What key events are highlighted in President Trump's anniversary speech?
Support for NPR and the following message come from the estate of Joan B. Kroc, whose bequest serves as an enduring investment in the future of public radio and seeks to help NPR produce programming that meets the highest standards of public service in journalism and cultural expression.
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump's commemorating the anniversary of his re-election to a second term. He marked the occasion a short time ago at a business forum in Miami where he talked about a U.S. economy thriving on his watch.
It's been really helped a lot by the tariffs.
How are Jewish and Muslim communities responding to the election of Zoran Mamdani?
It's been really helped incredibly because this is really a transition period. We went from a horrible, failed country to a tremendous success. It's a transition.
Trump also acknowledged Republican losses to Democrats yesterday in a number of key races widely viewed as a rebuke of tariffs and other Trump policies. In GOP reaction to yesterday's setback, Trump urged Senate Republicans at a breakfast this morning to scrap the filibuster, blaming the losses on the government shutdown. Hours later, California Republicans filed a lawsuit challenging voter approval of a redistricting measure that would benefit Democrats.
What factors influenced the recent gubernatorial election outcomes?
Prop 50 was a Democrat's response to similar initiatives in GOP-led states. Jewish and Muslim groups are responding to the election of Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York City. Here's NPR's Jason DeRose.
The Union for Reform Judaism said in a statement that it would hold the new mayor accountable to his commitments to protect Jewish communities and confront anti-Semitism. Many Jewish leaders had raised concerns about Mamdani's pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist positions. The Anti-Defamation League says it's launching a tip line to report Mamdani administration policies and appointments that might affect Jewish New Yorkers. The Council for American Islamic Relations is calling Mamdani's election an historic turning point for Muslims, as well as a rebuke of Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian politics. Jason DeRose, NPR News.
Democrats prevailed in two major gubernatorial races, one in Virginia, the other New Jersey, where Congresswoman Mikey Sherrill won. She spoke to NPR.
The key to my success is ruthless competence. And so we got it done in the campaign. We put together just the biggest, I think, most professional campaign the state's seen.
What are the implications of the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville?
And we saw great results last night. It feels good.
Voters in Missouri's largest school district have approved a four-day school week. From Member Station KCUR, here's Jody Fortino.
The independent school district, located in a Kansas City suburb, adopted the shorter week two years ago to attract more teachers amid a statewide shortage. But a new Missouri law requires that larger school districts get voter approval by the next school year to start or continue a four-day week. About a third of the state's school districts are participating in a four-day week as they navigate how to keep educators while struggling with limited resources to raise salaries. Most of the school districts on the shorter week are small and located in rural areas, but the one in Independence may push more suburban schools to consider changing their schedule. For NPR News, I'm Jody Furtino in Kansas City.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up more than 300 points.
How is the government addressing the spread of bird flu among farms?
It's NPR News. Following developments on the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky yesterday, local authorities say at least nine people died and more than 12 were injured. The plane crashed as it was taking off for Honolulu from UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical today of the government's argument that President Trump could bypass Congress to impose tariffs on other countries by using national security as a legal rationale. Both the court's six conservatives and its three liberals sharply questioned D. John Sauer, the solicitor general, on President Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
