WCSU - Key Persons

From Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Special to A Man on the Inside, movies and TV found new ways to address death and dying. From a heart-wrenching epiphany in the drama Tuesday to a meme-able moment in Challengers, these were the lines that critic Aisha Harris has remembered all year. What's Making Us Happy: A guide to your weekend scrolling, listening and viewing RaMell Ross' adaptation of Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is an ambitious, immersive experience. Aisha Harris is a host of Pop Culture Happy Hour. From 2012 to 2018, Harris covered culture for Slate Magazine as a staff writer, editor and the host of the film and TV podcast Represent, where she wrote about everything from the history of self-care to Dolly Parton's (formerly Dixie) Stampede and interviewed creators like Barry Jenkins and Greta Gerwig. She joined The New York Times in 2018 as the assistant TV editor on the Culture Desk, producing a variety of pieces, including a feature Q&A with the Exonerated Five and a deep dive into the emotional climax of the Pixar movie Coco. And in 2019, she moved to the Opinion Desk in the role of culture editor, where she wrote or edited a variety of pieces at the intersection of the arts, society and politics. Born and raised in Connecticut, she earned her bachelor's degree in theatre from Northwestern University and her master's degree in cinema studies from New York University. In Anora, Mikey Madison plays a sex worker who dances at a strip club and meets - and marries - the son of a Russian oligarch. Filmmaker Sean Baker seems to anticipate and avoid conventions about on-screen violence. Industry is less concerned with whether its characters are "likable" and more interested in how they get what they want. In the Season 3 finale, those ambitions reached their inevitable - sometimes gruesome - conclusions. Each week, guests and hosts on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour share what's bringing them joy. This week: The show How to Die Alone, the book You Gotta Eat, and Batman on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In The Substance, Demi Moore plays an aerobics TV star who turns 50 and is promptly ousted from her gig in Hollywood. She and Margaret Qualley duke it out in this excruciating body horror tale. A rundown of the fall movies that we should be looking forward to the most, and the standouts from the Toronto International Film Festival. Imagine camping out in the woods, taking mushrooms, and meeting your future self ... played by Aubrey Plaza. That's what happens to 18-year-old Elliott (Maisy Stella) in this charming, quirky comedy.

• Business Reporter at NPR
• Member of Elon Musk 's DOGE Team Resigns After Racist Posts Resurface
• President - Elect Donald Trump Spoke on the Possibility of Delaying a Ban Less Than 24 Hours from When the Social Media App Is Expected to Shut Down
• Staff Reporter at Nashville Public Radio
• Trump Administration Says It Has No Plans to Fulfill $400 Million 'Armored Tesla' Contract

