Hey there,
it's Tamara Keith and real quick before we start the show I want to take a minute to talk about public media It's what makes the NPR politics podcast and other NPR podcast special Public media was founded to inform,
to educate, to expand our perspective.
But as of this fall, federal funding for public media,
including NPR and local NPR stations, has been eliminated.
Despite that, we remain committed to this work,
to give you the context and analysis you need to make sense of the news coming out of Washington.
This year alone, we've covered President Trump's second term from every angle,
reshaping the federal government, launching a global trade war, an immigration crackdown in U.S.
cities, and so much more.
You can help us keep this work going in 2026.
