The Supreme Court handed a win to Republicans Friday by ruling the political parties and
“party committees can buy campaign ads at the same discounted rates as the candidates, and”
pairs Maham Javada has more. The Justice is cleared the way for parties and party committees to pay lower candidate-level adrates.
The court wrote that the discount is necessary to quote "reach the electorate in the critical
weeks leading up to the midterms. It's a fight that began in March when the Federal Communications Commission expanded who could receive the lowest rates. Those previously only went to candidates. Some Democrats, including Georgia Senator John Assoff, challenged the new policy.
While a lower court agreed with the Democrats, the Supreme Court overturned that ruling. This is a win for the Republican Party, which holds far more money in its party committees than an individual candidate accounts. Maham Javada and PR News." President Trump says he'll host a Chinese leader-schuishing ping for a state-dinner in Washington
later this month, as NPR's Emily Fang reports.
“He was planning for the trip has been unusually delayed for bilateral meetings of this”
level.
For weeks, it was unclear whether China's leader would get a state-dinner, frustrating
Chinese officials who had made planning trips to Washington over the summer. Xi Jinping will be at the White House September 24, among the issues that two countries will need to address are, and ongoing trade war, potential rare earth export controls from China and U.S. sanctions on Iran. When taking questions from reporters about the dinner, Trump boasted about a new hellaport
bill on White House grounds he is planning to use to receive Xi Jinping. "We're going to do great things with China. We've been doing very well with China. China took advantage of us for years." But that he said was the fall of previous administrations.
Emily Fang and PR News, Washington. The Lindsey Clancy trial ended in a mistrial Friday, but the case has led to more public discussion about maternal health. Clancy's defense team argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her three children and attempted suicide.
PR's reader-chatter Jeep has more on our story. Postpartum psychosis is an extremely rare condition, affecting only one or two in a thousand new moms. Post healthcare providers may come across just one or two patients in their lifetime. And then, even general psychiatrists know little about the condition and how to treat it.
It's not listed in the diagnostic and statistical manual of the DSM, which providers used to diagnose mental health disorders. Prairie needles psychiatrists, like Dr. Nancy Buyer at UMass Chan Medical School, want to change that.
“Having postpartum psychosis recognized in the DSM, I think is an absolute important step.”
Step towards helping providers accurately diagnose patients and treat them before the condition escalates, read the chatty and peer news. And your listening to NPR news. A Russian drone hit Ukraine's Security Service headquarters in Keevan, Friday. The attack wounded at least nine people and comes as U.S. envoy's prepare for diplomatic

Genetically modified pig kidneys have helped keep two dialysis patients alive long enough to receive human organs.
That's according to a company developing pig organs for human transplants. NPR's Rob Stein has more. E-genesis, a Cambridge Massachusetts biotech company, says five kidney failure patients have now received pig kidneys at the company genetically modified to make them work in humans. The kidneys functioned for at least eight months in three of the patients.
Two of them were then able to receive human kidneys.
This marked the first time genetically modified pig kidneys have kept kidney failure
patients alive long enough to receive a human transplant, a so-called bridge to transplant. Several companies are developing genetically engineered pig organs in the hopes of helping alleviate the organ shortage. Rob Stein, NPR News. It's now week one for college football.
