President Donald Trump is ramping up his attacks on the Federal Reserve.On Monday, the president posted orders on Truth Social to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook – effective immediately. The president claims she committed mortgage fraud, an allegation first raised by a Trump loyalist and housing official.Cook, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, responded in a statement saying that Trump has no authority to remove her and that she will continue her duties. Cook has not been charged with a crime.It's an unprecedented move that puts into question the independence of the central bank. So, what comes next and what does this mean for the Fed?Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

The self-proclaimed faithful are pearl-clutching over a Black, queer woman playing Jesus in a new artistic production, branding it "demonic" and "blasphemous." This manufactured outrage, disguised as religious conviction, exposes **fragile worldviews and deep-seated misogyny and racism** within the Christian right. They confuse artistic reinterpretation with an attack on their faith, conveniently ignoring that art's purpose is to challenge preconceived notions. It's yet another predictable display of **hypocrisy and selective victimhood**, proving that bigotry finds a way to surface even when the supposed "threat" is a fictional character portrayed by a talented actress. Their fear of inclusivity only amplifies the message: art thrives by questioning tradition, not by conforming to narrow, prejudiced definitions.News Source:Cynthia Erivo's 'demonic' portrayal of Jesus prompts outrage 'Intentional blasphemy'By Jon Brown for Christian PostAugust 4, 2025

"Corrupt" is the word President Trump is using, without evidence, to describe mail-in voting. It's how almost one third of Americans cast their ballots in the last election.States including Florida and Pennsylvania also saw recent jumps in GOP mail-in ballots, after President Trump in his campaign called for votes by any means possible, including by mail.And while mail-in voting has historically favored Democrats, there is no evidence of the fraud Trump is claiming. But his push to end it fits a pattern: our President wants to change how elections are run in the United States.In this installment of our weekly series, “If You Can Keep It,” we get to the issue right at the very heart of U.S. democracy: the ability to cast a ballot in free and fair elections.Find more of our programs online.

Nearly 43 million Americans have federal student loan debt. Their borrowing totals more than $1.8 trillion. That's according to the Education Data Initiative.Now, the federal student loan system is facing significant changes under the Trump administration.One of the biggest differences is the end of the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE plan, started by President Joe Biden. The income-driven program offers low monthly payments and an expedited path to loan forgiveness. Republicans challenged the plan in court where it's still tied up, leaving the 7.7 million enrollees in limbo.How is the Trump administration overhauling the federal student loan system? And what does this mean for the tens of millions of current and future borrowers?Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.

