Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. A Republican election overhaul that

President Trump said should be Congress's top priority has failed in the Senate. Republicans tried

The act would have required all new voters to show a document proving their U.S. citizenship,

like a passport or a birth

U.S. coal production has declined by more than half in the past two decades. Now, Trump says will

extend the life of 13 coal plants nationwide, plus open two new ones, restart another, and open a

terminal in Oakland, California. That could export coal from western states such as Wyoming,
