Marketplace All-in-One - The costs of aging in place
Surveys consistently show people want to age in their current home. Yet homeownership is costly for older adults of modest means, especially those still paying off their mortgage and living on fixed incomes. That hardship can be exacerbated, too, by additional medical or disability needs. We'll hear more as part of our Buy Now Pay Later project, produced in partnership with Next Avenue, a nonprofit news platform for older adults produced by Twin Cities PBS. But first: The Senate is coming off an all-nighter, and stocks rebounded remarkably this past quarter.
The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Democrats Are Not Proud to Be American
Gallup reports that just 36 percent of self-described Democrats say they are proud to be American, as opposed to 92 percent of Republicans.

Native America Calling - Tuesday, July 1, 2025 – The necessary, but imperfect reality of the Indian Health Service
The Indian Health Service (IHS) remains largely misunderstood by those not directly connected to it, and often derided as a bureaucratic and confusing system by those who are. IHS marks its 70th anniversary, providing care to all Native citizens. Of course, the agency’s history is also documented in the hundreds of treaties over almost 200 years in which the U.S. Government explicitly signed on to its responsibility. We’ll trace the history of IHS from the first immunizations to Public Law 638, and chart its future amid a major reassessment of federal government services.
GUESTS
Benjamin Smith (Navajo), acting director of Indian Health Service
Retired Rear Adm. Michael Weahkee (Zuni Pueblo), former director of Indian Health Service
Mary Smith (Cherokee), former CEO of Indian Health Service
Dr. Donald Warne (Oglala Lakota), co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health

Marketplace All-in-One - Where the big tax cut and spending bill stands
As part of the rules of reconciliation — which is what's letting the GOP pass its bill without Democratic votes — Senators can offer unlimited amendments. But the debate on each one is around 10 minutes. This gives senators a chance to change components of the bill, but it's also being used as a messaging tool to highlight policies some Senators feel are harmful. Also: a down dollar and a breakthrough in EV batteries.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - What SCOTUS Ruling On LGBTQ Lessons Could Mean For Chicago Schools
The Supreme Court last week ruled in favor of religious parents who demanded they should have the choice to pull their children out of lessons that included topics such as same-sex marriage. The 6-3 decision reversed a lower-court ruling that sided with the school system. Reset spoke with Pierce School of International Studies elementary school teacher Josh Lerner about what the ruling could mean for workload, academic freedom and classroom dynamics.
