"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
Vice President Vance is on his way to Switzerland for talks with U.S. and Iranian negotiators on the ceasefire deal.
“You an envoy, a U.S. envoy, Steve Woodcock and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner,”
are already there. Pakistan's mediating the talks had to be held tomorrow, but his NPR's deal had a deal reports from Islamabad, it comes as tensions escalate yet again. The statement came, even as Pakistan's interior minister, Mahsa Nukvy, met the Iranian foreign minister, Nukvy's previous visits which revived talks between the U.S. and Iran.
It also came as Iran insisted it had shudded the straight of her murs, accusing the U.S. of not stopping its ally Israel of bombing Lebanon, right as reports, at least 20 people were killed. With the U.S. insisted, the straight remained open. Despite the tensions Iran's foreign minister's spokesman, said a delegation was heading
to Switzerland. D.H.D. and P.R. News, Islamabad." The Justice Department released a memo this week that quietly calls into question, long-standing civil rights protections for Americans with disabilities, and here's Corey Turner has more.
“"For decades, the courts and Republican and Democratic administrations alike have agreed when”
it comes to serving Americans with disabilities, states have to provide support in home or in the communities where they live. Institutionalization should be a last resort. But a new Justice Department memo argues there is no integration mandate forcing states to provide these local targeted services."
Pushback from the disability community was swift. Advocates warn the memo could bring a return to what was once common practice, de facto segregation of Americans with disabilities in nursing homes and large institutions. The Justice Department did not respond to an NPR request for comment. Corey Turner and P.R. News."
Voters head to the polls in Utah next week for primary elections, several candidates without ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will challenge former Congressman Ben McAdams, a young LDS Democrat. They're competing for a house seat in the state's new blue-leaning district. And here's Mohammed Javid has more.
“The Democratic primary next week, Bits McAdams, who some delegates view as "do conservative"”
against three more liberal Democrats. None of whom is Mormon. Matthew Bowman is a chair of Mormon studies at Claremont Graduate University.
"Some of the interesting to see how that turns out, and if someone who has never been
LDS can actually win as a Democrat, which is a doubly hard thing to do. In Utah, I've been both of those at the same time, so that'll be a convincing answer in carving out how Utah politics might change over the next couple generations." Bowman says that the city's demographics are changing. That and a blue-leaning congressional district have changed the way the city views politics.
Mohammed Javid and B.R. News. "This is NPR." Ties, mugs, and cards are in order this weekend because tomorrow is Father's Day. In American tradition, that's rooted in more than dollars, as NPR's Amy Held reports. Prices are up, wages are down, but people are still spending on dad.
In record amounts, in fact, the National Retail Federation projects nearly $28 billion total spent on the day. Consumers say they'll pull back in other areas to make it work, budgeting around $230 on average, withoutings, clothing, and gift cards topping the list. In American, Mom is credited with coming up with the idea more than a century ago.
Sonora Dodd of Spokane wanted to honor her husband and her own dad, a widowed civil war veteran who raised six kids.
Inspiring Washington State to first recognize the day in 1910, more than 50 years later,
the third Sunday in June was reserved for Dad after President Johnson signed a proclamation. And in 1972, President Nixon made Father's Day a permanent national holiday. Amy Held and PR News. In the U.S. Ford's F-150 pickup truck is the best selling vehicle. But a new report finds it's not the one that gets driven the most.
I.C. cars looked at the odometer readings from more than 2 million, three-year-old vehicles that were sold last year. The auto search engine found that the cars with the most miles put on them were practical family cars with self-charging hybrid vehicles, such as the original Prius, driven even more than traditional gas vehicles.
I'd Janine Herbst and BR News in Washington. This is our glass. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery. Sometimes 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. Mysteries of every size each week, this American life, wherever you get your podcasts.
