Consider This from NPR

Israel’s invasion in Lebanon is rapidly widening and could outlast the war in Iran.

People in southern Lebanon are living through a war within a war.

The war is of course the U-S Israeli campaign against Iran.

The war within Lebanon started with a series of strikes from the militant group Hezbollah.

They launched rockets and drones from Lebanon into Israel.

Israel responded with strikes in Lebanon.

And with that, a conflict that has flared on and off for decades reignited.

What's Israel doing in southern Lebanon?

At the heart of the war against Iran is a question about the fate of the Iranian government. Adrian Ma speaks with Ramtin Arablouei, host of the NPR podcast Throughline, about what Iranians in the United States want from regime change in Iran - and the history of why.

Why some Iranian Americans back the war on their country of origin

Americans are keeping their driver’s licenses longer than
ever and driving well into their old age. But how long is too long? And who
decides when to take away the keys?

NPR’s transportation correspondent, Joel Rose, has been
looking into those questions and found that there is no single national standard
when it comes to older adults and driving. And the laws vary greatly from state
to state. 

Often, the decision on whether it is time to take away the
keys is left to family members. And that can be difficult when the driver
resists.

Who decides when you're too old to drive?

Anytime tensions are high in the Middle East, oil prices can
be expected to spike. So a war in the region is pretty much guaranteed to
mean higher prices at the pump. And that is particularly painful for anyone
whose living depends on what it costs to fill up.

Host Scott Detrow speaks with NPR’s economics correspondent
Scott Horsley about how the U.S. economy is faring, almost a month since the U.S. and Israel launched the first strikes against Iran.

Plus, we hear from American business owners whose companies
are already being impacted by higher fuel prices – a long-haul trucker based in
Ohio, and a pair of brothers who run a lobster distribution operation from Long
Island, New York.

Oil Prices Are Up and American Workers Are Feeling the Pinch

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has a new book.

Unlike much of his public speaking of late – like his record-breaking 25-hour Senate floor speech – it isn’t directly about the politics of the current moment.

It’s an argument for civic ideals – for ten virtues he sees as critical to American life, like agency and patriotism, but also vulnerability and humility.

What does that mean for his political future? Sen. Booker addresses that question among others in our interview.

Cory Booker wants Democrats to 'Stand' and fight

Airline travelers across the U.S. have been experiencing long wait times because of the partial government shutdown. TSA workers are calling off sick or quitting altogether because they haven’t been paid. Now, ICE agents have been deployed to some airports to mitigate wait times. What role could the agency play as officials in Washington continue to spar over government funding? And what could the next few weeks look like for travelers? A former TSA security chief weighs in.

What could the role of ICE be at airports?

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts has voted to approve the design for a new commemorative gold coin.

On one side, an eagle in flight – on the other, a portrait of President Trump, staring directly at the viewer.

Federal law prohibits living people from being featured on U.S. coins – though the Trump administration believes the Treasury Department has authority here.

Moreover, it breaks a norm that dates to the beginning of the country.

Caroline Turco, a curator at the Money Museum of the American Numismatic Association, explains.

The Trump gold coin is not normal

The Israeli government has said it has the ability to find and assassinate top leaders in the Iranian government. But that strategy may end up hurting any effort to actually end the war, says Yossi Melman, co-author of the book “Spies Against Armageddon.”

Some countries have bet big on EVs

Dolores Huerta built a lasting movement with Cesar Chavez. And after waiting decades, she has decided to share the story of how Chavez abused her.

Dolores Huerta told the New York Times that she felt pressured to have sex with Cesar Chavez, while on a work trip in 1960. 

Six years later — after they had founded the union for farmworkers– she says Chavez raped her. 

Shortly after the Times story came out, Huerta spoke to Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa. Hinojosa shared what she learned with NPR's Ailsa Chang.
