Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder.
Chapter 2: What recent military justice concerns are raised by Senator Mark Kelly?
Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly says he does not think President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hagsath have a good understanding of military justice.
He's certainly outrageous and unpredictable. I don't think he understands the Constitution. I'm not so sure Pete Hegseth does either. Neither of them seem to understand the Uniform Code of Military Justice because we recited what is in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and now he wants to court-martial me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It just doesn't make any sense.
Chapter 3: How is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee engaging rural voters?
Kelly is facing a court martial threat from the Pentagon over that video that featured Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers calling on U.S. troops to defy illegal orders. Also, the FBI has begun contacting those six Democrats seeking to interview them. All six have national security backgrounds. They say the Trump administration is trying to silence them.
Chapter 4: What personal connection does White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt have to ICE arrests?
Israel says it has identified the latest remains turned over by Palestinian militants. The prime minister's office has confirmed that forensic tests show that the body is at a 48-year-old drawer. The identification came as mediators met in Cairo to discuss the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has announced investments aimed at reaching rural areas ahead of next year's midterm elections. NPR's Ashley Lopez reports.
The DCCC announced an eight-figure investment in voting blocks it hopes to persuade in their effort to win back Congress.
Chapter 5: How is rising insecurity affecting food security in northern Nigeria?
That includes voters of color, as well as notably voters in rural areas where Democrats have suffered deep losses in recent years. Congresswoman Suzanne DelBene, who chairs the DCCC, says the party has an opportunity to engage these voters on economic issues.
When we look at the swing districts across the country, the districts that are going to determine the majority in the House of Representatives, We know that rural voters are key in those districts.
DelBene says the Trump administration's economic policies have hurt rural voters, particularly tariffs and cuts to health care. Ashley Lopez, NPR News.
Chapter 6: What weather conditions are impacting Thanksgiving travel this year?
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt now has a personal tie to the ICE arrest sweeping the country. Her nephew's mother was arrested by agents earlier this month in Revere, Massachusetts. From Member Station WBUR, Simone Rios reports.
Chapter 7: What updates are there on the recent tornadoes in Houston?
Leavitt's brother Michael Leavitt shares a child with a Brazilian woman named Bruna Ferreira. Her family said the couple separated a decade ago. Two weeks ago, ICE agents arrested Ferreira and sent her to a facility in Louisiana. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin says Ferreira overstayed a tourist visa and was once arrested for battery.
Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are subject to deportation. Ferreira's family says she has deferred action immigration status, and she's a hardworking person who helps those in need.
This is NPR. The UN's World Food Program says rising insecurity in northern Nigeria is driving hunger to unprecedented levels. Nearly 35 million people projected to face severe food insecurity next year, the most anywhere in Africa. The warning comes amid the recent kidnapping of more than 300 Catholic schoolgirls by armed groups, as NPR's Emanuele Canwalter reports.
David Stevenson, WFP country director in Nigeria, said several communities are under severe pressure from repeated attacks and were in need of urgent support. Close to a fifth of Africa's most populous country is expected to be affected and thousands to face famine-like conditions, the WFP said. The crisis is driven by rising insecurity in northern Nigeria by a range of armed groups,
and by Islamist militants that have a growing presence in northeast Nigeria. Last week saw three major attacks, including the kidnap of over 300 children from a Catholic school. More than 250 are still missing. The attacks drew condemnation from the US, which has accused Nigeria of failing to protect Christians, which the government have denied. Emmanuel Akimotu, NPR News.
Thanksgiving travelers are keeping an eye on the weather. The official start of winter is nearly a month away, but heavy snow has been falling in the Dakotas, where Interstates 94 and 29 were closed Tuesday because of low visibility and multiple accidents. Also on Tuesday, the National Weather Service confirmed at least two tornadoes tore through the Houston area, damaging more than 100 homes.
No injuries were reported. I'm Giles Snyder. This is NPR News.
