Former President Trump is in serious legal trouble.

And at the same time, he wants his old job back.

It's a really big story, but with different trials in multiple states,

plea deals, testimony, gag orders, it's also really hard to follow. So we created Trump's trials, a new NPR

podcast where we break down the big news from each case and talk about what it means

for democracy in weekly episodes. I'm Scott Detro. Check out Trump's trials from NPR.

In the beginning, there was only darkness.

Until one day... In the beginning, there was only darkness.

Until one day, the breath of life proved ready.

And the Egyptian sun god, Ra,

emerged and bade the world in light.

But the days were not endless.

At sunset, Ra descended into the underworld,

where every night the giant serpent

Apep would attack Ra's heavenly barge, intent on destroying all life

and plunging the world into darkness.

And every night, Ra would vanquish the Serpent,

ensuring that the sun would rise at dawn.

Thereby, in this action or this act of slang

Ra was able to create the Cosmos.
