Consider This from NPR

What do we know about what's happening in Iran?

The country has been rocked by days of large antigovernment protests. First, sparked by the crippling economy, now anger at the theocratic regime. 

More than 500 people have been killed, according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. NPR is unable to independently confirm that figure.

And now President Trump is considering whether to weigh in – and how. 

Sanctions. Cyber attacks. Military strikes. 

President Trump keeps suggesting the United States may get involved. If so, when and how?

Reporting on the invasion of Venezuela

President Trump raised eyebrows when he told the New York Times that there was only one thing that could stop him on the global stage: his own morality.

So what do Americans think about the moral standing of the United States? Well, a new NPR-Ipsos poll finds Americans still want the U.S. to be a moral leader in the world — but far fewer think it actually is. 

Senior Political Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro shares more from the poll, and Senior International Affairs Correspondent Jackie Northam helps make sense of what it means globally.

Poll finds Americans concerned as Trump accelerates global intervention

"Make America great again."

That phrase has been in our political ecosystem for 10 years now.

But it's never been clear what time period in American history President Trump was referencing?

Is it the 1980s? Or maybe the 1950s?

What about further back, say the 1890s?

As we enter the second year of Trump’s second term, is a 19th century presidency emerging? For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Is the Trump foreign policy back to the future?

Today in Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer allegedly shot and killed a woman.

ICE says she was shot in her car after attempting to run over immigration agents. 

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the woman’s actions a domestic act of terrorism. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the narrative that the shooting was done in self-defense “garbage.”

Inside the Jan. 6 Capitol riot: Part 2 of 2

Inside the Jan. 6 Capitol riot: Part 1 of 2

As of Wednesday afternoon, more than 12 million people have cast ballots in the 2022 midterms, according to the United States Elections Project.

Hidden in that number are hints about the effect disinformation might be having on voting by mail, whether new voting restrictions are depressing turnout and how motivated Americans are to cast ballots this year.

NPR's Miles Parks breaks down the national early voting picture, and Sam Gringlas with WABE in Atlanta, talks about the role early voting has played in that crucial midterm state.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
