. Now the president, facing likely losses in the House and the Senate, is ramping up his campaign to intervene in midterm voting and vote counting like no other president ever has in history. The Department of Justice is alleging widespread non-citizen voting in California on flimsy evidence. The DOJ is also filing high-profile criminal charges alleging non-citizen voting. Department authorities are also threatening local officials in California, saying they could face legal action if the department disapproves of how they handle ballots. In this edition of “If You Can Keep It,” we look at what these unprecedented moves from the Justice Department mean for the midterms and for our democracy. Find more of our programs online.

This week, President Donald Trump announced that he’s spent $300 million on ads this midterm season, with plans to spend another $100 million before Election Day. The battle between President Trump and the press continues. CNN is threatening legal action against the White House after its journalists were denied access to Air Force One. And on Thursday, the White House Correspondent from The Independent was removed from the aircraft. With the midterms less than two weeks away, Trump is putting the pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the war with Russia. And, in global news, demonstrations in France began last month with students across the country protesting deteriorating school conditions, staff shortages and dilapidated buildings. But over several weeks, they’ve tapped into broader anger over living costs, public services, and economic and social discontent. The European Commission estimates the Iran war has cost Europe more than $112 billion through disrupted ?trade and energy markets.

What Does Donald Trump’s Tariffs Mean For Michigan? Plus, The Israeli Election

Oct 20, 2026 44 min

In the decades following the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the U.S. and Canada built strong economic ties across their border. That robust partnership — which accounts for billions of dollars of goods — made Canada a key trading partner for northern states, like Michigan. But that decades-long economic relationship is fractured. Depending on how the Trump administration navigates its trade war with our northern neighbor, that relationship may not return to what many businesses and consumers consider normal. In August, the administration imposed 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, taxing $20 billion of Canadian products like dairy, beverages, cement, and more. Canada hit back in September, matching them dollar-for-dollar with new tariffs on American dairy, steel, aluminum, agricultural product, and electronics. What have those tariffs meant for Michigan’s economy, especially given Michigan is at the center of the midterm elections? Plus, in one week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces voters for the first time in four years. They’ll answer one question: Does he deserve a record seventh term as leader based on his time in office? After the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, he launched a three-year-long war with Hamas. He’s maintained Israel’s democracy while relying on the most far-right political coalition in the country’s history. So, what are the stakes of this election in Israel? And how could the parties that win it shape the country’s current military operations in and around its borders? Find more of our programs online.

Military: Pete Hegseth’s New Pentagon

Oct 13, 2026 43 min

The U.S. Military educates, and trains some of the best and brightest across the U.S. The Pentagon is a complex, big, and bureaucratic machine. It moves slowly. But it has evolved over time, reflecting changes in our society and politics. From the integration of the military in the late-1940’s to women finally being admitted to military academies, in the mid-1970s. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on a mission to change what he calls a “woke” and “weak” military. He says he wants to bring back a “warrior ethos” and “lethality” to the military. His strategy? Rolling back inclusive policies, firing high level officials, and overhauling military education. He’s been explicit about the kind of Pentagon he envisions, using vulgarities and slurs to make his point. What do Hegseth’s reforms mean for service members, cadets, military families, and the next generation of recruits? Find more of our programs online.

'If You Can Keep It': The Purpose Of The Polls

Oct 12, 2026 43 min

Polls play a major role in U.S. politics. And in the months leading up to an election, they’re everywhere. Polling doesn’t just indicate which party has a competitive advantage in a race. They also tell us about the issues that are most concerning to voters. And how these concerns break down by race, gender, education, age, and political affiliation. They also tell us the level of trust people have in the institutions tasked with carrying out our democratic processes. In this installment of our weekly series, “If You Can Keep It,” we break down the purpose of polls and their place in our elections, politics, and democracy. Find more of our programs online.

Religion: Pope Leo XIV, So Far

It’s been a successful summer for Robert Prevost — one of Chicago’s most distinguished citizens. His essay on artificial intelligence was released in paperback to enthusiastic reviews. It was described by one prominent commentator as “beautifully written, hugely significant, speaks truth to power.” His three-city tour of France exceeded all expectations, drawing huge crowds. An estimated 800,000 people packed the Champs-Elysees to see him. And his beloved Chicago White Sox went from woeful to winners and made the World Series playoffs. Prevost, of course, is better known these days by another name: Pope Leo XIV. He’s the first ever American head of the Catholic church. So, how’s he doing?

