Navigating vaccine misinformation with a pediatrician

New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani built a coalition of voters who were engaged by his charisma and his campaign’s focus on key issues such as affordable transportation, housing and childcare. Mamdani has pointed to Boston mayor Michelle Wu, who was just re-elected in a landslide herself, as inspiration and for being “the most effective Democrat in America.” What can be learned from how progressive mayors like Wu and Mamdani are energizing voters?

Trump moves closer to closing the Education Department

Caregiving services for seniors can easily cost more each year than what the average American makes. And health insurers, both government and private, may not provide the coverage people need. 

That leads many people to step in and do the work for free. But caregivers need to take care of themselves, too. 
That's something Dawnita Brown knows all too well, as a caregiver to both her parents, and founder of The Binti Circle. It's a group she founded for Black daughters like her who are doing caregiving work.

It's been six months since a tornado hit St. Louis and damaged more than five thousand buildings and homes. 

Residents and local officials say the Trump administration's new policy on federal disaster assistance has meant they have been left to do the work traditionally done by FEMA.

Editor's note: After this story aired, the Federal Emergency Management Agency responded to NPR's request for comment. In a statement, FEMA said that it has not implemented any new policies or "experiments" related to its programs that provide aid to individuals and local governments. It also said that “the administration cares deeply about the people of Missouri” and is fully committed to supporting Missouri and St. Louis leadership as they navigate recovery from the tornado. "Federal, state and local partners are fully aligned" to assist survivors, the statement said.

What it takes to make a Tiny Desk Concert

The U.S. economy is in flux. And for millions of Americans, a new line item in their budget includes repaying federal student loans.

Making ends meet isn't just tough for student loan borrowers. Groceries cost a lot more now than they did in 2020. Tariff disputes make it difficult to plan future purchases and they can make it harder to find everyday items at affordable prices. 

Housing — whether it's your mortgage or rent — remains expensive. 

And the job market — well that's tough, too.

Unpredictable inflation, added expenses, a volatile stock market – the health of the U.S. economy is anything but certain right now. How can you manage?