This week's EYE ON NPI will extend your power supply options, it's Diodes Inc's AP3377 series USB PD3.1 Sink Controllers (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/d/diodes/ap3377-usb-sink-controllers) a pair of chips that take the USB Type Power Delivery Sink specification to new highs with extended voltage ranges and two methods of configuration: the AP33772S (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) has I2C control interface while the AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) has two resistors to set the voltage and current limit. We've covered USB Power delivery sink controllers on EYE ON NPI before (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) with chips that can be configured to request higher voltages than 5V from a USB port. This is a boon for getting rid of DC jacks with various voltage and current ratings. It also helps prevent accidents where folks plug in a 12V power supply into a 5V port just because the plug is the same size. With classic USB power delivery, the client device communicates over the CC pins to the upstream computer or power plug to request any of the standard voltages: 5V, 9V, 12V (optional), 15V, or 20V and from 1A up to 5A. With software negotiation, the sink can figure out what power supply voltages are available then accept or reject to get the best power supply efficiency and performance. As we see adoption across many industries to use standard USB C, the power needs have also been expanded! As of USB PD v3.1 there is now Extended Power Range (https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd) which adds "three new fixed voltages: 28V (above 100W), 36V (above 140W) and 48V (above 180W)" for charging bigger devices like laptops or electric scooters. Plus a "new adjustable voltage mode enabling a range from 15V to one of three maximum voltages (28V, 36V, or 48V) depending on the available power allowing the device being powered to request specific voltages to a 100 mV resolution." That first quote is pretty clear: we now just have bigger voltages available so we can keep under the 5A current limit that fixes how much current the contacts themselves can handle with standard USB C ports/cables. The second is interesting because it implies we can now select voltages that are outside the standard issue. Now AVS only allows adjustment over 15V, probably this was a compromise since there's big jumps between 28/36/48V. There's also a separate variable-voltage specification called Programmable Power Supply (https://hackaday.com/2025/03/24/pps-is-the-hottest-usb-c-feature-you-didnt-know-about/) a.k.a PPS a.ka. "Fast Charge" (https://www.usb.org/node/585) which allows finer resolution from 3.3V up to 21V - or whatever is the max voltage on the power adapter - in 20mV voltage steps and 50mA current steps. Popularized by tablet/phone maker Samsung but now is appearing on other devices, it recognizes that often times charging speed is limited by the thermal dissipation capabilities of the charging circuitry. That is to say, even with buck converters, if they use tiny SMT parts there's still an 'optimal' voltage and current level that will give the best efficiency and thus charge rate. Just like not all voltages are always supported by USB PD power supplies, PPS support is not required so check the side of the adapter or the manual, to see if it mentions PPS and the voltage/current range. For PPS support, you need to use the AP33772S (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) because there's fine tuning required. But if you just want 'every day' AVS/PD support, where you can select the voltage and current required, the AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) is much simpler. Instead of having a full I2C setup and configuration, two resistors are queried on power up and used to auto-negotiate. The onboard LED can provide some basic feedback on whether negotiation succeeded. According to the AP33772S datasheet, there is a variant of the chip, AP33772SDKZ-13-FA02 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/diodes-incorporated/AP33772SDKZ-13-FA02/27346457) that supports having VSEL resistor for initial voltage configuration - that part is available for special order only. If you want a simple, low-cost way to add USB Type C power delivery with extended voltage support and PPS capabilities, the the AP33772S (https://www.digikey.com/short/59d9mbvm) and AP33771C (https://www.digikey.com/short/022nd0fp) are easy ways to make customizable or stand-alone power supplies easy. Now there's no excuse to not convert your next design to run on USB and ditch that confusing DC power plug for good! Whichever one you choose, they're both in stock right now at DigiKey for immediate shipment. There's even eval boards (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/d/diodes/ap3377-usb-sink-controllers) to get your design kick-started fast. Order today and you'll have fresh chips in hand by tomorrow to make your power delivery dreams come true.

The U.S. undertakes the census every 10 years. Hundreds of thousands of Census workers set out to count everyone living in the U.S., regardless of their citizenship status.That data is used to reallocate seats in the House of Representatives, redraw voting districts on the local level, and decide how federal funds should be allocated in each state. The next one is 5 years away, and President Donald Trump wants to make big changes to the 2030 count – by excluding noncitizens. Why does it matter who's counted in the Census?

Commander and Astronaut James A. Lovell, Jr. – died Thursday at the age of 97. He was one of the three-man Apollo 13 spacecraft crew that set for the moon in April 1970. In 1970, the Apollo 13 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center. It captured the world's attention as America's third attempt to get to the moon. But after only two days, an explosion crippled the spacecraft and changed its mission: Get home safely.The three astronauts onboard, and dozens of flight controllers on Earth, labored for days to solve one challenge after another.Captain Jim Lovell commanded that mission—after a series of historical firsts with his flights on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, and Apollo 8.In 2020, 1A's Todd Zwillich spoke to the captain about that historic flight on its 50th anniversary.

The president of the United States fired the head of the government's main economic statistics agency after a recent report showed a less than positive picture of U.S. employment.The civil servant President Donald Trump fired was former Commissioner of Labor Statistics Erika McEntarfer, a labor economist nominated to the role in 2023 by President Joe Biden. The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed her in 2024. Commissioners often serve under multiple presidents.The president defended his reasoning for the firing on social media – though he didn't provide evidence to back up his claims. We discuss the consequences when the president fires the person at the head of the government's main agency for economic statistics.Want to support 1A?

