Ballot initiatives are one way for voters to get issues that matter to them enshrined in law, especially if lawmakers aren't interested in taking them on in local legislatures. But, efforts in several Republican-led states are trying to make it harder for people to get initiatives on ballots in the first place. This podcast: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson. The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

  • On the Code Switch podcast, 40 years ago,

  • the Philadelphia Police Department carried out a bombing that destroyed a Black neighborhood on live TV.

  • And yet the deadly events of that day have been largely forgotten.

  • There is now a historic marker

  • because a group of middle school children were assigned to look at police brutality in their community.

  • Listen to the Code Switch podcast from the NPR Network.

  • Hi, this is Sarah, baby Ivan, and John from Beatrice, Nebraska.

  • We're taking our first tractor ride as a family this planting season.

  • This podcast was recorded at 1.17 p.m. on Monday, May 19th, 2025.

  • Things may have changed by the time you hear this,

  • but we'll still be complaining about the weather no matter what it is.

  • Here's the show.

  • Is there like a car seat for a tractor situation?

  • Or do we think that's like just in the lap?

  • Or what does that look like, do you think?

  • I like that first tractor ride is a milestone in a life.

  • By the way, one I have not cleared yet.

  • That hasn't happened yet.

  • Everyone should have a tractor ride when they're a baby.

  • Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.
