Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lynda Kenyan.
President Trump is saying thank you to the U.S. Supreme Court for allowing his ballroom construction to continue, at least for now. I just want to thank the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice, and that we have a rolling
“that it's perceived when they say "preceed," I think that's a good thing.”
That's a good thing. Nothing's easy today. The president is referring to a temporary order signed by Chief Justice John Roberts, letting work continue as the Court considers an emergency appeal. The administration was challenging lower-core rulings that would have forced a halt
to above-ground construction of the project, because the president did not first get congressional approval for it. The president was speaking in South Carolina campaigning on behalf of Darleen Graham for U.S. Senate. Military Source tells NPR the Navy is considering renaming an aircraft carrier under construction for President Trump.
NPR's Quill Lawrence reports it was first named for Black World War II Hero, Daris Miller. In 1941, Doris or Dorri Miller was working in the mess hall of a ship under attack in Pearl Harbor.
“He dragged the wounded to safety and then down two Japanese planes with an anti-aircraft gun”
he'd never been trained to fire.
He died at war two years later. Dorri Miller died in a line of duty at age 24. He's the first Black man to receive the Navy Cross. Kyle Bibby with the Black Veterans Project is outraged by reports that the aircraft carrier might be named for President Trump instead of Miller.
The Navy should be focusing on supporting current sailors serving and fighting in this war rather than finding ways to honor the politicians who actually started this war. A spokesman told NPR the Navy has no announcement at this time. Quill Lawrence NPR News. The social media platform TikTok and its affiliates have agreed to a settlement with the
Department of Justice. As NPR's John Ruitt reports, the company was accused of violating a federal law protecting children's online privacy.
“The Department of Justice had alleged that TikTok collected stored and processed vast amounts”
of data from its users, including millions of American children under 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. The Department of Justice says since the complaint was filed, TikTok has undergone significant changes to aspects of its business, including ownership and management. The Trump administration brokered a deal for a US version of TikTok to be spun off from
its Chinese owner bite dance earlier this year and put in the hands of American investors. The Department of Justice says TikTok has since implemented extensive measures to strengthen safeguards for young users, John Ruitt and PR News.
After the terms of the deal, TikTok and its affiliates have agreed to pay $400 million
to settle the litigation brought by the Justice Department in 2024. You're listening to NPR News. The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival will not be held next year in Manchester, Tennessee. Justin Varney from Member Station WPLN has the story. The past couple years have been rough for Bonnaroo.
The main issue has been rain. News caused organizers to cancel mid-fest in 2025, torrential rains again this year caused delays in some cancellations. In a social media post, organizers said that they are putting Bonnaroo on pause for next summer citing bad luck.
Organizers also gave a nod to reality. They said that the festival market has changed substantially over the past decade, especially for camping events like Bonnaroo, and that it's been difficult getting people to buy into the camping culture and experience, but they are hoping for a comeback in 2028. For NPR News, I'm Justin Barney and Nashville.
The festival has hosted the acts such as Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Radiohead. Enrollment in the biggest federally funded food aid program in the U.S. has dropped by more than 13% in a 12-month span. That's a steeper decline than the government had predicted, and it comes as work requirements and other provisions kick in under President Trump's big beautiful bill act.
The losing coverage on those who are losing coverage under the supplemental nutrition assistance program or SNAP include people who do not meet tightening requirements to qualify or have missed certain deadlines. The Department of Agriculture finds the steepest decline in Arizona, which has seen a 12-month drop of more than 50%.
