    The News Roundup For May 1, 2026

    The Supreme Court this week struck down a voting map in Louisiana that created a second majority-Black district, ruling it an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In doing so, the majority also struck an enormous blow to the landmark Voting Rights Act, and fueled GOP redistricting efforts before the midterms. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth headed to Congress, where things got testy as lawmakers grilled him over the war with Iran. Pentagon officials put a price tag on the conflict so far: $25 billion. And gas prices hit a four year high, with a national average of $4.30 a gallon. Federal prosecutors formally charged the alleged gunman at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with attempting to assassinate the president. He will remain in custody despite an appeal for a pre-trial release. We cover the most important stories from around the country in the domestic hour of the News Roundup. And, in global news, the United States and Iran extend their dueling blockades in the Strait of Hormuz as President Trump rejects the Islamic Republic’s proposal to reopen the critical waterway. Israel ramps up attacks on southern Lebanon, while claiming it did not break a temporary U-S brokered ceasefire. And uncertainty over the global oil supply causes markets to spike once again, the same week energy companies report massive profits.

    The Fate Of The Farm Bill

    American farmers are being squeezed. Tariffs are raising the cost of equipment and services. And now the war in Iran is driving up the cost of fertilizer and fuel. And the Farm bill — the sweeping, traditionally bipartisan legislation that shapes everything from crop insurance to food aid – hasn’t been reauthorized since 2018. Next week, the House will try again. What’s in the bill and why the coalition that supported it for years seems to be falling apart. Find more of our programs online.

    Has RFK Delivered On MAHA Promises?

    In 2024, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a presidential hopeful running under the banner of “making America healthy again.” Among his most fervent supporters: vaccine skeptics and cynics, nutrition-focused parents and anti-pesticide activists. After dropping out of the presidential contest and endorsing Donald Trump, Kennedy emerged as the president’s foremost pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Now, many in the so-called “MAHA coalition” are disappointed with Secretary Kennedy for what they describe as a failure to deliver key reforms to the nation’s health and food systems. And, we discuss what the rise in measles and other infectious diseases means about the state of our public health. Secretary Kennedy has repeatedly downplayed recent measles outbreaks and given deeply mixed messages on vaccination. Find more of our programs online.

    How AI Is Transforming Our Cities

    Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how we run cities. It has the potential to make life more affordable, efficient, and safe. But with little oversight and policy, what are the risks to residents? As tech changes our communities, it’s often mayors who are leading the way. More than 500 of them are meeting in Madrid to share their best ideas as part of this year’s Bloomberg CityLab, a global cities summit from Bloomberg Philanthropies in partnership with the Aspen Institute … and 1A is there. The mayors of San Antonio, Texas, Nairobi, Kenya and Bogotá, Colombia join us for a discussion about how local leaders are using artificial intelligence to aid them in running their cities — and how they are balancing residents’ concerns about privacy, the environmental impact, and what an increased use of AI could mean for the job market. They’re among 10 founding mayors of the Mayors AI Forum launched Tuesday in Madrid by Bloomberg Philanthropies and Johns Hopkins University. “Mayors have often been early leaders on global challenges – even as national and international responses lagged,” said Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies and Bloomberg L.P., and three-term mayor of New York City. “Now, the Mayors AI Forum will help put them – and the communities they serve – at the forefront of conversations about the future of AI.” Find more of our programs online.

    'If You Can Keep It': What The Wealth Gap Means For Democracy

    A growing number of states are looking at implementing a wealth tax to fund social services. California is among them, with a billionaire tax set to be included on its November ballot. And this month, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, and Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul introduced a proposed tax on luxury second homes in the city. In March, Washington passed its first ever income tax – which has already been met with a legal challenge. All this comes as the wealth gap in the U.S. grows to its widest point in three decades – and only looks set to keep increasing. In this installment of “If You Can Keep It,” we look at how tax codes have contributed to a growing inequality in the country, how to fix it, and what this wealth gap means for the health of our democracy.

    The News Roundup For April 24, 2026

    President Donald Trump is giving Iran a short window to unify behind an offer for peace in the Middle East after negotiations between Tehran and Washington recently broke down — or the ceasefire he extended Tuesday ends. Donald Trump’s labor secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, is leaving the agency amidst accusations of misconduct. She’s now the third cabinet member to leave during the second Trump administration. Elsewhere, Virginia voters approved a new congressional map on Tuesday that could help Democrats pick up seats in the House during the midterms later this year. But a state judge blocked the map from being certified just a day after its passage. And, in global news, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Islamabad, Pakistan, tonight for another round of peace talks with the U.S. A top Trump administration envoy floated the idea to FIFA this week to replace Iran with Italy at this summer’s World Cup. The swap was likely suggested as an effort to repair ties between President Donald Trump and Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni amid rumors they’ve fallen out over the presidents attack on Pope Leo XIV. The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with the Democratic Republic of Congo to send as many as eleven hundred Afghan refugees there, including more than 400 children.

  7. Thousands Of Americans Are Set To Lose Access To HIV Medication And Care

    Thousands Of Americans Are Set To Lose Access To HIV Medication And Care

    Just a few decades ago, human immunodeficiency virus, also known as HIV, was a death sentence for those who contracted it. However, over the past 35 years, more effective medication and widespread access to AIDS drug assistance programs have helped those with the virus live longer and healthier lives. But in the coming months, tens of thousands of people living with HIV in the U.S. could lose access to that medication. That’s because states around the country are trying to save money by making cuts to programs that pay for HIV meds and care. In March, more than 16,000 people lost coverage when Florida slashed ADAP eligibility overnight. Weeks later, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law allocating $31 million to keep thousands of those who lost coverage on their meds. But that money is only slated to last through June. And this isn’t just a problem happening in Florida. Some 23 states and Washington, D.C. have implemented or are considering implementing cuts to their own HIV medication and care programs to help balance their budgets. We sit down with a panel of experts to discuss. Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

  8. Breaking The Silence Surrounding Sex And Disability

    Breaking The Silence Surrounding Sex And Disability

    More than 70 million Americans live with a disability. That’s roughly one in four adults. And any of us can join that number at any point in our lives. Through an injury, illness, or simply getting older. Disabled people are one of the largest minorities in this country. Yet there’s one part of their lives that almost never gets discussed: sex. Today, that silence is being challenged – by disabled people themselves – online, in film and television, and in conversations happening in bedrooms and doctors’ offices across the country. In February, we brought you 1A’s first sex week – about sex across our lifespans. And you told us you wanted more about sex and disability. How do we express our needs in the bedroom, especially when the sex we want doesn’t match common ideas of what sex – and the people who have it – can look like? Find more of our programs online.
