Yesterday, the Supreme Court struck down a bunch of President Trump’s tariffs. What does that mean? Will anyone get refunds? And … what about this new 10 percent tariff the President announced?

The Invention Invention: how the invention of the sewing machine helped get us more inventions www.npr.org/2026/02/11/n... @samkesler.bsky.social @erikaberas.bsky.social
Ty for sharing!
If you've seen me in the past year I've probably talked your ear off about sewing machines. A while ago I learned that, besides being a major invention itself, it also kicked off a new era in antitrust that gave us the tech world we live in today. Listen:

I’m trying to figure out the right way to say this, because: Look, the CPB closing is devastating, and I don’t in any way want to blow even a wisp of smoke that it isn’t. But twice today, I’ve seen people express how sad they are that all of public television and radio is over. Not true! (1/3)
New: I teamed up with @elenashao.bsky.social
and nytgraphics to map more than 100 public TV and radio stations that are at risk of closing as a result of tonight's vote:

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday evening seeking to prohibit federal funding for NPR and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
The order, which could be subject to legal challenge, called the broadcasters’ news coverage “biased and partisan.”
A screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation reading: "can you write something about robert e. lee in the voice of washington post staff writer gillian brockell?" "Certainly! Here's an excerpt written in the voice of Gillian Brockell, a staff writer at The Washington Post, reflecting on Robert E. Lee's legacy: The Complicated Legacy of Robert E. Lee: A Figure Divided by History By Gillian Brockell When Robert E. Lee's name is invoked, it is often as a symbol of Southern pride military brilliance, or a tragic, doomed cause. But history has a way of shifting its lens, and in recent years, the image of Lee -- the Confederate general, the hero of lost causes -- has become increasingly more fraught. The man who stood as the face of a rebellion that tore the nation apart now stands at the center of an ongoing reckoning over the Confederacy's legacy, and our struggle to reconcile memory with reality."
When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles.
Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.
As part of its ongoing investigation of NPR and PBS, the Federal Communications Commission asked 13 public radio stations, including WBUR, to turn over information about their on-air sponsorships — known as “underwriting.”
