Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
What led to Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation?
Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning after a public falling out with President Trump through much of his second term. In a post online, Greene says Trump's attacks over the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein motivated her departure.
Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the president of the United States, whom I fought for.
Greene says if she ran for re-election, she would have had to endure, quote, hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for, and she predicts Republicans will lose in the midterm elections. Greene says her last day in office will be January 5th.
How has the IRS data-sharing policy changed recently?
A federal judge on Friday blocked the Internal Revenue Service from sharing taxpayers' addresses with immigration officials. NPR's Jude Jaffe Block has more.
The court order blocks one of the ways the Trump administration has been taking unprecedented steps to share personal data with ICE to boost deportations. Back in August, the IRS turned over the addresses of 47,000 people to ICE.
What was the outcome of the meeting between Trump and Mayor-elect Mamdani?
The judge found that data sharing was unlawful. The order bars Treasury Secretary Scott Besant from sharing confidential taxpayer information with the Department of Homeland Security or its sub-agencies. unless the government is directly engaged in a relevant criminal investigation. The order is a victory for the small businesses, unions, and tax assistance nonprofit that brought the suit. It's unclear whether the administration will appeal.
How will the removal of tariffs on Brazilian imports affect consumers?
Jude Jaffeblock, NPR News.
President Trump met with New York City Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani at the White House today. NPR's Franco Ordonez reports on the surprisingly gracious sit-down after weeks of heated rhetoric.
President Trump had threatened to cut funding if Mondani was elected and called him his little communist mayor.
What were the implications of the recent officer acquittal in Ohio?
Mondani had described himself as Donald Trump's worst nightmare. But on Friday, they were both full of smiles and promises to partner together on lowering the cost of housing and groceries for New Yorkers.
Why did the Global Fund fall short of its fundraising goal?
I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City. It's where I come from. I spent a lot of years there. Now I'm right here.
Both have a mutual interest in playing nice. Mondani wants to protect federal funding for New York City. And Trump is looking to get in on Mondani's affordability message. Franco Ordonez, NPR News, the White House.
Brazilian coffee exporters are celebrating after President Trump lifted additional import tariffs on their products. Trump removed the tariffs yesterday as part of efforts to lower consumer costs for Americans. The decision affects Brazilian goods like coffee, fruit and beef. After a day of wild swings, major U.S. stock indexes closed up. This is NPR News from Washington. An Ohio officer has been acquitted of all charges after fatally shooting Takiyah Young, a pregnant black mother accused of shoplifting. Blendon Township Police Officer Connor Grubb pleaded not guilty to murder in the 21-year-old's death. Body cam video showed Young refusing to get out of her car before it rolled towards Grubb, and he shot her once in the chest.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Has Fallen Billions of Dollars Short of Its Goal, NPR's Jonathan Lambert reports.
The Global Fund is a major player in global health. It provides roughly three-quarters of all international financing for TB and more than half for malaria. It was hoping to raise $18 billion for its three-year budget, but on Friday, it announced it only raised a bit more than $11 billion. Part of the shortfall reflects a drop from the U.S., its biggest funder. Their new pledge is $4.6 billion, down from $6 billion in 2022. But given the Trump administration's foreign aid cuts, advocates had feared a greater decrease. Many countries also shrunk their pledges, though several major contributors, like France and Japan, haven't announced pledges yet.
