in the New York murder case against the suspect accused of killing a healthcare CEO in
2024.
“NPR's Brian Mann reports from New York, defense lawyers are going to pursue a new psychiatric”
defense for Luigi Mangione. "This hearing was incredibly contentious. The big news, they will claim that he was under some kind of extreme emotional derasse. These accused, of course, of shooting and killing Brian Thompson, a top CEO at a health insurance company in 2024.
There was back and forth between the prosecutor and the defense over where their defense attorneys have released medical information quickly enough. A lot of this is still redacted. We don't yet know exactly the nature of the mental illness that Mannione's defense team will claim.
More about that is expected to be released in the coming days." NPR is Brian Mann in New York. Results are coming in from yesterday's primary and run-off elections in Georgia, Republicans
“have chosen Congressman Mike Collins as their candidate for the U.S. Senate.”
He will face incumbent Georgia Democratic Senator John Ossoff in the fall. For member station W.A. B.E. and Atlanta, Rahul Bolley says, Collins got President Trump's endorsement. These controversial, at times, incendiary on social media and he focuses on issues like anti-immigrant rhetoric in his victory speech, he attacked Ossoff.
"He's going to have millions and millions of dollars pouring in here from his New York and California donors, the political establishment, the mainstream media, and the global elites. They're going to be working overtime to get him reelect." Now on social media last night, Ossoff, who is Jewish, called Collins Quote, a notorious
bigot anti-Semite and extremist, R.O.Bolley reporting. Whether you rent, own, or are looking to purchase, it's getting harder to afford a home in most U.S. city, so that's according to a new report from Harvard University. NPR's Marissa J. Lang reports home sales are down, vacancies are up, and city and state governments are innovating to prevent homelessness."
There are a lot of reasons, homes aren't selling like they used to, according to a new report from the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies, but the main one is cost. Researchers found that over the past year, the job market has slowed, debt has grown, and the cost of housing has become a bigger financial burden on most families. Even though more housing is going up, it's too expensive for many of the people who need
it, the report says. Some state and local governments are trying to free up housing for more people by loosening restrictions that prevent homes from being built in commercial districts or as add-ons to existing homes, but researchers say there's only so much states can do without more help from the federal government.
Marissa J. Lang and PR News. This is NPR. The chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee says today's confirmation hearing for the next director of national intelligence is still on. Our Consul Republic and Senator Tom Cotton says the hearing for J. Clayton will proceed
unless President Trump tells Clayton not to appear or withdraws his nomination. Trump wrote earlier today he will keep the acting director of national intelligence in place, unless Congress passes a voting bill that he wants. The voting bill has bipartisan opposition, so does the acting director of national intelligence. A new study finds that patients who modified their diet and exercise during their 50s
have fewer diseases in their 70s, and Pierre's Allison Aubrey says the results are from a 20 year follow-up to a landmark diabetes prevention study.
An estimated 115 million adults in the U.S. have pre-diabetes, and it's well known that lifestyle
changes can help reverse metabolic disease. Now a new study shows that people who began exercising more and eating better in their 50s were up to 43% less likely to develop two or more serious chronic conditions such as kidney disease, heart failure, and COPD. Dr. Marcel Salive of the National Institute on Aging is the study author.
“I think it's very surprising to people that a modest amount of exercise and dietary changes”
can lead to these kinds of benefits. The research found lifestyle changes were more effective than medication at sending off the chronic diseases. I was in Aubrey and Pierre News. And I'm Core of a Coleman NPR News from Washington. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery.
Sometimes it's about really big things, but most times, the little mysteries are the best. Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
I don't know what I've never seen this happen, this is true.
