Has the ADL ever done this for a single official?
“We've certainly never had an elected official like this before,” he said.

I was working at an independent bookstore in 1972;we listened to NPR all day long in the back room. I just now listened to the bit with Ira & Susan in a closet testing the “green flash” theory of wintergreen lifesavers. I heard that one live 😊. She was a goddess among women. ❤️
Incredible images of NPR’s Susan Stamberg, who has died at 87.
The next post has an audio story that will tell you something about her.

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

After the 2008 election, Democrats had Senate seats in these 9 states: AK, MT, MO, SD, IA, AR, LA, WV, NC.
After the 2024 election, they had zero seats in those states. If they held just a few, everything would be different.
How have they lost their rural game?

On NPR, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not repeat a claim about illegal immigrants receiving health care. She insisted the WH is willing to negotiate over health care tax credits—but later. And said freezing $18b in infrastructure funds to NY was “temporary.”
