    In the US, who gets compensated when the government wrongs them?

    It's Juneteenth – the holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S.  The team at NPR's Code Switch team has been looking at a question tied to this day: Who actually gets compensated when the government wrongs them? NPR's Gene Demby joins host Ailsa Chang to discuss that question -- and how the Trump administration's 'anti-weaponization fund' is connected to it.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders wants to give Americans more control over AI. But how?

    A small number of people have made billions from AI and control the future of this groundbreaking technology. Independent US Senator Bernie Sanders wants to spread that wealth and power among the American public.  His idea idea? Create a sovereign wealth fund that can also regulate AI.  But how will it work -- and is there political will to make it happen?

    President Trump is fighting homelessness. Some worry his approach hurts veterans.

    According to the latest government data, nearly 750,000 people are homeless in the United States – including more than 30,000 military veterans. President Trump issued an executive order that aggressively targets homeless people - and advocates fear that includes veterans.

    The Strait of Hormuz could open soon. But will it be safe for ships?

    President Trump and Iran say an agreement has been reached to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway is critical to global trade, especially oil -- and the blockades imposed on it have shocked energy markets, exacerbating inflation in the US. But even if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, will shipping companies feel safe to pass through it, given that sea mines could make their operations dangerous?

    What we know about an Iran deal

    After months of war and deadlocked negotiations, President Donald Trump announced Sunday on social media that he’d struck a deal with Iran. According to Trump and Iranian officials, the deal would open the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting on all fronts, including between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. But Israel, the US partner in this war, isn't a party to this agreement -- and Israeli officials have said that their forces in Lebanon are not going anywhere. What could these dynamics mean for the agreement? NPR correspondents explain what we know about the tentative deal.

    The joys of reporting on 3 teenagers chasing glory in the World Series of Birding

    Reporting assignments can often lead to unexpected joys and lessons. That was the case when NPR's Natalie Escobar and Ava Berger were sent on the road to tag along with three teenage boys competing in the World Series of Birding. The teens had 24 hours to crisscross New Jersey and tally up the number of bird species they spotted. For this week's Reporter's Notebook we hear from Escobar and Berger about how the assignment was both challenging and illuminating.

    SpaceX goes public and is now worth trillions. What happens now?

    SpaceX is now publicly traded, and it’s leaning heavily into space and AI. What does that mean for us humans here on earth? Today, Elon Musk’s company SpaceX had a banner day in the stock market. The company is now valued at more than $2 trillion. That is, after an already record-breaking initial public offering, or IPO. That historic IPO is likely to make Musk the world’s first trillionaire. And while SpaceX isn't profitable yet, investors have big expectations for the company’s ambitions in space and artificial intelligence.