Trump administration says it has no plans to fulfill $400 million 'armored Tesla' contract That's according to a public State Department procurement document. It comes as ethics experts raise conflict of interest questions about the chief executive of Tesla, Elon Musk, who is a close adviser to President Trump. Musk and other Silicon Valley executives have long railed against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for its work overseeing the tech industry. Now, Musk hopes to eliminate the agency. The billionaire's campaign to radically upend federal agencies is stunning former White House officials, even in a political moment when many things are described as unprecedented. The Chinese chatbot took the world by storm and rattled stock markets. But lost in all the attention was a focus on how the company is collecting and storing data. Meta agreed to pay President Trump $25 million to settle a 2021 federal lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations after his suspension from Facebook and Instagram in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack. The order follows TikTok going dark for about 14 hours after the Supreme Court upheld a law prohibiting the service from operating in the U.S. unless it breaks away from its parent company in China. The president-elect said he will issue an executive order Monday to delay the ban while he brokers a sale. The app has returned on web and mobile, but is not available in Apple and Google's stores. The app had more than 170 million monthly users in the U.S. The black-out is the result of a law forcing the service offline unless it sheds its ties to ByteDance, its China-based parent company. The decision resolves a long-running legal dispute between the Department of Justice and TikTok. But experts say President-elect Donald Trump will now have considerable sway over the platform's future in the U.S. The law mandates that TikTok be banned in the United States on Jan. 19, unless Chinese company ByteDance divests itself of ownership. Attorneys for TikTok had challenged the law's constitutionality. "The New York Times" and other publishers have sued OpenAI for copyright infringement, saying they did not grant the ChatGPT-maker the right to use their material. In three consolidated suits, publishers allege that OpenAI broke copyright law by copying millions of articles without permission or payment. OpenAI counters that the fair use doctrine protects them. Bobby Allyn is a business reporter at NPR based in San Francisco. He covers technology and how Silicon Valley's largest companies are transforming how we live and reshaping society. He came to San Francisco from Washington, where he focused on national breaking news and politics. Before that, he covered criminal justice at member station WHYY. In that role, he focused on major corruption trials, law enforcement, and local criminal justice policy. He helped lead NPR's reporting of Bill Cosby's two criminal trials. He was a guest on Fresh Air after breaking a major story about the nation's first supervised injection site plan in Philadelphia. In between daily stories, he has worked on several investigative projects, including a story that exposed how the federal government was quietly hiring debt collection law firms to target the homes of student borrowers who had defaulted on their loans. Allyn also strayed from his beat to cover Philly parking disputes that divided in the city, the last meal at one of the city's last all-night diners, and a remembrance of the man who wrote the Mister Softee jingle on a xylophone in the basement of his Northeast Philly home. At other points in life, Allyn has been a staff reporter at Nashville Public Radio and daily newspapers including The Oregonian in Portland and The Tennessean in Nashville. His work has also appeared in BuzzFeed News, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. A native of Wilkes-Barre, a former mining town in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Allyn is the son of a machinist and a church organist. He's a dedicated bike commuter and long-distance runner. He is a graduate of American University in Washington.

Job Titles:

• FBI Director Wray to Resign at End of Biden Administration
• Federal Courts Trumpet Steps to Protect Workers After MeToo Movement
• Florida Judge Blocks Release of Special Counsel Report on Trump Cases
• President - Elect Set to Shape 'Trump Judiciary' for Next Generation
• President Elect Trump and a Republican - Led Senate Will Have the Power to Reshape the Federal Judiciary for Decades to Come

An order to dismiss the corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams has sent the Justice Department into a crisis. Several top prosecutors resigned rather than obey orders to dismiss the case. Three senior prosecutors resigned from the DOJ after refusing to drop a corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. It's raising alarms about whether politics influences decisions in Trump's DOJ. DOJ had already dropped the case against Trump. Now a federal appeals court has formally dismissed the remainder of that case against Trump's valet Walt Nauta and property manager Carlos De Oliveira. A veteran Justice Department lawyer has left the agency and is starting a new group to help advise and defend government lawyers under attack from the new administration. In little more than a week, the Trump administration has fired people who prosecuted the president and reassigned other career officials. On his first day in the White House, President Donald Trump gave commutations and pardons to every defendant charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Many assaulted police. The president-elect plans to replace current FBI Director Christopher Wray with Patel, a close ally of the president-elect and former national security aide, has berated the Justice Department and the news media. Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are in line for some of the top jobs at the U.S. Justice Department. Legal experts predict President-elect Donald Trump will move quickly next year to cement and extend his legacy in appointing federal judges. The federal courts say they have taken "extensive" steps to protect workers from abuse, discrimination and harassment since the rise of the #MeToo movement, but critics say many workers don't trust the internal system for reporting complaints. President elect Trump and a Republican-led Senate will have the power to reshape the federal judiciary for decades to come. The incoming Trump administration has expressed a desire for a big overhaul at the Department of Justice and the FBI. The report on federal charges against Trump for election interference in 2020 offers special counsel Jack Smith a last chance to explain his decisions after dropping the case. Prosecutors dropped the two criminal cases against Trump after he won the 2024 election, and the final report by Smith may be the last chance for prosecutors to explain their decisions. Florida federal judge Aileen Cannon ordered the Justice Department not to share Jack Smith's final report until a federal appeals court resolves the legal fight. President Biden's judicial picks have included the first Black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court, women of color to federal appeals courts and openly LGBTQ judges to serve on the federal bench. Officials are still trying to identify the person who placed bombs outside of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee offices in 2021. Now they have fresh details. Advocates and relatives of people in prison say they're facing lockdowns that hit hard during the holidays. Wray told employees at an FBI town hall that he is resigning next month to "avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray." President-elect Donald Trump called the resignation "a great day for America." Carrie Johnson is a justice correspondent for the Washington Desk. She covers a wide variety of stories about justice issues, law enforcement, and legal affairs for NPR's flagship programs Morning Edition and All Things Considered, as well as the newscasts and NPR.org. Johnson has chronicled major challenges to the landmark voting rights law, a botched law enforcement operation targeting gun traffickers along the Southwest border, and the Obama administration's deadly drone program for suspected terrorists overseas. Prior to coming to NPR in 2010, Johnson worked at the Washington Post for 10 years, where she closely observed the FBI, the Justice Department, and criminal trials of the former leaders of Enron, HealthSouth, and Tyco. Earlier in her career, she wrote about courts for the weekly publication Legal Times. Her work has been honored with awards from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, the Society for Professional Journalists, SABEW, and the National Juvenile Defender Center. She has been a finalist for the Loeb Award for financial journalism and for the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news for team coverage of the massacre at Fort Hood, Texas. Johnson is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Benedictine University in Illinois. Trump says he intends to nominate loyalist Kash Patel to serve as FBI director

