  • A fact checker hangs up his Pinocchios

    A fact checker hangs up his Pinocchios
    Jul 31 2025
    "In an era where false claims are the norm, it's much easier to ignore the fact-checkers." Those are the final words of the final column of Glenn Kessler, who has been The Fact Checker at the Washington Post these last 14 years.

    Kessler is one of many journalists making high-profile exits from the Post, some of whom cite the new direction the paper's leadership is taking as the reason they're leaving.

    In an interview, Kessler reflects on the arc of the project, why he's leaving, and the value of fact checkers — even if politicians ignore them.

    How firing hundreds of employees this year has transformed the Justice Department
    Jul 30 2025
    This year, hundreds of employees at the Justice Department have been fired, sometimes over clashes with the Trump administration, and other times for unknown reasons.

    Those departures are spreading fear across the workforce and transforming the Justice Department.

    NPR Justice correspondent Carrie Johnson spoke with a few of the career civil servants who have lost their job for reasons they say are illegal or improper.

  • A new executive order tackles causes of homelessness. Why are some advocates worried?

    A new executive order tackles causes of homelessness. Why are some advocates worried?
    Jul 29 2025
    President Donald Trump is aiming to fundamentally shift how the country manages homelessness with a new executive order he signed last week.

    It calls for changes that would make it easier for states and cities to move people living on the street into treatment for mental illness or addiction, and in some cases, potentially force people into treatment.

    Consider This: The Trump administration says the federal government has spent tens of billions of dollars on housing without addressing the root causes of homelessness. But critics worry this new executive order won't solve those root causes, either.
