Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
New reporting contradicts what the White House told Press, traveling with President Trump
“during a recent trip to Turkey, and if your Stammerke reports, that may have left reporters”
vulnerable. President Trump boarded Air Force One is usual, but the Washington Post reports he was then smuggled off the plane in a catering truck and flew on an entirely different aircraft. NPR hasn't confirmed the report, but journalists and White House aides who unknowingly flew on the decoy plane, were firmly instructed to keep their window shades lowered.
Later, talking to reporters, Trump never let on.
"Are you aware of any credible fire on against her?" "I haven't read all the time. I'm number one on the list before you, but if I go to you go, right?" "But there's been a minute and a half, perhaps something you want to change. Professions."
Kamerke, NPR News It's been a year since President Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., some worry it's normalizing armed, uniformed troops in American cities in non-emergency situations. And here's Katla on store of Hezmour.
“President Trump declared a crime emergency in D.C. last August, despite violent crime being”
at a 30-year low, and deployed the National Guard. Since then, the number of armed troops patrolling the city has gone from around 800 to nearly 5000 from more than 20 different states. Despite that, there has been a 3% increase in violent crime in the past year, according to city police data.
Opportunistic crimes like theft and vehicle breakings have continued to decrease. Trump has repeatedly touted the deployment as a success, claiming falsely that there is "almost no crime" in D.C. now.
The deployment currently has an estimated cost of around $3 million per day.
It's been extended until inauguration day 29. At Lonstorf, N.P.R. News, Washington. The University of Michigan says it will do away with grades for freshmen in the fall of 2027, instead, first semester classes will be "pass fail." And here's a listenedwardly reports, it's an effort to e-students mental health struggles
on campus. The new pilot policy hopes to acclimate new students to the demands of college, allow exploration into different classes, and gets students not to worry about how a low grade freshman year might have long-term consequences. Other colleges like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT have similar grading
policies for freshmen.
How college is grade students varies greatly?
Read College in Oregon records letter grades, but they're only shared with students upon request. At Harvard, faculty voted to give out fewer grades to try and battle what they say is high grade inflation. All of this comes at a time that stress on campus remains quite high.
In a 2024 survey about 70% of college students reported struggling with mental health. Elisnaut-Wernie and Pianus. Listening to NPR news from Washington. Arizona's Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs picked a Republican-turned-independent as her running mate in a tough, real-action campaign.
The ticket with former Mesa Mayor John Giles aims to appeal to Republicans and conservative independence in a state that was once a Republican stronghold. Giles, a critic of President Trump, has endorsed Democrats including Kamala Harris, and is placed on the ticket, "could attract" Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints members, a key voting block.
Many church members are imbivalent about Trump. In the Republican Governor's race, the nominee is far-right Congressman Andy Biggs. Dogs might be able to read people's emotions by looking at their faces. That's according to a recent study in the journal "I Science", and Pianus Katie Rittle has more.
Previous studies have shown that dogs can broadly interpret human emotions, like happiness or sadness. This study looked at how well dogs can sense more subtle human feelings, like the difference between anger and fear or happiness and neutrality. Researchers trained dogs to sit still while they examined their brain activity through an MRI and showed them pictures of human faces.
The test showed that the dogs registered different brain activity for these different emotions. Researchers used 14 dogs for this experiment. They pointed out that not all dogs may have this sophisticated emotional intelligence. Katie Rittle and Pianus
