Live from NPR News and Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
President Trump says he will give certain people enrolled in affordable care act plans
“$500 rebates as NPR Salina Simmons' Duffin Reports Administration is aiming to use”
a pool of money that's usually sent to community groups to help people choose a plan and sign up for coverage. Republicans in Congress and President Trump let COVID-era subsidies expire in the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces at the end of last year. On average, premium costs doubled. Even a middle income middle-aged person is probably paying thousands more than they were
last year. Cynthia Cox is with KFF, a non-partisan health research organization. This $500 might do something, but it is small in comparison to the amount that they're having to pay for health insurance premiums. He says it's not clear if the Trump administration has the legal authority to send
these payments and points out they won't go to the millions of people who lost coverage as a result of the premium spikes. Salina Simmons' Duffin and PR News In appeals court, has upheld a block on President Trump's order to limit mail voting.
“The decision comes even as the Supreme Court's already considering the same case, and”
his states are beginning to send out ballots for midterm elections. Under the plan, the postal service won't deliver mail ballots from states that don't submit a list of voters. A new federal lawsuit filed today argues federal agencies are violating the rights of Americans who peacefully observe immigration enforcement.
And PR's a due-joffy block reports lawsuit alleges the pattern is playing out across the country. The lawsuit is brought by the non-profit common cause, which has members who are observers and a Minnesota man who gave up following ICE vehicles after he says he was photographed by federal officers threatened with criminal charges and had his global entry status temporarily
revoked.
While other lawsuits have also argued that federal officers are violating the first amendment
rights of observers, this suit alleges it's due to a national policy and is a pattern happening all over.
“The federal agency's named in the complaint, the Department of Justice, the Department”
of Homeland Security, and the FBI, either declined NPR's request to comment or did not respond. Jude Jaffy-Block and PR News Jimmy Kimmel says an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Taloreco won't err on TV under pressure from the FCC, it'll now err on YouTube instead.
Stephen Colbert showed to the same thing in February. The Trump administration has been enforcing equal time rules for political candidates which traditionally didn't apply to talk shows. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes declined in August to their slowest annual pace in more than a year as home shoppers grappled with rising mortgage rates and home prices.
This is the third straight monthly decline, meanwhile the median sales price increased 1.6%
in August from a year earlier to more than 429,000 dollars. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. Ryanair's CEO disputes claims that a passenger was partly sucked out of an airplane window in July. The incident happened when a window shattered after take off in a flight from Greece to Germany,
and this has said the passengers' head and shoulders were pulled out of the craft, but CEO Michael O'Leary argues no part of his body exited the plane and that the passenger deserves compensation, but not "millions." So I'm educators and Vermont, trying to reimagine the college experience as more people questioned the cost of a college degree from Vermont Public Liam Elder Connor's reports.
The Greenway Institute in Montpire will offer just one degree, engineering. This founder's and advisors include tech executives, a former state education secretary, and a NASA engineer.
Students will get hands-on experience, literally building things in class, and for the second
half of their education, they'll get real engineering jobs. The college will also scale back on amenities to save money. There won't be a gym and students will cook their own meals. Mark Somerville is Greenway's founding president. So we'd like to talk about Greenway as being a place where students will take out their
own trash. Somerville says the college plans to welcome its first class next fall. For NPR News, I'm Liam Elder Connor's in Montpire, Vermont. The NFL's San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are playing in Australia tonight. The 49ers have been there for several days, but the Rams just arrived.
It'll spend about as much time traveling to and from Melbourne as in the city itself. The Rams say that allows players to keep their sleep schedule. Listening to NPR News, from Washington. This week on Consider This, the researcher who just resigned from Anthropic, why he believes AI is a threat to humanity.
Very soon, these things are going to be so capable that if they decide to go rogue, it's not going to be good. Plus, his view of what guardrails could look like this week on Consider This from NPR.
