This is NPR. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. She says FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy are going to Chicago. Bondi says they will join hundreds of National Guard troops there. President Trump has deployed them, rejecting the wishes of Illinois and Chicago officials. This is harvesting time for wine grapes, but this year could have a bitter finish for some grape growers. That's because of a worldwide glut of wine. For Northwest Public Broadcasting, Anna King explains.
Many wine grape growers throughout the Northwest are set to drop a lot of fruit, leaving it to rot. Why? They're dealing with slow wine sales, reduced exports, and a shift in consumer preferences. Tom Walliser is a grower in the Walla Walla Valley. He's seen fewer sales and several contracts canceled this year. That leaves Walliser with tough decisions.
