Consider This from NPR

Israel’s invasion in Lebanon is rapidly widening and could outlast the war in Iran.

People in southern Lebanon are living through a war within a war.

The war is of course the U-S Israeli campaign against Iran.

The war within Lebanon started with a series of strikes from the militant group Hezbollah.

They launched rockets and drones from Lebanon into Israel.

Israel responded with strikes in Lebanon.

And with that, a conflict that has flared on and off for decades reignited.

Americans are keeping their driver’s licenses longer than
ever and driving well into their old age. But how long is too long? And who
decides when to take away the keys?

NPR’s transportation correspondent, Joel Rose, has been
looking into those questions and found that there is no single national standard
when it comes to older adults and driving. And the laws vary greatly from state
to state.  

Often, the decision on whether it is time to take away the
keys is left to family members. And that can be difficult when the driver
resists.

Anytime tensions are high in the Middle East, oil prices can
be expected to spike.  So a war in the region is pretty much guaranteed to
mean higher prices at the pump. And that is particularly painful for anyone
whose living depends on what it costs to fill up.

Host Scott Detrow speaks with NPR’s economics correspondent
Scott Horsley about how the U.S. economy is faring, almost a month since the U.S. and Israel launched the first strikes against Iran.

Plus, we hear from American business owners whose companies
are already being impacted by higher fuel prices – a long-haul trucker based in
Ohio, and a pair of brothers who run a lobster distribution operation from Long
Island, New York.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has a new book.

Unlike much of his public speaking of late – like his record-breaking 25-hour Senate floor speech – it isn’t directly about the politics of the current moment.

It’s an argument for civic ideals – for ten virtues he sees as critical to American life, like agency and patriotism, but also vulnerability and humility.

What does that mean for his political future? Sen. Booker addresses that question among others in our interview.
