Consider This from NPR

Lindsay Clancy is currently on trial for killing her three children.

Prosecutors say the murders were intentional, but her defense team says she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis -- a condition that does not have a distinct diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

That's the handbook used to identify mental health conditions, so patients often have a hard time getting proper care.

The case has put a spotlight on maternal mental health and how its treated by the public and healthcare professionals. What does it reveal?

WBUR’s Deborah Becker contributed reporting to this episode.

It was produced by Megan Lim and Karen Zamora, with audio engineering by Éowyn Fain, Hannah Gluvna and Ted Mebane. Our director is Jonas Adams.

It was edited by Justine Kenin and Tinbete Ermyas.

Saying goodbye to Dolly Parton

The United States was scheduled to impose new 50 percent tariffs on Canada, hitting about $20 billion worth of goods.

But then, about a week ago, President Trump took to Truth Social to exclaim — with capital letters and exclamation points — that Canada and the U.S. had reached a trade deal.

That deal, it turned out, was not final. Three days later, Canada walked away from the negotiating table.

Trump then imposed the new tariffs he’d originally promised on many Canadian products. And to threaten even more tariffs on Canadian autos.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada won’t back down — and promised to match U.S. tariffs quote “dollar for dollar.”
But what’s the view from inside his country, and who is going to pay the price?

The world leader saying no to President Trump

For years, President Trump has been openly criticizing multilateral organizations like NATO and the United Nations.

Criticisms like these were once rare from American presidents, since the US had such a prominent role in these organizations and the order they brought to global affairs.

How might this shift affect how countries deal with conflict and one another?

A veteran political reporter shares the lessons she learned hearing from swing voters

Cody and Kaleigh Brendle grew up just inland of the Jersey Shore. The siblings, who both have disabilities, came of age knowing it is their right to live, learn and work in their community.

Not long ago, millions of people like them could have been segregated in institutions. Then in 1999, in a case known as Olmstead, the Supreme Court ruled states must serve adults with disabilities in their communities when possible. Now, the Trump administration is trying to reverse course. 

NPR’s Jonaki Mehta spent time with the Brendles, who share what it means to live as disabled people integrated in their community.