In Good Health: The Evolution Of Prostate Cancer Treatment

Oct 7, 2026 43 min

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men — and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. One in eight men will be diagnosed in their lifetime. And Black men are more than twice as likely to die from it. Between the social stigma and misconceptions about diagnostic methods, it’s not something many men want to talk about. Some 99 percent of people diagnosed early with prostate cancer live at least 5 more years. And treatment options and guidelines are evolving rapidly. Our “In Good Health” series continues. We gather a group of doctors from three of the disciplines involved in the treatment of prostate cancer. Find more of our programs online.

Midterms: The Connection Between Civics And Democracy

Oct 1, 2026 31 min

In five weeks, more than 100 million people will vote as part of the 2026 midterm elections. In New Hampshire and across the country, that means that voters will go to the polls to choose representatives, senators, governors, state legislators, city councilors, school board members, and more. So, what do we know about the basic nuts and bolts of our elections? Do we know who’s on our ballot and understand the positions we’re being asked to vote on? Do we understand how our election system works — especially since that system is the target of baseless allegations from the president? What’s the connection between a good civics education and a functioning political system? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

Economy: Managing Your Money Ahead Of The Midterm Elections

Sep 30, 2026 41 min

Gas. Groceries. Housing. Almost everywhere you look in the U.S. economy right now, prices are up – and people are feeling the squeeze. As of July, six in ten Americans say Trump’s economic policies have worsened economic conditions in the country, according to a survey from Pew Research. That’s up from roughly 53 percent who said the same last fall. While the U.S. economy is strong on paper — with relatively low unemployment and shrinking inflation — voter concerns about affordability are expected to factor heavily into the midterm elections. So, how should you manage your money right now? And what financial decisions are you weighing that you’d like a second opinion on? We put your questions to a panel of experts.

Policy: ICE And The Pregnant Women It's Detaining

Sep 29, 2026 43 min

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests reached record highs this summer. And the full scope is just coming into focus. Some 43,000 people were arrested in June, more than 49,000 in July, and almost 51,000 in August —an agency record. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives last June passed a $70 billion package tofund ICE and the Border Patrol through the end of President Donald Trump’s second term. As ICE became the best funded law enforcement agency in the country, its tactics changed. Instead of high-profile operations centralized in one location – like the operations in Minnesota, Chicago, and Los Angeles last year – they’re focusing on quieter, everyday arrests throughout the country. And more details are being released about a record number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests of pregnant women last fall.A September report by The Guardian revealed that ICE placed more pregnant immigrants in detention last fall and winter than at any time over the previous year. ICE data from February reveals that 86 pregnant women were in ICE custody — more than 10 percent were detained in their third trimester. Nearly 400 women who were pregnant, postpartum, or nursing were deported from January 2025 to February 2026, according to the Department of Homeland Security. We sit down and get into how pregnant women are being affected by the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. Find more of our programs online.

'If You Can Keep It': How The Midterms Will Run

Sep 28, 2026 43 min

The midterms are just five weeks away. Ballots are already in the mail and in person voting is underway in some states. Meanwhile, the federal government’s role in this election is still being hashed out in the courts. This month, the Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to give the U.S. Postal Service greater control over mail in ballots. Then on Friday, it revived a federal citizenship-check system that a lower court had found illegal. And three separate lawsuits have been filed in recent weeks to keep armed federal agents away from polling places. The White House says its push to federalize elections is about protecting the integrity of the vote. But a new NPR, PBS News, and Marist poll found that 75 percent of voters trust their state or local government to run a fair and accurate election. Amid all the false claims and efforts to confuse, how are elections running for the midterms? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

The News Roundup For September 25, 2026

Sep 25, 2026 1 hr 26 min

President Donald Trumpbanned television networks he deemed adversarial from the White House press pool this week. Following a lawsuit, a judge issued a 14-day stay, temporarily restoring White House access to CNN, MSNow, and POLITICO. New reporting indicates that the ICE agent who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin, Texas, last Sunday was issued a body camera for use in the field,but wasn’t wearing it at the time of the encounter. And a poll finds that President Trump’s approval ratings have sunk to another low —diving to 32 percent. And, in global news, The81st United Nations General Assembly opened in New York City this week. President Donald Trump threatened to annihilate Iran, the Israeli delegation walked out during a speech by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the leader of the Palestinian Authorityaddressed the assembly via video after being denied a U.S. visa. Pomp, pageantry and grand displays of friendship. But was there substancein the Trump – Xi Summit in Washington? Leaders in the Tigray region of Ethiopiasay they’re mobilizing their military against the country’s federal government and a 2022 ceasefire falls apart.

