We’re honored that NPR’s Up F…" 2026 marks the first year that podcasts have been included as a category in the Golden Globe® Awards. We’re honored that NPR’s Up First — the show that gives you the top three stories you need to start your day — has been nominated for Best Podcast. Yes, it’s a sign of the seismic changes in the media landscape, but in an especially devastating year for public media, it’s an even bigger sign that all that NPR stands for — curiosity, connection, and a willingness to hear voices you don’t always hear — is a vital human resource. We couldn’t have done this without our generous supporters, and, of course, listeners like you. Thank you.

'Trump Account' would gives $1,000 to eligible newborns. Here's how it would work Bloomberg's Stacey Vanek Smith explains how Trump's investment accounts for kids would work, and outlines concerns and benefits.

“Trump Accounts” would give every baby born in the U.S. $1,000 in an index fund. The president says it will help middle class kids get a piece of the American dream. Will it? So much fun talking this over with the great @amartinezla.bsky.social on morning edition @npr.org