Old loans that homeowners thought were long dead have been rising from the grave as debt buyers move to collect. Some are allegedly breaking the law. If this is happening to you, tell us your story. The Massachusetts AG is cracking down on a company collecting on "zombie second mortgages" - old loans that homeowners thought were dead but rise from the grave. People are losing houses over them. Listen • 4:31 The move gives mortgage companies more time to get a new program up and running to rescue veterans who were facing foreclosure through no fault of their own. 'Zombie mortgages' threaten thousands of homeowners, an NPR investigation finds Chris Arnold Thousands of homeowners face foreclosure over old zombie second mortgages from the housing-bubble days. Many thought the loans were dead. But investors buy them and can move aggressively to collect. NPR's Planet Money: "Zombie 2nd mortgages are coming to life, threatening thousands of Americans' homes" Listen • 4:56 A new NPR investigation finds thousands of homeowners face foreclosure over so-called zombie second mortgages. The loans come back to life after they get bought up by debt collectors. NPR's Planet Money: "Zombie 2nd mortgages are coming to life, threatening thousands of Americans' homes" If you've had trouble trying to get current on your mortgage again after skipping payments through a COVID forbearance, NPR wants to hear from you! A new NPR investigation shows that election workers nationwide are already bracing for threats as the 2024 presidential race looms. Republicans and Democrats alike who work to ensure free and fair elections have been facing increased threats and harassment. If you have been targeted, NPR wants to hear from you. Wells Fargo will pay $3.7 billion to settle charges for wrongfully seizing homes and cars. This is the largest penalty ever imposed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. NPR correspondent Chris Arnold is based in Boston. His reports are heard regularly on NPR's award-winning newsmagazines Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition. He joined NPR in 1996 and was based in San Francisco before moving to Boston in 2001. Most recently, Arnold has been reporting on the financial struggle millions of Americans are facing amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As part of that, he's done investigative stories showing how mortgage companies have been misleading homeowners who've lost their jobs, demanding outrageous balloon payments if they skip mortgage payments and scaring them away from help that Congress wanted them to have under the CARES Act. Arnold's reporting often focuses on consumer protection issues. His series of stories "The Trouble with TEACH Grants," that he reported with NPR's Cory Turner, exposed a debacle at the U.S. Department of Education through which public school teachers had grants unfairly converted into large student loan debts - some upwards of $20,000. As a result of the stories, members of Congress demanded reforms and the Education Department overhauled the program and is now giving thousands of teachers their grant money back and erasing their debts. Arnold was honored with a 2017 George Foster Peabody Award for his coverage of the Wells Fargo banking scandal. His stories sparked a Senate inquiry into the bank's treatment of employees who tried to blow the whistle on the wrongdoing. Arnold also won the National Association of Consumer Advocates Award for Investigative Journalism for a series of stories he reported with ProPublica that exposed improper debt collection practices by non-profit hospitals who were suing thousands of their low-income patients. In addition to reporting for NPR's main radio programs, Arnold has been hosting the personal finance episodes of NPR's Life Kit podcasts, which offer listeners actionable tips backed up by behavioral economics research on the best ways to save money, invest for the future and a range of other topics. Arnold previously served as the lead reporter for the NPR series "Your Money and Your Life", which explored personal finance issues. As part of that, he reported on the problem of Wall Street firms charging excessive fees in retirement accounts - fees that siphon billions of dollars annually from Americans trying to save for the future. For this series, Arnold won the 2016 Gerald Loeb Award, which honors work that