The town of Primm, Nevada was once a thriving tourist destination.

Located on the Nevada-California border, the town has seen a sharp decline in tourism and has become like a ghost town, due in part to the proliferation of casinos across the country.

Taking gambles on Primm, Nevada

It's been more than one week since twin earthquakes devastated northern Venezuela.

As of Wednesday, the death toll from the earthquakes had soared to nearly 2,300 people, with more than 11,000 people injured, according to Venezuela's government.

But behind the staggering numbers are the stories of people trying to pick up the pieces of their lives after a devastating event.

NPR follows people as they search for loved ones in the aftermath of the earthquake.

According to recent financial disclosures, President Trump made more than $1 billion from his crypto ventures in 2025.

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Constitution guarantees automatic birthright citizenship to virtually all children born in the United States.

It was one of the most closely watched cases of this Supreme Court term -- and is considered a rebuke of President Trump's goal to end birthright citizenship.

But the Court is divided. We break down the ruling and how the justices are thinking about the Trump administration's arguments.

In a rebuke of President Trump, the Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship

Today, the Supreme Court ruled on two cases that deal with major political battles. 

The first deals with mail-in voting, which President Trump has criticized for years. 

The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later.

In another ruling, the High Court ruled that Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, can stay in her job for now.

Both rulings are considered a loss for President Trump. But are they the final word on these two issues?

NPR often relies on reporters going into dangerous places to get the story. It can mean covering a war, natural catastrophes, or highly contagious, deadly diseases — like the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that has killed hundreds of people so far.

For this week’s Reporter’s Notebook, we hear from Emmet Livingstone about how he balances the risk of reporting in an area where Ebola is spreading.
