Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American history museum A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Rewriting history: Smithsonian removes Trump, the only president impeached twice, from its exhibit about impeachment. "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal," the exhibit now says referring to Johnson, Nixon and Clinton @janaykingsberry.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Trump lawsuit against Murdoch and 'Wall Street Journal' turns personal Trump says he personally told his "very good friend Rupert Murdoch" that he had not sent a racy birthday greeting two decades ago to Jeffrey Epstein. Murdoch's Journal reported it anyway.

Since we are talking Billy Joel right now, I will unleash my take that The Stranger is the ideal album to listen to on a treadmill. Catchy songs you can sing along to in your head … good tempo… variety

In an NPR video interview, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social leans into the idea that Democrats should oppose the status quo —and if they regain power they may not want to “just tape the pieces together.”

Pope appeals to leaders with power to end wars to start peace talks He also greets young people in Rome for the Jubilee of Youth, thanked journalists and reminded people to connect with grandparents and the elderly.

The time for negotiations to start is now, and anything jeopardizing peace must be rejected, Pope Leo XIV said.

This was the week that comedy pushed back South Park skewered President Trump. Stephen Colbert isn't holding back. This week, comedians on Paramount-owned shows aired their grievances against both their parent company and Trump.

Last than a week ago, Republican senators ceded their power to the president, approving cuts that some disliked or called excessively vague.

They insisted on preserving one program: PEPFAR.

Now the NYT says the administration has drafted potential plans to phase that out too.

"Local. Trusted. Defunded." is featured on the GBH Mural in Boston, Mass., on July 18, 2025.

Federal funding is gone.
But we're not going anywhere.

Funding cuts will hit rural areas hard. One station manager explains how NPR's Juana Summers speaks with Tom Michael, general manager of Boise State Public Radio, about what the cuts to federal public media funding mean for his station.

Today on All Things Considered, I spoke with the general manager of Boise State Public Radio. He clearly spells out the impact that the loss of federal funding will have on his station and its ability to serve the public. www.npr.org/2025/07/18/n...

I love the idea of a George tree ala Popovich or Belichick

This won’t fix the gutting of federal funding, but: Go ahead and shoutout a smaller public radio station that has meant something to you & include a donation link. I’ll start: WUOT Knoxville, which reaches up into mountains and was a lifeline for me for a couple years give.utk.edu/campaigns/42...

Yes! Do what you can if you value public broadcasting

I had a five minute conversation with Ben Folds at my college radio station and wasn’t aware it was Ben Folds until someone told me later.

1) Stop scrolling.

2) Donate to your local public radio station - it suddenly has a massive budget gap

3) I dunno, treat yourself to a break from screens and make yourself a coffee

We at Louisville Public Media just lost $376,000 due to Congress passing the rescission bill last night to claw back funds from public media across America. Today we’re asking those who value our work to help make up those funds in an emergency drive so we can maintain the staff/services we provide:

Drinking coffee from my @wfuv.bsky.social mug today. I’ve been in public media since I walked into WFUV in 2004. I believe in the mission and goals of public broadcasting.

We will keep doing the work as best as we can. We will need your support to do it more than ever before, though.

Still here, still working for you: with Michel Martin in NPR Studio 31 at 5:19am.

Senate set to debate cuts to NPR, PBS and foreign aid The Senate voted by a razor-thin margin late Tuesday to advance debate on a package of funding cuts requested by President Trump that would claw back $1.1 billion previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Trump tells supporters not to 'waste time' on Epstein files. They're not happy President Trump is facing backlash from his supporters and opponents alike for how his administration has handled the release of evidence surrounding the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

More immigration judges are being fired amid Trump's efforts to speed up deportations Several more immigration judges have been fired, even as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement, and after Congress gave the Department of Justice $3 billion, in part to hire judges...

SCOOP: More firings hit immigration courts. These come after Congress approved $3B in part to hire more. Since the start of the admin, over 80 judges have been fired or took the Fork in the Road.

"I wanted to ride it until the very end," one of the fired judges told me. www.npr.org/2025/07/14/n...

Another day, another flood watch (it's a record-breaking 14th since May) for DC area. Storms with torrential rain most likely 5-10p tonight. We're in a level 3 out of 4 risk of flash flooding.

Press Statement

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in a statement:

“Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage.”

I encourage everyone to read this letter.

Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

Linda Yaccarino steps down after a turbulent two years leading X Yaccarino, a traditional business executive, was in many ways a strong foil to the mercurial and controversy-courting Musk. She did not cite a reason for her departure.

"She thought she could shape Elon. But ultimately, the man's gonna do what the man's gonna do regardless of good advice, and so, she probably wasn't as successful as she had hoped she would be," said Lou Paskalis, a friend of Yaccarino