informs and protects the private investor and the general public. Following the 2008 financial crisis and collapse of the housing market, Arnold reported on problems within the nation's largest banks that led to the banks improperly foreclosing on thousands of American homeowners. For this work, Arnold earned a 2011 Edward R. Murrow Award for the special series, "The Foreclosure Nightmare." He's also been honored with the Newspaper Guild's 2009 Heywood Broun Award for broadcast journalism. He was also a finalist for the Scripps Howard Foundation's National Journalism Award. Arnold was chosen for a Nieman Journalism Fellowship at Harvard University during the 2012-2013 academic year. He joined a small group of other journalists from the U.S. and abroad and studied economics, leadership, and the future of journalism in the digital age. Arnold also teaches Radio Journalism as a Lecturer at Yale University and was named a Poynter Fellow by Yale in 2016. Over his career at NPR, Arnold has covered a range of other subjects - from Katrina recovery in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, to immigrant workers in the fishing industry, to a new kind of table saw that won't cut your fingers off. He traveled to Turin, Italy, for NPR's coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics. He has also followed the dramatic rise in the numbers of teenagers abusing the powerful and highly addictive painkiller Oxycontin. In the days and months following the Sept. 11 attacks, Arnold reported from New York and contributed to the NPR coverage that won the Overseas Press Club and the George Foster Peabody Awards. He chronicled the recovery effort at Ground Zero, focusing on members of the Port Authority Police department as they struggled with the deaths of 37 officers - the greatest loss of any police department in U.S. history. Prior to his move to Boston, Arnold traveled the country for NPR doing feature stories on entrepreneurship. His pieces covered technologists, farmers, and family business owners. He also reported on efforts to kindle entrepreneurship in economically disadvantaged areas ranging from inner-city Los Angeles to the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. Arnold has worked in public radio since 1993. Before joining NPR, he was a freelance reporter working out of San Francisco's NPR Member Station, KQED. The VA halted foreclosures after an NPR investigation found thousands of vets were facing foreclosure and it wasn't their fault. Now the VA's unveiling a rescue plan that leaves some out in the cold. Lawmakers grilled the head of the VA home loan program this week about a self-inflicted error with the department's COVID forbearance program that left thousands of veterans in danger of foreclosure. After NPR broke this story in October, the Veterans Affairs halted foreclosures for thousands of vets who were unfairly about to lose their homes. Lawmakers hold a hearing to demand answers. Senators are introducing a bill to help thousands of veterans who, through no fault of their own, were left facing foreclosure when a VA COVID-assistance program ended abruptly. Realtors hope it will be easier to buy a house in 2024. It can't get much harder: last year was one of the slowest on record thanks to high mortgage rates coupled with a housing shortage. A pause in foreclosures after an NPR investigation may be of no help to many vets. They were already pushed into costly loan modifications after a move by the VA stranded them in a tough spot. The Department of Veterans Affairs put a stop to foreclosures for veterans with VA home loans after NPR found that thousands were at risk of losing their homes through no fault of their own. The Department of Veterans Affairs is intervening on behalf of 6,000 homeowners with VA loans who are in the foreclosure process. Many more are delinquent. The move follows an investigation by NPR. The move follows an NPR investigation that finds thousands of veterans are facing foreclosure through no fault of their own and that the VA can stop them from losing their homes.

Investigators are still working to piece together key details to determine the cause of the crash that killed 67 people. The airspace above Reagan National Airport, where a commercial plane collided with an Army helicopter this week, has become increasingly congested with air traffic, including helicopters.
