Beef prices have been at (or near) record highs for over a year — and they'll likely stay that way due to economic and environmental issues plaguing the cattle industry.

Every day across the country, people who were arrested by ICE are released. Often they’re alone far from home. But a loose network of men and women are working to help. I rode with a woman as she drove folks home. My latest on a remarkable national story (link below)

Shoutout to all the NPR reporters who lost their jobs today. Thank you for your service. So many great journalists moving on at a time when good reporting is needed more than ever. Nothing but respect.
