This week, the popular prediction market known as Kalshi banned former Congressman George Santos for life and fined him more than 70-thousand dollars — after he engaged in insider trading on the site. 

That came as no shock to NPR technology correspondent Bobby Allyn. Earlier this year, Allyn broke the story that Santos was under investigation by the Justice Department for manipulating the market about whether he would or would not attend this year’s State of the Union address.

For Reporter’s Notebook, Allyn talks about how he broke the story and the fallout from it.

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.

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