On NPR's Wildcard podcast, Jamie Lee Curtis talks about Hollywood's pressure to cover up aging.

You can't hide the truth. We are who we are. And if that's ultimately what I get to represent in this lifetime, then I will feel it was a life well lived.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The head of the National Transportation Safety Board is opposing part of the defense policy bill, which just passed out of the House today and is advancing to the Senate.

NPR's Joel Rose reports the nation's top safety investigator warns the bill would undermine safety improvements made after a deadly mid-air collision in January.

And so unfortunately, this national anti-immigrant fervor is affecting us here in Miami.

And I do think it influenced the way people voted this time.