Abraham Lincoln was the first U.S. president to sport a beard. For the next 50 years, whiskers were commonplace in the White House. But then, they went out of style.Now, Vice President JD Vance is the first executive branch leader in more than a century with a furry face.And others are following suit. From the Senate to the campaign trail, more and more men in politics are letting their facial hair grow free. But what does that tell us about masculinity, power, and how we see each other?We discuss why politicians remained bare faced for so long, and what the reemergence of whiskers in the White House represents.

Today we speak with Daniela Navin and Jeanette de La Riva, two members of Grupo Auto Defensa, a community organization based in Pasadena CA which has come about in response to attacks by ICE which have violently disrupted everyday life and led people to form new relations of mutual support and care. We hear their stories of how Trump lieutenant Stephen Miller's demand that ICE arrest 3,000 people every day has put unbelievable constraints on hard-working people's lives. Nevertheless, we also hear how they have invented tactics to challenge these repressive measures.

Across the country, K-12 teachers are prepping classrooms, reviewing lesson plans, and bracing for another school year that, for some, feels politically and personally charged. The Department of Education is slowly being dismantled by the Trump administration. In some districts, immigration officials have shown up at schools, which likely contributed to a rise in student absences last spring. And artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping what both teaching and learning look like. We hear directly from educators and what's at the top of their minds as they head into the new school year.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking revelations about dark energy, lunar geology, and Europe's innovative space weather monitoring initiative.Dark Energy: A Changing Force?Astronomers have compiled the largest supernova dataset to date, revealing tantalizing hints that dark energy may not be a constant force in the universe. This research, led by the International Supernova Cosmology Project, analyzes over 2,000 Type 1A supernovae to explore the evolving nature of dark energy, which currently comprises nearly 70% of the universe's mass-energy content. The findings suggest that if dark energy is weakening, it could significantly impact the universe's expansion and ultimate fate, challenging existing models and sparking excitement in the astrophysics community.New Insights into Lunar MagmaA recent study analyzing samples from China's Chang' e 5 mission indicates that molten magma may have persisted on the Moon's surface much longer than previously believed. Researchers, led by Stephen Alado, utilized radioactive dating to reveal that volcanic activity on the lunar far side could have continued for billions of years, contradicting earlier theories about the Moon's cooling process. This new understanding of lunar geology offers valuable insights into the Moon's evolution and the processes that shape celestial bodies.Europe's Space Weather Early Warning SystemThe European Space Agency is set to launch Vigil, a pioneering space weather probe, in 2031. Positioned at the Lagrangian L5 point, Vigil will provide unprecedented monitoring of solar activity, allowing for early warnings of solar storms that could disrupt communication systems and power grids on Earth. This mission aims to enhance our ability to predict and mitigate the impacts of space weather on modern infrastructure, marking a significant advancement in global space safety efforts.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvESA Vigil Missionhttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Space_Weather/VigilBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun.Odds are you probably know what that line references without having to click the link. And there's a good reason for that.Sharks have been around for nearly 450 million years – a lot longer than humans. And in the relatively short time we've shared the planet with them, they've become a part of some of our most treasured pop culture moments. But that also means they've fallen victim to pop culture narratives.Since the release of "Jaws" in 1975, sharks – especially great white sharks – have endured a reputation as aggressive and violent. But however we're thinking about them on land, they're struggling to survive at sea.According to the World Wildlife Fund, nearly a third of all shark and ray species are threatened with extinction – with overfishing and harmful fishing practices at the top of the list of hazards.We get into all things sharks, from the so-called "Jaws-effect," to all the things we get wrong about this fascinating fish.Want to support 1A?

President Donald Trump is suing the publisher and owner of the Wall Street Journal and seeking damages of $10 billion for defamation.Last week, the paper published an article describing a letter Trump sent to disgraced, self-styled financier Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. That letter reportedly included a lewd drawing. The president says — without evidence — that he didn't write the letter. The Journal's publisher says they will defend against the lawsuit.In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote the lawsuit was filed "not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media."We discuss the president's legal action — and the threat of it — against the media.
