On Monday, GOP Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee accused presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — who served as the San Francisco district attorney, the California attorney general, and a US senator before becoming the first woman, first  African-American, and first Asian-American vicepresident in the nation’s history — of making it only because of her race.Burchett, a hard-right Republican, told CNN’s Manu Raju that in selecting Harris, President Joe Biden “[j]ust skipped over… white females.”“Are you suggesting she was a DEI hire?” Raju asked, using the acronym for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” programs meant to provide opportunities for historically disadvantaged...

After praising President Joe Biden’s “spectacular” performance at the NATO summit on Tuesday, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was curiously noncommittal about the president’s staying in the 2024 race. Her warning that “time is running short” seemed to suggest that, in her eyes, Biden has not yet decided to stay in the race, despite his […]

Pelosi Sends Brutal Signal to Biden on Dropping Out: ‘Time is Running Short’

Few people, even among Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters, will be surprised by Nancy Pelosi’s assertion in her upcoming memoir that she is not the GOP’s 2024 presidential election nominee’s biggest fan. But the former House speaker does offer a second opinion to her diagnosis that the 78-year-old Trump is “unhinged.” According to The Guardian, at a memorial service in early 2019 for a distinguished psychiatrist, Pelosi writes that she was approached by a succession of prominent doctors who told her they were “deeply concerned that there was something seriously wrong” with Trump who, at that time, of course, was the president of the United States. “I’m not a doctor but I did find his behaviors difficult to understand,” writes Pelosi in The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House. She also writes that she did the dishes and a load of laundry waiting for then VP Mike Pence to answer her call for him to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump, but he never picked up the call.Read it at The GuardianRead more at The Daily Beast.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Tonya Mosley. Immigration remains a pivotal issue in this presidential election, with former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris presenting starkly different visions for America's immigration policy. Trump has doubled down on his hard-line stance, promising an unprecedented crackdown if reelected. He's vowed on his first day in office to launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and reinstating controversial policies like the "Remain in Mexico" program. Harris, on the other hand, says she will attempt to reframe the immigration debate, emphasizing her experience as California's attorney general and prosecuting transnational gangs and human traffickers. She's pledged if elected to revive bipartisan border security legislation and address the root causes of migration from Central America.

Former President Donald Trump claimed Kamala Harris “turned Black” in an explosive on-stage interview Wednesday at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Chicago. “She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump said. “I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black. And now she wants to be known as Black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black?” “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t,” Trump said. “She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden...

The relationship between President Joe Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to be at a standstill following Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. In a recent interview with CNN, Pelosi confirmed that the two haven't spoken since Biden's announcement, raising questions about the state of their once-close relationship.

In 1988, Benjamine Spencer was sentenced to life in prison for a brutal robbery and murder he has always insisted he did not commit. Spencer spent the next 34 years in prison, dashing off letters almost every day to his wife, his friends, lawyers, to anyone who would listen, claiming his innocence. He finally did walk out of prison in March of 2021, and he may finally be exonerated in the coming days. My former NPR colleague Barbara Bradley Hagerty spent years reinvestigating Spencer's case.
