| 0:00.0 | Live from NPR News, I'm Janine Herbst. A federal appeals court has struck down most of President Trump's worldwide tariffs. |
| 0:09.6 | But as NPR Scott Horsley reports, the government will continue to collect those taxes for now. |
| 0:16.1 | The appeals court agreed with a specialty trade court that President Trump overstepped his authority in ordering tariffs on virtually everything the U.S. imports using a 1970s-era law that doesn't mention the word tariffs, and it had never been used for that purpose before. |

| 1:24.4 | Ambassador Riyadh Mansour is the permanent observer of Palestine to the UN. |
| 1:29.7 | We will see exactly what it means and how it applies to any of our delegation, and we will |
| 1:37.6 | respond accordingly. The Trump administration has taken steps to target Palestinians with visa restrictions. |
| 1:46.8 | Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a new congressional map into law today. |
| 1:51.0 | The Republicans say will win them new inroads with Latino voters. |
| 1:55.9 | NPS Claret Grisales reports the GOP is wagering a Texas hold'em that could dictate if they get to keep control of the U.S. House. |
| 2:05.0 | Local business owner Tomas Hernandez Jr. says the political environment in South Central Texas is more heated than ever with plans to move his community into a new district. |