Conflict: Israel and Gaza at the 2026 UN General Assembly

Sep 24, 2026 43 min

World leaders have descended upon New York City for this year’s edition of the United Nations General Assembly. And a lot is happening. So far, we’ve seen some most pointed criticism of Israel’s conduct heard at the U.N. in years. This led to the Israeli delegation walking out during the Turkish president’s address. It’s been nearly three years since Oct. 7. And the Palestinian Authority’s president isn’t in the room — the United States denied him a visa. Mahmoud Abbas will instead address the assembly on Thursday by video. What is being said about Gaza at this General Assembly? And what does it tell us about the limits of the U.N.’s power when America isn’t on board? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

Education: The Decline of American Higher Education on the World Stage

Sep 23, 2026 33 min

For decades, U.S. colleges and universities have been regarded as among the best in the world. From the Ivy League to state research institutions, thousands of students and professors from around the globe flocked to America year after year to study, teach, and innovate. International students represented about 6 percent of all higher education students – that’s about 1.1 million. But last year, international student enrollment fell by a fifth compared to the year before. That’s the largest percentage change since the pandemic, according to federal data. And early data suggest that drop in enrollment continued this school year. How did the U.S. begin losing dominance in higher education? And what does this decline mean for students, faculty, and innovation in this country? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

'If You Can Keep It': ‘Empire of Grift’

Sep 21, 2026 32 min

No two words defined President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign more than “America first.” The name of this country has been at the center of President Trump’s rhetoric. But his administration’s approach to foreign policy tells a different story. The Trump administration has done everything from leveraging tariffs, to canceling visas, to sanctioning foreign leaders trying to influence elections abroad for personal gain. In her new Atlantic essay, “Empire of Grift,” Anne Applebaum outlines in painstaking detail the ways Trump and his allies are only ‘America first’ in talk while lining their pockets in practice. In this installment of our weekly democracy series, “If You Can Keep It,” we discuss how the president is deploying the tools of U.S. diplomacy to make the world safer for corruption and authoritarianism.

The News Roundup For September 18, 2026

Sep 18, 2026 1 hr 27 min

This week the nation woke up to the potential danger of runaway tech — that AI is behaving in ways its creators don’t intend and can’t control. And that we might be as little as six months to a year away from AI being capable of acting on its own. The midterm election is coming. Prices are high. And a new Congressional Budget Office report out this week says the main reason for relentless inflation is the Iran war. And President Donald Trump has made mail-in-voting a major part of his campaign to sow doubt in the voting process. But on Monday, the Supreme Court blocked his executive order to change how mail-in ballots are sent to voters across the country. And, in global news, this week, Yemeni Houthis militia members seized the Red Sea port of Mokha and several islands inside the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key shipping passage. Reporting from The Washington Post revealed the details of a $2.8 billion arms package the Trump administration will send to Israel. The sale includes 2,000-pound bombs, the largest single sale of the controversial munition in recent years. And next week, is the U.N. General Assembly will stage its annual meeting in New York.Then, Chinese President Xi Jinping heads to Washington for a much-anticipated meeting with President Donald Trump.

Health: State Abortion Bans And Ectopic Pregnancies

Sep 17, 2026 41 min

Between 2020 and 2025, nearly 200 women have died from ectopic pregnancies. That’s almost double the number of deaths in the previous six years. Ectopic pregnancies happen when an embryo implants outside the uterus and can’t develop properly. If left untreated, the embryo can rupture, causing deadly bleeding. The treatment for ectopic pregnancies – which are almost never viable – is termination. But since the reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022, terminating a pregnancy has become more complicated in states with abortion restrictions. We sit down to talk about a new investigation from ProPublica that explores the role these state abortion bans could be playing in the rise in deaths related to ectopic pregnancies.

AI: Should We Slow AI Innovation Down?

Sep 16, 2026 42 min

Last week, a researcher at the artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced his resignation on X, formerly known as Twitter. Jacob Coxon wrote that his former company — along with Open AI, where he also recently worked — are acting irresponsibly and “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.” That post went viral — it’s now been viewed nearly 200 million times. Then, on Saturday, Anthropic’s own CEO, Dario Amodei, published an essay calling on the entire industry to deliberately slow down. He also shared some ideas about how to do it. The head of Open AI, Sam Altman, replied by saying, “I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier.” Should we slow down AI innovation — and is that even possible? What’s at risk if we don’t?

