Opening arguments begin today in Manhattan: the People of the State of New York vs Donald J. Trump. As the House passed foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over the weekend, it tucked in a bill that threatens the future of Tiktok in the U.S. And the U.S. Supreme Court takes up homelessness – specifically, the question of whether people can be punished for sleeping outside.

The Sunday Story: Off The Mark, an NPR investigation into America's historical markers
Historical markers dot the American landscape. They are on the sides of roads, in parks, rest areas, in the middle of nowhere. They purport to offer a glimpse into the past, marking a moment or place of significance worth remembering. But a year-long investigation by NPR's Laura Sullivan found some of these markers present a fractured and confused telling of the American story. Some share humor and joy but many present a version of history that's been distorted or outright fictionalized with offensive lies.

Customer Reviews
Always interesting, informative
In today’s show (4/21), Harper’s Ferry is in the state of WEST Virginia.
The bias is exhausting
I have, for decades, listened to NPR for my morning news. It seems as if those days are ending. Where is the news? It is mostly highly curated segments that are basically opinion pieces. NPR, you are dangerously close to being what most of us hate about Fox “News.”
Too biased for an independent thinker
I have listened to this show for multiple years and I try to have an open mind on every topic. The show has become so biased that it will completely skip important stories because they think it may shed a negative light on the left. I’m not sure how our country has gotten to a point that this is acceptable for a reputable news agency. I will continue a search for an unbiased news recap to give me the facts and let me decide for myself where my opinion lies.
