Was this NBA betting scandal inevitable?

For many years, the far right has been the most lethal and persistent source of domestic terrorism in the U.S. 

But the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk last month and attacks against immigration enforcement efforts have fueled a talking point for Republicans about concerns over left-wing political violence. 

The political motivations behind these attacks are still unclear, but one study says that violence from the left has been the greater threat so far this year.

NPR’s domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef looks into whether this claim is correct.

The Trump administration says left-wing terrorism in the US is on the rise. Is it?

It's getting harder to get away with murder in Philadelphia.

Violent crime has fallen sharply -- like it has in many other cities.

And Philadelphia police are now solving homicides at the highest rate since 1984.

There's a connection there -- but there's also plenty more to the story.

Philadelphia Inquirer crime reporter Ellie Rushing shows what her team has found.

The Trump administration's push to expand immigration enforcement -- as part of its deportation efforts -- has created job opportunities in small towns and cities.

We head to one of them -- Folkston, Georgia, a community of about 2,800 residents..

That number will soon swell as immigrant detainees fill up a growing ICE detention center at the edge of town. 

The center is in a old prison run by the private prison corporation, the GEO Group, and is set to become the nation’s largest detention facility.We hear about the hopes and fears of the town's residents.

What is needed to keep the ceasefire on track?

America’s farmers are getting walloped by the federal government shutdown.

The closing of government offices means they’ve lost access to data and loans that help keep them afloat — 

Then there’s healthcare. More than a quarter of the nation’s farmers rely on the Affordable Care Act…along with the subsidies at the heart of the shutdown fight.

And add to that — the fact that farmers’ finances are taking a hit from bottom lines are also being slashed due to President Trump’s tariffs.

For generations – the federal government has worked to support American farmers. 

But as they lose access to vital loans and information.. as the trade war cuts into their bottom line… And as many face skyrocketing healthcare costs…that support seems to have all but disappeared.

Farmers already had it bad. The shutdown made it worse.

Is the AI boom an AI bubble? Wall Street and Silicon Valley increasingly think so.

This week JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said "a lot of assets" appear to be "entering bubble territory."

Earlier this month Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said the AI market was an "industrial bubble" where stock prices were "disconnected from the fundamentals" of their businesses.

But big tech shows little sign of pausing its massive investments in artificial intelligence. So how is it that A-I could change the world ... and is also maybe in a bubble?

Stanford economist Jared Bernstein, a former White House chief economic adviser and co-author of a recent New York Times op-ed on the subject, explains.

We may be in an AI bubble. What does that mean?

“A New and Beautiful day is rising.” That’s what President Trump told a gathering of world leaders this week.

He was speaking of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas…meant to pave the way to a permanent end to the war that has left much of the Gaza strip in rubble. Now, Trump said, the rebuilding begins. 

There are huge questions about what comes after the ceasefire. Who will govern Gaza? Will Hamas disarm? When will Israeli troops fully withdraw? And before any of that, there’s a more urgent challenge — getting food and medicine to the people in Gaza.

The fighting in Gaza has stopped. But dire conditions persist

At President Trump’s public urging, the Justice Department has brought criminal charges against some of his perceived political enemies. NPR Justice Correspondent Carrie Johnson explains that for those targeted, a prosecution can mean steep financial and emotional costs, even if they ultimately win in court.