Policy: The Human Cost Of Third-Country Deportations

Sep 15, 2026 44 min

The administration is expanding its third-country deportation campaign. Since President Donald Trump took office last year, more than 25,000 people have been sent to over 29 countries they’re not from. That includes places like Liberia, Guatemala, South Sudan, Guyana, Ghana, and Honduras. Now, more than 30 countries have agreed to accept deportees from the U.S. What does that mean for the people sent to a place they’ve never been? And for the relationship between accepting countries and the U.S.? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

'If You Can Keep It': The Deal With Dark Money

Sep 14, 2026 43 min

At least a billion dollars of untraceable cash is flowing into this year’s midterm elections. That’s according to an analysis by The New York Times from late last month. These funds – referred to as dark money by campaign finance experts – are coming from super PACs, non-profits, and wealthy donors. Tracing exactly how much dark money is flowing through campaigns is difficult. Money spent to hire influencers online, direct mail campaigns, and employ door knockers isn’t always publicly disclosed as campaign spending. In this edition of “If you Can Keep it,” we tackle the role of dark money in our midterm elections. Find more of our programs online.

Sep 11, 2026 1 hr 26 min

Despite President Donald Trump’s historic unpopularity, Republicans are betting on him big ahead of this year’s midterms. The partystaged a first midterm convention in Dallas, Texas this week. Following renewed hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, the price of crude oil has risen to over $100 per barrel, meaning American drivers are in for more pain at the pump. And this week New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release of a public portal allowing access to records relating to 9/11. And, in global news, a new book alleges that Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu was warned of the Hamas offensive,just days before the October 7, 2023 attack.

In Good Health: The Matter Of Maternal Mental Health Care

Sep 10, 2026 45 min

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial captivated the American public for weeks. Prosecutors charged Clancy with murdering her three children. They say she then tried to take her own life and that her injuries left her paralyzed from the waist down. Clancy’s lawyers say she was experiencing postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible. But prosecutors say she planned the deaths. After seven days of deliberation, the jury remained deadlocked and the case ended in a mistrial. The trial has divided the nation and sparked conversations over about maternal mental health, raising questions over gaps in care for parents after giving birth. About one in five expecting or postpartum women in the U.S. experience mental health disorders. And according to a 2025 study, overall maternal mental health has dramatically dropped in the past seven years, with only 25 percent of moms reporting excellent mental health. What do we know – and don’t know – about maternal mental health care? And how can our systems be bolstered to help those who need it most after giving birth? If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or thinking of harming yourself, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 by phone and text. The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is also available 24/7. You can text, call or chat at 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

Jobs: What It Means To Be ‘Disposable’ At Work

Sep 9, 2026 42 min

The way we work has changed dramatically over the last decade. Using AI is quickly becoming the norm in many workplaces when, just a few years ago, it felt closer to science fiction. And the hybrid work model that began during the pandemic has made remote work much more common. We’ve also seen shifts around what it means to be an “essential worker.” It’s a term that emerged during the pandemic, but has largely fallen out of our vocabulary. This category included nurses and doctors, government workers, those in transportation, food and agriculture, water, and waste management. But there’s a different name for a growing segment of the work population that includes those we once deemed essential — the “disposable” worker. Unlike their “essential” counterparts, the disposable workforce isn’t defined by the services they offer, but by the weakening contract between them and their employers. In honor of Labor Day week, we discuss what it means to be disposable in today’s labor market — and what happens when people abandon traditional work arrangements altogether.

Health: The Fight For The Health Of 9/11 First Responders

Sep 8, 2026 44 min

A quarter century after 9/11, the health of those who responded to the attacks continues to be affected. Some 3,000 people died across three locations that day. An estimated 400,000 people were exposed to toxic contaminants and risked physical injury in the hours and days that followed. That’s according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since the dust and debris have settled, more than 96,000 have been diagnosed with physical and mental health conditions related to 9/11. In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, establishing the World Trade Center Health Program and reopening the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. Today, more than 150,000 people are enrolled in the program. But that program wouldn’t exist without the advocacy of survivors and first responders who put their bodies and lives on the line following the attacks. How did that fight for care unfold?
